The Westbrook Games The handsome duo
Saul blinked at Clay's question and was silent for a while as he turned to stare at June's cage and where she probably stood inside of it.He eventually turned to Clay and smiled as he shook his head in the negative ."No, I have always known. I figured out a while back when I noticed that she never closed the door to her room back at the church too and she hated going anywhere alone,if she was left alone for too long,she would get cranky and act out, so it was quite obvious that she hated lone spaces",he explained slowly."Oh...I see",was Clay's only reply as she began to remember instances where Saul's statements had indeed been true.Clay nodded, thoroughly ashamed that she had never even noticed this and had been too eager to label everything June did as acting out.She looked up to the darkened cage and hoped that she was okay .Saul looked at Clay then and noticed the way her fists were clenched.He smiled vaguely.The girls never seemed to be on the same page about anything but
The Westbrook Games The egoistic leader
"GOODNESS , THERE IS NO VIOLENCE BETWEEN THE TWO MEN , THEY ARE SMILING AND BEING QUITE CIVIL . WELL , IT WOULD SEEM THAT THIS MIGHT TURN OUT TO BE THE MOST INTERESTING OF ALL THE FIGHTS BECAUSE TELL ME JUST HOW CONFIDENT YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE TO SMILE THAT MUCH WITH YOUR OPPONENT ?!?! "It would seem that the Commentator was unnecessarily kissing Vasquez' ass seeing how he had still not commented one normal thing about him.Not normal but at least spoken in the true manner they were all already used to hearing him speak.It seemed that he was only full of words of praise when it came to Vasquez.Clay was unsure about this match up for many reasons.One of it was how cunny she just knew that Vasquez was.She had no idea how good of a fighter he was but seeing as he had been in a street gang,he was probably pretty okay.It wasn't exactly that she did not trust Saul,no that wasn't it either.She just knew that Vasquez would pull something shady.What had just happened in the back stage
The Westbrook Games Backstory
"WELL , IT SEEMS THAT VASQUEZ AND SAUL HAVE MANAGED TO REMAIN FRIENDS DESPITE EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED, DOES THAT NOT JUST PUT A DAMPER ON OUR PLANS FOR SOME BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS TO ENEMIES ACTION?""BUT IT STILL DOES NOT MATTER BECAUSE AS THEY FIGHT TODAY,WE WILL FEEL THE THRILL OF BETRAYAL IN EVERY BLOW AND HATE IN EVERY PUNCH AND EACH TIME BLOOD IS SPILLED,WE WILL KNOW THAT IT IS AS A RESULT IF RAGE!!!".The light turned on in the Commentator's box and the crowd could clearly see him.He was standing on the partition that separated his seat from the rest of the crowd.He had cut his combat pants in to shorts and his vest in to what seemed like a crop top without sleeves to show off his sickly thin body.He was wearing the game boots that seemed ten sizes too large and he looked like he might fall at any moment.It was strange that a voice that deep was coming from a man that tiny.He was jumping about on the very thin edge of the partition and was yelling incomprehensible words as
The Westbrook Games The unmute
"Welcome to hell,Clay".Clay blinked in surprise.Had she gotten the wrong person?Hadn't they said he did not talk? She was pretty sure that was what they had said so why was he suddenly doing so?Why was he so eager to talk to her then when he was supposed to be the mute?Clay narrowed her eyes as she stared at him, wondering why he had decided to unmute himself when it got to her turn?She had honestly hoped that the fact that he didn't talk would make this an easier process for her.Really?Why exactly did everything not go the usual way when it came to her?Besides,was she supposed to be scared by his words?If that had been the effect he had been going for then he had failed miserably because it had only turned out to be such a weird statement because his voice was so tiny, smooth and almost had a velvety quality to it that had sent a cold chill down Clay's back, he sounded like a little girl.Not a little girl like her sister, Jay , he sounded like one of those little girls tha
