Chapter 14 First Place

June's POV

"Alright everyone's here, good." I say somewhat proudly. "Why do we even need to be here by midnight," Sting whined, "I don't know it's, because it's the rules," I relied. Suddenly the ground started to shake making me stretch my arms to find something to grab on to. I look outside to see the entire city lowering, or were we just getting higher. Then the shaking stopped. I ran to our room's balcony to see what it was.

There were several other inns that have been raised. But that's not the only thing that stood out. There was a giant man wearing a pumpkin on his head. "Attention all contestants participating in this year's Grand Magic Games! Good Morning!" It said," To narrow down the 113 guilds participating in this year's games to a more manageable eight, let's begin the Preliminary Round," It continued, "Is this why they had us be at our inn at midnight?" Rufus questioned, "Yeah, I think so," I relied. "This won't be a problem for us," Sting boasted.

"Although the numbers of guilds increases and multiply each year! The games have gotten boring now is all I ever hear. Let's wiggle it down I say to you, and give just eight a cheer." He said while dancing a funny dance. Then he pointed at the sky and continued, "The rules for the preliminary round are simple, you will participate in a race. The finish line is at the Domus Flou Coliseum! Only the first eight teams to reach it will move on to the Grand Magic Games!" Suddenly a stone steps appeared at the rail of the balcony and continued forward," You're free to use magic in any way you see fit, there are NO restrictions! But remember; only the first eight teams to reach the finish line will win this round! However, all five team members must cross the line for it to count. And one more thing, we are not responsible for any loss of life that occurs in the labyrinth, SO WITH OUT FURTHUR A DO, LET THE GRAND MAGIC GAMES PRELIMINARY ROUND SKY LABYRINTH BEGAN!"

"Well, let's win this thing," I shout hopping onto the path leading to the Sky Labyrinth. The four nodded and joined me on the path, the five of us started run up to the labyrinth.

Time skip: 7 minutes

"Ok we need to find the right way to the Domus Flou. Rufus do you think you can scan the labyrinth," I suggested, "I can try," he said putting two fingers on his forehead; he started to gain a soft glow. Suddenly a big flash blinded me and I almost fell off the side of the path. After I regained my vision, Rufus pointed down the path behind him and said "If we continue around the path, then turn left at a crossed path and continue down then forward, we'll eventually get there." "Alright sound's easy enough, lead the way." I said.

We ran down the path until we reached the crossed path on the opposite side of us were five men, probably one of the competing guilds. They heard us and turned around, "Hehe, well look who we got here. I'm not lettin ya guys win again this y-" the mage said before he and his whole team were zapped by Orga before they could finish, "Well that takes care of that," Sting said with his hands on his hips. Suddenly, I felt the ground shaking again , The whole labyrinth was rotating. I suddenly felt I was failing which shouldn't be happening. Then I felt someone grab my hand, I look up to see sting gripping hardly on to my hand, "DON'T LET GO," he shouted while tightening his grip. He tried to pull me up, but my hand started to slip, I tightened my grip as well which. "C'mon June, why do you have to be so heavy," he joked, "This isn't exactly the time for that if you haven't noticed," I shouted back. My fingers started feeling weaker and numb. It felt as if I was a mistake away from death, which I was. . I reached out my hand to grasp the edge of the path, and tried to pull myself. I suddenly got the feeling of elevation. It wasn't soon before I realized I was on the path again.

I let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks," I said to Sting. "No problem, let's just get moving," He replied. I scan the group to make sure everyone was still here, everyone was. "Now that we're back on our feet, we should make our way to the finish line, I have a feeling its close," Rogue said.

The five of us started running again with leading the group due to his knowledge of the way there. "Hey, I can see it!" I said pointing forward while still running. The finish line started to get closer and I started to speed up eventually out-running the rest of the group, which started to speed up as well. Then we were only a few yards away, "We made it," I said proudly but panting a lot. At the finish line, there was the pumpkin head from before, "Yeah! I knew we'd reach it in time," Sting cheered

"Congratulations Sabertooth for being the first team to reach the finish line! Your five will be competing, in this year's Grand Magic Games!" The pumpkin head said.

