AVENAOn the way out, Marco and I had a little chit-chat. It was just him asking me about my life the past few years, how the other pack had been and if I remembered my memory. It was nice that I was talking to him and he was just as fun as the little I could remember from back then.We turned around the corner and then reached the large grassy field, which was just beside the schoolyard, away from the parking lot, to see that a huge deep box had been positioned at one end of it, filled with sand. The box looked a bit spacious like it could contain at least fifteen people in it. And I wondered why it was here. I guessed everyone was thinking the same thing because they started to murmur amongst themselves. “Why is there so much sand in there?” I said and Sera mumbled something. Just then, I noticed Isaac’s presence and spun around. I locked eyes with him immediately and his eyes were glaring directly at me. I could also feel the annoyance and slight jealousy through our bond. And I

AVENAAfter the announcement, a random lot was drawn to determine which two teams would compete against whom and as if fate really wanted to see both Isaac and Marco fight, the two packs were competing against each other. I saw a devious smirk spread on Isaac’s lips and felt a little prick of uneasiness embarrass me. I only hoped he wasn’t up to anything mischievous.We stood in a straight line to determine our order to play. Strength and gender were irrelevant now because it didn’t matter whether or not the person you were up against was male or female or stronger or weaker. You just had to fight them. Some said it was cruel, to me, I didn't really mind.My eyes went to my partner and it was a girl from another class. She was a head taller than I was and a little more muscular. She had her brown hair pulled back in a bun and her arms folded, scanning the area and assembling students. She seemed to have noticed me staring at her and then turned to meet my gaze. Her dark eyebrows shot

AVENAI dashed into the sand immediately. I just had to dodge her and be as fast as I could. As long as I was fast on my feet, I’d have the advantage and me being smaller in weight than her seemed to give me another advantage. The sand was heavy on my legs than I expected but I tried to keep my feet light and make me way through it as fast as possible. My heart pounded in my chest and Sage didn’t seem to be disturbed surprisingly or want to be let out how she did some times when I trained alone. This made me worry less as I didn’t have to think about her randomly spouting out and ending the game for me even before it started. Instead it gave me a little space in my brain to notice the dry dusty air that was settling in my throat busily. As I ran and gazed forward, the only thing in my central vision being the rolled up scroll, I knew I had to get it and most especially, get it fast. I was almost there, arms stretched out forward and my fingertips almost halfway on the scroll that I

AVENAMarco took off but in a second, Isaac had jammed him into the ground with a rough pull. I saw Marco mumble something and get up while Isaac just stood, relaxed and unbothered like he had not just slammed him into the ground. Soon, Marco was up on his feet again and headed towards the scroll. Isaac charged towards him but this time, Marco threw a leg backwards making Isaac loose his balance and fall to the ground. There was a reaction from the crowd and while the Mystic pack hailed Marco, the Silvermoon pack hyped up Isaac to get up.“Watch carefully now for his final move, he just got serious.” Sera said to me from where she stood by my side.“Who? You mean Isaac?” I asked her just as I watched Isaac stand up with an indifferent expression now and run after Marco.“Yup.” Sera replied.In a twinkle of an eye, Isaac was behind Marco. He was faster than he was when the game had just started and actually looked like he was finally becoming serious with it. Marco stretched out his ha

AVENAI shifted uncomfortably trying to distract myself from the fact that I was freaking sitting on his thighs. I took a bite off my apple first, and in all honesty, it felt like I was chewing on metal and struggling to swallow because of the nervousness I felt. "Y'all going to the playhouse Saturday morning?" Beck asked, breaking the silence. "Don't even get me started," Caius groaned, covering his face with his hands for a second. "My dad's on my neck. He wants me to train five hours instead of four on Saturday mornings, F-I-V-E." He spelt out. "I'd see Y'all Sunday. That's if my legs don't get shrivelled up before then." "Five hours? That's a piece of cake," Beck replied, nudging Caius, who immediately lifted a Clenched fist and aimed it at him. "Sorry sorry, I'm joking." Beck laughed, opening his bottle of water. "Still traumatised from the last time you hit my face."Caius relaxed his fist and instead ruffled his fingers through Beck's hair, "That's what I was aiming for," H
