Chapter 38

Nick's P.O.V

I grab my gun and head out into the forest. There are tree forts up high and I climb up and pick one.

"There already have been traps set up for each color. If you get hit three times your out!" A man says through the speakers.

Aha! there have been traps set up everywhere. So some traps are my color.

It's just us nine. We picked a game for ourselves. And even though its a huge space we have excellent hearing and eyesight.

Plus we can use the pack link. The man on the speakers comes on again:

"Guns ready? Get set, Fire away!"

A gun shot is heard from the base house.

I look over and see a small dot running across the field to this part of the forest.

It's Daisy! She's holding a red gun! The bright colors give her away.

I aim my gun and.............

BAM! I see the figure fall to the ground. Speaker guy talks again.

"Red! Only two more shots and you're out!"

I quickly hide so she can't see me. She runs in the other direction, I pull my gun onto my back with the strap on my shoulder.

I climb down the tree house and see if I can have an alliance with anyone.

The first person that comes to my head.

Chase.

Maya's P.O.V

I pick a hiding spot in the rocky part of the field that's close to the forest edge.

One of the rocks looks fake and is quite bigger than the others.

I look on the other side of it to see paintballs of each of our colors. "Sweet!" I whisper, "its a jackpot!"

I guess I said that too loud because when I turn around I see a figure holding a gun with dark blue balls (hehe)

"Ivy don't shoot!" I whisper. Suddenly the speakers come on,

"Red! Only two more shots and you're out!"

She lowers her gun and I show her the stash of everything.

We made a truce and she runs off back into the forest.

I use my vampire speed and run fast enough so all I am is a blur.

I am NOT making anymore truces or alliances with anyone.

Suddenly when I stop running I see a yellow paintball splatter the ground next to me.

I smile and see that Jack is trying to kill me and get me out of the game.

Alex's P.O.V

I frantically run around not knowing where to go. 'Red' just got shot and I can't pick to go up into the tree house or behind a rock.

Treehouse it is!

I climb the ladder and let my green gun sway behind me on my back.

When I get to the top. Not what I was expecting.

One!

On my arm.

Two!

On my stomach.

Three!

On my face.

Luckily my pair of goggles blocked it from my eyes but.

"Green! Return to the base house and wait for the next round." The speaker mans voice rings in my ears.

I look up at who it is.

Maddie.

"Maddie! You HAD to let me down!" I whine.

"The first on was a trap. I just cut the string. " She takes out a claw.

I nod.

I jump down the ladder and target Maddie for the next round.

Ooooohh she is going to get it!

Ivy's P.O.V

I wonder through the forest keeping my senses up.

Suddenly I've been feeling really confident and like no one can stop me from winning the first round.

My birthday is coming up pretty soon. I take a whiff of the warm March air.

Suddenly the hairs on the back of my neck sit up. I hear a branch crack.

I turn to see Chase aiming at me. He's looking the other way so I use this as an advantage. I start to pull the trigger-

" I wouldn't shoot." Chase says flatly and points upward, my eyes travel up to where his finger is pointing.

A big balloon that's the color red.

I look down and see that if I step any further the balloon will be triggered.

Is this the end of the first round for me?

Daisy's P.O.V

Nick! He is the one I have to get in the next round. I could tell that shot was him with his black paintballs.
