Let's Roll Out, Mate! [BOOK 1]

CHAPTER 19: OUT OF THE FRYING PAN, PULLING A MIKO......UNINTENTIONALLY (2)

Evelyn's p.o.v

As I stepped inside the groundbridge alongside my two mates, Jack and Raf, my world turned into a tunnel of green light. It reminded me of the aurora lights I heard about in the Arctic.

My heart was pounding against my chest like a savage starving tiger begging to be let out and I felt like I had an iron ball of a lump in my throat. I was terrified and at the same time, kinda excited. But I had to focus on the mission. Priorities Eve, priorities.

And right now, priority number one is to find my cousin, Miko and get the he!l out of there ASAP.

We hopped out of the groundbridge and the moment my feet were back on solid ground, I staggered a bit. My knees felt weak and I felt a small sense of nausea overcome me. Jack helped steady me.

"Yo-you ok?" he asked. I noticed that his body seemed to be a bit shaky too.

"D-do you guys feel your bones vibrating?" I asked them as I hugged myself and rubbed my arms to get more feeling back into them.

"Yeah, it'll...take some time to get used to." Raf said.

I blanched a bit and covered my mouth as I felt last night's dinner come up to my throat briefly before I managed to swallow it. "I feel like I might lose the dinner I had last night." My stomach released another growl. "And the night before." I added.

Once we all overcame the nausea, we gathered our bearings. I noticed we were in a narrow tunnel. The roof was just high enough for Jack and me to stand straight but it was still cramped and I felt a small sense of claustrophobia, I didn't have it per se but that didn't mean I like tight places.

"Wait, there's something on the gun." Jack said. I noticed he said 'the gun' rather than 'my gun'. Looks like he wasn't that assured even with a gun by his side. He wasn't exactly comfortable with being in possession of one either.

Jack took three pieces off the gun. They were tiny and circular and okay, is that a loose screw or something? We all leaned forward and squinted our eyes to get a better look. It was even tinier than the fingernail on my pinkie!
