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
The Westbrook Games The armless
"Where are Alberto and Ricky?"Clay asked as she looked around the outside of the church,she was asking because she had not still seen any signs of them and she was beginning to think that something might have happened to them.They were the only ones that were unaccounted for and June had not mentioned them getting injured,she probably had just not chosen to, Only Juan could give her an actual answer so she looked for him.She turned around to look at Juan who was already walking out to join them on the stairs."Where are Alberto and Ricky?",She repeated when he glared at her for staring at him as he walked out."I had them run an urgent errand for me,they will be here in time for tonight",He answered shadily, already making Clay suspicious of whatever this errand was.Clay knew that Juan had no intention to tell any of them what sort of errand he had sent them on, so she kept mute and did not ask either.Someone else was missing and unaccounted for, the person that had seen to their
The Westbrook Games Red dress
June sat on the dust infested bed in Clay's former room,the dust was the last thing on her mind.In fact,it was not even on her mind,she had more things to think of.She was holding up the gown that Clay had gotten her.Even though she claimed not to have looked at it before getting it for her and had just grabbed it off the rack in the store, it did not change the fact that no one had ever gotten her a gift before, most especially a dress.Clay was the first.Gifting her a dress even in the situation that they were currently in.She fingered the material of the dress, her hands running down the smooth contours of the dress , it was so soft .She could just imagine wearing it , sipping an expensive drink while standing barefoot with her feet in the warm sand as she got ready for to take out her boat.She had always liked looking at magazines with girls in beautiful dresses and in different places.They had always looked so carefree that June had been hell-bent on experiencing this,eve
The Westbrook Games The starting whistle
Juan led the group, walking ahead and grunting unpleasantly every few seconds like he was having an internal battle already.But no one really cared to know what it was about so everyone pretended not to hear him.June and Saul took the middle, walking and talking in whispers while June supported Saul's walking with her left shoulder.They looked like a bunch of misfits.Juan the crazy one,she and Saul the half baked folks and May the too angry teenager.Clay walked behind them all, watching behind them and their sides to make sure they were alone and no one was springing another surprise attack like with Vasquez' bombing. They had been walking for a while now, following a path that Juan was taking them through after he had promised that they would avoid encountering people this way.June had been against it like she was against everything that she simply did not like, she had been sure that Juan had some ulterior motive of sorts but Clay had watched Juan lose his sister,in fact they
The Westbrook Games The Introduction of the uncool
"WELL,IT SEEMS THAT WE JUST MIGHT NOT HAVE TO WAIT ALL THAT LONG BECAUSE OUR OPPOSING FIGHTERS ARE ALL HEREE!!!"."LET US ALL WELCOME OUR OPPOSING TEAM FOR TODAY! THE FIRST EVER OPPOSING TEAM IN A GROUPED FIGHT!!! YES!!!! TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THEIR FACES. THIS IS THE TEAM THAT ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE AGAINST VASQUEZ!!".Screams,yells and even catcalls broke out of the school,spilling around the whole of the area like a storm was upon them.Upon Clay and the team only because they could not see anything beyond each other and could only hear the sounds of the crowd's screaming rushing past their ears.The light from the school that was focused on them made it hard for them to study their surrounding or even look up to see where the screams where coming from so they had no choice other than standing under the scrutiny of the light while trying to stay as aware of their surrounding as humanly possible.Clay was beginning to question of this light was part of their strategy when the Commenta
The Westbrook Games The betrayal of Juan
June and Saul were glaring fiercely at the man that stood in front of them demanding that they let Clay go with him to a secure location."If it is such a secure location,why can we not go with her? What exactly are you going to do that we can not be a part of?You fuckin idiot",She was almost yelling now.Clay only watched all of them, unsure of what to do since she was still partially shocked.Who exactly had made her team leader?She admitted that she had been a little bit forward a couple of times but that was only because she hated to sit back and think of how she could be doing whatever it was that was being done.She had just always assumed that if there was any talks of leadership to ever arise,Saul would take care of it.So, seeing people from the opposing team ask her to meet their leader as the leader of their own team and June and Saul go so easily along with it was quite shocking.She had never agreed whenever Jay mentioned it but it seemed that it was true after all and C
