Howl

Chapter 37

Lucy's P.O.V

"Paintball?" Alex asks. I nod eagerly. I am not telling them about how good I am at it but soon enough they'll find out.

I laugh. "Yes paintball you dummy!" I shout at him playfully. Nick scratches the back of his head and says oddly nervously:

"Uhmm well you heard the girl, lets go play some paintball." Nick chuckles nervously.

We all file into two cars, one with Blondie [Chase] driving. The other with flower girl, [Daisy]

I hop into flower girls car with Nick, Alex, and these two younger girls. [Maddie and Ivy]

Flower girl drives and I sit in the passenger seat. Leaving the others with the little girls.

It didn't take that long to get there and I enjoyed the ride very much. I turned the music loud and laughed as Nick and Alex were being tortured by two singing little girls.

The roar of my own laughter rumbled through the car.

I step out of the car and fall, "you-you-your faces!" I stutter.

Nick blushes and chuckles. "C'mon! lets go get some guns!" I think it's Jack, yeah Jack.

I grab my favorite color, white. I look around and see that, Maya got pink, Chase got light blue , Jack got yellow, Maddie got purple, Ivy got dark blue, Alex got green, Nick got black, Daisy got red.

When I pick up my gun I feel a spark and something rushes through my body.

Suddenly I see my life flash before my eyes.

I see a red headed baby with a mother and a little boy. I recognize the mother as the Moon Goddess.

I see a boy chasing a girl and happily playing.

Then I see a mom crying as fireballs fly through the air. She's handing a young child to another woman.

Then all I see is myself holding my paint gun in an arena.

**********************************

"Aha! take this Blondie!" I say and pretend to shoot Chase because the game hasn't started.

We all run off into the forest and find our hiding places. ........