Time skip 30 minutes

After finishing the race we all went back to our inn. I've never been so glad to see it. "Welcome back you guys, I bet we got first place in the Sky Labyrinth race," Lector said, "We sure did, and we'll get first place in the games too," Sting said. "Well now that's we've finished the race, I suggest the we get some sleep, the first day of the games is tomorrow and we don't want to be asleep during it," Rogue suggested, "Alright I need to go change in my PJs so stay out of the bathroom instill I'm done," I said grabbing some clothes from my bag and headed to the bathroom. I locked the bathroom door and started to change. I kind of nervous, I've only trained for a few months and I don't know if I'm strong enough. I know I beat Sting in the battle to test if my skill was worthy to compete in the games, but part of me knows that he was going easy on me. I haven't seen him in real action so I wouldn't know.

Now that I've finished dressing I should go back to our room. I was wearing a black tank-top and some really soft pants with heart prints on them, and my hair was just left loose. I grabbed my other clothes and headed back to the room. I stuffed my clothes into my bag and scanned the room for an available bed.

There were only four beds. And each one of them was occupied by my team members (A/N: who were all shirtless. You're welcome)

"Hey, where am I supposed to sleep?" I asked them, all four of them and the exceeds turned their attention to me and just stared at me for a few second before someone decided to speak up, "Well… they gave us a room with only 4 beds instead of 6 or at least 5 beds. Which means you're sleeping on the floor," Sting said throwing me a pillow and a blanket. "Are you serious?" I said in a deadpan voice. "Yep," Sting replied, "There's no way I'm sleeping on the ground. I'm a lady," I said stubbornly, "Well if you don't want to sleep on the floor, I suppose you could share a bed with one of us-""I nominate Sting," Rufus interrupted Rogue. "What!" Sting and I said in unison. "It's that or you sleep on the ground," Rufus said with a smirk.

"Ugh, fine." I said walking over to Sting's and Lector's bed and lay down on it with my arms crossed, "just stay on your side," I shot back, "I was planning to." He shot back. The lights went out and I was left in a bed with a shirtless dragon slayer, and a cute little exceed. I pulled the blanket over me and turned to my side which ended up facing Sting. I suddenly felt Lector get up, walk over to me and snuggled down next to me. I placed my arm over him and brought him closer to me. Sharing a bed with Sting may have been bad but Lector makes up for it. His fur was so soft. Before I knew it I was drifting off to sleep.

Time Skip Morning

I was woken by the sound of someone shuffling, but I was too sleepy and comfortable. I felt my head against something warm, but thought nothing of it. There was something warm around me, it almost felt like something hugging me. That's strange 'cause I don't remember something hugging me when I fell asleep.

.

.

.

My eyes shot open in realization. I took me a few second to realize what was happening. The thing hugging me was actually a person, and that person was none other than Sting Eucliffe. Apparently while I was asleep he pulled me over to his side of the bed and snuggled me into his bare chest. I attempted to push him away but that only made him pull me uncomfortably close.

Sting's POV

I started to wake a slight bit, but decided I wanted to stay in bed. I was hugging something really warm and soft; maybe a pillow? I don't care. I brought it closer to my chest and tighten my grip on it. It was so soft. I crack my eyes open a bit and l look down to see some kind of a rusty red color, just like June's hair. Realization hit me like a brick and my eyes shot open. That wasn't a pillow… that was actually June.

"I'm glad you finally woke up," June said, "You wouldn't let me go for the past 30 minutes," she said. I blushed with embarrassment, and tried to push her away which only resulted in me falling of the bed.

"Looks like you too finally woke up," Rouge said walking into the room with a tooth brush in his mouth. "ROGUE! What the hell! why didn't you wake me up sooner," I complained. "I would've but you too looked too cute together," Rogue joked.
