Ibong Adarna Games Of The Faction Rings

Chapter Five

It felt like a week has passed, but Alex and Nate haven't stopped arguing even about the smallest of things. The guy from District 4... what's his name? Oh yeah, Austin. Austin even broke the alliance to find his girlfriend, out of frustration. Jairo and I just ignored them. About Kuno, well, let's just say I'm glad Jairo thought Alex or the twins could have been the culprit. Long story short, the two are arch enemies and are about to eliminate each other... I think...

. . .

Jairo walks away as the classic fight occurs.

Canon.

"You're with her?!" "No..." "What's with the--" "She's an ally!" "Oh really?!" "Yeah! Sheesh! If you're not going to believe me, then don't!" "Where are you going?" "With my gi--I mean ally!" "Nathaniel!" "Bye!" "What?!" "Bye!" Naty-baby!" Cece speaks up. "Face it! You are never gonna be with my little man! I mean seriously... You're nothing, but the last thing any boy would love to find. Oh Alexandria, honey, get a life!"

Alex breaks down as Nate walks away with Cece, his 'ally'. I try to comfort her, but she just pushes me and grabs her spear. "Don't touch me!" "Alright." I sigh, "I'll just get you food." "No!" She shouts, "I can do that myself!" "Alrighty then... I'll just--" "Shut... up! I can do everything myself! I can even finish you myself..." "No, I do not think you can." I laugh nervously, preparing a few knives. "Yes I can!" She screams throwing her spear at me. I dodge and throw three knives... all hit her neck. She stops breathing and a canon goes off signaling her death. "Oh I'm sorry... Your perturbed state nauseates me..." I was about to pick up my knives until... suddenly... someone grabs my neck and two others grab my arms. "Azi... the traitor..." Tyrene whispers in my ear as I struggle. "JAIRO!! JAIRO!!" I shout. "JAIRO!!" "Jairo isn't on your side anymore, traitor!" Xyrene spat. "HELP ME!!! JAIRO!!! PLEASE!!!" "Jairo isn't coming..." says a high-pitched but fairly masculine voice. "Niko... please... I beg you..." "Why would I help a bully?!" He cries. "I never bullied you!" I snap. "You didn't want to be my girlfriend two years ago..." I roll my eyes. "Niko! I wasn't ready yet... didn't I tell you that we were too young and that we needed to focus on our studies first?" "That's all you ever think about! Your studies! Your work!" "Of course! They are vital for the future stages of life...But another vital thing would be the family I no longer have, and that is why I study and work harder. "Ryan! Baby! Tie this... insolent girl to that tree!" Xyrene commanded. "Yes my love..." Ryan salutes as he ties me to the tree with the help of Niko. "Rye... Nikoniks..." I whisper. "Just be quiet Zie... Don't mess with my girl." Ryan whispers, walking to Xyrene. "I'm going to move on..." Niko says to himself loudly. "You should." I tell him. "Tyrene's cute, kind, sweet, and--" "Stop. Stop it." "What? I'm just helping you Niko..." "No... just no. I don't want to hear your voice." "Okay?" "Shut up!" He screams. "You sound... confused." I say, tauntingly. "Tyrene! Can we please leave this twit?" Tyrene smiles. "I'm sorry honey-boo... we're going to stay here." Niko glares at me and frowns at Tyrene.

. . .

I moan. Many 'surprises' have been happening... poison ivy falls to land mines. To my surprise, I haven't heard a canon until Alex died. I think we were educated too much... lol.

Xyrene walks to me and whispers, "Well, well, well... Looks like I'm gonna hear another canon tonight. Yes, yes, you're going to get a taste of your own medicine very soon. That's for laying hands on Alex... and..." She leans closer to my ear. "Kuno." My eyes widen. She laughs as she walks away from me. After a long while, they fall asleep. A tall girl approaches me, and starts cutting the rope with her "Who a--" "Zie. It's Sevi." "Oh Sev, I'm so glad to see you! I can't believe they're--" "Shh... quiet... they might hear us..." Seconds later... "Yes!" I squeal. "Shhh!!!" Sevi scolds. We slowly escape, until... Sevi squeals. "Sevi!" I scolded. She pointed at a tree. I saw a knife. I shout, "RUUUUUUUN! !!" We dash through the forest as every tree is being struck with knives. I glance at the campsite and realize the twins, Ryan and Niko are chasing us. Several canons go off. I count. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. All the knives disintegrate.
