The Westbrook Games Oldies game
If this was some funky oldies movie like the ones Jay liked to watch, Clay might have immediately began a monologue on how her parents had trained her since the tender age of two on the several ways to put a man to sleep but if the sting from the scratch that the purple haired girl had given her earlier was any indication, then this was definitely not a movie and there was definitely no CGI or Visual effects in place.So, she instead chose to roll her eyes at Juan's unbecoming question before she gestured for them to move and watched as they moved further away from the door and then she moved too.She turned around once more to find Juan."Get your sister's body out of there and leave very fast, I don't know how effective the chloroform was and how long it is going to last for",She said to him,also exposing what she had used and cancelling out the need to know 'who she was'.Juan nodded briefly at her and turned around to his men, he began to talk in Spanish while the men nodded, givi
The Westbrook Games Child doctor
Clay and the others continued to walk with Jared and Saul ahead while Clay and June walked far behind them with June leaning on to Clay as they walked.Clay could not get her mind off what had happened earlier.Luckily,the siren had distorted everything so that the others did not hear what he had said or she hoped that they had not heard.Why did Juan think she was a Westbrooke?No, that was not the right question for now especially since she was technically a Westbrooke.The real question had to be,how he knew that she was associated with Westbrookes.If someone had met one of the Westbrookes,either James or any of her father's two brothers, Thomas and Simeon, then it would be highly possible they thought she was a Westbrooke too.Clay bit her lip hard,she should have corrected Juan immediately but she had not and Juan had only seen her with a shocked expression that he would assume as an expression of guilt.If he had been trying to confirm something he was not sure of,he had defini
The Westbrook Games Tommy and Jade
TOMMYTommy jiggled the door and the key hole of his house door until the key fit into it and opened up for him.He walked in and took off his shoes as soon as she was in the house, grunting softly as they came off .Working was hard, working after taking a long break was harder, working after taking a long break and suffering from severe social anxiety was even harder and all he wanted to do was quit and stay home like he was used to but he had a purpose so there was no room for failure or quitting halfway.Without switching on the lights, he headed straight for the kitchen and opened the fridge door to find something to show down.The light from the fridge enabled him to see the jug that was full of the lemonade that he and Jade had made before he went to work.He filled his glass and drained it without pause before filling it again but this time, he was only able to drink about half of the glass before he was satisfied and sighing contentedly.He closed the fridge and switched on t
The Westbrook Games The timing
Saul threw the church doors open wider as soon as he saw Clay approach with an unconscious June in her arms.Clay hurried up the stairs, through the door and into the church to Jared's surprise when he turned around , he had walked into the church first and had not noticed what was going on behind him.He rushed up after them, his sack never leaving his grasp as he led the way towards Clay's room, clearing the path for them as they ran.Other than the fact that June was unconscious,he still could not wrap his head around the fact that Clay was carrying June, especially when she was the same size as June,just a tad bit taller.Clay had a slight issue climbing the stairs up the altar but it was quickly remedied when Saul gave her a shove from behind that had her going up the stairs fast as lightening.Jared had gone ahead of them and had the door pushed open already so Clay carried her through and gently placed her on the bed.She touched her forehead immediately she had lain her down,
The Westbrook Games The push!
They were all looking at Clay weirdly now and Clay did not know why.No,she did know why but she did not think that it deserved such attention,she shrugged and rolled her eyes, turning to Saul,she grimaced as soon as she did so, wishing she had never done so. Saul still continued to gorge himself on chocolate as he watched everything unfold.Jared suddenly grabbed Clay's hands, causing Clay to turn to him involuntarily as he was practically dragging her.Clay begrudgingly did, only to find Jared's eyebrows dancing on his face,a mischievous look about his face."What is your problem? Do you have face paralysis or something?",She asked, groaning as she wondered what the issue was now.Jared only chuckled as he continued his stupidity, he eventually cleared his throat slowly when he realized that Clay had no idea of what he was doing,or may be she was just a really good pretender."Ahahah,We all heard your confession loud and clear, there is no denial now",he told her, acting like they
The Westbrook Games Hands where?
After a short while of speculation on their part and utter silence from Saul,he finally finished drawing.The map was finally ready and they all stared at it, admiring Saul's penmanship from the names he had marked some spots with.Saul had left out all of the places that they had no idea about, marking them with a large X that also seemed like some pretty cursive depictions.The area for the shopping mall was not centered in particular because they had been unable to figure out the exact location of it but at least they knew the general area around it and were sure that it would be a piece of cake from there.When they got there, they could begin their search for it.Jared finally broke the silence that had first stemmed from their awe of Saul's work and had eventually gone on as they all tried to think of what they might encounter today."When do we leave? At night?",He asked as he looked up at both of their faces.Saul turned towards Jared and scoffed like Jared had said something
The Westbrook Games The responsibility game
Clay kept them on pause for a while longer, wondering if she could still use the catchphrase that she had always wanted to use while also pondering that every moment she spent wondering , it was getting too late to use the catchphrase , she was in a royal bind that kept getting even more confusing with every passing moment."Uhm, are you not going to ask us to turn around slowly?", Someone finally asked from amongst them, interrupting Clay's personal struggle.She frowned at them, observing them.The one in the middle was obviously the one that had spoken without being asked to speak.He was wearing a hat and fatigues that obviously did not belong to him because they stopped far above his ankle and making him lift his hands up was making the discrepancy very obvious.Clay could not believe the audacity of the man.Well,on some levels she could understand it.He was in a survival game and he had already suffered so much that he had lost his clothes,there was really no reason for him to
The Westbrook Games The convertible way
After her exchange with Jared,Clay had totally ignored him,Richie and the rest of Richie's team while she and Saul had focused on determining the best and safest route forward while also considering a route that would be advantageous for them as they returned,in case they were being chased when they returned.So,she was pretty surprised when she turned around to find that Richie and his gang had not long since dissapeared,infact they were hanging around and discussing with Jared.Richie's appearance had reminded Clay that there were a lot of players that would be satisfied with robbing other players all the while they were here, completely forgetting the pyramid that came on every morning.It made her even more wary of their journey to the mall,wary of people they might come across and wary of word getting out if they succeeded in procuring food from the mall.It was one of two.Either Richie had decided to ignore Clay's words completely and still follow them around or Jared had given

