Chapter 3

I have no clue where I should take them… there are a lot of them so….. Ice rink? No, no one has skates…. hmmm…. I start walking the rest of the group following. I walk down bank street and up and down a few different streets stopping along the way whenever someone saw something they liked. Then I realized just how close we have gotten to one of my favorite places, I give a small smile and start directing our group towards the tall building. When we get inside I duck my head and walk over towards the counter,

"hey ryan," I say as he turns around wielding a cloth and holding the barrel of a gun.

"Holy Crap! C- Mattie dude, I didn't know you allowed guns in your country!" alfred says rather loudly behind me, I watch as the two boys around my age sitting over in the corner's heads pop up and swivel towards the loud voice, newbies by the looks of it. I feel a bit of heat rush to my face as ryan turns to look at me after observing the rather large group behind me,

"wow scar, um, the usual then?" he asks still casting glances at the large group gathered behind me,

"only if they all want to play," I answer back, I turn to the group.

"Welcome to one of my favorite places, this is bulls eye, it's a paintball building. The whole building has been transformed into a giant paintball course… we don't have to play if you guys don't want to, but they have extra gear and stuff if you do," I explain. I see quite a few of them seem really interested.

"sounds great dudette!" alfred says excitedly. I relax a little to see that everyone agrees with him.

"sure ryan, thx. If you don't mind helping them," I say with a small smile as he turns to grab my usual outfit and gear. I quickly walk towards the female changing room that lead out into the beginning of the course. As I change I wonder how we will divide up the teams, I guess i'll let everyone else decide. I walk out and notice almost everyone is waiting, all except ludwig and feliancio. They come out almost immediately after that thought though.

"ok, so we need 2 teams" I say as everyone quiets down and looks to me, I quickly look down at my gun my face growing warm from all the attention,

"the game is quite simple, it's pretty much a giant game of capture the flag, you are allowed everywhere, and if you get hit, in the torso you have to retreat to your side of the playing field or the paint will continue to glow, therefore making you a giant bullseye." I say keeping my eyes on my gun. I hear noises of affirmation,

"you guys can pick your own teams," I finish simply. They go about choosing the team captains as I stay out of the way, Ivan and Alfred turn out to be the team captains. I have no clue how that happened, but it did. The teams ended up along the lines of:

Ivan:

Yao

ludwig

feliancio

kiku

Me

Alfred:

Arthur

Francis

Mattie

Gilbert (as I learned the albino mans name was)

Antonio( the other brown haired mans name who was flirting with sky)

both teams split up after I handed the other team their 'flag' I stay for the hiding of the flag and the tactical plan before slipping off to find one of my many spots, I watch through the scope as ludwig positions feliancio close to the flag but far enough away that if the other team manages to get to him, he won't immediately give away the position of our flag, he is fairly smart in doing this, although the other team won't get anywhere close to our flag. I turn my scope to focus in on kiku who seems to be taking up a sniper position same as me, I then look around to find Ivan and yao, they already seem to be pretty deep into enemy territory. I look back to find Ludwig crossing the path in front and below me. I see movement out of the corner of my eye, and notice the flash of blue before it spatters across the chest of Arthur, I smirk to myself, but if he is this deep into our territory already where are the rest of his team? Ludwig and I seem to have the same thought, as he looks around I take to my sight and quickly notice the dark movement of another person trying to sneak by on the other side of the small valley that leads to our hiding spot. I level my gun at where his chest would be and pull the trigger, I see the bright spatter of blue as it hits his chest and watch as ludwig turns to look at the person now exposed by the blue paint. I see the outline of familiar glasses and hair, its mathew, he quickly turns and heads for the opposite side as ludwig starts to raise his gun, I totally just gave away my position… great. I crawl back from my position and head for my next position a little farther back from the other side, I look over towards where feliancio is guarding the flag, he looks fine, a little nervous but fine none the less. I turn my attention back to the opposite team, I couldn't see yao, ivan or ludwig any longer so I assume they were already on the other side of the few obstacles blocking our view from where I assume the other team hid their flag. I listen as I hear the sound of the pressurized guns going off, 2, 3, 5, five people shooting, three assumedly from my team and two from theirs, that means there is still four people unaccounted for, I look back to see someone sneaking up behind feliancio, I take aim and let off a quick shot that hits them square in the chest, I look closer in the light given off from the neon blue paint, brown hair, green eyes, antonio. Check. I look around the surrounding area as feliancio looks around in a bit of a panic, he looks like he's about to bolt, if I don't get down there he is going to take off and it's only going to be me guarding this flag. I let out a small sigh and creep around a few obstacles and wave to get feliancio's attention. He looks over at me and lets out a great big smile, I quickly notice two more people emerging from a obstacle behind feliancio, I quickly raise my gun and take them both out as well, Francis. Check. Gilbert. Check, one more, I look around looking for the loud mouthed american. Alfred. There I can see him pretty much running up the middle towards feliancio, I look towards said person to see him, he is no longer there? What? Where did he disappear to? I quickly refocus on alfred, I take aim just as another spatter of blue paint hits him, kiku, I see him emerge just as ivan, yao, and ludwig emerge from around the corner, ludwig holding the other teams flag.

After everyone changes and gets cleaned up, with minimum amount of complaining from alfred, we head to a favorite bar of mine for supper.
