The Westbrook Games The tale
He wasn't hysterical,he only seemed that way.Saul could immediately tell so he was in fact ready and not in the least bit worried when the next course of action took place.Vasquez' hand flew out at that moment,headed for Saul's chest but Saul had anticipated it,he had known that Vasquez was not the type to dwell on the past so if he was doing just that,he probably had another agenda and he had figured out what this agenda was as soon as he had noticed that Vasquez was moving closer to him as he spoke.So he took a quick step to the back and moved his hands to grab Vasquez by his arm.He grabbed him and immediately let go of him, pushing him away from him when he noticed Vasquez pull out something from behind him.In a brief second, Vasquez was hurtling towards the other end of the cage, the second knife he had brought along falling down mid flight.Saul's eyes were transfixed to the ground where the knife lay.He was staring in shock and disbelief, to think that Vasquez had actually
The Westbrook Games The truth you never knew...
VASQUEZ slowly climbed to his feet while Saul watched him.When he had gotten on his feet,he turned his head slightly to stare at his behind before he proceeded to dust it with his hands, making fast, swiping movements.When he was done with that,he turned to Saul and smiled vaguely.They stared at each other for the longest time,each of them lost in thoughts of how they had lived their lives thus far,it was nothing they could respectfully look back on.They had plundered,killed and hurt people to get ahead and been even far worse than the parents that they had loathed and had driven them to their street life."There was nothing we could have done…"Vasquez began, trailing off as soon as he started and Saul gave him a look."Nothing we could have done? Nothing we could have done Vas? There was a whole lot of things we could have done, we could have also quit but we chose to go on,we chose to kill rivals to stay longer in the business. We killed innocent people that got in our way and
The Westbrook Games The story behind.
"I did not think…."Saul laughed.It was a dry,harsh sound and did not sound like a laugh to anyone that was listening but Saul had been laughing."I swear...it wasn't on purpose,I did not do it on purpose,I really did not think that…"He was Interrupted by Saul."Yes , that is exactly your problem Vasquez.You do not think...oh,what am I saying?",Saul asked himself as he chuckled yet again."You do think,in fact you think more than anyone that I know. You think and manipulate and scheme with that ball of hair that sits atop your neck. Oh yes,you do think especially not about anyone besides yourself,you never think of the consequences of your actionns. Lord only knows what happened to all the people in the shelter because I am so fuckin sure that they all probaby did not make it through the winter !",he stated.Through the winter?Oh yes,he remembered now.It was hard not to.When you lived on the streets,you never forgot the winters.You never noticed the other seasons, because you co
The Westbrook Games The reasons
Saul was growling wildly in to the night air, earning the attention of all the other people that had looked away to the other cages at different points in time.As soon as he growled Loudly like an injured animal that needed to be put down,they had all turned to face him and his cage, to see what was going on.They found him to a corner growling his head off while Vasquez watched testily from a corner.Saul slapped his chest with the back of his palms,he repeated it again and again while Vasquez flinched at every new hit until Saul finally finished hitting himself and whirled around to face him,his face sporting a crazy expression as he glared at Vasquez."One minute",he whispered,his voice sounding like it hurt to talk.He stepped forward,stumbled in fact and Vasquez also stumbled back a pace,unsure of what Saul's endgame was.Saul barely noticed all of this movement as his eyes were only focused on Vasquez' eyes and neck,a look of murderous lust in his eyes."You have exactly one mi
The Westbrook Games The last hit
Saul raised his hand to rub his face and sighed heavily, exhausted.He was exhausted because the stories were becoming too long and exhausting and he was having a hard time keeping up with all of them.Saul had no idea what to do.At first,he had been livid that Vasquez had pulled him in to a fight that was in no way his business but now he was even more livid that it was not just him that had been pulled in to the fight.His girls and their mother had also been pulled in to whatever stupid game that Vasquez was playing and just the thought of it had Saul very mad.But on another hand,he could not help but think of the fact that if not for this problems,he might have never known that he had children somewhere but still,at the same time,this whole issue could prove to be more dangerous than they had thought and anticipated and then his girls lives would be in danger,when he thought of it like that,it made him wonder if it was not better that they were alive and safe and he never knew a
The Westbrook Games The count
As soon as Vasquez hit the ground , the crowd went crazy with cheers.Anyone that heard them now might even think that Saul had been the preferred winner all along.Their cheering almost sounded like it was born of pride and happiness over Saul's win but if you listened closely enough to all the guttural moaning they were doing,you would soon realize that they were only that way because they got to see a fight,a bloody one at that.They did not care for the identity of who was down and who was the Victor,they simply cared that their sights were fed.Two men stepped forward from the shadows of the outer part of the cage,no one knew them but it was quite obvious that they were Vasquez' men.They were both as tall as the men that had locked the fighters in the cage,and although it had seemed impossible at first to find men that looked even more fierce,they managed it okay.They approached the cage in subtle steps and the crowd began to go quiet as they noticed them,they each shut up unti
The Westbrook Games The tap of dignity
Clay was still smiling when she heard the commentator talk about Saul punching the Referee, this time she released The mute and laughed out as soon as she heard what Saul had done.It was so out of character for Saul that it made it even funnier to her.Saul was surprising her so much today that she wanted to sit and reminiscence on it all,alas,she couldn't very well do that."WELL,IT WOULD SEEM THAT SAUL IS NOT VERY SATISFIED WITH HOW THE REFEREE WENT ABOUT HIS WORK AND THE MULTIPLE BREAKS HE TOOK AS HE HAS JUST SUCCESSFULLY SIGNED A WARNING OVER TO THE REFEREE !!!",The Commentator said amidst laughter from the crowd and the Commentator himself.Clay eyed The mute for a while and when she was sure that he was immobile and would remain so for a while still she turned around and looked out the cage,in the direction that Saul had taken, searching for him. She found him a moment later,he was standing over the referee's body and holding out his hand for the man to take.Clay laughed.Onl
The Westbrook Games The vow
The Commentator stared at Saul as he settled down without an apparent care in the world."You can't be here",He iterated as he watched Saul munch on his snacks.Saul stopped chewing and turned completely to the man,his mouth still open from the chewing he had been doing.The Commentator's voice was different from what it sounded like over the speakers.Over the speakers,he usually sounded like he was jesting, trying to lighten the mood of a fight or just being humourous in general.He had projected an image of a jolly man and without thought , they had all accepted that image that was being projected on to them."WELL,THE FIRST FIGHT IS DEFINITELY FINE AND DONE WITH. IN SUBSEQUENT FIGHTS,WE KNOW THERE WILL BE QUITE A FEW SIMILARITIES AS EVERYONE WILL WANT TO END THEIR OWN FIGHTINGS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !!",As he spoke,his eyes remained on the person he was speaking for, Saul, who was already looking at him first.Sitting next to him and listening to his voice in this manner, because he

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 sacrifice

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
