"Are you sure ,you heard about someone in Arachna castle might know were he is?",I asked screaming over the wind.

"Yes,"she replied with strain in her voice.

"Let's land,"I said

We stopped outside a forest by a town so Matilda could rest even though she didn't want to admit she was tired.

The town was small but was a big lake with little mountains on top, especially one in the middle of the lake. Town seemed calm and happy... too calm and happy of what I have experienced these last two days.

"I am going to scout a little bit ,but you stay here Matilda,"I said to my friend,"I mean it.

I went around the edges of the forest looking for anything suspicious, but no such thing.

I returned, thankfully Matilda was still there.

"Anything,"she asked.

"Nope,"I replied.

"I found something, and I think it might be yours," she said.

"You ..Matilda I told you to stay put,you need rest!"I exclaimed.

"I know but I wasn't just going to sit around so I looked around and I found this," she said showing me a pink backpack with a name on it Kina Steel.

I went looking through it, nothing had been touched.I had my phone and laptop(useless know there is no Wi-fi and telephone towers or lines here),some food now rotten, some little scraps of metal for me to play with, a letter,and a small black box. I opened the box to see if the stuff was still in there. I found my clip and necklace that was in there and meant so much to me.

My clip was a pink gem shaped like a spider with the clip being black. The clip was the last thing my grandpa ever gave to me. The last gift he gave besides Hunter's headband.

Then I looked at the other thing in the box. A pink heart shaped necklace with a black heart inside it. Hunter had given me it for our birthday,before he went off on his adventure. Each heart was a locket with a picture inside ,so I could hold 4 pictures.

First one was just me just a year ago, and right beside that picture was me Hunter and I ,soon after that birthday party. If I ever saw that smile he smiled I don't know weather to punch him or hug him, probably both. The next heart had a picture of my mom and dad before they died. The next was Grandpa,Hunter and I a month before Grandpa died.

"I nearly forgot about this," I whispered.

I took my hair out from behind my ear and put the clip in my hair so the hair behind my ear stayed out of my eyes. Then I put my necklace on my neck to never forget what I was doing here.

"I'll see where we are and try to get some food,"I said to Matilda after I got over that moment,"In an hour I will come back and get you and head on our way to Arachna castle."

"No"

"Matilda I know you want to come but you can't. First you are tired and need rest ,and second you would cause too much attention,"I said.

I knew she wanted to come along but I needed to protect her as she had protected me for the last 36 hours.

"There might be a way that I can go with you and not been seen or known,"she said.

"Okay but how. That is again the last two days have been impossible in my book,"I said.

"I only know a little about manacles and I have also heard rumors and stories about them,"she said,"But raise your manacle and say Matilda, spider in and I should go into manacle space if I am your partner."

"If,"I said.

Matilda just stared at me.

"Okay here goes nothing,I said," Matilda spider in."

Suddenly, Matilda became a pink orb of light and flew into my manacle.

"Matilda are you there,"I asked.

"Yes,"replied her voice from my something donged on me.

"You say the spider riders are hero and...well if someone sees with the manacle won't I still cause attention,"I asked.

Matilda thought for a second and said,"I heard a rumor about this,but say manacle in and it should hide itself."

"Well ,it is worth a shot,"I said, "Manacle in."

The manacle I was wearing became the bracelet I had found in the woods in a matter of seconds.

"Okay Matilda lets go."


When I got into town, it was full of were every, playing and and women were at stands selling everything you could imagine,cloth, furniture, perfume and food.

"Hello,"said a young voice behind me.

I turned around to see two girls. One in a green shirt and a short brown skirt. The other in a purple long sleeve shirt and a long pink skirt. Both of the girls had a maroon and white stash.

"Hello,"I replied.

"You look tired and hungry, let us help you," said the green shirt girl.

"I'm fine," I said, lying.

"It's fine,said the girl in the green shirt trying to drag me along.

I put my left hand near my ear to here Matilda's opinion.

"Kina, you need food and if something happens I can save you,"said Matilda.

I touched my necklace and thought for a second,"what would Hunter want me to do," I thought.

"Fine,but only for a while I have to do something," I said to the two girls,"but I never caught your names."

"Our names are Sena and Mina," they said," sisters of the famous spider rider Corona."

"My name is Kina, now you said you wanted to help me,"I said teasingly.

And we walked together as new friends.
