Challenging Directions - Book 1 (Completed)

Chapter 5 - All Fun and Games...

After the train left the station everyone settled into their seats. Kai and Riac started their introduction challenge.

"Ok here are the rules. First you must say their names with emotion. Second you must do hilarious poses, without making your team laugh. Third I really think this is stupid." Moss says with a sigh. "Now to flip the coin and get this over with. Lovely ladies," he says turning to Fia and Enya, "Would one of you like to call out heads or tales for my team?"

"Nah," Enya says cracking a smile "I want to be on the winning team." She starts giggling.

"I will do it then." Fia says tilting her head to the side. "Tails." As Moss flipped the coin and went to catch it, Enya went over to him and blew in his ear. He missed it and turned looking at her.

"What was that for?" He asked looking shocked.

"Well I did say I want to be on the winning team." Enya smiled and turned away. Mosses eyes watching her as she went to sit with Lani and Fia.

"Ahem!" Rai says staring at Moss a little too fiercely. "Let us hurry this up." He then goes to look at the coin. "It is heads. Riac, destroy him... Haha have fun."

"Wait. What does the winner get?" Kalila asks.

"How about a kiss from the girl on the opposite team?" Kai asks looking longingly at Kalila.

"Well as long it is on the cheek." Riac says. " Sorry but i don't want to die today." He says looking at Louis, who looks like his head might explode.

"Yes, that works." Louis says through his teeth.

"Right here we go." Riac says getting ready to throw down some sass, as his team members stood up. "First we will start with....pause for dramatic effect," Riac did a handstand. "Rai! Now for," Riac starts shaking his butt, "Kalila!" He does a flip and swings his hands up. "Can't forget George!" He says jumping over the purple eyed, dark blondes head. "My man Corrin!" Riac starts twirling around the chestnut haired boy. Everyone was bent over laughing, so he stops. "I am being serious ya'll" and he snaps his fingers in a z form. "Now for the baby of our group." He swings his hips from side to side and kicks his left leg up. "Arrio!!" And he bows.

"Hahahaha, sorry. Ahem, well now for Kai's team!" Rai says trying to stifle his laughter.

"Now for the pro." Kai says strutting to the center of the train cart as his teammates lined up, with the exception of Sir Atticus. "Our very own mystery man shadow Ashe!" He says stopping in front of Kalila to do the 'thunder and lightning' pose. "Now to his main man Moss!" Kai says squatting down and crossing his arms. Now walking over to Ercan he stops right in front of him and stretches his arm behind his head. "Ercan the idiot." Behind him Ercan tried to hit him but Kai ducked and moved to the left. "My favorite little princess Mia!" He stops and makes his hands into a big heart form. "The tough guy here is Louis." Kai walks, turns his body and winks at Enya, Lani, and Fia.

"Hahaha. Oh this is great!" Lani says laughing. "Ow ow, my side hurts HAHAHAHA!!" She doubles over with tears in her eyes.

Suddenly a loud crash came from the car ahead of them.

"I will check it out." Kai says walking to the next cart.

"Not if beat you to it!" Ercan says as he shoves Kai out of his way and slings open the door. "What the hell..." All of the sudden Ercan is pulled into the cart.

"Hey!" "Ercan!""What the hell!""Crap!" His team started freaking out and running to the door. Rai walked over to Enya.

"What should we do captain?" He whispered.

"Stick with the plan and stay undercover same for everybody else. It is probably only Nandin." She responds, eyes staring at the team.

Before anyone could reach the door it flung open and in came Ercan with a gun to his head. Behind him Nandin.

"Everyone stop where you are." Nandin says in a demonic voice. But not everyone was there, Ashe had turned into a shadow and sneaked up behind him about to slice Nandin using his katana.

"Nandin move to the right!" Lani yells shooting an arrow made of wind at the shadow knocking him back.

"Lacy what was that for?" Kai looks back at the three girls, but they took off their disguises. All three had their weapons out and pointed at them. "Y-you tricked us!!" Everyone there looked furious with them.

"Oh please! You guys were just on your way to kill us!" Lani says looking right into each of their eyes. "What did you want us to do sit down and let you? Fia separate them."

"Yes mistress." Fia nods putting Kai, Ercan, Arrio , Rai, and George in the corner by Enya. She also shoved Riac, Moss, Ashe, and the knocked out Sir Atticus in a booth by Nandin. Lastly she dragged Kalila, Louis, and Corin to her area but was stopped when she was taking Mia over.

"Bring that one to me." Lani said smiling at Mia. "Oh, and don't call me mistress." She spoke to Fia glaring at her.

"What are you going to do with us?" Mia asked looking timid.

"Well my dear, none of this was planned. You can ask my sister's favorite fighter over there. Go ahead, his name is Nandin." Lani responded. "Well go on. Then shut up!" Lani yelled when Mia looked down.

"Since we are here might as well get some information out of them. Don't you think Nan?" Enya says turning to Kai.

"Yes captain, I do." Nandin responds.

"Good. No holding back then. You too Fia." Enya says sternly, while grabbing Kai.

"Yes, ma'am." Fia says picking up Corin by the collar.

"Now sweet Kai, tell me what is happening in the capital. Why hasn't new leaders been chosen yet?" Enya asks looking into his eyes. Kai tries to head butt her but she dodges. "Hehe wrong answer." Enya pulls out her brass knuckles and hits him in the gut, and drops him. "Moving on. Oh poor handsome Ercan. Won't you tell me why?" Enya asks smiling flirtatiously, batting her eyes.

"Sorry, I mean you are cute and all but you are evil." Ercan responds.

"Yeah and you are stupid." Enya says, punching him in the face. "I would call you cute but it looks like I might have messed your face up."

"Hey leave them alone!" Moss says trying to get up.

"Tch, Nan shut him up." Enya looks over her shoulder and sees his fiery eyes staring at her full of hate. Nandin hits Moss over the head with his gun.

"Oh my head.. What is going on here?" Sir Atticus finally woke up. "Hey Kai, Ercan are you ok!!" He tries to get up but Nandin shoves him back down.

"Where do you think you are going little man?" Nandin says grinning laughingly.

It's okay Nandin I got the perv." Lani says smiling at him. "Come here Sir Atticus, I will fill you in." She pats the seat next to her and Mia. He walks over, looking worriedly at Mia, and she tells him everything that has happen from the time he passed out to now. "So you see if you never saved me, we wouldn't be here now." Lani says smiling brightly. "My hero." She then plants a kiss on his cheek.

"Oh dear girl, if I known it was you would be dead right now." Sir Atticus says looking at her with disgust.

"Yes, yes I know that." Lani says rolling her eyes.

"WHat you don't seem to know is that by doing this you have stranded yourselves on this train in the middle of a lake with two highly trained teams hunting you."Sir Atticus says gritting his teeth.

"Ahh but look. They are all washed up." Lani says sweeping her arm around the train car. Nandin, Fia and Enya was continuing their interrogations.

"Another thing you fail to realize is that showing me my fallen comrades, has pissed me off." All of a sudden Sir Atticus' eyes gleamed a dark green and the air around him suddenly became thick.