It all ends with us
She could hear it all .She had heard everything that had happened from all of them but for some reason , she just could not wake up ." How is she doing ? Is she any better ? ", Saul asked Jade .He had learnt the hard way that she hated to be spoken to like a child ." No , the doctor says she is perfectly fine , I am beginning to think she is using this as an excuse so that she does not have to face me and everything I have to say to her and trust me , I have a lot ", She said sneering ." Yes , I do trust you ", Saul told the child who turned to glare at him too .They had all thought that getting a heart transplant would slow her down or at least keep her quiet for a few days but that was not the case .She claimed to be waiting for her sister to wake up so she could give her a very hot piece but she was here every second , holding her hands when she thought that they could not notice , it was obvious that she missed her sister the most .She had been asleep now for two weeks and

A finale to see...
Clay was bereft with emotions as she looked at June's face .She was too young , too young to have ever been exposed to such a harsh life , too young to be here but most of all , she was too young to be getting cold in her hands .She was too young to be dead , a tear slipped out of Clay's face and on to hers .Strangely , when she thought of June , there were no sad moments , thinking of her only brought smiles to her face .CLAY !!!The automated voice thundered behind Clay once again and she came back to the situation on ground .She remembered Jared and the autobots and the people that were still taking cover behind the ledge .June had died to protect them , she could not let any harm come to them and foil June's sacrifice now .Clay carried her gently and put her in Saul's arms , patting Saul's shoulders as she stood on her feet and turned around to look at Jared .She almost grimaced as she watched Jared limp his way out of the autobot's face .The autobot had done quite a numb

Lived till the last breath
Saul was weeping softly as he caressed her face , not even noticing that Clay had joined them until Clay pulled her out of his arms to wrap her again in her own vest .She opened her eyes when she felt the jerk and saw that it was Clay , her eyes were glassy and unfocused like she was blindly doing whatever it was that she was doing.June held up her arms and Clay looked at her , realizing that she was conscious before grabbing her fingers ."Why ? why ? why would you come out , you knew it was dangerous ", she cried softly , unable to control herself .June smiled , sputtering softly ." Yes , I knew but he was going to blow all of us up and I could not allow that , I wanted so badly to be your deputy and a little sacrifice should not have been scary to me ", She told her , her voice lower than a breath ." I never made you my deputy , you are lying ", Clay cried out , short of words ." Does it hurt ? ", She added a second later , hoping that the adrenaline her body was providing wa

