Chapter 2

Its been 2 days since Chance and his friends Felina and Jake left atma and set off for the town of gila they all had a sense of determination as the memory of the ruined atma was still fresh in their minds , but the most affected was felina she hardly said anything to the boys and jake didn't hardly talk at all himself it was like chance was by himself insted of travelling with friends. The three of were walking among a dirt road when chance noticed a sign in the distance he points it out to the others they look up and felina goes over to check it out she calls them over the two boys go over to her.

"What is it felina?" Chance said as Jake looks at the sign he begins to read the words on it

"Great just what we needed the road is blocked up ahead we are gonna have to take a detour now." Jake said with his arms crossed as he puts his head down chance moans at the sign and looks at felina.

"What are we gonna do now guys we may have to take a detour." Felina said as she puts her hand on her head Chance looks around and noticed that it was getting darker chance was getting worried about this he begins to talk to his companions who was still looking at the sign.

"You guys its getting dark we should stop for today and think of a plan for tomorrow what do you say we can set up camp at that clearing over their." Chance said as he points to a clearing with his index finger Jake and Felina looked in the direction which chance pointed to their potential campsite as Felina looked at the site jake had already walked over their and nodded his head as he agreed with the spot chance picked felina and chance walked over their and started to set up the camp

Later that night the three of them was sitting around the fire chance could see their faces glow and fade in orange as the flames continue to burn and luminate the area around them. It was a cold and brisk night they could tell cause the stars was in the sky chance looked at them and saw them streaming a white stationary path as if they were stuck and was trying to get loose. Chance raised his hands as if can pick them up from the sky felina and jake looked at the stars pretty soon chance broke the silence.

"You guys why did you become Rivars in the first place?" Chance asked as he looks at the both of them while at the same time huddled up to stay warm felina looks at chance first as chance looks up at her.

"Well the reason for me is to help people out who can't defend themselves I don't do it for the money the smiles of satisfied and safe people makes it worthwhile than any amount of gold" felina said as the glow on her face increased as the flame grew stronger as jake threw in another log chance looks at jake with the same question in mind.

"No reason just something I needed to do thats all" Jake said coldly felina was getting upset about his answer and was about to say something ,but jake gets up and leaves and heads for the tent before she could say anything she sat down by the fire chance noticed how sad she looked he didn't want to say anything but he couldn't leave her alone so he decided to stay with her for awhile pretty soon felina looks up and begins to speak

"You know chance Its nice travelling around with you Its my first time going to gila I can't wait to see it the people the streets everything." Felina said as she begins to smile she lifts her arm up and Chance saw a bracelet on her arm it was a red stone in a shape of a pearls chance was interested in the bracelet

"Felina grabs her arms and look at her bracelet he had the look of aspiration as if the jewel was luring him in felina pulled her arm out I was wondering about that bracelet I never seen such a rare material where you get it?" Chance asked as felina grabbed her bracelet and looks down as she moves her head her hair moves to cover her face ,but chance saw that she had a sad look of grimace on her face as she looks at chance and goes into the tent chance looks at her as she runs inside

"What did I do?" Chance asked himself as he sat their near the fire as he laid down beside it and drift to sleep

Dream Sequence

Chance is running around in a dark area he can hear himself panting really hard as he continues to run he sees two figures and runs after them he looks around and sits their by himself he sees a someone looking at him. It was a women with a bloody face he knew who it was as she tries to grab chance the blood comes from her neck and she kneels over falling near chance. Chance stood their kneeling in a pool of blood he starts to cry ,but he noticed that his tears was red. Chance wakes up from his sleep it was still night time as he looks around he goes inside the tent Jake and Felina are sleeping. Chance walked in and found a space for him to rest in he kneels down and rubs his head.

"That dream it not like the other one who was that women why is this happening I don't understand" Chance thought to himself he lays down to sleep and closed his eyes

The next day chance wakes up and notices that felina and jake was gone he gets up and put on his green cape and walks outside he see them outside he walks over to them.

"Good morning guys." Chance said with a smile as Felina and Jake noticed him

"Good morning to you to Chance we found a path we can take to gila its gonna take us three days to get their , but at least its a scenic route we can take so lets go now alright" Felina said as jake and chance begins to walk among the dirt path chance was constantly thinking about felinas bracelet and how she reacted when chance was asking questions about it.

"Felina about last night I..." Chance wanted to say but felina interuppted him

"Its now of your busniess so leave it okay!" Felina yelled as she turns around

"I don't want you to think differently of me if I told you the truth chance I'm sorry" Felina thought Chance and Jake was walking all they heard was their footsteps pressing down the dirt and gravel beneath their feet they look up and say a town in the distance they were all happy to see one
