Chapter 43
Seeing this, the team A that was jubilating in their hearts that Lavana was heading for them, their joy vanished. Team C had been downhearted earlier but seeing Lavana come over to them suddenly they became happy and more energetic. They would be the true winner and claim the prize.
Now the four of them had gone to their assigned teams.
“Begin!” said Mel and the four nodded.
The older man jumped onto the wooden board before sitting down. The pack members who formed that human table began to tremble and sway.
Carmelia touched the wooden board and instead of sitting on it, she walked around the team, occasionally whispering something into the ears of any team member she chose.
The team members felt that they were truly unlucky. She seemed to be a kind woman all this time, but who knew she’d whisper these sorts of words in their ears?
“Hey boy, do you like me? Am I pretty?”
“Do you feel your little bro excited?”
“You think I’ve got ample backside? What do you think about my melons?”
“Baby girl, your head is technically on your crush’s crotch. Don’t you feel anything? Why don’t you move your head a little?”
She whispered to the four of them in a coquettish voice. The team was annoyed. How long would they last if she continued like this?
Thankfully, she decided to stop and just sat on the wooden board atop them. She took out her phone and began to play fart sounds. The team was so frustrated but they didn’t want to give up so easily. Soon, she stopped and kept her phone back in the pocket of her pants.
“I feel so happy.” she said as she rose up to stand on the board. She started jumping on it before showing her dance moves. The team members under the wooden board breathed hard now.
They didn’t see victory in sight. Mel promised they’d still get a special something, right? They might as well just give up.
Carmelia saw how unstable the board was and just jump off. In less than a minute, the human table of team B disbanded. They’d lost.
The team members separated from each other, leaving the wooden board to lie on the ground. They themselves just lay on the ground in exhaustion. A pack member brought them water bottles and they consumed the contents in one go. Now they felt refreshed, if not for the pain they felt in their chests!
Damn, this Carmelia is a demoness.
Carmelia walked to them and then shook hands with them.
“You guys did great!” she said with a smile. But in their eyes, it was like she had evil plans in mind for them. They quickly had the motivation to stand up, ignoring the pain in their chests.
They started to stretch their bodies and she patted them on the back.
“Wor harder guys.” she said before walking away and leaving them. The four of them sat down cross-legged on the ground and decided to just watch the other 3 teams.
They weren’t faring well, either. The slim warrior kept dancing on the board, the same as the older man. Lavana only made people laugh.
Even her spirits, especially Thora, felt ashamed to look at her. She could have just sat down on the board and let the team win but no, she decided to imitate others and dance when she knew how stiff she was. Even a zombie could dance better than her. This Lavana needs a serious lesson.
“Why are you complaining? I’m doing my best here?” she replied to Thora and co.
“Hey, Lavana, please, just sit down.”
“Why should I? I’m enjoying the music.”
“You… You can’t dance. You’re so stiff.”
“Everyone’s body and talents are different. Plus, who said I was dancing? I’m just shaking my body.”
“Even a chicken will shake its body and get the praise. But what do you get? Laughter. You are a clown to them.”
“The purpose of this activity is fun, right? Why can’t I add to the fun?”
“You… I’ll take over.”
“You only have 1 minute.”
“More than enough.” Thora said haughtily.
Soon, Thora took over Lavana’s body and she looked at the other 2 that were dancing on the boards atop the two teams. A sly smile formed on Lavana’s lips.
“Kiddos, let your grandma teach you guys who’s the boss.” she muttered before starting to dance.
Whenever her feet touched the board, it would tremble. The team members who were under her were surprised.
Earlier, her movements just caused some little impact and they felt if they held on for a little longer, they would be the ultimate winner. Why now her moves had so much impact on their bodies? They started to tremble and the wooden board was also unstable. However, it did not deter the Lavana from continuing the amazing dance. The audience was amazed and kept cheering.
When a minute elapsed, the team members under her collapsed to the ground, breathing hard.
Thora gave control back to Lavana and she saw what this millennium old dragon had done. Indeed, she was a dance master.
She sighed internally and told them to go to slumber.
Thora stuck out her tongue at Lavana before going to slumber with the others. After all, she’d fulfilled her wish.
Lavana removed the wooden board and saw the team members who were exhausted.
“You guys did great.” she said with a smile. She helped each one of them sit up and a pack member brought four big water bottles. She opened them for the tired four and gave it to them one by one. They immediately starting downing the contents in the bottles and let out a sigh of relief before having to bear the pain on their chests. The first team that fell no longer felt pain in their chests for they’d healed. That’s why they were werewolves.
Good healing ability depending on the rank of their wolf. Omegas healed slower while gamma wolves healed almost as good as the Beta wolves. Mel and Rolandro were Beta wolves. If either of them could get a good ranking and score in the forthcoming competition. Then they would be upgraded to an Alpha wolf.
“It’s unexpected that you can make us crash against our will. You’d make a good warrior, miss Lavana.” one of them said.
“I… Thank you….”
