Star-Crossed Alphas ✔️

Chapter 31

The game starts.

Everyone does their best to cross "The Danger Path" without getting it but only a few lucky ones actually get through. Romeo and I weren't letting them have it easy. We were ruthless, hitting one after the other.

These last weeks we have been teaching them agility and speed and now was the time for them to prove us that they actually learned something during that time. The crowd was loud, all were cheering for their favorites. There was this energy in the air, I couldn't even explain it was just...electrifying.

Romeo and I, we're making them sweat for a reason, not only to put in action what they learned but also to learn to work as a team, to strategize, take chances. In real life it's life or death, they had to overcome whatever obstacle is thrown in their way and move pass it.

The teams were getting tired, we could tell, and there weren't many left. They were given a two minute break to drink water and strategize. This was their last change, blue team versus green team, who will win? Or will they both go home losers?

At this point there weren't just the kids watching. Our game had caught the attention of the school's faculty and a few more students had come to see what the commotion was all about. We weren't trying to be discrete anymore. Both our Alphas would learn soon enough what was transpiring in their packs, we could only hope that we did enough with the short time we had with our packs.

I see both team chatter, both were focused planning their next move. I see each team have proclaimed their one leader, I find this insightful quite curious and memorize their chosen leader in my head, so I wouldn't forget their faces. Both teams break away and I can see a new determined look on their faces. Good, they were on to something. I look at Romeo and see he was noticing the same thing as I was.

Things were about to get interesting.

The game started again. I see both leaders commanding their players to their positions, and then...then they surprise the shit out of me. The blue team started running in position to the Danger Path, all screaming as if they were about to go into war. I point my gun and prepare to shoot. The second their foot step the yellow floor I started shooting but they immediately scattered in groups of two, making our job harder, The green team took the chaos and used it for their advantage. They too marched over the yellow path.

I kept shooting one over the other, some fall other's pushed themselves in front of their teammates so they could carry on and reach the end of the yellow path. I understood their plan now. They were sacrificing themselves, protect the player with the ball. They were giving their lives so that their team could win.

The green team was using their fresh knowledge of speed and agility to pass by using their adversaries as pawns so that they get hit instead of them. Finally they were showing us some kind of competition!

I shoot as fast as I could and hit as many as I was able. Both teams took heavy losses, but their risky move paid off, three players from the blue team had manage to cross safely and four players from the green them were running as fast as they could to the finish line. All me, Romeo and all the other players and crowd could do now was watch and see who crossed the finish line.

Both teams had few people guarding their side of the field, four players on each side to be exact. The players from the green team got cocky, they thought they had it, and they almost had, but they forgot one very important thing. They stop working together. It was all man on their own over there, all wanted to be the first to arrive, and that was why all of them got caught before crossing the entire field. Now the blue team, they were three players against four. The odds were against them, but they remember to work together. The leader position himself in the middle while the other two position themselves slightly in front of him, protecting him from the others, so that he wasn't caught.
