we were actually having a fun time, you wouldn't usually think a normal human would be playing tag with a group of immoral vampires for fun. maybe like they've known each others for years but, with george and clay, it was easy. it came so easily they didn't ever really think about it. they continued on playing for awhile just having fun wasting the day away, it was tiring in the best way possible. it was like there wasn't a care in the world when you were having this much fun between them.
since the first round, the teams switched up. after 10 minutes of attempting to convince george, he finally agreed to go solo as long as the rest played fair. I mean, he already had a disadvantage so they agreed to go easy if he actually tried. it seemed like a fair deal to him clearly, because he wouldn't be here if it wasn't. half an hour after the game had started, a new round was in progress. george was sprinting next to toby trying as hard as he could to get away from karl who was just on their tail behind them. now with george, he wasn't the fastest (obviously) but that was very much made up by how small he was, he could run into small places and loose people pretty easily because he could fit almost anywhere, or juke away from people just in time when he needed to. (Those moments came in handy a lot)
as the new round progressed, karl was just about to reach george, till he quickly turned deeper into the forest leaving karl behind with toby, leaving him no choice but to chase the smaller brunette boy. he happily chuckled in relief trying to catch his breath behind a rock he spent minutes getting to after he had left karl and toby. when he felt like he could continue on, he figured he could take a hidden way between the trees, trying to stay hidden from the group as he attempted to move to the other side of the field.

as i started to make my way deeper into the forest, i noticed how much quieter and alone it was. i was away from everyone which was weird because whenever i came here, i was distracted by the loud outbursts among the group. it was a very kenopsiactic feeling i must say. i wandered deeper into the woods with only a slight idea of where i was going. ive only ever been here once or twice so i didn't exactly know the place very well, which wasn't very good in my case because i got very lost. it felt like i was just going in circles over and over again until i sat down to actually try to look for something in the trees or path that might give me an idea of where to go.
i spent 10 minutes looking around trying to figure out a plan to get out of the mess i put myself in. after a minute or two i started getting up to walk in a direction that might get me somewhere when i felt a hand on my waist pull me close and a voice whisper deep into my ear, "where you headed off too now princess?" it quickly startled me leaving me all jumpy pretty easily. it was a voice i didn't know well, but i knew i'd heard it before. i jumped out of the hands of whoever held me and turned around quickly in shock and fear, only to be met by.. oh god, jack.
"uhm i- im just going to clay and them, ill be off." i stuttered and tried to quickly walk away attempting to remember where clay was. i was yanked back a large hand wrapped around my wrist in attempt to to keep me there. i turned around trying to free from his grasp, only for him to grip tighter. i wince in in pain trying to move his hand. "OW please l-let me go." i stumble out trying to get away. "now why would i let a pretty thing like you go?" he creepily grinned moving closer. "i knew you were a mortal the first time i stepped onto that field. your friends lame attempts to hide your smell jut drew me closer and oh my, you smell so good georgie." he said taking a whiff by my neck making me tense up.
