"So, where exactly am I?" Nico asked. "Are there any good sightseeing places?"
Alvar entered, shocked.
"You've been kidnapped and you're asking about sightseeing?"
Lady Gisela came in.
"Just like Keefe. If you must know, we're in Italy, a country in the Forbidden Cities. It's a beautiful place. Also, grab him. We're going to the other hideout in Rome."
Nico's eyes widened as Alvar grabbed him.
My summer home was there.
Where are you Nico?
Heading to Rome, Italy.
Looks like today's your lucky day.
Lucky?! I got kidnapped!
Okay, you're a lucky one. And at least you can sightsee.
"We're going to the Colosseum. So many deaths there..."
Colosseum.
Weren't you trapped under there?
...
Sorry sorry. I'm so sorry. But you know your way, right?
Yeah...
Nico watched as they entered the trapdoor that led under the Colosseum. They entered the nymphaeum. Nico gulped as they walked across it. Right, the nymphs had been cleansed. They entered the huge chamber. Alvar dropped Nico who fell onto the floor. He looked at the huge bronze jar.
"We could stick him in there and just keep the lid off."
Nico's eyes widened.
"Hey, why are there marks on the inside. There are 10 of them. That means whoever was last trapped in here survived 10 days? No way. Humans can't hold their breath for that long."
Nico bit his tongue. Suddenly, Lady Gisela grabbed him and threw him in there. Nico looked around, panicked. He saw the hash marks and touched them. He leaned against the wall, his head raised towards the roof where air was coming from. He looked down and saw the pomegranate seeds.
"Now, what to do now?"
----------------
"He's in Rome!" Hecate went to Magnate Leto.
"How do you know?"
"We have this little communication device and he recorded what one of his kidnappers said."
"I see. May I see the device?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Yes."
She showed him a black rectangle. She pressed a button and Lady Gisela's voice could be heard.
"We're going to the Colosseum. So many deaths there..."
Magnate Leto nodded.
"I'll see what i can do."
Little did they know, there were a few eaves droppers.
"The Colosseum?" Tam asked.
"It's in Rome, Italy. A really nice place. But in the Colosseum, gladiators had fought to death to try and get free since people kept them as slaves."
"I've been to Venice before. It was when I was searching for you." He looked at Sophie.
Tam rolled his eyes.
