Let the Games Begin

Let the Games Begin 9

Okay, I decided something. I'm gonna dedicate my stories by thinking of something randomly -like the 5th person to comment, the longest comment, the funniest comment etc.- and I won't tell anyone what I thought and who won UNTIL I upload the next chapter XD

Last chapter, I decided on the longest comment :D

Recap

   She slightly shook her head before she started climbing again. What? What? Wha-? ... Oh d*mmit! I'm not wearing my hat and sunglasses!

   I got this angry feeling within me, the one I always felt when someone says something about my appearance. She'll definitely tell everyone and make fun of me or hate me more.

   I clenched my fists. I love sports and rock climbing is one of 'em.

I'll get there first, tomboy.

Kyle's POV

   There was a sound of rocks falling and louf gasp from my right, where Emerald was climbing. I turned and smirked when I saw her struggling to get her right foot and hand on the walls again.

   I grunted and pulled myself up. This is harder than I thought, the stones to grip were too small.

   My wristwatch beeped. 15 minutes left. I made my climbing pace faster, my left side was wet from the waterfalls, making the stones slippery.

   My hands were starting to ache, specially my fingers. My wristwatch beeped again. 10 minutes left.

   I looked up and grinned when I saw that I was just a few meters away from the glowing things.

   Suddenly, the stone that I was going to grab went back in. I cursed when my nails scraped the rough wall of stones.

   Emerald let out a loud frustrated grunt. I turned and saw her struggling to grip one of the stones.

   I ignored her and climbed faster "Yes!" I mumbled, when my hand got on the big space behind the waterfall. I gripped on the stones and pushed myself up and in the hole, where the glowing things were.

   The hole was big enough for me to only be in a crouching position. I looked around saw 7 glowing things in another small hole.

   I took a blue glowing one out and realised that it was a butterfly shaped container... of something that had chains and a lock around it and another chain was attached to it and the wall.

   I shook it with my wet hands, the cold chains brushing my hands and the sound of it jingling echoed in the hole.

   I wiped the water that dripped from my soaking wet hair off my face, then looked to the entrance of the hole when I heard Emerald go in the hole.

   She was mumbling some profanities when she got in. I ignored her again and started to look for my key in my wet pocket. I felt the cold metal make contact with my freezing hands. I gripped it and took it out.

My wristwatch beeped again.

5 minutes left.

   I put the key in the hole of the lock and tried to twist it but it didn't budge. "D*mmit." I mumbled. I put it back in it's place and took the violet one. I tried to do it again, but it still didn't budge.

   In the corner of my eye, I saw Emerald take her key out of her wet baggy jeans and started todo what I was doing and was failing, like me.

   I took the green one, and was about to open it when the walls started to shake. Ugh. We still needed to climb down!!
