Chapter 7: Heist
"IT'S A DRAW, EVERYONE GETS 10 POINTS. CEASE THE EVENT!" Chris yelled and rand out of the room. Cara smacked her forehead. Everyone scowled at her.
"Thank you Cara, that was SO VERY HELPFUL OF YOU." Kyle seethed.
"Well alright," Graham's eyes darted around the room quickly.
"The next event is... Archery!" Artemis' eyes lit up.
"For Flame." She shrunk in her seat.
"Screw Wake." She muttered, much to the amusement of Wally, who gave her a light hug. Artemis smiled at this.
"Next event is running!" Eva grinned, but it turned out to be for Shrub House.
Artemis hugged Wally as a thank you and a consolation.
"Uh, I'm back!" Chris jogged in.
"Swimming, we're doing swimming." He puffed. Kaldur smiled at this. He had obtained a special necklace from Zatanna that allowed him to disguise his webbed hands, feet and gills.
"Half and hour changing time. Off you go!" Chris ushered the kids out of the room.
Red one. Blue one. Pink one. Purple one. Yellow one. White one. Black one. Orange one. Grey one. Green one. Brown one. Zatanna eventually selected the red swimming costume and followed Artemis and Megan out to the lake. Once there, Chris explained the challenge.
"There are twenty objects placed around in and the lake. Obtain them within ten minutes to win twenty points!" People looked at him awkwardly.
"How will we know which objects to pick?" Dick almost laughed, but then stopped as he saw Chris' face.
"They're all neon blue. Oh, and if you see any neon red or green stuff just take it anyway!" He grinned.
"Uh... Why?" Wally asked.
"That way Flame and Shrub won't get points! Haha!" The children shrugged and dived into the lake to find the stuff.
Meanwhile, Ríneth, Ben and Cara were sat on a mossy hill near the lakeside.
"Cara, you fake drowning." Ben pointed at her.
"Chris will run off to get the first aid kit out of his office, while Ríneth follows. Then, she will sneak in when he comes back to help you." He finished, drawing a very dodgy blueprint in the mud.
"What's up with the you?" Cara smothered a giggle.
"Uh, what?" Ben looked at the drawing of himself next to Cara.
"That's my arm!" He exclaimed.
"Oh, I just thought you were a bit vain with the sizing of things..." Ríneth mutters.
"Just do the plan, okay?" Ben sighed.
Cara fell into the water, pretending to drown.
"Oh no, it looks as if Cara has fallen into the lake! Whatever will we do?" Ben gasped dramatically. Chris dragged the girl out and, as planned, ran to his office. Ríneth pursued. She then snuck into his office after she saw the man leave, and looked around for the stone.
"Gotcha!" Chris grabbed her by the arm. "Whatcha doin', little girl?" He smirked.
"I, urr-"
"No excuses. You won't be getting your precious stone back. Back to your cabin, now!" He shoved her out. Ríneth pointed a thumb downwards towards her comrades and headed back to Cabin 4.
Blackgate Forest, 11:30pm.
"Oh my god. What is that?" Zatanna shone a torch in front of her, grasping Roy for support in the blackness. The two had decided to sneak out and find more clues in the forest. Roy placed a hand on her shoulder, then proceeded to walk towards the object. He touched the cool marble. "Thgil." Zatanna whispered, illuminating the structure.
It was a podium, which looked movable. On top of the podium was a pyramid with the top cut off, and a diamond shaped dent in it. Roy twirled the block around, hearing a clicking noise. Nothing.
"It needs something in it." He poked the indent. A shuffle was heard behind them, at which point they hid behind a conveniently placed bush.
Chris, Eva and Graham walked towards the podium, and crowded it.
"Now with the touchstone, we can finally rule!" Graham laughed in a sinister manor that would have impressed the Joker.
"Yes, but we must wait until the moon is at it's highest. Next Tuesday." Eva confirmed. Shuffle.
"We're being eavesdropped upon!" Chris glared around him, shining the torch. "Edih em dna yoR!" Zatanna whispered, shrinking as small as she could while being forced against Roy in the cramped space.
"Can't see anyone. Probably a badger." Eva muttered, tapping the touchstone.
"Keep this safe." Chris ordered Graham, thrusting the stone into his chest.
"Yes sir!" He mumbled nervously and scurried away.
"Come, Eva. We should slumber in our cabins. For tomorrow, a new dawn shall awake us." Roy and Zatanna watched as the trio exited the forest, and stood up.
"So, they're gonna kill us." Roy stated truthfully.
"Aaaaand, there's not a thing we can do. They have the stone. They know the rules..." Zatanna trailed off.
"The rules!" Roy shook the girl. "You genius!" He gave her a peck on the lips for no reason and sprinted off. Well okay then, I guess I'll follow you. Zatanna began after Roy.
Oh god Roy... What are you thinking!? Dun-DUN. Review if it was nice.
- Chalantelle out! :3
