Survival Game
chapter 1:where is this place
Claire
*holds her head* where am I
As she sat up and looked around to see unfamiliar faces on the ground to all in confusion
Murmurs made the place noisy as they began questioning each other
A little girl beside me woke up afraid of the new environment started crying
Ariel
Mummy....sob.....mummy where are you .....sob....please don't leave me.... I'll be a good girl
Claire
*focusing on the murmurs and the wails of the girl* we all speak the same language
Claire
Little girl what's your name?
Ariel
Ariel....um...do you know where my mum is?
Claire
No but I can keep you company while you search for her maybe......
A paradoxical laughter erupted from the abandoned building facing us as a masked man appeared
masked man
*opening his arms wide and in a cheerful sarcastic voice* Welcome Welcome Welcome Welcome to our new and fantastic game.
random man
Do we look like we have time to play silly games. Am late for work you crazy person
masked man
*In a deranged voice while scratching his head furiously* crazy he called me crazy what shall we do he called us crazy
In a speed of light he was at the man's side holding his detached head
masked man
We don't like to be interrupted wait until I finish *changing his to a more cheerful tone he continued* now where was I ...oh yes...this is a game of survival of the fittest...giggling....only the smartest or the strongest or even the foolish can survive
Claire
*why does all my senses tell me to run away from this man but my body is paralyzed in fear*
masked man
but don't worry we'll give you one week to adjust to the environment then the real fun will start.....laughing deliriously
masked man
Have fun *and with those few words he disappeared with a snap of a finger*
murmurs filled the air again as more people begun joining into groups
Luther
we accept strong able men only *pushing an old man out of his way as more people joined his side*
Claire
*thinking* he said adjusting to the environment....adjusting mmh….... An idea came to mind
Claire
Ariel do you mind following me
Ariel
shaking her head as she held my hand tightly
Both of them went around surveying the area.
Claire
Ariel look a supermarket!
Ariel
Can we get something to eat am kinda hungry
Claire
Sure let's go loot....shopping time *in a fun voice*
making sure no one was around they took most of the canned food and clothes and hid most of them. Satisfied with the work they went around surveying more parts
Ariel
do you think I'll be able to find my mom..*in a sad tone*
Claire
I hope we do but we must survive in order to look for your mum...let's go look for something to protect ourselves with
Ariel
*in a puzzled look* protect?
Claire
I learned it from my dad if you are in unknown place look for food and something to protect you first
Claire
if this place was once inhabited by human like us then there must be a place with weapons
After a couple of turns around the building they found a place filled with weapons
Ariel
aaah! May I take this *holding a black bow in joy*
Claire
Do you know how to use it?
Ariel
*in a confident tone* Hehehehe... Do you know I was the winner in continental archery championship
Claire
Woow well you better take the arrows behind you then
Handing her the black quiver full of arrows to her... A display caught her attention not listening to Ariel she strode towards the wall
Claire
they are beautiful!
Ariel
what is? *looking around in confusion as she asked Claire again* what are you looking at
Claire stretched her trembling hand to touch the display
Claire
Never in my wildest dreams would i think to find such a legend here...I ...I though they were myths told by my dad but...
Taking one of them into her shaking hands
Claire
One of the seven swords of life...the Yang
Ariel
and what about the rest what are their names then
pointing at the black one
Claire
Is known as the Yin or the black dragon
Claire
Is known as the Akai or the red dragon
Pointing at the one below it
Claire
This is called The Ao or the blue dragon
Claire
Then this is called the Midori or the green dragon
Claire
And then the other two are called the Murasaki or the purple dragon and the Kiiro or the yellow dragon
Claire
I'll take all of them *in a delightful tone as the combined all of them into a bag she took from the counter*
As they were about to leave a small leather pouch caught Claire's eyes as the description was written 'portable space bag' on the price tag below.
Claire
Space bag? *taking the pouch in hand to examine it engulfed the bag she had and in shock she stood there appalled of what had happened
Ariel
Where did your bag go?
