Lilly's POV
After we did our happy dances that we got our, safely, all three of us looked to each other.
"What now?" Jordanne asked.
I took a deep breath, thinking for a second. "Well, we need to keep our priorities straight. Get Bayani out, keep the rest in. Make sure that the girls are still safe, but it doesn't matter if some other girls get out, we just need to make sure Bayani is the only male to get out." I finished off.
Jordanne nodded. "And as I've already helped two people, I'm off to go help another. Then, I'm out." Dylan added.
"Will you be there after the games?" Jordanne asked, before I could even get a word out.
Dylan smiled as he began to walk away. "I wish you good luck, see you later."
"Looks like we're on our own now." I said to Jordanne.
"Just like we're used to." She sent a wink followed by a laugh.
"So, plan of action?" I asked.
"Whatever the hell we can do to keep everyone but Bayani in." Jordanne said, being completely serious.
I smiled. "Sounds perfect."
And so we began hatching a plan. This had to work.
-----
"Don't stop running!!" I yelled at Jordanne.
"Why!" She yelled back, not slowing down.
"Just, don't!!" I said, almost out of breath. It was way to much to explain while running at this speed.
"Left!" She yelled and I turned left to follow her. It's like the games are out to get us out.
"Left again!" She said, trying to get away from whatever we were running from.
"Keep going, were almost good!" I yelled.
"Right!" And we both turned right.
And finally we hear what sounds like a bunch of robots power down. I looked back to see the skeles, zombies, and creepers that were following us collapsed to the ground and vanished away.
"So that's...that's what was following us." Jordanne said, out of breath.
"Another random trap, I'm guessing. They really want the games to be ove- oh my god do you see what I see?" I asked her.
She nodded. "Unless I'm delusional."
I slowly walked over to pick up what the maybe twenty mobs dropped. "Careful!" Jordanne said as I touched it.
"I got it." I said. "It's got the activation instructions on it. Touching it won't release it." I told her and she let out a sigh of relief.
"I was afraid that it would release as soon as you picked it up." She said.
"I figured. We need to put it into a safe spot so we can use it later, maybe it'll help us get Bayani out." I shrugged. "The activation instructions say to throw it on the ground. So, we can't drop it." I warned.
"Understood." Jordanne smiled and opened her backpack. I dropped the secret weapon into the bag, carefully, and she shut the bag. She began to put the bag on, but I stopped her.
I grabbed the bag from her and opened my mouth. "I think it would be safest if I carry the bag."
She paused for a second then shrugged. "That is probably true." And we began to walk around again.
As we walked around we heard something snap. Like a branch, someone was near.
Jordanne reached on her back and pulled out a bow and arrow, aiming around to find the person.
"Hello?" It sounded like a deep voice. Bayani.
"Shoot!" I yelled, and Jordanne shot, hitting the persons leg.
The person fell to the ground. "Seriously?" It was a girl...
"Wait, but, you had Bayani's voice?" I said, turning it into a question.
But before she could answer, she vanished from the ground, and the messengers went off.
Fangirl taken out, cause: voice changer causing someone to flip out and "shoot!" Damn those creators and their evils ways... ;)
"Oh my gosh, so, the creators have the power to change their voices? To trick us?!" Jordanne said, getting angry.
I picked up a rock. "Throw this at a tree. Get some anger out." I said. And she actually did it, she groaned loudly but not loud enough to give away our spot, and hit the tree, making a mark.
"I feel better now." She said, with a straight face. "Let's keep moving."
And after a few minutes, I noticed only my messenger light up. Nothing else.
Run.
It read. And before I actually ran, I looked around quickly. The ground was falling behind us. "Go!" I yelled. This is way too much running.
After a ton of running, and telling, and frantically trying to get away from the death trap, it finally stopped. But I didn't stop running, and ended up on the ground before I could process it.
My head was killing me, I ran into someone.
"Geez, watch where you're going, would ya?" A deep voice said.
"Oh hell no!" I rolled my eyes as I faced Bayani.
"I'm just gonna, go." Bayani smiled and began to speak up.
"What, are you too wimp to face me? All you've done this whole game is run away from us!" I said.
"Lilly." Jordanne said.
I ignored her. "Maybe it's time you fight like a man instead of cheating your way through the games!"
"Lilly!" Jordanne said a little louder.
But I still ignored her. "So, are you finally going to face your doom and fight me-"
"LILLY!"
"WHAT!" I turned around.
"Look." Jordanne pointed at the ground and I saw something I did not want to see.
It had activated.
