The Game Of Chase Novels & Stories

gripped my clutch so tight my fingers ached. Cameras flashed nonstop, catching Sebastian’s face in perfect focus. His smile was effortless, his stride confident. Everyone’s eyes were on him. And me? Invisible. “Mr. Banks, over here,” someone called. He didn’t bother turning. I fell into step behind him, heels clicking softly against marble. “Sebastian,” I said, hoping for even the smallest acknowledgment. “The Huang Group asked if you’d meet them tomorrow.”

I whispered, speed-walking down the stairs and out of the English building. “What is it? Did something happen? And why are you whispering?” “I’m whispering because I don’t want to look like a lunatic.” I said, sitting on an empty bench next to the building. “Callum, Jace freaking Adams is in my English class.” I gushed. “Chase who?” He asked. I shook my head, forgetting that he couldn’t see me. “Cal, I said Jace. Jace Adams the actor. He’s in that ridiculous action movie you love.”

I didn't over think it though. After a little while, the next game was announced as 'Hide and Seek'. First off, that wasn't even a sport. Secondly.... What was the catch? "Excuse me", Freya raised a hand. "Who exactly is hiding and who is seeking?" "Good question, please step out". She gestured to Freya who came out without the least bit of worry. "You too". She pointed to me and then to another girl from the last school. "Now, play rock-paper-scissors". She took a few steps back.

My heart's thumping, my lungs pumping. Fuck this... ... and I roll and twist, leaping to my feet, Glock in my swinging hand, seeking a target. The shadow retreats into the shadows behind the lights, but my brain's working now, my thinking clear and I hear something skitter off, ahead of me and to my right... What's the game? What are the rules? I'm supposed to chase? And what if I do? I need time to think. Time to look...

I took a deep breath and began to make this game of chase more exciting. I chased after Godiva, who was taking cover behind Pollux’s body, and I chuckled softly. Unable to reach Godiva, I pushed Pollux’s body aside to get out of my way. I lunged at Godiva like a wolf pouncing on its prey. We fell together onto the bed, with my hand managing to grab the camera from Godiva’s hand. “Gotcha!” “Castor wants to catch you, not the camera. I’d better get going. Enjoy your night.”

Perhaps, for her lips to show no sign of speech meant that she acknowledged the fact that Ayra had attended more Chases of Fate than anyone present. With confidence, Ayra proceeded. “The Chase of Fate is mainly a ‘capture the flag race,’” she glanced at the lowborns, recognizing their yet still confused expressions. “It means that different teams or people race to a flag, and whoever captures the flag wins.” Mordeu and Fjall both nodded their heads in understanding. Ayra sighed in relief before she continued. “However, this Chase is different.” “How so?” Mordeu inquired. Ayra cleared her throat. “Well, for one, capturing the flag doesn’t make you the winner. This chase works with points. And

Things got even more awkward when the host started broadcasting the game that would be played by all the visitors. "The name of the game is Chase the Prey, Feed the Wolves. Everyone who gets a wolf mask will chase animals that wolves usually prey on, like rabbits, cats, squirrels, and so on. The number of wolves and prey animals has been calculated so all wolves will get one prey animal. Is that understood?" "Yes! Let's do it!" "This will be very exciting!" "Can I catch anyone?" "You are free to catch anyone as long as you follow the rules. There will be a prize for the fastest. How about it?"

Archie said before he quickly stepped out leaving me and my sons in the large study. I faced my beautiful sons who stared at me with excitement at the thought of a game. "How about we play a game of hide and seek. You two will hide inside this study for an hour and if I don't find any of you, the one I didn't find will be given a special surprise." I explained the game. "What is the surprise?" Jamie asked as I laughed. "That's why it's called a surprise son. Your not to tell anyone till you receive it." I explained as he opened his mouth.

After a few minutes, Ingrid spoke again. “I know this might not be the right time to tell you this, but you are going to be an escort for Lorenzo tomorrow night.” “What?” Evie eyes widened and her heart started beating fast. “Yes. He wants you to be his date to the gala he’s hosting tomorrow night.” Evie shook her head. “You mean I’m going to see that monster again?”

“You’re really bad at this.” “I know, I know. You don’t have to rub it in.” I laughed, and threw another ball up the ramp to the holes on the ski-ball machine. I made another shot in the fifty point hole, earning a disappointed groan from Chase. “You have to be cheating. I don’t know how, but you have to be.” He says as he tries, and fails, to make another throw into any of the holes. “Damn.” He tsks, shaking his head as the game declares me the winner. He looks over to me, and gives me a grin. “I’m being put to shame right now. Aren’t you supposed to let me win on the first date?”
