Stuck in the Maze: Part 2

“Come on Amelia we have to leave. Annika will be fine,” Summer said, trying to reassure Amelia.

“She isn’t fine, I know it, she is in trouble.” Amelia whispered, looking Summer in the eye.

“Ok, what do we do?” Summer asked.

“Hide,” Amelia said. They ran as fast as they could to their hiding spot. “Get down,” Amelia whispered.

Summer and Amelia dove to the ground, Amelia lifted her head looking around the room. She saw in the neon light two figures, one pulling the other along, covering the second’s mouth. “Annika,” Amelia breathed. She put her hand on her invisible sword. This sword is an extraordinary piece of weaponry and magic. It is around her waist at all times but no one can see it, unless she draws it out of its sheave.

She kept her hand on the hilt, and signaled for Summer to be silent. She pulled up the pant of her jeans exposing a gun, she took it out and handed it to Summer, to give her some self defense. “Do not use it unless I tell you,” Amelia whispered and Summer nodded.

The man holdng Annika spoke, “Come out, Come out where ever you are Amelia,” he yelled. They had fallen into a trap! They didn’t want Annika they wanted Amelia!

Amelia and Summer stood up, both armed,and ready to fight. But they kept to the shadows, wanting to stay hidden. When they go out of ear shot of the man, Amelia turned around and faced Summer. “Here is the plan, you will free Annika and I will fight. Ok?”

“Ok,” Summer said. They high fived and Summer stuck to the shadows and Amelia stepped out into the open.

“Ah, so you have decided to reveal yourself,” the man said, dropping tied up Annika to the ground. “Where is your friend?”

“What’s it to you?”

“Well, I don’t just want you, I want her.”

“Why?”

“I want the set,” he said simply.

“Set of what?”

“Goddesses.”
“What?” Amelia said confused.

“The element goddesses; fire, water/ice, nature, earth, and air. I know your secret; you are the water and ice goddess, your friend Katie is the air goddess and your other friends, Maggie, Leah and Lauren are the other goddesses.”

Amelia’s brow furrowed in confusion, Katie wasn’t here. Then she realized that he thought Summer was Katie and smiled. This could be a leg up, she didn’t know how but it could. “Well she isn’t here,” Amelia declared smugly.

“She lies!” something hissed behind her.
