RYN
My hands were shaking by the time I made it out onto the field.
To my surprise, people still cheered for me and chanted my name but this time, as expected, I could hear the underlying boos and jeers that followed.
Taking a deep breath, I stood beside my colleagues, and did some miniature body stretching in preparation for the test. My breath came in pants and with the way my head seemed foggy, I knew I was not one hundred percent. Still, I willed my mind to stay sharp.
Come hell or highwater, I have to win this.
“Coming up is the next test!” The annoucer rumbled with glee. “Contenders are to show true Elite spirit by taking down their opponent without causing serious injury. Be on alert when arranging your weapons, and pay attention to clues.”
From the corner of my eyes, I felt someone look at me and turned my head to see Konan, smirking at me. Facing forward, I packed my ponytail tight and prepared to run. Before us in the distance were ten tables and on it were dissected weapons we were supposed to rebuild before our opponent came for us.
When the gunshot permeated the air, I was about to run when I felt something hit me in the face. Pain exploded in my skull when I realized that yet again, I had been assaulted. I lowered myself on haunches, covering my face as I tried to endure the

After some seconds, I raised my head to see. My vision was blurry at first but with a few blinks, it began to clear up. To my left, further away, I saw one of my colleagues on the floor gripping his stomach, another limping, trying to get ahead, while the others had gone far. It means I wasn’t the only one assaulted in order to get ahead.
“RYN ASHMORE! RYN ASHMORE!” People chanted and I slowly rose to my feet, wiping the tears from my eyes.
Gods! I’m so tired.
I walked to the guy who was on the floor, battling his own pain and stretched my hand to him. He was the same boy who tried to defend me when Konan began his bullying but was threatened into silence. He stared at my hand, his eyes widening in surprise, before taking it and with great effort I pulled him to his feet.
Towering over me by some inches, I put his arm around my neck and together we began to make our way to the tables in the distance.
“Why are you helping me?” He asked. “We could fail.”
“Then we fail with dignity. This is not the end of our career.” I said, as my wolf healed me and our walks became jogs. “Feeling better?”
“Yes. Thank you.” He replied, gently retracting his hand from my neck. “The boys are wrong about you. You’re a good person.”
I smiled bitterly. “Good luck.” Then I was off, picking up speed like I have never done before.
Within seconds, I got to my table labeled number ten and discovered it had been upturned and all the arranged tools were in the sand. My heart fell to the pit of my stomach as I saw that others had arranged and built their guns from scratch and were putting bullets in.
Suddenly, the opponents arrived and to my dismay, they were ten real elites dressed in uniform with their guns raised. They had black nose masks on and looked very intimidating with their eyes glowing blue. Immediately, I dived behind the table just as chaos ensued on the field. Gunshots rang out and I tried to focus on finding the pieces of my own gun and putting
