...The Burning Heart...

Laila reached her hand and took the necklace, but then she started losing consciousness.

" I can't hold on any longer. "

The fire was too strong that Aaron had to leave the cenote while looking furious:

- WHY ARE YOU ALONE? WHERE IS LAILA?

- I couldn't find her because of the fire.

Dylan held Aaron by his collar:

- WHAT? ARE YOU SAYING THAT YOU LEFT HER ALONE IN THERE?

- Calm down, Dylan. We will think of a way to get her out.

- ARE YOU KIDDING ME? SHE WILL DIE.

Dylan looked again at the bottom. The blue flames were getting higher and time was running out of their hands. Laila will surely drown if they don't move quickly.

- I prefer to die than see her dying.

- What do you mean?

Suddenly he jumped into the fire.

- DYLAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

He hated water the most, yet he was willing to do anything to save Laila. As soon as he dived, he caught Laila and gave her some breaths.

" Please, don't die..."

Then He took the necklace from her hand and checked it.

"The heart will burn and the body will glow. "

He tried to open it, but he couldn't...

" Damn it! Why everything is so hard to deal with? "

Suddenly, someone snatched the necklace from his hand. It was Aaron, he also jumped to save them. When he noticed that Dylan was struggling to open the necklace, he decided to do it.

He used what remained of his power and finally opened it.

There was a little stone with different colors.

Dylan pointed at the fire, so Aaron took the stone to the surface and threw it into the blue flames. The stone caught fire immediately and it turned into a big ball of blue fire.

That ball started floating in the air. At that moment the fire on the surface of the water disappeared right away.

Dylan and Aaron held Laila and went out of the water to take some breaths before drowning.

- Hah Hah Hah when...When I see Tarou, Hah I will make sure to beat him until my heart contains.

- Hah...Hah...yeah....I...I will support you. Hah...Hah...Your brother made us go through hell.

The ball of fire started getting smaller and smaller until it disappeared, then the stone fall into the water. Aaron grabbed it:

- IT TURNED BLACK!

Suddenly the water started glowing, then the cenote, then the whole place...

- When the heart burns, the body will glow.

Aaron felt powerful again, it was like the light gave him back his power

- DYLAN...HOLD TIGHT...

And in a blink of an eye, he took Dylan and Laila out of the cenote.

- Thank god...I have my power again.

- Sarra how do you feel?

- I'm stable.. what about Laila?

- She is breathing, she will be fine.

The glowing walls suddenly turned black, then it started to show hieroglyphic writing. It happened the same way as the pyramid in Egypt.

- THAT'S OUR LAST CLUE!

Dylan stood up immediately and started writing it in his notebook. After that, a map appeared...

- AND THAT'S THE LAST PLACE...

After that, everything went back to normal.

- I think we are finished, here. Let's get out of this place. it makes me suffocate.

- What about this man? Should we just leave him here?

- No, we will take him out, but I will make sure that he will pay for what he did to us...

Dylan carried Laila, while Aaron carried Rodriguez. Sarra and Annie followed from behind until they finally went out of the temple.

- I missed the sunlight...

- Yeah, it makes you feel peaceful.

Dylan put the necklace back on Rodriguez's neck.

- Do you still have that stone, Aaron?

- Yeah...

When Aaron took it out of his pocket, he noticed that it went back to normal.

Dylan took it and put it back in the necklace.

- Why are you giving it back to him?

- So he will keep searching for the rest of his life for a treasure that doesn't exist.

After a couple of hours, Rodriguez opened his eyes. He found himself surrounded by a bunch of guards.

- Sir, are you okay?

Rodriguez jumped from his place while looking around:

- WHERE ARE THEY? WHERE IS MY TREASURE?

- What are you talking about?

- THE PEOPLE THAT I WAS WITH THEM?

- There is no one here except you.

Rodriguez noticed the necklace on his neck. at that moment he realized that Dylan and the rest left after taking what they want. He became so angry and started yelling.

- NO, HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN TO ME AGAIN? I WAS TOO CLOSE THIS TIME. I...I MUST GO IN THERE.

He tried to climb the temple, but the guards prevented him.

- This man is crazy, call the police to handle him.

Meanwhile, Dylan, Laila, Aaron, Sarra, and Annie were riding the bus to the airport.

- Sarra, is your wound any better?

- Yeah, I managed to take out the bullet. it will heal fast, don't worry.

- What happened today was so dangerous. Any one of us could die in there.

- Yeah...By the way, what did happen between you and Rodriguez exactly?
