Lost (R5 fan fiction and Book I of The Adopted Series)

Chapter 8

Recap

We were already in the backyard and they had lots of big trees and a sick* pool! I had Ross, Rydel, and Riker on my team. These so-called 'Night Games' were basically like The Hunger Games*. The 'NightGames' were different though. In the 'Night Games' you had to squirt someone 3 times repeatedly until they're out, you have teams, the team with the most players out loses, and the game goes for only 2 hours.

Cece's POV :

I felt awkward with Ross on my team. But, hey, I have Rydel. It was around 8:00 pm and it was already dark outside. The only light that was on was the street light from the front yard. I saw Ryland trying to climb a tree quietly. So far, he was failing at being quiet. I looked at Rydel signaling her to look at Ryland. We both aimed at Ryland. I shot him twice, one time on the leg and the other time on the arm. Rydel shot him with Squirt on the chest. Ryland was being dramatic and yelled to Rocky.

"You guys go on without me. Save yourselves." Ryland yelled.

"Ryland!!! This isn't a tv show!!" I yelled from behind a bush.

I had just made a HUGE mistake. Rocky and Ell could find me. I crawled to the bush across from Rydel. The bush was pretty far, but I made it without getting squirted. I saw someone running, but I didn't see their face. I decided to "shoot" them. I shot that person 3 times.

"Hey! I'm on your team!" a familiar voice yelled.

Crap. I shot Ross. Oh boy, now I lost one of my team mates. I swiftly and quietly got up and climbed the nearest tree. As soon as I got up in the tree, I saw Rocky across from me. He didn't see me which was good. I climbed a bit higher. All of a sudden, I heard something snapping underneath me. I went to the next branch because I was scared of falling off and blowing my cover. I was about 4 feet above Rocky. I debated between shooting him. It took me quite a while to decide, but I ended up deciding to shoot him. I squirted Rocky 3 times on the back. Rocky was surprised and I scared him.

"Holy crap!" yelled Rocky.

Rocky lost his balance and fell out of the tree. Riker and Rydel saw him and he was their target. I laughed to myself at what a goof Rocky is. Rydel shot Rocky on the side twice and Riker got him in the face. All my team needed was to shoot my brother. I stayed in the tree and that's when Stormie came outside to tell us to get inside.

"C'mon you guys! It's getting late-- Is that Rocky?! Why is he covered in chocolate and soda?-- Well, come inside, it's also pretty chilly out here." Stormie said.

I jumped off of the tree. I went up to Rydel and Riker and high fived them. We had won the 'night games.' We ran inside to not get yelled at. I bid everyone a goodnight and told them I was going to take a shower. I got my towel and my pijamas and walked to the restroom. I closed the door and turned the water on. I was half way through taking my clothes off when Riker walked in on me.

"Holy shit! I-I-I'm sorry. I'll just go." Riker said.

Good thing I had covered my upperhalf with my towel. I quickly undressed myself and got in the shower. I looked at my scars from years ago when I used to cut. I sure needed to cover them if I was going to live here. After doing what was necessary, I got out of the shower, turned the water off, and got dressed. I walked quietly to my room and I flopped on my bed. As soon as I hit the pillow, I started being drowsy. When I was almost completely asleep, I saw a blondie out of the corner of my eye. I dismissed the picture off my mind and fell asleep.