Claire
Um...in here?..... Ariel would you hand over your luggage please
As she gave her the bow and quivers, she placed them in front of the pouch, and instantly they were engulfed
Claire
*in a glad tone* Ariel we've hit a jack pot take all the things you need, we'll put them here
Ariel
um....sure... *picking more quivers and bows and giving Claire to store
Claire
Lets head back before dark comes its not safe at night
Tracing their way back they took the things they hid in the supermarket before heading to where the rest were
Claire
Hiiii I am Claire Wren a 20 year old student doing a degree in Anatomy before being dragged here
Ariel
Hiii am Ariel Willows a 13 year old i really like Claire, I consider her as my big sister ...hehehe...I hope i find my mom ooh did I mention i was the winner in continental archery championship
chapter 2: let the game begin
masked man
Hey hey hey rise and shine my players... It's a new and exciting day *in a cheerful yet chilling voice which woke us from our sleep
masked man
I know that you have adjusted to your new environment time for some little fun don't you think. If you need more time well *changing his mask to a sad expression* too bad no extra time.....*changing back to his normal mask* now 10 minutes for preparation before the game starts good luck..... *clapping his hands while laughing deliriously* ....you'll all be needing it
as he walked back into one of the buildings a larger digital timer appeared above us as the timer counted down 10 minutes
Luther
All of you go collect any weapon you will find and bring them here now
Packing both of our sleeping bags hurriedly and putting them in the space bag Ariel looked at me puzzled
Ariel
Why are we not giving him our wea......
Claire
Shhhhh! Don't tell him we have anything *covering her mouth*
Claire
Don't tell anyone about out stuff promise
Holding out my pinky to her
Ariel
Promise! *as she interlocked hers with mine
Luther
*pushing us out of the way* we don't have time for hand gestures go look for weapons or else you and your child can forget about protection
Walking away to get thing in order I tugged Ariel to a rather far building and signaled her we climb the stairs
Ariel
Aren't we joining the others?
Claire
You know my dad taught me rather than waiting in groups its best to hide and observe the unknown in order to attack or escape
Reaching the top of the building a vast wasted buildings is what came to view everywhere they looked
Claire
Man i wish we had a phone or a drone it would have come in handy
Ariel
Well I used to operate a drone with my brother before he went to military duties. But now I don't even know if they are alive *in a sad tone*
Claire
Hey, hey there now, I too don't know if my dad is alive, but I hope he is doing his best to find me. Don't worry you've got me
Interrupted by a large horn like sound the timer reset itself to 2-hour period then quietness filled the area
Suddenly a large earthquake erupted from the ground as squeaky sounds filled the air
Luther
Here they come! men get ready! the rest of you hide in that building *pointing at a nearer building at his side*
random man
What the hell is that
random female
Aaarh there are more behind it
it produced a large screech as the rest started advancing towards the group
random man
They are biting away the metallic shields!
The scenery was cascading very fast as they started pelting the creatures with anything they found
chapter three: First game
Luther
We need to hold on for another one hour we can do this.....
masked man
*Interrupting Luther* this is too easy how about a bit of spice *laughing sarcastically as he snapped his finger
random female
Please sir spare us
the creatures surrounded where they had climbed as the men tried stabbing the ones which climbed onto the debris
random man
Yes please spare us one of my friend has died I don't want to die!
A gust of wind headed their way accompanied by weird noises
masked man
Ooops! Too late 😂😂 see you after an hour
Luther
run further into the building now
Ariel
Should we help them Claire?
Claire
Not now wait a little longer here take this
Handing her a bow and some arrows
Claire
according to what I've gathered is that these creatures are similar to a cat and rats in our world right
Ariel
*Catching on* cat chase rats
Claire
We just need to stop the ones that come after the group
Claire
Do you know how to shoot moving targets Ariel?
Ariel
Of course, it was part of my training practice just a little shaken up by their sight
random female
Someone is helping us from somewhere
Luther
*shouting* whoever you are please help us
Claire
*shouting* defend yourself
Both struck by shock unable to move
Claire
I'll distract it continue helping the others
Retracting a black sword from the space pouch
Claire
*unsheathing* I call upon the power of the black dragon *holding it vertically*
circling around Claire it launched at her
Claire
Aarh *launching towards it too*
Claire
Focus on shooting them down I'll be fine *striking its ribs*
*ding ding* the timer rings as a count down of 10seconds starts
Claire
*taking a final strike* what's that
masked man
that was fun right*laughing hysterically* now now now how many are you remaining
masked man
*pretending to count his fingers* too many how about deaths.....yes deaths are more fun...*changing his mask to a sad one* 40 dead *shaking his head* oh no he has lost a bet...a bet ...yes he lost a bet
random female
*whispering to person close to her* is he okay
masked man
*laughing* aah yes yes yes where was i..... 2weeks of rest is okay for you bye bye now
random man
what the hell was all that I want to go home
random female
But how did we get here in the first place
Claire
*wiping her sword against its fur* are you okay Ariel?
Ariel
Just tired I've never shot so many arrows like today
Claire
Good work come help me look at this *pointing at the corpse of the dead creature
dissecting the corpse she took its teeth and fur and stored them in the space bag before returning both the sword and bow in too
Nodding in agreement both went back to the group as Claire tore a piece of her cloth and tied around the wound on her left upper arm
