(3) Fire Glen

Chapter 7

Jake's POV:

I walked away...fast. I couldn't tell him. If I did, he too would be in danger. I need to find Rio. I frantically looked around, for her. I finally fond her, talking to Quattro. I ran over to her.

"Hey Jake! So how did you like our last duel?"

"Rio, I need to talk to you."

"Ok, I'll see you later Rio!"

Quattro walked away, looking at me.

"Jake what's wrong?"

"You need to get out of here."

I grabbed her hand, and started dragging her.

"What!"

She let go.

"What about the tournament?"

"Forget about the tournament!"

I looked at her.

"Rio, you're in grave danger."

She stared at me.

"I'm not leaving."

I looked at the clock. It was almost time. I need to find Trey.

I looked back at Rio.

"Someone wants your gem stone."

Again, she stared at me.

"Rio, please!"

I was desperate.

"Fine."

I grabbed her hand, and started running. There was still some time left. If we hurry-

"Where is she?!"

"I don't know, who you're talking about!"

Oh no. I stopped.

"Jake what's wrong?"

We need to get out of here.

"Rio, Jake!"

We turned around.

"Keep your voice down!" I whispered.

Trey stared at me. I grabbed his wrist.

"Come on."

"We are going?" he asked.

"Any where but here."

"What about Quattro?" Rio asked.

Shoot. I dragged them, to the locker room.

"Hide in here."

"Jake what's going on?" Rio asked.

"I'll explain later, right now you need to hide."

Suddenly the door flew opened.
