Trying to escape

"Stop arguing." Kiros stated, but they didn’t listen to her.

"Stop!!!" she yelled, and they both turned to her.

"You guys are acting like babies, let’s go." She said and started walking away. Lucinda stuck out her tongue at Ralph and followed Kiros. Ralph followed them and looked back when he saw Apedes and the king running towards them. The king was holding his crown as they were running towards them with a stick. Ralph opened his eyes wide.

"Kiros, your dad and Apedes are coming." He stated and Kiros stopped.

"What do you mean they are coming? That can’t be possible, they are still in the Kingdom." She whined.

"Stop talking and look." Ralph said, and she turned and eyed them. They were 5 miles away from them. They were running at great speed, making dust.

"Let’s go." Kiros said and started running with Lucinda.

"We can’t run forever, do you have, somewhere we can go?" Ralph asked, running after her.

"I don’t have anywhere we can go, but I have an air balloon that can take you to wherever you want to go." she beamed.

"Then take us there." Ralph said, and she started running towards a mountain. They both followed her.

Apedes and the king stopped in the place where Ralph and Lucinda rested and started to catch their breath.

"Where do we start looking for them now?" Apedes said, panting.

"We need to continue moving so we don’t lose them." The king said, walking away, and Apedes joined him.

"We can’t let them escape; they are our key to freedom." Apedes added.

Kiros arrived in front of the mountain and halted. She started catching her breath, as did Lucinda and Ralph.

"So where is the balloon?" Ralph asked out of the blue.

"It’s over here." She said, and looked around the mountain. She began to move her hand in the wall, pushed a stone, and a small passage opened, allowing her to bend down and walk into the mountain.

"Where is she taking us? Are you sure she is not playing mind games with us?" Lucinda inquired, staring at Ralph.

"I don’t think so, she just trying to help." He said.

"Come!!" they heard Kiros's voice from the inside and walked into the mountain.

Ralph nearly stepped on lava when Lucinda dragged him back. And they started running over the lava through the stones that were on top of it.

Kiros was ahead of them as she was already on the other side of the mountain.

"Is the air balloon on this mountain?" Lucinda asked bluntly.

"No it isn't, but outside, this is just a passage." She assured and they heard a loud noise coming from outside the mountain.

"I think they have found us, come with me, hurry up!!" Kiros yelled and started leading them outside the mountain.  Through a big hole in the wall that light was coming in from, she passed through the hole, and Lucinda put her leg through the hole trying to walk through it. Ralph stood behind her.
