The Westbrook Games The rise of the leg hero
" STOP! ".Clay stopped running as the stadium lights moved to focus solely on her , the crowd had stopped screaming .Since the light was now on Clay , she could not make out the faces of the crowd and had now become a piece of furniture to be scrutinized .Only the commentators voice filled the court ." HOLD UP , HOLD UP ! SAVIOR OF THE WEAK AND THE WOMEN . WE ARE AN ORGANIZED AND DISCIPLINED ESTABLISHMENT !! ".They were ?They did not exactly look so .Wait , where they going to end the fight ?Clay relaxed , grateful for their organization , she nodded at Truck whose features she could not make out as he was not in the light ." WE DO NOT LET PEOPLE JUST JUMP INTO GAUNTLETS THAT WERE NOT ORIGINALLY MADE FOR THEM OR DO WE ??! ".The crowd came back to life , screaming and cheering .Clay nodded in understanding , it made sense .It was what she expected from an organized establishment like them .She would have cheered too but there was already so much attention on her ."

" Shit , shit !!! ", Clay swore as she ran .Clay ran out of the Arena but could not find any trace of Saul , nobody had told her Saul was a professional sprinter .Clay ran all the same , she did not want to encounter three of Top dog's friends , especially when she was alone .She ran down the school's hallway that was now quiet and deserted , everyone must have gone to watch the fight between she and Truck and they had not returned to their spots to continue to linger around in the darkness , pretending to be in some grimy film .She was about to turn the corners when she looked back and caught sight of the three musketeers still coming after her .Clay groaned and took off towards the approaching corner .Clay increased her pace as she rounded the corners and began to run down the halls of the new hallway that was not only empty but dark .Half way into the hallway , she heard something and turned around and someone pulled her into a dark classroom , the hand was different from Sa
The Westbrook Games Green life
Clay had learnt not to question certain things, especially when they were helpful to her , so she kept quiet and just observed .How they had somehow been able to get away from the arena with June's lack of even the smallest bit of a sense of direction and with Saul hunched over as low as a fucking turtle and she running ahead every two seconds to hold the kid from falling off Saul's back while also watching their back and making sure they were going in the right direction was one of those memories Clay never wanted to get back to .She had been sure that they might not make it out and had been pleasantly surprised when they had made it out .They had stopped to rest for a while after getting far enough from the Arena .Now , the noise from the Arena was nothing but a distant buzzing and a distant memory , just until you took a look at the boy on Saul's back and you were thrusted back into the distant memory .Clay stood while the others sat on the floor , the kid sprawled on the grou

TommyBack at their run down apartment complex.Tommy quietly jiggled his keys in the keyhole of the door to his apartment , careful not to wake Jade as he returned from his first day at his night shift waiting job that he had applied for and gotten much to his surprise .Jade had found the job in the papers and forced him to go , after giving her a rigorous run down of what she had assured her that her brother used to secure every job interview that he went for .She had also reminded Tommy that lawyers for Child custody battles were expensive and that was all the motivation Tommy had needed .The door finally gave way and opened and he walked in , the lights were switched off but he of course knew the way around his own goddamn house .He headed straight for the fridge , he needed a cold beer to deal with the stress and nerves from his first day at the job , he had not worked a job with actual manual labor in a while .He opened the fridge and the light came on , displaying the cont
The Westbrook Games Day Trois
They gathered all of their available food and sat on the altar to eat .They cleaned out the goblets with water and asked for forgiveness before using it to share the wine that June had opened quite unceremoniously , spilling most of it around in her attempt .After June had shared the wine , they made Saul wash his hands before splitting the rest of his roast chicken by four ways and then Clay handed out protein bars for them to munch on when they had finished eating .They ate quietly , Clay watched as June and Saul secretly watched Jared , they were probably filled with questions for the boy .As if he knew he was being watched , he lifted his head , he had a little protein bar stuck to the side of his face .June and Saul began to snigger loudly like that was the funniest thing that they had seen this year and the kid's eyes widened as he looked from one sniggering fool to the other in confusion .Clay pointed at the boy's face , trying to communicate what the problem was without
The Westbrook Games Explosives
Clay was still drawing when someone's boots stomped in front of her .She stopped what she was doing and looked up to see June .She looked frustrated ." What are you doing , June ? ",She called out slowly.She groaned and fell back into the bed , bouncing a little before her body finally settled ." If I had known that you would take a fancy to smarty pants over there , I might not have saved him ",She complained as she pointed at Jared.Clay only half listened to her as she stared at her drawing .She had drawn every single part of the autobot separately , expanding them on paper and highlighting everything she knew about each parts .She looked over to June and shook her head , tsking loudly ." With the way you ran out to save her , it was quite glaring that you did not care what kind of person he could be . And that's the kind of person you are , someone who acts before thinking ",Clay told her, hiding the insult beneath the praise.She threw one of the pillows at Clay and she d
The Westbrook Games The rules of the game
Clay and Jared stopped their chattering .They both turned to June who was sporting a beautifully forced smile while gritting her teeth ." Don't you guys want to explain what you're on about ? That would be the nice thing to do, no ?",She asked." Then we could all talk about nitro and gly- whatever together ".Clay and Jared nodded their heads , It was best to leave June unprovoked ." Okay , everyone gather around ",Clay announced.Clay went back and took the seat she had been using to read .She dragged it closer to the bed where June and Jared where already seated and Saul sat too , looking a little bleary-eyed ." So , yesterday I found chloroform in our emergency regeneration kits and it got me thinking ..."Clay stopped talking when she noticed June's raised hand , she took a deep sigh ." Yes , June ? ",She asked.She looked around at the others ." Some of us don't know what chloroform is ",she said with a shrug.That was plausible .Clay thought of the easiest way to descri
The Westbrook Games Kill Patron
They had all been quiet as they all cradled this bomb that Clay had dropped in their arms .Clay had been watching June clench and unclench her fist for several minutes now .It had come as a shock to Clay too but she had not been too shocked .If the game was truly about giving the winner whatever he decided on , Clay had long suspect that all stops would be pulled to make it as hard as possible .She had just not assumed death to be a part .But once she had confirmed that the deaths were real and not VFX or CGI , it had been easy to just see the worst of the whole situation .She had no idea how to tell the others that there was a great possibility that they were also being watched .Besides , the itch she had was still there .She still did not see the reason James had given her this book .It did not make enough sense that he had given her the book for her to find out that the steels were puppets whose strings were being pulled .That Information only fueled her to kill as many a

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 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
