Chapter 3: Break

Emma POV

We finally reach the break. Every 10 or so arenas that we face we have a break arena. There are usually a few beds, some food, change of clothes, air conditioning, bathrooms, all that kind of stuff. James and I walk to our pile of supplies. This time we have new clothing I have never seen before. I have a skintight jumper that I guess is supposed to help me fly better. I look around the room at other clothing.The flames hold similar suits, but theirs are flame resistant. Lauren and Conner have the same clothes we usually have, a thirst and some comfy stretch pants.

"I have to wear this?" James holds up his suit and makes a disgusted face. "Not necessarily. You could go naked." He shoots me a look and I can't help but laugh. "You are annoying. I don't know why I like you." I nudge him playfully. "You know you love me." He puts his hands up in defeat. "You got me. I do love you." His face turns bright red. "I mean I like you. You know, like as a friend." I laugh again, trying to loosen up the mood. "Alright. I'm gonna go change." I say and step into the bathroom.

I come out in my new suit. I try flying around the room for a minute. It's so light it makes flying feel like I'm floating on a cloud. I officially like the new suit. People always ask me how I fly when I don't have wings. To be honest I don't really know, I just do. It's all in my mind, I just have to picture myself moving off the ground and I do. It took some practice at first, but now I think I've got the hang of it. I complete the totally black suit with some totally black combat boots and a totally black hair tie. Whoever put us in here really likes black. When we escape this one day, all that person is going to see is black while I punch their lights out.

Lauren taps me on the shoulder, awakening me from my daydream of punching the crap out of that horrible person. "The next door opened. You're not going to like it."
