The Westbrook Games The final matching
"Who is going up against who?"Clay could see as they all raised their faces,moving their bodies closer for the second part of their gathering, which was really the more important part,the determining part because if a pairing that was not up to par was made,that would signify the beginning of their end.Clay was still not sure how to go about it or rather, she knew how she would go about it, she was just not sure of how the others would take it in stride, actually she knew for a fact that certain people would not like it.There was no longer any avoiding it as they all moved closer, their eyes on the paper and the five figures with name tags drawn on it.With this distraction, Clay leapt forward and grabbed the ink brush out of June's unsuspecting hands.She raised her other hand but missed her at the last moment and instead hit Juan on the side of his head, a loud whoop that caused everyone to turn to her.Jared , Saul and Ricky stifled chuckles , covering their laughs with fake cou
The Westbrook Games Hearing impaired
"Everyone , get off the altar!!! "Clay knew and trusted Saul enough to do what he said with the urgency that his voice had contained, so she immediately grabbed her rifle and dove down the altar , she somersaulted to break her fall before she landed on the ground.She was less than a second early because she heard it just as she was somersaulting away from the altar, a loud whooshing sound that swept past her ears and body, headed for the altar beyond it, it reached its destination immediately and blew up the altar and everything beyond it.The blast had flung Clay so far, throwing her on to the pews , she had not fallen well but had instead fallen in a heap , she lay crumpled and bleeding from her hand that she had wrapped off just a while ago , the bandage had come off and her wound that had begun to close off was now opened and bleeding afresh , with it came a new wave of pain that had Clay's eyes closing on its own.Clay groaned as the pain from the blast and her hand slammed int
The Westbrook Games The good doctor
JADEJay woke from her nap with a start, she had been having one of her usually unexplainable dreams, dreams that she was positive had no actual meaning.She had been dreaming of going to school when an explosion had taken the school down, it was a typical dream for places like their apartment or any of Clay's workplaces, Jay was always having dreams with explosions or bombings, usually of places that she did not like, which was a lot of places but not school.She had always wanted to go to school , mostly because Clay had always wanted her to go to school and she did not think of how a place dedicated to learning could be bad.She knew it would be a pain learning with people that were beneath her or could not contribute to what she was learning but she had always been curious of what the other children did there and how exactly they learnt that they ended up so slow.And Clay seemed to think she would make lots of friends and be very happy at one of these schools,Jay had never seen t
The Westbrook Games Fly me home
Clay woke to a complete and total silence.It was not the kind you were normally used to though because we were constantly hearing something no matter how little.Yes, it was the silence like in the movies , the horror movies , when everyone was sleeping and the images were already so horrifying that slow, scary music was no longer needed and even the audience was quiet as they waited with bated breaths for anything to happen,that was the crazy silence that Clay had woken up to.Clay was not used to waking up like that because Jay talked in her sleep about nothing in particular so she was not even used to total silence when she slept not that she would ever tell her that she talked in her sleep.Now that she thought of it,Jay might never find out that she talked in her sleep because if she that was her older sister was too scared to tell her then most people would be too scared to ever tell her forever.Clay was missing her sister so much that she was beginning to think of all and any
The Westbrook Games The plan
Jared was looking at her unsurely, but her face was set as though she had already made a decision and only wanted to make sure that Jared was aware.Jared had to inquire again to be sure that he had heard right and Clay was really sure of what she was doing, eventually he asked. "Are you sure about this, Clay?", he asked as quietly as he could.Clay chuckled at the question.She was as unsure of this as any other person but they really had no other choice, this was the only way so she answered truthfully,shaking her head at Jared's question."No, I am not sure but right now, we have no choice. If we do not do this, what happens next?One of us dies at the hands of an autobot or worse at the hands of another player?",she asked with a shake of her head.Just the thought of that happening had a chill running down Clay's spine, she probably did not look it but Clay would not be able to handle yet another person dying on her, so, she had to do everything she could to prevent that from happ
The Westbrook Games The deafening one
Clay looked around as soon as she had stepped out of the room that they had never noticed before the collapse.The room had been located underneath the stairs, why had they not thought to ever check what was underneath the stairs too?It was. It like the stairs were so small or insignificant that they did not draw attention to what could be beneath them.They simply did not care to check for things they were not missing.Clay shrugged as she thought about it , they had never exactly had the luxury of time to think about things that were not presently affecting them , so they could not exactly be blamed for not be adventurous or curious at least.They had always been too busy worrying about someone's health or fighting or worrying about food to care that the stairwell's base was too large to be empty.In a way, being recklessly adventurous had brought them here so it was foolish to think that anyone here would remain curious about things that did not directly affect their lives and wel
The Westbrook Games The promise
Clay had finished packing all of the things that she had gradually collected into her room out.At first ,she had thought of taking out only the things that she needed out but then she had been unable to pick out any things she did not need, everything suddenly seeming in her eyes.The truth was that Clay was a hoarder and hoarding was one of the things she did best, so at the end of it all , she had been unable to part with any of the materials and ended up taking all of them out with her. June had watched the whole of the display with amusement , watching carefully as she went back and forth with each item as she tried to determine their importance .She would take some items down like she did not see the need for it or have any more use for them and then after a few minutes , she would bring them back up and take them out to be with the other things she had marked important .When June could no longer handle the dizzying display , she had rolled off the bed , creating a little thu
The Westbrook Games The scare
Clay stared at the room that she had briefly found comfort in the past few days and shook her head with the realization that she soon came to.Everything was fleeting and would all come to an end, even life or better still, especially life.She sighed softly and made her way out of the room, her legs making it quite hard for her to leave the room on her knees like she had come in.When she successfully crawled out haphazardly, she looked down at her legs and smiled eerily, they had done so much good for her, it was hard to believe that they were the same legs that she had used to run back and forth from each of her workplaces back to the apartment in between shifts to make sure Jay was fine.Clay almost could not remember those days, they seemed strangely so long ago,like another lifetime entirely.How long ago had it been since she had just been working as a bartender and making drinks nonstop for hours?She wondered if she could still make any drinks at all and chuckled before she t
