The Winners Novels & Stories

There were two more pairs as we waited patiently. Soon everyone were done. We were called upon the stage as the judge were coming to a decision. And finally they did. I anticipated for the decision. They started by the 3rd followed by the 2nd. My breathing became rigid as we weren't in either. "And the winner is...." the host dragged on. "Amelia and Ash." I was astonished and surprised. We actually won. I was so shocked that I didn't realize they were calling. Guess who is giving out the award. Damien. Ash was the first one to go. He shook his hands and congratulated him.

It was time to announce the winner and Ariana's grip became tighter. "The winner for explicit display of art is…. Claire Dickson from Tulane College!!!" The screams and jumps were all I could think of as we ran to embrace Claire for her win.

He asked as I frowned at his audacity. “Hey, it’s my life you’re talking about” I reminded him. Victor sneered at me. "You'll never win," he said. But I was determined. "We have evidence," I said. "You're going down." “Time’s up” The guard announced. “You don’t want Allicent to go scot free, do you?” Leo asked him. “What does that mean?” He asked. “Do your findings, before it’s too late then." He told us as his sucked his teeth with annoyance.

he said and looked at the whole anxious students who are really eager to hear the results from the summers. " let's hear from the four judges, who our winner for today's competition is" the m.c said and walked up to the summers and collected the papers from them. he went through the papers, making the anxious students like silver, merrissa, Naina and many other students who loves Nicki to groan in frustration. He laughed as he heard the sound of their groaning.

"He watches Ann." "Does Ann notice?" "No." "Then you're safe.” Olivia shook her head. "That's the problem. Ann doesn't care anymore." Vanessa stared at her. "What do you mean?" "She doesn't compete with me." Olivia's voice became quieter. "She doesn't ask Daniel why he talks to me. She doesn't get jealous when I mention their past. She doesn't fight when he agrees with me." She swallowed. "She simply walks away." Vanessa's expression changed. "That sounds like she's giving up."

Just no way. “We didn’t get laughed at, that’s more than enough for me.” I muttered, holding my head high. A content smile on my lips as I waited. As we all waited. And finally, “Our winners are… “Our winners…” Dominic teased, the crowd protesting. “Ughhh, say it already!” someone on the line grumbled, prayer whispers all around me. “Our winners… “Are…” “Our winners are contestant…” “Oh man, I’m gonna be sick!” “Our winners are contestant No. 5, 9, 14,18, 6, 25 andddd 10!!!!”

And I could see in their eyes that they were not happy with the results. “Announcing our winners of the night. The king and queen of the lion’s heart. Blake and Natalia Knight, congratulations…”

… The moment Sienna appeared on the sports field, Hunter and the others started screaming and calling out to her. “Boss! Boss!” “…” Did they have to be so enthusiastic? It was as if they had not seen each other in eight hundred years. Sienna glanced at the few people with a slight smile and asked, “How is the distribution going? What are the results?” “I won!” “I won, too!” Hunter and Monki were the first to stand up, followed by Chase and Rowan. The four of them were the final winners after several rounds of fighting, so they had the priority to choose among the weapons they brought back last night.

“Our winners: Bennik. Auren. Riven. Kael. Velwyn. Royce. Tarin. Tharix. Commander Hartfell. Captain Aryanna.” The crowd whooped and stomped their feet. My mates stood with pride, each of them catching my eye like they needed the reminder I already knew, they were mine, and gods, they were glorious. I continued. “And fifteen more of you, our rising leaders: Soren Blackvale, Mira Duskbane, Garrick Stormfang, Elira Moonglade, Daxen Ironsong, Lyra Thornewood, Veyra Silverbranch, Kaelen Frostbloom, Torin Greymark, Selene Ashwhisper, Corin Emberveil, Marra Willowstride, Fenric Shadowden, Isolde Brightfang, and Korrin Stoneclaw.”

My world was collapsing before my eyes, and the competition suddenly felt meaningless. “There you are,” Olya’s voice sounded nearby, and we quickly stepped apart. “Maya, what’s wrong? Did you lose? That’s no reason to cry.” She smiled, grabbed my hand, and pulled me toward the crowd. Alexey followed behind us. “And determining first place was incredibly difficult,” one of the judges continued. “Unfortunately, we couldn’t reach a unanimous decision, so we have two winners. The winners are Konstantin Nikolaev and Maya Karaulova.”
