There's a wall. A wall of glass that forms four squares. This is game called The Walls. But this time, there's something different. Different about everything.
My team with Zoey, we can see into others squares because of the glass. During gathering some wood I notice Martyn and Toby's team. I see him glanfe over at me. And then its like times stopped. Our eyes lock. But there's no hositlity or hunger for victory.
Only passion. And love. And pain.
You see, me and Martyn had been dating for awhile, about a year now. And it'll hurt so much seeing me plunge a sword into him. Or when he's forced to kill me. Or seeing another kill him. I couldn't bear the thought. I looked around and then glanced at the timer. Twenty minutes left. Better share some words to him.
I stop grabbing some wood and walk over to the wall of glass. I see Martyn quickly copy my actions and walk over, pressing a hand on the wall. I do the same. "...its gonna be okay. Right Rythian?" He asks softly. I nod, "of course my sapling. Its just a game, we'll respawn. Everything will be okay. I promise." He nods and hears Toby I guess. He takes one more look at me before rushing off.
I stand there until I hear Zoey call for me. I grab some wood and rush over to make it see like I was working. I look at the clock, ten minutes left. "Yeah Zoey?" I call out.
"Rythian! I got us some armor! Get over here and get it on! I also made us diamond swords! We can enchant them! Come on!" I shake my head and break into a small smile. Even if somethings deady she knows how to make light of it.
~~~~~~
"Ready Zoey?" She nods, "hold on, let me get Barry for good luck!" She says quickly grabbing her red shroom and putting it on her head. It seem to grow legs and latches onto her helmet. Creepy. Creepy crazy. The walls drop and me and Zoey rush to the middle grabbing some potions of harming and regeneration. Then almost immeditly where attacked by Duncan and Kim, I pull out my sword and Duncan smirks rushing at me, holding a diamond sword as well. Kim goes for me as well, trying to take out the bigger foe, clever Duncan.
Our swords clash and I kick Kim. In this game there is no mercy. Duncan looked at Kim making him weak for a moment and I slash his armor making him fall. I smirk and plunge ilmy sword into his neck. Kim screams, I don't blame her. Its a pretty grusome site. She goes over to Duncan and holds him close, suddenly her flux glows bright and she looks at me, she pulls out her sword and runs straight at Zoey stabbing her out of surpirse. And my surprise too.
She pulls it out, and Zoey drops. Dead. I look at Kim and go for her, she dodges with ease thanks to her small size, suddenly I feel a little low on potions and notice she has my potion of poisioning. She's about to drop it when an arrow goes straight through her head. Her eyes widen and she drops to her knees. Then to the ground. I look over and see Martyn and Toby. Martyn had just fired an arrow. I stare at him and run off. I could kill Toby, no problem, but I gotta heal first.
I stop by a tree and sit down, making sure there's no one around before oulling out some wool i had in my invortory and dab some of my wounds Kim left. I flinch a bit on contact then breath out.
After cleaning my wounds I hear a small stream. I then relize how thirsty I am and pull out a small bottle and walk over to the sound. Sure enough, there's a stream. I smile and sit down putting some water into the bottle. I look a round and again, my eyes are locked with Martyn's. He looks at me and I look at him.
I get up and walk over to him. "Martyn...hey thanks for the save back there." He smiles and nods. "No problem Rythian." I smile and take his hand and wrap my fingers in his. He blush and pecks my nose making me blush. I smile and lean down toward him and kiss him deeply.
"I love you.." I whisper, "I love you too Rythian..."suddenly I hear the whoosh of an arrow and turn around seeing Toby. Martyn reacts instaintly, "Toby! Its cool! Rythian's cool!" He shouts. He doesn't lower his bow but he comes over.
"Martyn. This is a game. Last team and or person standing wins." Martyn nods, "I know. But Rythian...he's a good fighter, he can help us. Then we'll dual it out fair and square." Toby looks at Martyn then at me. A hint of jealousy going through his eyes. Then suddenly his eyes turn a bright green, like Martyn's when he's mad. But, there's something different about it. I back away but its too late. Toby's thrown his sword through my head.
Martyn's screams are the last thing I hear before going to the void to respawn.
~~~~~~
In the end, I do respawn, Martyn's team wins. But its obvious he's not happy with Toby. Duncan also scoulds Toby, and he claims he can't remember what happened. He said he just blacked out or something.
But hey. Its just a game. The Walls.
