"We're going to sneak out," Ryder smirked.
"Why?"
"Cause I said so." He replied. "You're either coming or not."
"Fine, I'll come." Kellian didn't want to be alone.
"Just so you know, you weren't the deciding factor. We were gonna go with or without you." Ryder added before walking off.
"Jerk." She mumbled under her breath then followed behind him.
Ryder led the way to an 8 ft (245cm) wall at the back of the school then stopped.
"Why did we stop?"
"Because we're jumping this wall." Ryder pointed at the wall.
"What!?"
"Shh. Just hurry up will you." Ryder said then effortlessly jumped the wall.
Leo climbed over gracefully, Dexter helped Kellian up but she lost her balance and fell off the wall. Luckily Leo caught her.
"You are the clumsiest person I've ever met, Blueberry," Ryder stated looking down on her.
"Well, I sooorry I wasn't born a graceful werewolf as yourself. Hmph." Kellian pouted.
"So who's going to let Kellian ride with them?" Leo asked walking over to his moped.
"Why not you? After all, you two are so close." Ryder replied.
Leo frowned. "You know why Ry." He then added, "Dexter isn't the best driver so I think you should Ry."
"Ugh. Whatever." Ryder walked over to his moped grabbed a helmet and tossed it add her, "Wear this."
Kellian caught it and put it on. Everyone also put on their helmets. Afterwards, they got onto their mopeds and Kellian sat behind Ryder.
"Hold on tight," Ryder smirked getting ready to drive off.
"No thanks." Kellian politely declined.
"Suit yourself," Ryder said and then started driving at high speeds. Kellian immediately grabbed onto the end of his jacket.
A few minutes later Ryder noticed an adorable stray kitten that looked like it was starving and got distracted. He wanted to help the poor thing but he couldn't do it with so many people around werewolves aren't supposed to like cats.
Because Ryder was distracted, he didn't notice the up coming hill and slowed down. Instead, he went over the hill at full speed finally remembering he was supposed to be driving after the moped was in the air.
Ryder skillfully landed the vehicle and planned to pretend like nothing happened but someone's arms were wrapped tightly around his waist and he once again got distracted.
That someone, Kellian was terrified once the vehicle was off the ground. So she did the most logical thing she could think of... hugging onto Ryder as her life depended on it. She wasn't wrong. Her life was in danger, she probably would have fallen off if she didn't grab onto Ryder.
"Ryder what's up with you!? Why are you so distracted!?" Leo yelled unintentionally snapping Ryder out of his distracted stated.
"It's nothing!"
"It's not nothing, you could've hurt yourself and Kelly. Being absentminded and driving cannot go together!" Leo lectured.
"Shut up."
Even though Kellian was safe now she didn't want to let go of Ryder. She was still scared. As for Ryder he acted like he didn't notice a thing even though he could clearly feel her clinging onto him.
About 15 minutes later. They finally reached the paintball center in one piece. They signed up for a private match to give Kellian a chance to learn.
Leo and Kellian ended up being teammates on the blue team while Ryder and Dexter were on the red team.
"Want me to go over the rules?" The worker asked.
"Sure." Kellian replied.
"The game ends when all members of the opposing team or teams are out. You become out when a paintball hits you and breaks. You get 10 points for every person taken out. So there are two ranking systems, teams and individual." The worker explained.
Two minutes into the game Ryder found Kellian and Leo and shot them both.
"How did you find us so quickly?!" Kellian complained.
"Your scent."
"Not fair!" She pouted.
"I thought we agreed to give her a chance!" Leo complained.
"Meh."
"You even transformed into a wolf to get her quicker. You didn't give her a chance at all!" Leo said angrily.
"I never said I'd give her a chance."
"Whatever. Let's sign up for real game now." Leo gave up.
The teams remained the same except there were now 10 people on the teams. Leo stuck with Kellian and Ryder stuck with Dexter.
"Now that we're this far in what's our strategy?" Kellian asked while walking.
"We'll hide there and there." Leo stopped and pointed and two trees across from each other.
"But we'll be trapped with no where to escape!"
"Only if we're seen." Leo smirked.
"I guess it's a good strategy. It feels like cheating but you can't shoot what you don't see and we'd shoot them before they find us."
"Exactly." Leo smiled excitedly.
"But what if no one passes here?"
"I'm sure your scent will attack at least one person and seeing paintballs on the ground will cause people to be cautious and look around." Leo explained.
"I see."
"Can you climb a tree?" Leo asked a little worried.
"Easily." Kellian smiled proudly.
They both climbed the trees that were across from each other and found a stable branch to rest on.
They're plan worked. Since Kellian had been out all day her human scent was now mixing with that of the werewolf perfume. It attracted a group of 4 first.
The group was all wearing yellow. So they must be from the yellow team. They began looking around since they knew someone was around the area.
Kellian fired five bullets all missing and hitting the ground instead. The group laughed and looking up to where she was but were immediately shot. Two were shot by Kellian and Leo took out the other two. Kellian had shot the ground on purpose after remembering the plan.
'Her aim is really good.'
They continued to take people out the same way. They only got two more people and then no one showed up.
They jumped down from their hiding spots because they began wondering around taking out people they saw on the way.
Then they stumbled upon a battle it was two against two. It was two people from green team and Ryder and Dexter.
Green team were just firing bullets and Ryder and Dexter were skillfully dodging them all while reloading their guns. Once their guns were reloaded they took out green team effortlessly.
Leo took this chance to fire at Ryder. Dexter noticed the incoming bullet and took it in Ryder's stead.
"Idiot I could have dodged tha– huh?" Ryder noticed that there were two bullets and the second one was exactly where he was going to dodge. 'Do humans have good aim? All the one's I've faced were weak and it easy to dodge their bullets.'
"Dang it! I didn't expect Dexter to jump in front of Ryder."
"Yeah but now we only have Ryder left although it won't be easy to take him out."
Ryder fired a bullet at Leo but Kellian quickly shot it down.
"Let's move he knows where we are."
"No, we have to face him head on. He doesn't have Dexter anymore."
Kellian went out into plain sight. Ryder started firing at her and she started dodging with bridges, cartwheels, backflips and anything that would avoid the incoming balls.
Leo tried to shoot him while he was focused on Kellian but he dodged all the bullets without pausing fire.
Leo reloaded his gun and tried the out come was the same or so Ryder thought. While dodging Leo's bullets he noticed fifteen incoming bullets which had him completely trapped. Kellian fired at all the areas he had been dodging to while Leo continued to shoot in the same pattern.
Realizing he was trapped he stood there accepting fate. Three bullets hit him.
"That's no fun. You didn't even try to dodge!"
"Why would I?"
"Because you must go down with honour! Die giving it your best shot if you're going to die either way."
"...How do you know about that?"
"Ohm... Umm... Shouldn't we go check our scores now?"
Blue team won. Maximum points were 390 points. In first place was Ryder with 110 points, next was Kellian with 100 points, Dexter with 60 points and Leo with 40 points.
"What do we do now?"
"Let's get something to eat then stop by at the park."
"The park?"
"Yeah I want to meet someone in about an hour."
"Okay."
