Hi, Please I beg you Review. Pwease? (Sad puppy dog eyes) Only a short one today guys XOX

Gregor felt absolutely hideous as Solovet began to chase him. He lent close to his bonds black fur, hoping Ares could get them out of here alive. Gregor risked a look back and saw Solovets red-ish bat Manissa, was gaining on Nike. Nike was flapping her wings so fast; she seemed to be slowing down with exhaustion. No, she couldn't. If Nike stopped, Solovet would get Hazard and Boots!

"Nike! Hurry up" Gregor called helplessly, as the flyer looked worriedly over her shoulder to see how far Solovet was. Two metres behind Nike was a determined Solovet who squinted at Gregor, promising revenge. As it turned out, she needn't not wait too long. She came up side to side with Nike, drawing her sword. "No!" Gregor screamed. Then everything seemed to happen in a blur. With her sword, she cut a great Gash in Nike's right wing, about 300 centimetres long. She howled in pain and spiralled to the ground. At the same time, Solovets spare hand had grabbed Hazards clothes by the shoulder and hauled him on her bat. That left Boots, screaming "Me!"as she fell with Nike. Luckily, Ares was already diving towards her as Gregor was trying to make sense of what happened. Ares had his claws around her small body as she giggled. However he couldn't get to Nike in time as she plummeted into to River. "Nike!" Gregor Yelled after her, but he was too late. He spun back to Solovet who had mysteriously disappeared.

"I will find you Gregor the Overlander, Always! Mark my words." He heard her but he could not see her. And soon he knew, he was all alone again, without Nike, and without Hazard. Oh Luxa would never forgive him, even if he did find her.

"Overlander!" snapped a voice, but thankfully not Solovets. Gregor peered over Ares' shoulder to see Ripred coming to.

"YOU are coming? You? I thought you did not like Luxa?" said Gregor taken by surprise. Ripred did not enjoy the limelight, especially if it meant explaining why he was going to save the queen.

"She owes me! And if she is held hostage how will she ever repay me? Besides you wouldn't last ten minutes without me!" called Ripred.

"He's right," said another voice on his left, which made Gregor almost topple off his Bat. It was Vikus with Temp, and Mareth close behind him with boots. "Hazard," He choked trying to explain to the others to find him. "Solovet took Hazard!" Mareth and Vikus exchanged glances.

"Gregor, there is nothing we can do. It is most likely she has taken him to a cell outside Regalia." Gregor couldn't believe his ears.

"You mean he's Solovets prisoner?"

"Solovet, proof no have, proof" said Temp and he was right. Gregor could see her clod eyes in his minds eye.

"You don't think that both kidnappings are linked do you." He asked bewildered.

"No," said Mareth "Hazard was taken to get to you, Gregor."

Someone coughed to his right, startled, he turned to see Howard, Luxa's cousin on his right.

"Nerissa has fallen ill, fatally ill." Howard declared and everyone was silent and a plan erupted in Gregors mind. Of course. Solovet kidnapped Luxa, so she could be queen. Then Hazard because Luxa had more relation with him than any other cousin. Howard refused to be king and now Nerissa is too ill to be queen. So Solovet wants the throne . . . apparently. But that how it seems. By the looks on everyone else's faces they were thinking the same thing.

"No," Vikus muttered "This can not be Solovets actions." He felt quite sorry for Vikus. He imagined that Vikus would be feeling exactly what Luxa felt when she had learned Henry had betrayed her, sided with the rats.

"Perhaps we should camp!" called Ripred from far below. Poor creature, Gregor had completely forgotten he was there. "No Wait!" He yelled suddenly alarmed. He skidded to a halt.

"Gnawers. Seven." Said Ripred. Mareth volunteered to check it out alone and nobody stopped him.

Five minutes had passed and All Flyers and riders had landed upon waiting for Mareth's return. He came back pale.

"Seven rats he confirmed." All eyes were fixed on him. " But they were bickering. Bickering over Luxa's crown."
