Chapter 10
Mia and the five authors walked outside of the metro station and found a jeep that didn't lose power when Talpa invaded Tokyo. The jeep was red and looked very comfortable, "Thank goodness we have a vehicle to drive." Mia sighed, "It would have taken us forever if we had to walk."
"Good," Melody sighed, "I hate walking long distances."
Mia got into the driver's seat while Brian took the passenger seat. Melody, Jazalyn, Melissa, and Sarah each took a back seat. Mia started up the jeep and they were on their way. Jazalyn closed her eyes, she should be able to relax with the wind blowing in her and the promise of being able to find Sarah's partner, but she didn't. All she kept thinking about what happened in the metro station, 'so, Anubis is my partner,' Jazalyn mused mentally, 'then this is going to get more complicated than I thought. I know that it's going to be difficult, especially when partner and armor bearer are on different sides, but I'm just going to have to do what's in Anubis' best interest. Even if it means I have to engage him in single combat.'
Jazalyn closed her eyes, tuning out Melody's annoying "Are we there yet?" question. Suddenly, she could feel the ground move, but it wasn't coming from the car. Turning around and looking in all directions, Jazalyn saw nothing. A few minutes later, Jazalyn heard the rumbling again. Unbuckling her seatbelt, Jazalyn looked behind her only to find a large group of chariots following behind them. "Uh, Mia," Jazalyn stammered.
"Yes," Mia replied.
"Adjust your rear view mirror and tell me what you see," Jazalyn replied.
When Mia adjusted the mirror, she saw an arrow being fired, 'Uh oh,' Mia thought.
"What's going on?" Melissa asked sleepily. When she saw the arrow land next to her, Melissa became wide-awake and started to shake Sarah so she could get up.
"What is it?" Sarah mumbled sleepily.
Melissa pulled out the arrow that had landed next to her seat and showed it to Sarah. "Mia!" Sarah yelled, "Hit the damn accelerator. Everyone else, duck. This could get ugly."
