The Westbrook Games Lost and found...lost again
"I can explain but first you need to sit down because it is a story that makes you very light-headed ",Clay explained to him, nodding towards him so that he understood that she was offering this as courtesy since he obviously was the only one that could be light headed.Juan stared at her for a few seconds before he made some noise under his breath and moved back to the bed where he sat tentatively like he wanted to be ready to run out of the room at any moment.Clay nodded in appreciation of him listening to her words,she then got herself comfortable to speak to him when she realized something.The white haired kid was still here.She could not continue now so Clay looked over at Vasquez,wanting to signal for him to send the boy away,she did not want to have to say it out.But the flickering light was terrible and it took her a while to even locate Vasquez before she could begin to signal what she was going to say.It did not help that Vasquez kept squinting at her like she was an un
The Westbrook Games The plan
They had to exit the room again to take Vasquez to his sister who was even farther down the hallway which meant they had to spend more time in that dark abyss .They filed out of the room but this time , Saul had taken the forefront so he could continue to Switch the flickering light back on everytime it went off,which was quite a lot of times.Vasquez was walking directly behind him while June and Juan supported Juan as they walked."Old man , how much longer do we have to go?Walking around your dreary hallways is really making me hate you more and more!".June groaned out while everyone pretended not to smile at that .Everyone wanted to be the ones to complain but since they also did not want to be perceived as weak , no one had complained .Clay was personally glad that June had expressed exactly how she felt on behalf of everyone of them.Vasquez was beginning to learn that it would take a whole lot to clear his name in June's book and get her to like him.Liking was probably far
The Westbrook Games When in doubt...
José watched the whole thing unfold uneasily.She was not sure what had happened but she could sense the power change,the kid seemed to be the one somehow in charge.Was that why no one was saying anything about her plan even though it was strange as fuck?She looked over to her brother,the only reason she had done most of the things that she had done in this game, including Listening to what Vasquez,the sick fuck wanted her to do.She could see that even her brother seemed to acknowledge this child.She knew nothing about the child except that she was the one that had Interrupted her brother's fight, defeated him, ended his winning streak and set off this rollercoaster of fighting.She briefly Wondered if that was why her brother seemed to respect the child that he could have probably given birth to if he had procreated as a teenager.Saul on the other hand seems to be just a statutory figure,he did not seem scared of the girl but he also seemed to not be interested in what the girl
The Westbrook Games The agreement
Juan nodded."Yeah,I saw him and even heard his prognosis",he replied to the inquiry.As soon as Clay heard that,her head spun around and she turned to face Juan,to address him when she suddenly noticed the look on his face,he seemed to be quite uncomfortable with the topic that they were discussing."It is okay , you do not have to mention it",she said, referring to The Mute's state that he had come across.Selfishly,it was not just because she did not want him to be uncomfortable about what he had witnessed.It was mostly because she was scared of hearing what she had done to the other man in order to win the match.She did not remember most of the match since at different times,she had been blinded with anger and rage and had just gone on rampaging and now,she had to hear the full extent of the damage she had done while cosplaying as a nice, violence hating medical student.But Juan shook his head,staring at Clay in confusion as he spoke,his eyes carrying a light that immediately a
The Westbrook Games The walk home
They were all leaving together.They had all huddled together out of the dreary hallway and then followed Vasquez to a better, well lit , escape module.It looked nothing like the escape module that they had all thought of or imagined but Vasquez Insisted that it was an escape module and all efforts to refuse his ideology had failed bountifully.They were all a team now as Vasquez had once again insisted but Clay preferred to think that they were just a group of people whose interests aligned for the time being,she did not put it past Vasquez to attack them if he thought that it suited him and they were no longer of use to him.After today or tomorrow,she was sure that they would all be off in completely different places,Clay just hoped none of them were navigating the roads that led to hell.As much as she did not like some of them,she also did not wish death on any one here, especially in this horrible manner.Vasquez had offered to take them past a way that was hidden and would not
