End intermission:
Announcer's box
Inquiete: [In big booming voice rebounding off the walls so everyone can hear.] Hello! And welcome back to Showdown: Rephaim v. Jacob adopted by HOLLY IS TINY! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while but I've been busy updating my other stories. But I made a comment to StevieRae2011 that I was too lazy to update and it got me motivated to get off my comfy as hell LaZyboy and WRITE! [Tosses fist in the air in enthusiasm.]
Seth: Seriously, enough with the over enthusiasm and I mean you're too lazy to update one frickin' story? What a waste. [Shakes head in mock disappointment.]
Inquiete: That's not the only reason. I've been busy. You know with homework and…I don't know…a life! But I'm updating now and I'm sure ya'll can understand. Oh and in case you haven't noticed I've pretty much OCed Seth but I haven't really read Twilight in a while so I'm a little rusty on their little to none personalities. And if I made him the super nice, bubbly, no-flavor Seth this Announcer's Box would be boring.
Seth: Hey I thought you agreed I'm one of the few with personality!
Inquiete: You are. But that doesn't mean you're not still an annoying bubbly no-flavor. I mean Jacob has personally but it's a seriously crappy one. In my opinion your WAY to peppy and bubbly for my tastes; and you do everything everyone tells you to do. It's like seriously annoying.
Seth: Ok, ouch, and why didn't you OC Stevie Rae I mean come on! Turn around fair play!
Inquiete: Hell no! Stevie Rae's cool. And besides, why try and change a personality that was already perfect to begin with?
Stevie Rae: [Blushes] ah! Thanks Inquiete but I'm not really perfect.
Inquiete: Sure you are! That modesty proves it. I mean it sure is more than what these so called vampires and werewolves have.
Seth: [Snorts indignantly]
Mike: Hey, are we going to get to the next challenge any time today?
Inquiete: [Sighing affectionately] fine Mike always got to be the impatient one.
Mike: [smiles slyly] yep [pops the p in yep]
Inquiete: [cracks neck] ok than. [Checks time on phone] Crap I've got about an hour or less before I have to go to bed! MAN!
Seth: Why did your reviews need to know that? Seriously that was random and stupid. Who cares when you're going to bed? It's not going to make much of a difference in the story.
Inquiete: Yeah I know it was random, that was the point. And I know that doesn't mean much for the story. It just means I won't be able to type this and publish it on the same day. It's going to like take two days to type. Because the second challenge is like real long.
Mike: Yeah you need to time both Rephaim and Jacob for 10 min. as they go through the maze besides. You just wasted a bunch of time rereading what you just wrote.
Inquiete: Oh brother, not you too Mike! [Slaps hand on forehead] I have a habit of rereading what I wrote to make sure it sounds write and is going in the direction I want it to go. So deal.
Mike [smiles warmly] sure Inquiete can we get with the challenge now I'm like quivering in anticipation.
Inquiete: [Glances at phone.] Yeah…I suppose so…now that I have more time. (I took a break to sleep from this and now I have time to get to the challenge.) Ok I'll set the time players take your mark, get set, GO!
Round 2:
Maze of Trails
Rephaim:
Buzzer sounds, time is started and Rephaim breaks out into a run. He zigged and zagged through the turns and twists. Just than a explosion erupted in front of him and he crashed to the floor. "Ugh!" he rolled over and ran ahead. Rephaim paused only once when there was a dead end and realizing that he had gone in a straight line pushed against the wall. It grounded but moved out of his way; revealing a hidden door. Rephaim skidded to a stop when he saw an image of Stevie Rae burning and was about to go to her. But then shook his head and telling himself it was only an allusion forged ahead. Weapons and masses were thrown at him but he easily ducked and dodged The Maze all the sudden forked out with a sign pointing in the different directions. One sign said Light one said Darkness. The one that said Light was full of dark shadows and looked like something out of a scary movie or little kids nightmares. The sign that said Darkness had no shadows and was bright and cheerful and full of life. Rephaim rolled his eyes it was obvious that the signs were a trap. He chose the sign that said Darkness and kept moving forward. It was proven his theory was correct Rephaim had no problems with this path. And he found himself getting closer to his goal. Just when Rephaim thought he was in the clear all the sudden he got caught in some quick sand. And he couldn't get passed a swampy area. That was literally right in front of the finish line.
Buzzer sounds:
Announcer's Box
Inquiete: Wow Rephaim was like right there man.
