Zoë turned her back on the black haired boy, not because she was afraid, not particularly because she hated boys even. She needed to get the flag, Phoebe sat with a never girl who had been attacked, their other teammate had left and she was the only one able to get the flag. She didn't mind what happened to the never in honesty, she'd prefer that the poor girl didn't die but if she didn't Zoë knew she wouldn't dwell on it, she was worried for phoebe. She knew Phoebe was a strong girl but she was like her sister, she needed to protect her. The Tidal pool held a flag and she knew it, she just needed to take a chance and dive, if she held her breath long enough she'd find herself with the flag in her possession and she could return to the girls. The Tidal pool was intimidating but Zoë felt someone approaching in front of her, she caught a glimpse of blonde hair, the boy didn't see her yet. She couldn't waste an arrow with the amount of enemies crawling around and hiding. Zoë closed her eyes and with a deep breath, she jumped in.  The first thing she felt was cold, the water surrounded her weighing her, and it tore her down into its depths. It ripped and tore in direction for moments before it stopped completely, Zoë dropped into a calm pool, scraping her knee's the flag was right there, the escape path beside it. Her hand grasped it, she'd win this for Phoebe and they'd both be proud. She ran. She found herself in the Pumpkin patch, she ran as fast as she could with the stupid flag in her hand, feet landing in and sinking into pumpkin's, it squelched into her shoes through holes and tears, she shivered as she ran on the water in her skin and clothes met cold air as she ran making it only colder, she ran through the indigo underbrush at full speed, the only thing on her mind was protecting Phoebe, her legs began to burn from running as she made it into the Cyan caves. She went left, Phoebe was okay, the never girl sat up and smiled weakly.
"Your okay"Zoë exhaled a breath she was unaware she held
Phoebe smiled as she pulled out her handkerchief the never following and Zoë pulled her own out.
She smiled lightly as they all hit the floor.
Zoë saw the stars above her as she reached the school yard full of harmed students, only one group had a flag apart from her own. Phoebe smiled to her and Zoë looked back up at the stars, the lights were always pretty and magnificent, she loved them.