The Westbrook Games The judge and sentencer
He was staring at Clay in a way that had her extremely uncomfortable.She would of course not show that to him,there was no way she could show that side of herself to anyone because then they would see it as her weakness."What do you call that word? When you set something aside because it is important?",He suddenly asked her,his eyes following her every movement.Clay shook her head, Wondering if this was really happening or if she was imagining it,she turned around hating how he stared at her like he could see her soul and smell all of her fears that she had not acknowledged.Was the guy she was supposed to be fighting against asking her for grammatical knowledge?She looked over to see Blue eyes still staring intently, waiting for an answer,Clay begrudgingly replied, hoping it would get him to stop staring awkwardly at her like she owed him something."What word?", she asked, sighing in exasperation.Blue eyes rolled his eyes at her awkwardness with him.He did not intend to kill h
The Westbrook Games Killer killer
"BUT, ALAS THE FIGHT CAN ONLY BEGIN WHEN ALL FIGHTERS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED AND NOT A MOMENT BEFORE , SO , FOR THAT REASON , THE MUTE WILL BE RESTRAINED TILL THE FIRST BELL RINGS TO SIGNIFY THE START OF THE SHOW !!!!! "."THE MANAGEMENT ALSO HOPES THIS SERVES AS A WARNING TO ALL OF THE OTHER FIGHTERS BECAUSE THE NEXT PERSON TO START BEFORE THE START TIME WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED".The Mute's growl filled the cage as he struggled with the huge forearms of the guard that held him down to the cages rails, his eyes had turned murderous as he glared at Clay who stared right back at him,a grin that she knew had gone annoying the heck out of the mute on her face.She was telling him to catch her if he could and well,He obviously could not.Clay could see that even the huge guard was struggling to keep his hold on The Mute, he was already straining as he held on to The Mute's neck but the most enchanting part of all this was probably the fact that as The Mute struggled , his face sho
The Westbrook Games The chameleon
Saul shook his head,sadly.Saul stared at the man that he had once considered a brother, everything he said made it harder to believe that they had both once been kids that had hated adults and vowed not to become like those adults that they hated, well , they had become exactly that.He could not even actively hate on the man because even he had done exactly that,become one of those adults that they had hated.Saul chuckled.Who was he kidding?They had become even worse."Remember when I told you about my shitty father and you said no matter what we did, we would never become like our parents or any adults that we hated?",He asked Vasquez with a little tilt of his head.Vasquez lifted his head to stare at Saul, he had never recalled that conversation before but now that Saul mentioned it, it was suddenly as clear as day in his mind .Saul snorted bitterly.He remembered it very well,it had been a Sunday and they had gone to the neighborhood church to wait around.When the sermon for
The Westbrook Games It all begins with a laugh
" YESSSS !!!! YOU HEARD IT RIGHT , JUAN WILL BE FIGHTING AGAINST NOT ONE BUT THE TWO OF THEM , IT IS JUAN AGAINST THE GIGGLING SINS !!!"."NOW,THIS MIGHT SEEM QUITE UNPRECEDENTED!!! IT MIGHT SEEM QUITE CONTROVERSIAL AND IN OTHER CASES,IT MIGHT EVEN SEEM QUITE UNFAIR BUT I ASSURE YOU, NO ONE MADE JUAN DO THIS,THE FACT IS THAT HE OFFERED TO DO THIS,HE PROPOSED IT !!!!""YESSS!!! HE PROPOSED IT FOR OUR OWN VIEWING PLEASURE!!!! "."SO, HOW? HOW EXACTLY WOULD WE RECIPROCATE THIS FAVOUR FROM JUAN?!? HOW?!?"" HOW DO WE REPAY SUCH A FAVOUR AS SPICING UP THE COMPETITION BY BRINGING IN AN EXTRA FIGHTER?!?"The crowd went wild and began to howl or wail Loudly to the voice of the Commentator that was ricocheting over the entire field.It was quite hard to tell exactly what it was they were doing with all the screaming and bellowing that was going on in the midst of the crowd but it did seem like they all knew exactly who the giggling sins were and what they were capable of and they seemed to be

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
