The first attack (On Hold)

Chapter 13: To the temple

A/N I forgot to post yesterday. Here you go.

We said goodbye to grandma, through the floor, took our bags and went to the car. It was a black car, making us stand out less in the night.

I opened the door and sat down on the driver's seat. This car was a little different from the other one I drive before we crashed. It took a while to get used to it.

We drove in silence. The enormosity of what we heard from grandma slowly sunk in as we drived. I still felt as if my brain would explode from the information.

We had to save the world! We didn't even have sauperpowers. Just the book grandma gave us.

I continued driving. Filippa was helping me with the map. She had good grades in geography and was good with navigation and that kind of stuff.

My driving was getting better so I could look on the map or nature once in a while.

I looked on the map again and Filippa showed me where we were. We had about 2 hours left of driving. Some forest, then grass fields, a lake and more forest.

"Since this will be a long ride, do you want to talk about something?" I asked Filippa

"Yeah, I still need more time to think about the information we got though." She answered me " And I don't know what we can talk about."

"What about school?" I said after thinking a while "or maybe we can play a game"

"What game?" She asked, as I expected.

"There are many. There is one where a person finds a thing, a tree for example, and then asks ' who sees a tree?' And the others must find it." I told her "what do you think about that?"

"Ok, but you need to be careful. You are the driver and we can't lose this car."

                          * * *

We continued to play the game and talk about different thinga until we drove out of the last forest before the temple.

The temple was very big. It looked like on of those mayan structures. It was made of some kind of stone and there were vines and moss growing on it. We were still 7 minutes away and it was already big. I wondered how big it would be up close.

The temple seemed bigger and bigger, as we got closer. When we arrived, I couldn't believe my eyes, it was so big.

We exited the car, took our things and the book and went inside. It was shaped as a pyramid. On the inside, the walls looked like stairs and the space became smaller and smaller closer to the top. Instead of the roof, there was a hole where we could see the sky and the sun shining down. It wasn't much left until sunset.

I the middle of the temple, under the hole in the roof, there was a stone about 4 feet high.it had a circular shape in the top and there was an image of a book drawn on it.

"This is it, this is where we put the book." I said to Filippa, she was right behind me so she probably saw it too.

"I think we should hide our bags, or take them with us and find a good hiding place for ourselves." Said Filippa

" I agree" I told her quickly as we were exiting the temple.

                          * * *

There were very tall trees surrounding the temple. A lot of it was still visible, but some parts were hidden.

We found a place on top of the temple where we settled down. Some branches were even touching the temple.

When I suggested we climb those branches and sit on the tree, she didn't protest. So we moved our things to a good place on the closest tree and sat down on our branches.

We watched the sunset and it was really beutiful. Sitting on the tree, looking at the suna and how it illuminates the temple. It was the best sunset I had ever watched.

We decided to go down and place the book when I saw two Kaechis standing on each side of the temple. They were watching so that nobody could go in. And we needed to place the book there. Things did not look good for us.

We sat there for several minutes. And then an idea popped up in my head. I told Filippa what it was and we decided to do it.

We had a plan. And we had a chance.
