Eli POV: 

I waited patiently in the waiting lobby for the new match mode to start. After our 24hr break the matches began again and there was a new match mode called "Black Jack" on the match board. From what I understand The Ripper hosts the match and we all get paired up with hunters and have to work together to score the most points. Unluckily for me I was one of the survivors in the first ever Black Jack game, along with Aesop, Andrew and Demi. I sat on a brown chair, facing the other survivors, waiting for the hunter to show up. 

"Hello Seer." came a voice behind me. "I was told I was to be working with you."

I turned around and saw the sculptor sat behind me, smiling. "Hello Miss Sculptor, I believe we are teammates for this round then."

The sculptor nodded her head and smiled, she almost seemed welcoming and friendly, not hunter like at all. "My name is Galeta, what is yours Seer?"

"Eli, and this is Brooke" I said pointing to my owl on my shoulder.

"Ah good! I mean we must at least know each others names if we are going to work together." Galeta reached over and pat Brooke on her head before turning around and waiting for the match to start.

I couldn't see anyone else's hunter and I'm pretty sure they couldn't see mine, however Aesop seemed to be talking to his a lot. Aesop was looking behind him, laughing at whatever the hunter must have been saying. He looked so pretty when he was happy, he hasn't been showing up to meal times a lot recently so I haven't had the chance to talk to him lately, it's nice seeing him all excited. Whatever he was talking about he clearly loved, his eyes had a glow in them and he looked so mesmerised as he spoke, his hair looked softer than usual which caused me to stare at him for a while. Aesop's so pretty. 

"Stop staring love bird." Brooke chirped into my ear

Even though no one but me understands what Brooke is saying but me, I still blushed out of embarrassment. It wasn't hard to tell that I liked Aesop, I mean who wouldn't, he is pretty, calming and he is so cute when he concentrates on his work. I sighed as I stopped staring. However Aesop is a bit stupid in some senses, I've been trying to get his Attention, flirting with him and giving him flowers for months however he never seems to quite get the grip that I'm trying to date him. I know he's gay because I was one of his first friends here and he told me, he probably just sees me as a friend. I sighed before we where teleported into a map.

"Arms Factory"

The Ripper appeared in front of me and handed me a card, 2 of hearts. This is a good start. I ran over to the cipher and began decoding and Galeta followed behind me, humming a tune. Demi was turned into the hunter and sent my owl to check on Aesop. He was decoding a cipher and was laughing with the same glisten in his eyes as before. My chest started glowing purple as Brooke flew back onto my shoulder. 

"Quick run!" Galeta said, following me as I hid behind a rock. 

WuChang walked past, not noticing me, and I let out a sigh of relief. So Demi got paired with him then, I wonder what hunter Aesop is stuck with. I ran back over to the cipher and finished decoding it, just before the timer ran out. Yet again The Ripper appeared in front of me and gave me another card, 5 of spades. 

"Okay we are still in the game." I mumbled 

"That's good." Galeta smiled.

Why is she being so nice? She is probably just acting to try to gain my trust so I will fault in normal matches. I ran over to another cipher when Aesop was turned into the hunter. My heart sank a little because I didn't want him to loose but It does mean I get to see who he is paired with. I managed to finish this cipher before I ran off to another and my chest glowed purple again.