Stevie Rae: Seriously one more minute he would have made it
Inquiete: [Looks at all the spell mistakes and wince.] Ugh, I was trying to beat the clock myself so I typed sloppy. I mean all those spelling mistakes are killing my eyes.
Seth: You are a bad speller and yeah that is REALLY sloppy.
Inquiete: No matter! It will be fixed! [Goes back and fixes spelling mistakes.] There, now it won't hurt the readers' eyes.
Seth: [Mumbles under his breath.] It's still pretty sloppy.
Inquiete: Can it mongrel. It's not too sloppy. And like I said I was racing against the clock.
Seth: [Opens his mouth to speak.]
Inquiete: [Covers Seth's mouth so he can't speak.] Ok now its Jacob's turn.
Jacob:
Buzzer sounds. Timer begins Jacob races off; turns into a wolf than races off.
Inquiete: GROSS! Now his going to be naked when he changes back! Someone quick find wolf-boy some clothes so no one has to see that later.
Jacob runs throw the maze; using his sense of smell to maneuver the turns. His ears flick forward as he hears an odd sound and an explosion erupts on top of him. Jacob is blown backwards and lays there unconscious for a minute. Then he pulls himself together and gets to his feet. Shaking his coat he runs forward not allowing himself to be shaken. All the sudden he comes across a blockade and confused doubles back around trying to see where he messed up. Not finding anything he goes back to the dead end and thinks for a while. Than getting an idea he pushes on the wall with his muzzle. The door swung open smoothly for him; allowing him to go through. Just as he thought he had it in the bag there is a sort of ripping sound in the floor and Jacob fell through a hole in the floor. With a howl of pain Jacob tumbled down and down and down. Smashing into twigs and branches and landing with a thunk on the floor. Jacob struggled to get to his feet. Whimpering softly, he hurt all over and he couldn't tell where he was going anymore. Than Jacob turned and with a sense of grim determination bunched up his muscles and throws himself into a run in some random direction; just than the air became stall and hard to breath. He felt dizzy and light headed. Jacob stumbled for a sec than passed out. A few minutes later he wakes up at the beginning of the maze again. Jacob tipped his head back and gave a howl of frustration when the buzzer…Well…buzzed.
Announcer's Box
Inquiete: [Staring stone shocked.] Wow I knew he wasn't going to get to the exit but I didn't really think he was going to end up right at the beginning again. [Blinks in pain.] Wait let me fix the mistakes real quick this is starting to hurt my eyes. {Fixes spelling mistakes,] there that's better.
Seth: That's not fair! Why'd you make Jake go all the way back to the beginning!
Inquiete: [Blinks in shock.] I didn't make him do anything.
Seth: Yes you did you're the one writing this.
Inquiete: True but I didn't make him go to the beginning. [Shrugs shoulders,] my stories mostly have a life of their own. I just give them a voice. I was originally planning for him to get to the fork, chose the Light side, and get lost in the Darkness but this just turned around and surprised me.
Stevie Rae: But it sounds so perfect like this. I think you should keep it.
Inquiete: Planning to. Now I'd say Rephaim wins that round. What you guys think?
Seth: I think you're a dirty cheater.
Inquiete: Moi? Triche? Ha! Non, je ne triche pas…beaucoup.
Seth: I don't know anything you just said. It sounded like nonsense.
Inquiete: No it's French. I take French class you know.
Seth: No! [Throws hands up in frustration.] How the fuck am I supposed to know that!
Inquiete: Well my pennames French
Stevie Rae: Really?
Inquiete: Yeah, normally there's an accent in it but I don't know how to put accents on a computer.
Stevie Rae: That's so cool! What's it mean?
Inquiete: Anxious.
Seth: [Tips head back and laughs.] Anxious? Your name means anxious.
Inquiete: Yess
Seth: Ha!
Inquiete: OK so Rephaim wins this round. And he'll probably win the next one to. Stay tuned next time for the next chapter Imprint: Blood or Sight. Oh and yes I really am in French class 102 actually. Oh and there's a funny story to my French name. PM me if you want to hear it. I know this is short but I can't think of anything else to write.
Mike: Hey you still got me!
Inquiete: True but I can't write a couple of pages on us talking Mike. I'll try to update this sooner. But as always I request your absolute patience. Ok see ya. Next time I see ya, the boys will decide which imprint is stronger. Hee, hee, should be fun.
