"Anything else you want to tell us Sierra?" South asked obviously annoyed. "Not that I know of." Sierra said sarcastically. West rolled her eyes. "Ah, how I've missed your sarcasm." Malden said with a sickening grin. "Dude, you have some problems." East said. "Oh dear East that's not very nice. For saying that, you get to be the last contestant in my game." I felt like I was going to puke. West as well. "You mean the game of LIFE? You know LIFE right?" Her pupils turned red. "The thing that about to GET KNOCKED OUT OF YOU?!?!" West threw a giant fire bolt at Malden. He caught it and threw it back to West. "Oh crap." West muttered as she grabbed the fire bolt and was thrown back into the sand. "You wanna play beach volleyball old man?!" She yelled and threw the bolt back at Malden. "I have no time for this." Malden said catching the fire and turning it into dust. He looked at me. "North sweetie." he said. "I saved you. Surely you want play my game?" I stared at him as I made a wave bigger than the one that crushed me formed. I made the wave grow taller and taller and wider. As the wave hit Malden he fell. He looked at me and started charging toward me. "DON"T YOU DARE!!" Sierra screamed. "I got this." East said and made a giant tornado sweep up Malden for about a minute. In that time period South made a rock pile that surrounded and protected us. Birds were on guard. Malden broke free of the tornado. "My game is called, 'Capture the Flags.' When I say flags, I mean you five." He started to point at us. "Wife." He pointed at Sierra and she collapsed and fainted, her head smashing on the sand. South and East screamed. She was still alive. We could hear her breathing yet, we panicked. "Oldest daughter." He pointed at West. She started to rub her eyes and yawn. Her head nearly missed the rocks as she fainted. "Second child." He pointed to South and her head landed on the rocks but there was no damage. In fact, it looked like her head hit a pillow. There wasn't even a crashing sound. The birds squawked and flew away. "Third born." He pointed at me. I began to get drowsy. Everything was spinning. I could hear Malden say, "Youngest. Hence, the baby." and see him point to East before everything went completely black. No sound. No sight.
