CHAPTER FIVE
Blizzard sat on a shaded bench under a ramada in Dust Devil Park, fanning her sweating face. Although the morning wasn’t even over yet, the heat from the sun above was still brutal, reminding Blizzard why she had been so eager to leave Phoenix when Mecha Knight had visited her house nearly a year ago now. She had managed to hold up pretty well up until they entered the park, but then the heat became too much for her and she had to sit down under this shaded ramada. But even underneath the ramada, it was still far warmer than what Blizzard preferred.
“Are you okay, Emily?” said Bolt. He stood next to her and, unlike her, didn’t seem very badly affected by the heat; however, he was looking down at her with concern. “Do you need to go back to your parents’ house and cool down?”
