Obstacles

-=5=-

I'm looking around, over the loudspeaker I hear a man,"This is your only way out, choose wisely." Wess is standing in front of me. With a gun pointed at me. I slowly walk towards him with my hands in front of me," Wess, what are you doing?" I ask him. His eyes are watering, it looks like he's on the brink of crying. "Look at what you've done!" He yells at me. I look behind me. Acacia and Dale are lying on the floor covered in blood with a knife laying on the ground. I stumble back and place my hands up to my mouth. I move my hands away from my mouth and realize. My hands are covered in their blood.

I wake up startled. No. I look around and see Acacia lying in her bed. This can't ever happen, my other dream came true, I would never do that, right? I look at the clock right next to me and see that it's only 7:34 am. I rub my hands over my face and get up.

I walk over to the bathroom that's right across the hall from our room. I turn on the light and look in the mirror. I'm not a monster. I turn on the sink and splash water in my face, I look down and my hands are covered in blood. I try scrubbing it off, but then the lights flicker and I look down at my hands, but nothing's there. What the he** is happening.

Once I dry my hands off, I walk back into the room and see that Acacia is up and getting ready. "Hey."She says cheerfully. I nod in response and look away. I scavenge through my chest. Since we've been here, They gave us each 3 pairs of clothes and trust me, I would rather wear scrubs than this. I change into a set of my clothes and pull my hair up into a tight ponytail.

Once me and Acacia were ready, we walked down the hall and knocked on the door to our brother's room. "Hey. We're coming in!" I quietly yell. I open the door and of course. Wess and Dale are still snoozing. Acacia turns on the light and they both pull their sheets over their heads. "Seriously?!" Dale yells. "Hurry up." I reply. Wess throws a pillow at Acacia."Get out first, unless you wanna be a peeping tom." I turn around and my face reddens. We wait outside for a couple minutes and they finally come out.

We arrived at the dining hall, but I wasn't that hungry, so I got a biscuit and jam. Once we were pretty much done, Joseph came over the loud speaker. "Today will be your first day of training, we left your outfits on each of your beds, we expect you to be at the training facilities by 0900." I sigh, "Ugh, this is like a military camp." It was already 8:36 so we all went back and decided to change.

Dannnng. These clothes were way better than the other ones. It was a skin tight shirt and pants that were black with turquoise  streaks on the side of them. The shoes looked like running shoes, but they had the same colors.

We changed and waited for the boys. They came out and their outfits were the same as ours. I blushed when I saw Wess and quickly started walking with Acacia.

Wess' POV

Acacia and Kate were walking ahead, and I was loving the skin tight suits. "So, what are we going to be doing?" Dale asked me. "We are going to train our minds, and work out our muscles so we will be ready for the game." I answered. Kate and Acacia already entered the training facilities, since they were ahead of us. We walk in.

Kate's POV

"SNEAK ATTACK. " Acacia yells as Wess and Dale walk through the door. She jumps on Wess' back and he struggles to get her off. She falls off and Dale walks pass me. " I'm so glad you aren't that hyper." He mumbles. I start walking, but then he walks in. "Hellooo." Joseph cheers as he enters. Great.

"Hi." I sigh back at him. "So! Today is the start of you alls training. Every week you will be given a task as to what you are training for. This week, your tasks are in those envelopes." He says and motions towards four pedestals with each of our names on them. "Now go forth and take on your task!"

He remarks and claps his hands. I hesitantly walk over to mine and grab the envelope. I flip it over and slowly open it. In bold letters it reads,"Thinking" I start walking towards  the room that has the heading on it and walk in. The door locks.

In the room, there's only a note on a table, and a button next to it. I walk over to it, and the note is titled 'Thinking.' I read it.

Hello Kate, today for your task you will have to escape from this room in 60 minutes. Once you press the button, your time will begin and a room will form around you. You must escape in the time limit. If you don't, Dale will be eliminated. You have 60 minutes.

"What?" I whisper to myself. All of a sudden, a projection of Dale appears across the room. He is tied up and a gun is pointed at his head. I hear a horrible sound,"Times ticking. "