The shots
Clay had realized one minute into her struggle with Jared's new sleek autobot that the autobot had not been built for a fight .It was slower than all of the autobots that Clay had fought before and since it had opted to struggle with Clay Instead of whirring out one of its famous weapons from its hands , it was safe to assume that its arm was probably just a normal bot arm that was incapable of transforming .Clay realized that the Autobot was infact only there to keep her busy and away from the two other autobots that stood in the middle of the field .They stood still and did not bother to go after June and the others .They also could not approach it seeing that its hand was a frigging shotgun .The other two autobots that stood in the middle of the field felt like some part of a sinister plan to Clay because he had no idea when they would begin to shoot or if at all they would shoot , she could imagine that June and the others were also ill at ease ." What do you want with them

The Meetup
They all watched as the Autobots began to fall to the ground.June had run out from behind their cover while Clay worked and had released the people that were being held and began to scream commands to everyone that was gathered there along with them , including the ones that were not their teammates."Go to the autobots and make sure that they stay down , we can not afford for the Gamemaster to gain control of them again!!!", She was yelling as she ran.The people seeing as Dean had taken the initiative and now June, also trying to make sure that they survived, ran out to help .The ones with guns shot at everywhere they knew to shoot at to prevent the autobots from returning to their feet while Saul shared grenades so that they could easily spread out and maim as many autobots as they could reach .This was going on smoothly when another whirring began.They all turned to where the whirring was coming from and watched as another autobot came from behind them .This one was different

Her Discovery
Clay turned around and beckoned for the others to come closer ." Okay everyone , we have no foreknowledge of what we are literally running into , but we need to stick together as much as possible ,like I said earlier there will be a bomb or most likely several that have been positioned in different places , they will all be self made bombs which means that they will not have much in terms of range but it also means that we might be unable to disarm them without Jared doing so himself . So, when we get there , depending on what the situation looks like , we will be splitting ourselves up to effectively locate the bombs . Lastly , we know nothing about Jared's plan so , when we can try to remain as alert as possible incase there are autobots lying in wait ", Clay said , wondering if she had gone through everything she needed to ." Ricky and Alberto lead the way , we are running down to the arena , all the way .Everyone , please stay safe ", Clay told them and stood back for Alberto an

It's just Jared....
As soon as Clay made her point,the others froze and paused all the movements they were making like they were being held at gunpoint while their eyes followed all of Clay's movement .Clay had immediately gotten on her feet after she spoke and had proceeded to run to the middle of the church where she had left her bulletproof vest and the rest of her stuff earlier.She began to dress in a hurry , tucking her guns into her vest and swinging the satch that contained her arrows over her back in record speed,it almost seemed like she had been doing that all her life.The rest of the team watched her in perplexity while she dressed and when she was done , she turned to look at them, get eyes fleeting over each one of them that was staring at her ." Why aren't you guys preparing ? We need to be out of here as soon as possible or do we not? ", She asked as she looked at their faces .Juan finally stepped forward ," You said it was a trap and he is going to release the bomb in the arena , if

The truth at long last
Saul could hear voices .Of course, he was surrounded by people so hearing voices was not such a big deal but the voices he was hearing were too harsh for whatever he was hearing to be okay.Saul jumped on his feet and turned around." Do you hear that ? ", Saul asked the others to be sure he was not the only one hearing the voices as he turned around to the doors of the church ." Hear what ? " June asked as she looked around , looking for what was supposedly making noise and confirming that it was indeed just Saul that was hearing these voices.She could hear nothing but she also knew just how sensitive to sound Saul was so she followed him when he stood up and began to walk towards the doors after him.The others also turned to see what Saul and now June were up to .Saul threw his hands forward and opened one of the large doors of the church that led to the room that the others were in and the sound of Clay shouting immediately filled the air .Saul immediately rushed inside,follo
