Emma's P.O.V
I tried looking for an exit because I had to get out and quick. I wasn't going to leave Anika out there alone. I ran to each side of the small room looking for any panel or hatch that looks like an exit. My palms were sweaty and my grip around the book increased. I found a little corner that had a hatch with a lever. I tried pulling the lever but it wouldn't budge. My hands were all sweaty and I was a nervous wreck. I finally got it after a million tries. The hatch opened with a loud squeak. I got out and ran as fast as a sloth. I was slow mostly because I had no energy from opening that hatch. When I reached the ball room with the fake relic I saw something moving, but my vision was blurry. I got close and closer until, BANG. I slammed right into the movement. It was a girl but it wasn't any girl it was Anika.
Ouch"I looked up trying to signal Anika.
She glanced up at me with confusion. "Emma what are you doing here"
Instead of replying I stood up and help Anika so we could keep moving "we need to get out of here I see two men coming close to us and I don't feel like getting captured today"
She searched for the door then directed which way to go "quick down there"
I looked at what she was staring at and followed. "Let's get running then" then I dashed off trying to shake off the sweat.
We got to the hall and ran with all the energy me and Anika had left. The boys were gaining on us and they weren't playing like old times. I still wondered why my dad would do this to his own daughters. He knew it would weaken us and wouldn't hurt the boys. I know why he did it. He did it because he wanted the power, the glory. He was going to kill us and my mom then leave the boys to die. He choose them because our dad knew we would never hurt them. I also have hated him and I will never like him.
"Hey Emma are you ok" Anika stops and looks at me.
I try to grab her hand so we can keep moving again "don't stop moving and yes I am perfectly fine"
Anika wipes off her sweat and we start running again "you just looked deep in thought."
I try look at her then realize the boys might be right behind us. I risk a quick glance but they were nowhere to be seen. I completely stop "Anika where are the boys"
She looks back and immediately stop with a worried look "um Emma we might just have trapped ourselves"
I slowly started a walk "maybe they had to take a breath"
Anika sped up, forcing me to run faster.
