CHAPTER NINETEEN OF DOOM
Rod knocked open a door. He, Rune, and Aqua peered within.

"Rod! Aqua!" a voice inside called. "Don't come in here, it's a trap!"

"I don't care, Dana," Aqua said. "You're one of us. The Legacies of the Gods were formed to protect one another and we're not going to let you stay in harm's way."

They walked further inside and the door shut behind them. A loud clank of a lock told them that all exits were sealed. The room was solid iron without any marks or weak points on any walls. In the far back of the room, chained to the wall, was a girl. She had red hair and wore a navy shirt with a black skirt and long black socks. Rune couldn't see her face, since her head was down, and there was a pile of broken glass at her feet.

"So you're Dana?" Rune asked.

Aqua nodded. "Dana Peroll, legacy of Apollo. How did Louis and Jack capture you?"

"Louis is a demigod," Dana said, acid in the last word. "A son of Morpheus. He trapped me in a nightmare when I tried fighting him off. When I woke up, I was here."

"Whoa, and you haven't left since?" Rune asked. "But... Rod, how long was Dana gone for?"

"About three weeks," Rod said grimly.

"Aqua, Rod... who's the kid?" Dana asked.

"Devon H. Rune," Rune said. "Son of Melinoe."

Dana's head shot up. "You're a demigod? Rod, Aqua, why are you working with someone like him?"

"He had a tool we were able to use to find you," Aqua said. "Also, Louis is the bigger threat right now. Plus, you know that I have no problem working with demigods in and of itself."

"Does it matter?" Rune asked. "We're all stuck here and we've got to get out. Let's start by getting you out of your chains."

"Don't touch me," Dana said to Rune.

Rod walked up to her and pulled on the chains until they snapped. Dana, now freed, walked over to Aqua.

"This may hurt," Aqua warned. She touched the iron cuffs around Dana's wrists and they snapped off.

"Now we just have to leave," Rod said. He started punching at the walls. To Rune's impressment, the iron was actually starting to dent.

"Can we leave this one here?" Dana asked, pointing her thumb at Rune.

"Perhaps later," Aqua said.
