Tris/Six Pov:

War games. We decided to mix it up a bit and throw in so experienced soldiers in the mix. Two soldiers will be joining each of the three groups. I volunteered as the commander of group one which includes, Zeke Petrad, Uriah Petrad, Lynn Marvels, Tobias Eaton, Christina Wells, Jimmy Galls, and Noah Wright. Jimmy and Noah are friends of mine.

We strap on our vests that light up when we are hit with a pellet. When they light up, that means we are dead and can no longer fight. An ambulance will come by and pick us up. If one team is fully dead, then they are out of the game. You win by capturing the other team's bases. We have one hour to come up with our strategy. We are currently in a small plane which we will jump out of when we reach our battle field, which happens to be an abandoned amusement park.

"We need to pick a base. I know we got the right side, but where will we all meet up?" Zeke asks. Everyone looks at me. I lean forward.

"Yall come up with the plan. My job to oversee what you're doing and put minimal input." Jimmy shoves me playfully.

"Like you've always done that." I shrug and smirk.

"Make a plan and I'll tell you what I think." I prop my feet up on an empty chair and wait for them to start planning.

"I say that we can use this small building behind the trees for the hideout. Then we need two people to go scout out for the other team's bases. If they're smart, they won't be in the open."

"Who will go?" Uriah asks. I raise my hand along with Four. Scouting isn't that bad. I actually really enjoy it. "Okay, Four and Colonel Prior."

"Just call me Six during this. I don't want you getting shot because you had to pause and say my name." I say with a straight face which makes Noah and Jimmy remember last year's war game. Yeah, that happened. Christina and Lynn see that I'm serious and start laughing too.

"Okay, Six, will do." Four says. "We need four other people to join us when we come back and have the information ready. Two will stay at base." Zeke, Noah, Lynn, and Uriah volunteer to go and that leaves Jimmy and Christina at base. Four looks at me for approval.

"Okay, I like it. One thing, Jimmy and Christina, you two need to hide at a vantage point so you can shoot anyone that comes near without them seeing you. Everyone watch out for the ambulance, if they see you, they can tell another team.

"Also try and listen to what they're saying, they might have some information of the other teams. Zeke, Noah, Lynn, Uriah, and Four, do not attack out in front unless absolutely necessary. Stay hidden and pick them off one by one. Secrecy is key in this game. Always keep your head sets on and whisper when you talk in them. You never know who's around you, plus the mic picks up sound very well. If you die, do not under any circumstance tell them about our plan. You are dead, and can't talk. Got it?"

"That was more than one thing." Noah says with a smirk. I roll my eyes and see everyone nod at the plan. I get a beep in my ear peace. They are set up with our group and we are ready to jump. What my group doesn't know, is that ever since that beep, they will record what we say. I strap on my parachute and go to the edge of the plane. I look back at everyone.

"Ready?" They all nod, though for those who have never done this before, nod reluctantly. I back up and get a running start. I run to the edge and leap into nothingness. The world freezes around me and I feel like I'm falling in slow motion. I don't see any other planes in the sky. They other teams either haven't got here yet, or have been here awhile and just saw up jump. I'm hoping for the first one.

I pull the string on my parachute and it expands to its full capacity. I land on the ground first and unhook myself from the parachute. Everyone lands a few seconds from each other and I help them get out of theirs. We hide the parachutes in our base, behind the counter and in the cabinets. We are all in the little building, waiting for me to tell them to start on their jobs. I close the last cabinet and look at all of them. I speak up.

"Let the games begin." My voice echoes in the ear piece and in the air. The order has been given.

Endnote:
Hello! I wanted to take a moment and honor all of the families that were affected by 9/11. I know people who were affected by it, and if you do to, please take a moment of silence for them. We will never forget 9/11.

Thank you for reading this chapter, I really hope you enjoyed it! Please let me know what you thought of it :) I am so sorry for not updating, but school has been taking up so much time. I will try to write more soon!

For those of you in the south, I am right here with you. Fall needs to get here, like NOW.

So yesterday in PE we did the weight room and walking lunges, and when I woke up this morning, my legs hurt so, so bad. Then I had to do the mile today, and my legs felt like legit noodles after I finished that. *sigh*

Anyways, I hope yall have a great day today! :)
