Chapter 1 - Labyrinth

The whole room was filled with roar as the two teams where competing,the Cyan the leading team and the Seven,the Seven didn't get much recognition as they where mostly calm with a not so creative a name as compared to other teams in the game,Labyrinth.

The Cyan has dashed off with confidence as they recently moved to the finals by defeating a well-known and undefeated team.The Seven however won most of their rounds by luck so less attention was given to them and people gathered to support Cyan.

Jinn a member of the Seven ran over a hedge in the maze and into a dead end ,

'Shit!' he exclaimed, he had dark hair and olive skin unique features were his bright blue eyes and full brows ,he had to be the most handsome man ever he was in his early twenties and the carefully given features would make him a top model . He stood silently, he was sure he made the right turn this had to be the spot. He caught something glowing in the bushes at his left and with excitement he reached in and brought out five marbles,

'Oh!Woah!' he gasped- the game had never put this much together-he hid the marbles still in awe.He knew that in order to win they now had to discover Seven more marbles as they where really lacking behind. Zi hua the leader of the Seven came into the hedge he was dark haired as well but with grey eyes and pale skin, his facial features weren't quite announced drawing attention to his eyes he had to be a bit older than Jinn from his look. He was dressed in the same outfit as Jinn.

'what the hell are you doing! let's go!' he yelled he knew the game was about to end and they were behind but they had to reach the gates. They both ran out towards the gates still searching for more marbles a voice yelled

'You have Two Minutes to reach the the Gate ' Now people weren't anticipating the winners as the points showed (10 - 3) with the Cyan's leading, Jinn wondered why his five marbles didn't show and had a different color from the regular ones arriving the gate he said to himself

'I should drop this back...but they are marbles aren't they?'

'I got three' Zi hua joined him holding three marbles, he watched as the scores changed on the board and sighed, then a loud horn sounded and the crowd yelled.

Both teams where asked to count their marbles by the referee. The Seven counted theirs- just six- Jinn wasn't sure he was to add those marbles maybe they were some sort of decoy from the originals ,The Cyan however had a uniquely glowing marble just like the ones Jinn picked up ,Then the referee yelled

'this marble makes two!'

Jinn froze a rush of excitement leaped through him and he let out a squeak 'wait!' he reach into his pocket to get the marbles.

'what?' some members of the Cyan yelled.

'yeah Jinn what?' a low tone came from behind Jinn, Taeh another member of the Seven asked his black beady eyes fixed on Jinn he looked much younger than the other two with quiet features as Zi hua and a small nose.Jinn brought out one of the five marbles and placed it in their box

'so what you found a marble, only makes it eight' A member of the Cyan said as they laughed, A smile came on Jinn's face as everyone went quiet and then he brought out the four marbles that brought every eyebrow shooting up,They won ,he turned to see the expression on Zi hua's face and then to the other members.

There was a weird sound in the atmosphere 'must be a problem ' people muttered as it lasted for about thirty seconds and then 'The Seven wins ' ,The tone of the computer sounded very low and abnormal but no one considered it as there was a large cheer for the winners.
