After waking up Larry and Angelina they went back to Gregor's apartment. They made sure to hide the cut so that Gregor's mother wouldn't go hysterical. Larry and Angelina were still shaky
from discovering that their friend was a born killer that killed giant rats and rode bats. There was also the fact that this was all done in an underground world according to prophecies. They
walked into the apartment and Gregor and Luxa quickly ran to his room and got him a new shirt. They ate dinner and watched T.V. (Luxa took forever ogling over the T.V.) and finally went to
bed. Angelina and Larry decided to spend the night and there wasn't enough room for everyone to sleep in Gregor's room so Ripred "innocently" suggested that Luxa sleep with Gregor in
his bed. Gregor's and Luxa's faces turned red as tomatoes and they studied their shoes. When it was time to go to bed Gregor and Luxa avoided touching each other in any way until they
finally fell asleep.

He jumped off the edge of the cliff, watching the rocks rush up to meet him. Suddenly Ares came out of nowhere and caught him. He breathed a sigh of relief and look around as he noticed
something. Luxa was still falling. He looked around in confusion. Where was Aurora?.
"NO!" he yelled as Luxa disappeared into the darkness.
He woke up drenched in sweat to see Luxa, Angelina, and Larry staring at him.
"Did you have the nightmare again?" asked Luxa.
Gregor shook his head.
"This time Ares caught me and you were falling." said Gregor.
Everyone was silent for a moment.
"Ares was that bat who died right?" asked Angelina.
She flinched as Luxa glared at her.
"What?" asked Angelina (Gregor hadn't told them that Ares was his bond).
"Ares was his bond, stupid." replied Luxa scathingly.
"So? What's the big deal with bonds anyways?" asked Larry
Luxa stared at her like she was a half-cockroach, half-rat that thought it was an ant. Then she turned around and shook her head.
"You wouldn't understand unless you had one." explained Gregor.
"I don't think i can go back to bed." remarked an uncomfortable Luxa who had realized that she was sleeping in the same bed with Gregor.
Everyone else agreed and they tiptoed into the living room to watch T.V.. After a while they just sat there watching a channel with random music videos.
She's gone away and still they stay together people call me crazy crazy
My thoughts progress, I think about forever, my mind tells me maybe maybe
I wish I could----
Gregor snatched up the controller and changed the channel. Angelina and Larry gave him odd looks.
"What was that a---." started Larry.
Angelina elbowed him in the ribs and jerked her head towards Luxa. Larry fell silent and found a channel that was showing Harry Potter And The Sorcerers Stone. They fell asleep and
woke up to see sunlight streaming through the window.

The next day was pretty much boring. Gregor showed Luxa around more of the city. Gregor showed Luxa his school and nearly cracked his ribs laughing when Luxa beat up a couple of
bullies. They fell asleep immediatly and before they knew it it was morning and time to go to the Underland.
