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
The Westbrook Games The study
The twins had never been ones to fight whilst having a lot on their mind.They had never stopped to think of plan of action or how to defend.When they fought,they were always only about two things.How fast they could cut their opponent open and how much they could make them bleed.When they had heard that they would both be fighting against one man,they had not particularly had any issues with it.They did not care about numbers in a fight,except you were counting number of bodies.And so,they had come here to make Juan in to one of those bodies,they did not care to win and have a loser.They had come with the intention of winning and having a dead body by their feet.Except, this was not working out as their intended dead body was refusing to be a dead body.They had both watched him fight several times,he was Vasquez' gauntlet dog,his top dog and they had expected something within that range but the man they were fighting seemed like a completely different individual.He was faste
The Westbrook Games The thoughts of why they were here.
" OH HO OH !!! SOMEONE SING ME A FUCKIN LULLABY !!! I NEED TO GO INTO LA LA LAND AND WARN JUAN OF THE IMPENDING DANGER ON HIS BODY !!! ".The commentary was a bundle of unhidden excitement as he spoke, laughing at Juan's predicament.Saul watched Juan from above, sitting above he had such a good view of what was going on down there.He could see Juan quite well and he could also hear The Commentator's jabbering quite loudly."NOW WAS THAT UNEXPECTED?!? NO,OF COURSE NOT!!! IT'S THE TWINS!!! AND THEY ARE CALLED SINS FOR A REASON!!!",He yelled while the crowd cheered back, obviously agreeing with his words.Saul only stared,it was not his place to say anything,they had all known what they had been getting in to and no one had made them do it.These were words he spoke to himself so that he did not have to sympathize gravely with the man in the cage.A man that was obviously mourning.Even if he was doing it in his own asinine way and subjecting himself to fights between people that had n
The Westbrook Games The ones to be pitied.
Both th Commentator and Saul were quiet for a while after Saul's words.Sympathy.Or was it empathy that was more in need in such a situation?Saul had never known or been able to tell the difference between the two words.It had not made much of a difference since he had almost never had any reason to use the words sympathy and empathy before.The Commentator's hand climbed up to cover the mic,his second hand climbing too to cover his first hand that already covered the mic."You are mistaken",he whispered.Saul looked up at the Commentator's words wondering hat he meant and if he had been truly talking to him.The Commentator was already looking at him,he had a small smile that did not reach his eyes on his face."Mistaken?",Saul called,to be sure be heard right and true.The Commentator nodded solemnly before turning to look at the crowd before them."No one will be sympathetic of Juan,most especially not me.The world is full of pitiful people and among those pitiful people,we are
The Westbrook Games Double truth....
" AND WE HAVE OUR SECOND WINNERS !!! THE GIGGLING SINS HAVE WON THE MATCH UP AGAINST JUAN !!!! ". The crowd erupted in cheers,the sound of their joyful Whooping shaking the very core of the arena. It had long been proven that the crowd did not care who was winning they just wanted someone to win and an excuse to cheer. From the top of the field where the Commentator's seat was placed,Saul stared down at Juan's fallen body in the cage. He had come to avenge his sister and even if he thought that he had not done that,he had somehow managed to preserve her memory and everyone knew that,now everyone would remember his sister for the longest time,that had to be more than he had hoped for. Besides,he had been pitched against two men and he had done his darndest and everyone had seen it, that was what really mattered and Saul had a feeling that even the twins knew it too . Everyone had seen how they usually acted when they were excited or when they were assaulting someone and right now,
The Westbrook Games Girl trouble
June was at a loss of words.It was not just a loss of words that was bothering her.She was also unable to fathom exactly what she had found herself in.How was she supposed to take her fight seriously when she couldn't even get her temper to stay still because of this terrible person she had been paired with.She was using terrible because she of course could not think about a better word,not because she thought terrible was the best description of her situation.June stared dumbfounded, everyone probably thought she was having the time of her life,fighting, when she was actually here listening to weird shit and practically becoming a psychologist.She would leave here probably as a psychologist and a murderer because she really could not hold back anymore.The fighting between the two of them had been lax for a while but June was naturally competitive and hearing that two groups had already finished was eating at her.And even though there was no meaning attached to finishing in th
The Westbrook Games The fall...and the rise.
" OKAY FOLKS !!! IT IS SAFE TO ASSUME THAT KAYA MEANS BUSINESS !!! HAS THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE TWINS WIN BROUGHT ABOUT THIS SWITCH UP OR WAS IT THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT LOSING EVEN ONE OF THIS MATCHES WOULD BE THE END OF THE MATCH UP AND RESULT IN A DRAW BETWEEN THE TWO TEAMS OR EVEN UNLUCKIER , A LOSS FOR THE FURIOUS FIVE ?!?! THERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT WILL SIMPLY REMAIN UNANSWERED !!! ".Kaya turned around very slowly to face June, whom she had thrown over her shoulders at the cage's rails in a move that June had of course not been expecting.That was what she had thought,that June was not expecting it so what was this reaction she was getting off of June?June had pulled herself to a kneeling position and was smiling as she observed Kaya walk towards her.The truth was that even though she hurt like hell,June could not afford to stay down for long.It was an attitude and a pride thing.So,even though her neck and shoulders hurt like they had been completely sawed off, she still kept he
The Westbrook Games The switch
Kaya groaned out loud in frustration as she failed to hit June and was instead made to listen to June's words.She flipped around when June dissapeared from before her, thinking that she was now standing behind her.But when she turned around,June had once again moved and was no longer behind her.Kaya's eyes narrowed more as she tried to figure out where June had gone to and how she was predicting her moves but June had no Intentions to leave her the time to figure out what was going on, so when she stepped behind Kaya' back again but as Kaya whirled around in the opposite direction,she raised her leg up like she had seen Kaya do earlier and kicked the top of her head with all th strength she could muster in her legs.Kaya stumbled forward and landed heavily on her knees and June laughed out loud when she saw how beautifully the rough draft of a plan she had had been executed, courtesy of no one else of course."You kick with the insides of your legs and then in that split second, ki

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