“I’m Hernan. Hernan Bradford.” the pack member who had sparkling amber hair and brown eyes. He shook hands with her while smiling. Unlike team B that was terrified and frustrated by Carmelia to the point they willingly gave up in order to be free from her tortures, Lavana wasn’t an Asura figure to team C. They appreciated her and wanted her to join their pack.
“I’ll consider your offer.” she said slowly while in deep thought.
“Don’t worry. We understand.” said Zyair, one of the members of team C who had sunflower blonde hair. For a lone Omega like her, choosing to be one with another pack (especially if her former pack brought her painful memories) would not be a simple thing. But they would wait for her to open her heart a little for this pack.
Lavana walked away from them and headed to where she was standing in the audience. Carmelia, Magnolia and even Rolandro cheered for her.
“I can’t believe you have such strength and skill in dancing. You amazed us back there. Who was your teacher? Can you teach me?” said Maggie.
“Er…”
Could she tell them that Thora was the dance master and she herself was worse than a zombie in regard to dancing?
She just smiled and said: “When I have time.”
“Okay then. I’ll wait until you are very free. You must teach me. You won’t break your promise, Lava.” Maggie intertwined her pinky finger with Lavana’s.
The latter felt a headache coming. What if Thora decides to just sleep on the day that Maggie was to come ask for her guidance?Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
The winner of the game had emerged. It was team A. The team members thanked the slim warrior profusely. Turns out the older man was stronger than the slim warrior, just good at hiding it.
“Alright. The winning team is team A.” Mel said and the audience applauded.
“It wasn’t an easy thing to get to this stage. We’re proud of all who participated.
The teams who did not win will get 20 dollars each. Those who won will get these.” Four pack members headed to the members of team A and gave them 4 golden jugs.
“That is your reward.” Mel said.
The purpose of these games is not just for fun. The first game tests your flexibility. The second tests your adaptability and strength. This third game is to test your level of trust, your adaptability, how flexible your body is, your determined will and your resolution to persevere despite the odds. You don’t give in easily. Those from the other 3 teams, please come forward.” said Mel. The 12 who did not win walked towards Mel. He handed them an envelope each. Without being told, they knew it was more than 20 dollars that he’d said.
Then Mel handed them 20 dollars again each.
They thanked him sincerely before heading back to the audience amidst applause.
Rolandro was now holding the mic and cleared his throat to get the attention of the audience.
“Blood Stars, there are a few more games to go. The 4th one is…” he paused, taking in the eager looks of the audience before flashing a smile at them, winking at Carmelia.
“The 4th one is… the brick walk game. It is quite a simple game. Very easy. Where are the darlings that are taking part?” he asked.
Mel and 9 others stood at the designated spot.
“Nice. You’re all available and in good shape. Good!” Rolandro nodded his head.
A wheel barrow was brought over by a female pack member with midnight ruby hair (that was tied into two ponytails). It contained many red bricks.
The female pack member left and quickly returned with a long wooden stick. She placed it horizontally on the field.
Then she retreated after waving at the audience and Rolandro.
“Thank you, Audrey.” he said and she nodded before retreating to a corner.
“Alright. Now the materials are here- these good-looking bricks. I bet you all must the itching to get hold of them. But not so fast. You guys need to stretch your bodies before you get to touch them. Mel, please don’t drool. Your mate might misunderstand.” Rolandro said, causing the audience to laugh. Mel looked confused.
“Me? Drool? Over bricks? Are you kidding me?” Mel asked in shock.
“Oh, buddy. Don’t show that much zeal. Reserve it for the… you know.”
“You!” Mel was left speechless. This Rolandro had to annoy him like this. He snuck a glance at his mate, Regina and saw her with Carmelia chewing on figs. She winked at him and he quickly turned away in Rolandro’s direction. If looks could kill, then he’d have done that many times over. He mouthed the words: “You are toast!” to Rolandro, who pretended not to see it. He just smiled in a provocative manner.
“Aww! He’s such a shy boy. I’ll make him cast that shyness out tonight.” Regina whispered to Carmelia, who then chuckled.
“Sure you will. I trust you, my dear.”
“So I need you guys to first stretch your hands sideways.”
The participants did as he asked.
“Good. Then legs at ease. Flap your hands and roll your hips at the same time.”
Mel seemed unwilling but a glare from Regina was all it took to do it.
“Great job. Now pretend to be running but let it be in slow motion. Don’t pack up the dust.” Rolandro said.
After they did that for two minutes, he told them to go get the bricks of their choice.
“The minimum bricks you can take is 3. The maximum number of bricks you are allowed to take is 10. But if you feel you can handle 25. No problem. We’ll forgive you and even cheer for you.” said Rolandro. There were some who took 3, some took 4 or 5. Mel took 6.
“What a pity. No one even attempted to take ten for himself. It’s truly a pity.” Rolandro feigned sadness.
“Alright, get into your chosen positions and arrange your bricks in a straight line. You lot are to walk around the fire once. The last person will be eliminated immediately. Are you ready?” he asked.
The participants yelled: “Yes!”
“Let the race begin.” Rolandro declared.
