She lowered her gaze to the ground, putting one foot in front of the other. The corridor began to angle upward toward the light of the arena. Each step moved her closer to the light until she was walking in the full heat of the sun blasting through twenty-foot-tall iron gates that opened on the arena’s killing field. Captured warriors were already packed tight up against the gate, quiet, sweating, and anxious to begin what could be the last fight of their lives. Ava and her cellmates stood along the back of the crowd. The two Ahasazi from her cell looked at her and the Ronin woman. “When the gates open, we run for the wagon to get our weapons,” said one. The other added, “Do whatever you have to do to get there, because without weapons, we’re dead.” Ava nodded. She closed her eyes, filled her lungs with a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly. Then she opened her eyes, waiting for the gate to be unlocked. Raising on her toes, she looked over the heads of the warriors, focusing on the gate across the arena. Beau was pressed against it, along with Cole. She lowered off her toes and rolled her neck, cracking vertebrae. The gate screeched open. She stuck close to the Ronin woman and the two Ahsazi warriors shoving their way forward. A bearded warrior on her right took exception to being shoved and whirled, throwing a punch at her. She slipped under it, kneed him in the groin, and kept moving, accelerating into a sprint toward a wagon piled with weapons in the middle of the arena. BUY LINKS: |
