Double Rematch

Dan headed for the exit and the rest of the team soon followed. I stayed behind and knelt beside the spring of crystal clear water. I rummaged in my backpack and pulled out an empty water bottle. I dipped it into the spring and waited for it to fill. I had a feeling that we wouldn't be coming back here and even if it wasn't much the water could still heal Dan alittle. Once it filled I stowed it in my pack and rushed to catch up with the others.

The others were standing at the entrance of the cave, weapons drawn. I looked out and my jaw dropped. Twenty yards from the shore were two sea serpents... the same ones that attacked our giant turtle. Riding on their heads were a couple of Burning Sun members.

Nolan inhailed sharply. "What's wrong Nolan?" I asked.

"Those guys were back at Notre Dame!" He exclaimed. "I got in a fight with them but they... uh got away."

He was definatly lying but I wasn't really conserned about that. The serpents were moving closer and with the Burning Sun members holding makeshift reins to control them.