The Westbrook Games So long
Clay had suddenly stopped talking and was looking like she was in a trance of some sorts.Suddenly,Clay took a step forward and removed her gun from her hip as she walked.She heard it again but it was not as loud or as prominent and Clay was just about to ignore it, thinking that it was far off when she felt the ground beneath her boots shake.She jumped back and yelled for the others to all hear." Move ! Autobots are coming this way!",She screamed as she began to feel for her weapons.She did not know the kind of attack they were facing or rather,the level of the attack so she did not take out a weapon just yet.She only felt for them in order to be assured that they were still there.They broke apart after hearing Clay's statements,getting out their weapons immediately, a sound that Clay had never expected to hear quickly filled the air as different people began to uncork their guns.Clay suddenly heard more pounding coming from another angle and quickly rushed to face there,this
The Westbrook Games The connection
The Gamemaster.He had not expected much from the autobot that he had sent after Clay because he had realized in the first few days that had gone by that it seemed to be that she was talented in the art of disposing of autobots.So,he had kept sending, waiting for her to run out of whatever fuel encouraged her to lay waste to his autobots.He had of course not gained anything since she had still succeeded in getting rid of the ones that he had sent her way.If he was to be sincere,he had actually gained something, knowledge that he would have to try harder lf he wanted to beat Clay.He of course had no ill feelings about that,he was always up for a little beat down and the thought of that had always seemed to brighten his day whenever he lost yet another autobot to them.But it had still been very shitty for him when he had lost that bot and he was quite pissed.After,Clay had decapitated the bot just as soon as he sent it to over,he had focused on June's bot next, hoping to get at le
The Westbrook Games Whispered plans
Clay and Jared tried to move as quietly as possible so that they did not draw any attention from the numerous people that now inhabited the church.It would be too hard to have to explain why they were creeping around at this time of the day.They stood behind the church , within the grove of young trees and other plants that had helped them conceal the secret that they hid.Clay went first,struggling to part the heavy branches as quietly as possible as she moved deeper into the grove of trees.Eventually,they reached a part of the grove that had no trees , just smaller plants that acted as a bed for the autobot that lay there, unmoving in the middle.Clay had killed it yesterday when they had returned from the mall to find June gone.She had no way to take it back with her after the kill without answering a load of questions , so she had left it there and told Jared of the exact location and provided ropes to help him move it while they were at the arena.Jared had gone for it immedi

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 sacrifice
AND THEN THERE IS VASQUEZ , I COULD NOT EVEN BRING MYSELF TO HATE HIM BECAUSE HE WAS JUST TOO GULLIBLE AND PITIFUL , TRICKED INTO A GAME , TRICKED INTO A LIFE , DISRESPECTED BY June AND Jared , OHH , THE LIST IS ENDLESS BUT I WILL END HERE FOR NOW !I HAD MIXED FEELINGS WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT JUAN'S BOMB BECAUSE I KNEW HE DID NOT INTEND TO OF COURSE KILL YOU ALL , I THOUGHT ABOUT TWEAKING THE BOMB TO KILL YOU GUYS BUT THEN I REALIZED THAT THE REST OF THE GAME WOULD BE TOO BORING SO I JUST ADJUSTED THE POSITION OF THE BOMB .HONESTLY , I COULD GO ON AND ON ABOUT ALL THE THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU DYSFUNCTIONAL LOT BUT I AM HERE TO KILL YOU ALL AFTER ALL .CLAY , I AM SURE YOU MUST HAVE NOTICED THE BOMB RESIDING IN THE CHEST OF THAT AUTOBOT YOU ARE CONTROLLING , I SHOULD THANK YOU FOR THAT , BUILDING THE BOMBS ARE USUALLY THE HARDEST PARTS OF MY JOB HERE BUT YOU MADE IT SO EASY WITH ALL OF NUGGETS OF INFORMATION YOU WERE WILLING TO DROP .THE BOMB IS SET TO GO OFF AS SOON AS THE GAMEMASTER
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
