Treasurer Hunter

Chapter 15: Sabatoged

Maxs point of view

How could we have fell for such a stupid trick. I feel like such an idiot. Me and Luca go to the very edge of the stalk and have a clear path that is not full of corn. We sprint forward to the the farthest place from where we were. Right to the very corner. We stop there panting but instead of looking for the flag we dash off to our own flag.

As we grow nearer I can hear swords clashing and yelling. There'd in front of us is Jake and Katie back to back weapons drawn. I hear rustling then Cheyenne pops out and fires and arrow. It whizzes past them narrowly missing them. Then just like that she disappears back into the stalks. Again she pops and fires an arrow. It slams into Rhiannon's shin. There is almost no blood just a long scrape. She dissapears again but this time I chase after. I follow the rustling of stalks to Cheyenne. She stands a sinister grin on her face. "Attention contestants we have a rule change instead of one team moving through 5 contestants move through. Thank you."

"This doesn't change anything ." Snarles Cheyenne. I sprint at her. "You fool." She fires arrows at my head. She misses because I am so close. I swipe at her head with a dagger. She rolls backwards and fires three more arrows at me I fall flat on my stomach. All three miss but I am completely caught off guard when she runs at me. She stomps her combat boot right on my shoulder then loads her bow. She pulls back the string arrow ready to hit my gut. I squirm and kick trying to throw her off to no avail. Both her feet are on my shoulders pinning me down. She releases the string. She is off target and the arrow buries into my thigh. She then takes out her knife. She carves a C in my cheek. The blood dribbles out but she doesn't stop there she sticks the knife right in my stomach she twisted round causing emense pain. I cry out in pain and kick Cheyenne right in the head. Her head lurches back and blood pours from her nose. I take this opportunity and rip the bow from her hands. I load it clumsily and fire. It misses completely.

Again I run at her this time though I fling throwing knives at her. The Shiny knives gleam in her skin as blood pours out coating her completely. She falls to the ground in agony screaming and crying before her cannon goes off. Bloody and tired I stumble back to the others.

Jakes point of view

Max comes back beaten and bruised. I decide to leave him on defence with Luca and Rhiannon. I sprint towards the flag on the other team. I run to the very center of the field and there standing there were 2 other contestant. One is weaponless the other has a large mace. I take my dart gun out of my pocket. None of the other contestants were smart enough to take one when we picked our weapons. Crouching behind a stalk I aim at my targets. Right for the boy without a weapons gut. I put my hand on the trigger and pull. It is a perfect shot but the boy turns at the last second. It lands right in his butt. I reload my gun and run towards them weaving through stalks. Unlike the other fight we are not in a clearing. In mid stride I fire hitting the same boy. This time it lands in his thigh.

I set my gun to rapid fire and shoot in a general area hoping for a hit. I end up using the 22 other darts. On closer inspection I see that three peirced is head, two cut is neck, 9 more hit is chest, and 3 hit is legs. I have never seen someone lose so much blood. Within seconds his cannon goes off and he is already dead. I whip out my 2 sai blade from my back and turn to the other boy. He runs at me and swing the mace like a bat. It goes over my ducking head and leaves him open. My foot flies up and connects with his jaw. He merely stumbles back a step. It is my move now and with speed and precision I swing both blades from either side both racing to get to the boy first. He jumps up and comes down on me with two hands on the mace. It crashes next to me hitting the limp body causing blood to spray every where. It doesn't even faze him and he comes down again hitting the stock right next to where I was standing a second ago. He doesnt even bother to dodge the stalks he just runs over them. I cut some down trying to slow him down but he simply leaps over them. I race as fast as I can away praying that I will lose him but he just keeps comin. He swing again demolishing where I had been a second earlier. As we run farther with him swinging his mace like a madman I see a giant stalk. With as much force as I can I chop at it begging it to fall. With a hard kick it comes down burying the mammoth of a boy underneath. Yet no cannon goes off. I debate going in to kill him but decide its too risky. I turn a run the other direction trying to get the most possible space between us. There is only one thing though where is the career. I push the thought out of my head and continue running.

Rhiannons point of view

Sitting hear is such a drag. It is boring not knowing what's happening. It has only been 20 mins since Jake left but since no cannon has gone off we no be is not dead. Apparently I jinks myself because a cannon goes off. Only one more death and I am in the next round. I wait just sitting around clutching my weapon tightly. A sudden foreboding feeling hits me and my brain screams get out of here. I listen and casually stand up. "Where do you think your going." A voice says from behind me. I turn around and see Luca standing daggers in his hands grinning. Max is no where to be found. I draw my trident and slowly back away. Out of the corner of my eye I see a single black gleam. I dive out of the way just in time as a throwing knife buried itself in a stalk. "You did not just do that." I question. Luca only nods is head and smiles. This ticks me off and I leap at him. Sticking the trident in his his thigh. He gasps then slashes my arm. He clearly didn't expect me to do that. I flinch when the blade eneters my arm but I grip it and rip it out of Lucas hand. I press the dagger against in throat. He brings his knee up and slams my jaw causing me to drop the dagger. I kick the dagger behind the stalks so that Lica can't get it. I Take a deep breath and charge. Just like posidon I hold the trident in one hand level to my head. I sprint for him gracefully moving past the stalks. I am almost there when I feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I push on and shishkabob is shoulder. I then put my foot against his chest and kick him backwards as I pry out my trident. He slams a dagger in my throat as I pull it out. I gasp for breath trying to get oxygen. I manage to get a lungs worth and bring my trident into Lucas chest. I hear a cracking noise then fall to the ground my trident impaled in Lucas chest and my knife right where his stone cold heart should be. I hear a cannon and wonder whos it is. That is my last thought.
