(Naomi)
I walked out of the room with a Japanese mouth mask Erica gave me. I wasn't labeled as Quarantine anymore.
Erica walked by my side, smiling softly all the way.
**********************************************************************************
I hugged my tallest fathers' leg since I was short as heck. He smiled softly.
"You know your sister had a baby right...? She wants you to meet him as soon as possible." He smiled. "He's the cutest thing ever! He's so small!" Erica smiled brightly.
....
"He's....cute." I smiled softly. Bianca nodded, stroking the small hairs on masons' head. "What's The Gauntlet?" I asked all of a sudden.
"A bunch of bloodshed kiddo. It's like the hunger games but instead if you win you fight your partner in the duo challenge. If one out of you and your partner wins: you gain something." Bianca explained.
"But Zoe joined it....TELL ME SHE CAN GET OUT OF THAT COMPETITION." Juno said, his eyes welling up with tears. "Not unless you two join. I hear they have better weapons now." Bianca said.
**********************************************************************************
(Zoe)
I saw both of my fathers at the Sign In Booth. Holy Ametri they were joining. "You need to choose a good color. It defines your category. Presentation is key~" Juno cooed. "I see you two are joining. What strategy do you have?" Ivan asked.
"A demonic kind of surprise if you catch my drift." Dad chuckled. "Good luck to you both. I bought us a room by the way. Let's go before-" max stopped himself.
"MIJO, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO THIS DANGEROUS EVENT! NO WAY IN HELL!" A certain lady screeched.
**********************************************************************************
(Juno)
I chuckled softly and handed the room card to Zoe. Both vare an and Zoe walked to the room.
"So help me I'll get your father here and drag you home!" She scolded him.
He let out a deep sigh.
"Mamá! Déjame hacer esto por una vez! ¿Dejas que tus hijas hagan esto y yo no puedo? Eso es loco! Soy un hombre adulto y merezco mi libertad! Ya no puedo ser mimada por mi propia madre ... tienes que aprender a detener a mamá. Por favor!" He spoke quickly.
His mother glared her eyes at him.
"So help me if you die I'll never forgive you. I'll never forgive myself." She growled. Max kissed the top of her head and smiled softly.
"Te amo mama~" he cooed, slowly grabbing my hand and walking off.
**********************************************************************************
I opened a bottle of wine and poured it in a glass.
Both Ivan and Zoe stared at me oddly.
"What? You both can have some too. One rule: No Rules. Accept a murder before The Gauntlet happens." I smirked, sipping a bit of wine.
"Hey dad. Why do you wear those earrings? Do they cloak something?" Zoe asked, grabbing a glass. Ivan poured wine for her.
"Almost. But I get to take them off..." I said, immediately taking the earrings off. Two curled horns appeared, a small smile appearing on my lips. "Alright then: cheers. Good luck in the competition kids." I chuckled deeply.
"Why is he laughing like that...?" Ivan asked. "His brother and Juno himself were the reining victors ever since this was made. Mavis owns this place so he'll pay a visit. And the laugh is because of the alcohol. Drinks to much and his brain gets all loopy." Max smirked.
**********************************************************************************
"Welcome garbage of the century. This is the weapon depot. Choose one and use it right or else." A man spoke, growling at the end of it.
I stepped forward, staring into his eyes.
"Avian Drake. Number 57. I remember when I took you out. All the blood. And especially your face. Fucking hell right? I used a trident: the most useful weapon unnoticed in my hands. You make me sick!" I yelled, strutting over to the weapons table.
Avian bit his lip and looked away.
I grabbed shock bracelets and put them on.
"Choose or die. That's the motto." I muttered.
**********************************************************************************
"Welcome one and all to The Gauntlet!" The intercom said.
Max helped me climb up a tree, I helped him afterwards.
"This year we have new tricks! First off: THAT WAS THE TRICK! EVERY RULE THAT APLIED LAST HERE APPLIES HERE!" The intercom chuckled. I rolled my eyes as max kissed my cheek.
"And....BEGIN!" The intercom said, shutting off afterwards. Max placed an arrow in his crossbow and...shot someone in the head. The person fell to the ground and stayed there.
"Ready...?" Max asked, holding my earrings in his hands. I nodded and jumped from the tree.
"The beast is out and get ready everyone! This year he's extra violent! Whoever kills him first ends the game for today!" The intercom instructed.
**********************************************************************************
Imagine a big beast with large claws for hands and feet, enormous horns, and crimson eyes. That's me.
I let out a rupturing roar and swung my tail towards a tree, causing it to knock down.
An army of people came running towards me, holding different kinds of weapons.
I stayed half of the people.
Ivan held a gun and was yelling orders to Zoe.
**********************************************************************************
(Ivan)
"Zoe go run! GO!" I yelled, cocking my gun afterwards. "Don't shoot him!" She cried.
"Zoe...I'm sorry...." I murmured, placing my finger on the trigger.
The monster fell to his side,groaning and moaning with pain.
I herd a yell, a few actually, as a man jumped from a tree.
**********************************************************************************
(Maxwell)
I let out an ear piercing cry and jumped from the tree. I ran over to his dissolving body, slowly caressing his cheek. I felt tears running down my cheeks and slowly onto his face.
A slight smirk appeared on his lips.
"Win this for us....please...?" He asked.
I help him close as the whole arena stayed silent.
"Ladies and gentlemen....The game is over for tonight....please go to your rooms until further notice. Next game will start sooner or later." The intercom said in a monotone voice.
**********************************************************************************
I ran my fingers through my hair, tears dropping onto the floor.
"He's...alright sir. He's at peak condition. He's not that well right now but....he's recovering at a good rate." The nurse said, smiling softly at me.
I nodded slowly and trudged towards my room.
I collapsed onto my bed and drowned myself in tears.
