... Eating Fire...

Laila jumped into the cenote to save Dylan. Despite that it was too high, she didn't care about that. All she was thinking about was saving her lover.

When she jumped, she dived immediately to look for him. He was heading to the bottom while unconscious. Fortunately, she reached him before he drowns. She grabbed his hand and took him to the surface.

- DYLAN! CAN YOU HEAR ME? PLEASE, DYLAN, OPEN YOUR EYES...

At that moment Aaron came to help them. He couldn't move as usual because as much as he stays in that place, his power kept decreasing.

- WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?

- I...I don't know. Take him out, immediately.

- What about you? I can't take both of you.

- It's okay, I can wait. Just save him...

Aaron took Dylan out of the cenote and tried to wake him up.

- DYLAN, WAKE UP...DYLAN!...WHY ISN'T HE MOVING?

Sarra got closer to him and checked his breath

- Thank god, he is breathing.

Aaron shook him until he woke up.

- COUGH..COUGH

- Dylan, are you okay?

Dylan tried to stand up:

- COUGH.....Rod...Rodriguez...COUGH

- Don't worry, I knocked him down.

Dylan looked around while looking worried, and then he saw Rodriguez laying on the ground unconscious. At that moment, he remembered that he snatched the necklace from his neck.

- WHERE IS THE NECKLACE?

- It was in your hand when you fell!

- We must get it back!

- Why?

- That necklace is the key to the next clue

- What are you saying?

- There is a missing piece of the clue that we didn't find when we were in China.

- How can that be possible?

- I will tell you everything, but before where is it?

- I think it was dropped in the water.

Dylan took a look and then he saw Laila swimming in the cenote.

- LAILA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE?

- She followed us along with Annie, and she threw herself in the water to save you.

- REALLY?

- Yeah...Now, how are we going to get it? I don't think I can dive without Sarra's magic...Maybe, Laila can do it.

Dylan felt worried about Laila, he didn't know what will happen next.

- I'm not sure about that, she is a human and she can't protect herself if anything happens.

- We don't have another choice, Sarra is injured and I lost most of my powers...

After convincing Dylan, Aaron talked to Laila:

- LAILA, CAN YOU SEARCH FOR A NECKLACE THAT DYLAN DROPPED THERE?

- ALRIGHT, I WILL TRY...

Laila dove into the water and tried to find the necklace, but the bottom was too dark.

- I COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING, YOU MUST GIVE ME SOME LIGHT...

- Sarra is so weak, she can't use her magic. I will light some fire for you.

Aaron looked around for a wooden then he set it on fire.

Dylan was watching while feeling so uncomfortable about what was going on.

- I don't like this.

- It's okay, if anything happens, I will use what remains of my power to interfere.

Aaron got closer to the surface of the water while holding the fire torch.

- How about this?

- The bottom became kind of visible. I will try to look for it again.

Laila dived again and started looking for the necklace.

" Where is Aramis? He is always nearby. Maybe he couldn't find the way to this secret place. I must look for that necklace on my own.

She went to the surface and take a breath, then she dives again and again. Aaron put the torch right above the water's surface while Dylan was recalling the clue and tried to understand it.

" When you eat fire and the fire eats you! What's that supposed to mean? How can someone eat fire?... Unless it is not referring to a person! Then, which thing will eat the fire and the fire will eat it, at the same time? "

Dylan took a closer look at the cenote, after that, he stood up and walked back slowly. Suddenly, he froze and his face turned so pale.

Sarra noticed that.

- What's wrong, Dylan?

- The...The cenote...It...It has the shape of a mouth!

Dylan realized that the cenote is the thing that will eat fire

- Laila is in there!

He immediately ran back and yelled:

- AARON! TAKE THAT FIRE OUT OF THAT PLACE, RIGHT NOW!

Dylan's sudden scream made Aaron confused.

- What is happening?

Unconsciously, Aaron's hand got closer to the water and then the fire touched the surface. And in a blink of an eye, the fire spread on the whole surface while Laila was still underwater.

- NO...LAILA BECAME STRAPPED!

Aaron stepped back while looking shocked:

- What did happen here?

As for Laila, she panicked as well when she saw that fire. She won't be able to take back her breaths and she will soon drown.

While she was struggling, she noticed that the huge fire lightened up the whole bottom, and made the necklace shine.

" I found it! "

Though she was at her limit, she decided to take it. She dived deep despite that she was suffocating. Finally, she could reach it, but then she started losing her consciousness.

" Is this my end?"
