Dark Everglades: The Rising Sun [BOOK ONE] {BEING RE-WRITTEN}

Arina

"A... Race?"  Liam questions.

"A race!" Alex yells, quickly being silenced by Carter.

"We can't have a race, that will be too loud."

"It would be faster," I counter as we continue to walk down the large train tracks of the A train.

Carter grumbles a bit, rolling his eyes. "Alright. Fine. But just to the end of the tracks to Tenalith, understand? And no noise."

I shrug, smirking evilly as I slowly transform into a cheetah.

"Arina! The cameras!" Ethan whispers to me and I growl in response.

"We're already fugitives," Alex says, shrugging and Ethan let's out a sigh.

"I don't really have any powers of my own."

"Of course you do! You're a Roplana!" Alex continues and Ethan doesn't respond.

"Having some control issues I'm guessing?" Liam asks and Ethan still doesn't respond as we walk slowly down the tracks.

I growl again impatiently and Alex jumps a bit. "Give me my wings back! I can just carry you!"

Ethan still doesn't respond and Liam tilts his head. "Have you tried to control your power?"

Ethan huffs out a laugh. "More times then you think."

I shake my head, going into a slow trot. I need to get some air, and I need to run. Let me run!

"You showed a lot of control when you made all of the fairies," Alex pipes in and I slow down again, turning my head around to look at them.

Ethan shrugs, annoyance on his face. "It was only the one time. If I'm not careful, I can freeze the whole train tracks and we'll all be dead."

Carter grimaces. "He's right."

"Dang it," Alex whispers and I slowly transform back into my human form.

"You guys are no fun."
           ***
Silent hour is almost finished with, ten minutes until the cities are full again and we aren't even at Tenalith yet.

"We have a problem..." I whisper and Carter doesn't respond.

"How long is this track?" I ask him again, walking up next to him and he tenses.

"We aren't far. Just a little farther."

"Are you sure we'll make it?" Alex asks nervously, her usually happy self slowly fading.

Carter hesitates. "The fates will tell us."

I suddenly stop, facing the left and staring at a motorcycle.

"What is it?" Liam asks, coming up next to me and everyone else stops as well.

"How about we travel by motorcycle?" I ask and Carter growls.

"We aren't stealing a motorcycle Arina-"

"I didn't say steal. We will merrily... Borrow it."

He squints his eyes and Alex shrugs. "I like that idea."

"Of course you do."

"What happens if we get caught? I mean... These Cidediens are pretty protective if i'm not mistaken..." Ethan mumbles and I tilt my head.

"I'm sure they won't mind."

"We don't have enough time to get down, steal the bike and be off," Carter protests and I squint my eyes.
