Amanda - 11:00

Looking through the dimly lit town, I climbed out of the building and into the streets. I pull two knives out of my pockets, one for each hand, and start treading lightly, careful of any little sound. After around 10 minutes of walking and defeating 7 drones, I finally find people. My plan was to try to avoid them as much as possible, but looks like that's not happening tonight. I hop into the nearby building and try to listen to their conversation, eavesdropping. "Our party of three is too small, there's no way we're going to get enough points on time. The, what sounds like a younger girl says. "Yeah, there's no possible way." An older person says, almost in a mockingly tone. "Well we're gonna have to find some way- once you get your final point, we'll head to the front and find a group." I hear footsteps and move from my location to another one just right by there. "There's a chance that might not work though." The youngest girl says. "Oh shut up Monica, stop worrying. Boss has got it under control." I hear Monica let out a little yelp then retreat back to her original standing place. "She has a point-"
He stops mid speech and starts sniffing the air. "Someone's here, get down." The boss walks around holding a machine gun waving it in the air, clearly untrained. "If you're here, come out!!" He shouts a little too loudly, pointing his gun in the air. Before he pulls the trigger, I jump down and steal the gun. Carefully jumping away and out of sight again. "You little bit-" "NO CUSSING IN FRONT OF MONICA YOU JERK!!" The other guy says, which through Monica's whimpering, I learned was Caleb. "Does that matter right now??!!" Monica hisses through her teeth and looks down again. "YOU SCARED OUR BABY, YOUR GONNA PAY FO-" BANG. A loud gun shot rings through the air. All of us look over to where it was, completely ignoring the previous anger towards each-other. I leap out of my hiding place and run towards the location, behind me, they all quickly follow, realizing there could be more points for their group. When we arrive at the area of impact, I see Jack there with a random lady. "It's too dark, I can't see clearly." I whisper to the group behind me. "I've got you," Caleb says, pulling out a large pair of binoculars. "Don't help her you idiot, we can't trust her yet." The Boss says, but no one paid attention to him, and Monica grew closer to me, practically clinging off my arm. "Just sit still and watch the fight, if you shoot my brother with your bow I'll kill you." I glare at the group, their faces drop, then proceed to fix their vision back to the fight. "Well, what do we do, "captain" Caleb sarcastically exclaims. "Just sit back and watch for now, we'll join him when the fight is over. Shouldn't be long either way." I quietly mutter the last part, and we sit still staring at the movements from down below.
