The Games

Chapter 3: Let the Games Begin

Written by Blue_Lillium
Each group was picked up in another flying ship, and placed throughout the forest.
Yuri looked around and took in their new surroundings. Up ahead she saw a ship drop a group near there's.
"This isn't good." She thought out loud. "What 'isn't good'?" Said Hope with annoyance. "They dropped another team near ours," she replied, pointing to the ship just a few meters away. "She's right, that isn't good." Said Zander. He had worry etched in his face. They heard a rustling and drew their weapons. Yuri had thankfully gotten a bow and quiver back at the great house. She drew it, clumsily loading it. She'd only taken one year of archery and she had dropped out because she hadn't been able to hit a single target. Faith looked over at her awkward stance and offered to trade weapons. Yuri handed over her bow while Faith gave her a spear. Yuri was much better at hand to hand and melee combat. She lifted the spear into position.

Out of the bushes came the most handsome boy she had ever seen. Her grip loosened slightly on her spear, and drool practically came out of her mouth. Yuri normally didn't fall for looks, but she this time she couldn't help herself.

His hair was a light brown that looked gold when it caught the sun. It blew softly in the light breeze. His eyes were an intense green that almost looked like a dragon's. His lips had a perfect Cupid's bow and were a light pink.
Putting it simply, he was perfect.

He raised his hands in surrender when he saw them with our weapons drawn. "I don't want to hurt you!" He shouted. His voice seemed to have a light accent, which she couldn't place a finger on. Keeping his weapon drawn, Zander asked him his name.
"Lus Parker!" He answered. Even his name was beautiful.
'Lus'.
It was the kind of name you could say over and over without it ever wearing out. The kind of name that felt good on your tongue.
She shook her head. She was thinking into this too much. She didn't know anything about him. Only that he was heart throbbingly handsome and has a nice name. She hardened her face and tightened her hold on the spear. "Where's the rest of your group?" She questioned him in the most intimidating voice she could muster.

"Oy, what the heck Yuri?! We have a fight you know!" Kiko said with annoyance. "Duh, I'm interrogating him." She gave Yuri a face full of questions such as 'How the heck do you interrogate with drool coming out of your mouth?' "Perhaps I should interrogate him." Zander said. "I'm with him." Said Faith. "No, I want to." Yuri said with stubbornness. "Whatever, I want to kick some butt." Kiko said with a evil smirk. She then pulled out her katanas and begins to walk in the direction of where the Lus came from. "We might as well join, Yuri go to that corner and question him." Zander said, with that they all fight. 'Damn why is Hope always so happy to fight?' Yuri thought. They then went to the corner. "Why are you here?" "I was sent to scout the new arrivals to see if they wanted to ally or if they were dangerous.

"Hey guys! They want to ally!" Yuri shouted. The rest of her group slowly turned around. "How do we know they aren't planning to back stab us?" Kiko asked. "Appoint someone to keep an eye on them." She replied. Lus seemed nice enough, she didn't suspect him of hurting them. "Fine. We'll ally for now." Said Zander, suspicion still in his voice. "They're good!" Lus shouted. From out of the bushes surrounding the clearing came 4 kids. They all stepped into the center of the clearing and introduced themselves. Bohen was a pudgy boy with shaggy, black hair that needed to be cut. Venus had an hourglass shape and long copper hair. Her eyes were a crystal blue and she had thick lips. She was society's essence of beauty. Dolores was a gloomy girl with long, raven black hair. She wore thick eye shadow and dark purple lipstick. Bangs covered her eyes but with what she could make out, they were grey. Painted on her fingernails were skull and spiderweb silhouettes. To top it all off she wore all dark grey and black clothing. Lastly there was Damen who was the proclaimed 'jokster' of the group. He was constantly making puns or cracking lame jokes.
