CHAPTER THREE

I broke the staring competition with the faction leader of Xennon, looking back once for good measure. I leaned back into my chair sighing

"You got to be kidding me." I mumble.

"Laine? What does this mean?"Silver asked. I look at Silver and smile at her questioning look.

"Well, it means we have to fight the other faction leader and if we win we get the person we choose, Shepard."

Silver let out a little acknowledging noise.

"So, now the Choosing is extended a whole by a whole day."

"Where are we going to stay?" She counters and I look at her. I didn't even think about that.

"I don't know, Siv. Maybe they'll arrange the rooms for us to stay in."

She blushed a little at her nickname but replied,"I hope."

***

"Where to first?" I ask, and Silver looks at me curiously. I pull out the bag of cubes and she gasps.

"This is 2,100 cubes. Lets get spending. Wouldn't it be nice to buy some fancy and more fresh groceries?"

She nodded excitedly. The first place we go to is a big warehouse. It's packed with people shopping and tables full with different products. I grab Silver before she can run away.

"Before you go get lost I'm giving you half of this. Don't go crazy, we'll need the extra money. I'll be by the gun section, 'kay?"

Silver nods and then I give her half of the cubes. Her and her white hair disappear in the crowd as she bounces away. I laugh a little at her excitement.

I push my way through the people going towards the weapons. I scan through some of the stands. Some of the guns were made in honor of the Choosing, and I just skip over those.

I see a stand with a beautiful flintlock pistol. It had feathers and swirls on it. It's different then my other gun which is a double barrel, while this one had a single barrel.

"Excuse me," The person who runs the stands looks at me from where he's working. "How much is this gun?"

"2,100."

I give him a doubtful look. "Does it even have a holster?" I ask.

"Extra 100." He says, and I gave him a challenging glare.

"I wouldn't give you that much even if this was the best gun in the world."

"Well, what will make you take missy?"

I pick up the gun looking at it.

"I'll be sold if I can do it at 950 and the holster comes free and I get to test it."

He grunts. "Fine. A low deal is better than no deal. Go ahead, test it."

I turn around and just my luck, some kid getting backed up against a wall.

"Get out of the way! Or be in the way of a dangerous projectile."

People look at me and their eye's widen, and they quickly move. I aim the pistol at the ground in front of that bully. I fire and everything goes silent, the gunshot ringing in the air.

The bully looks around and gives the stuff back to the other kids and quickly scampers away. I turn around to the shocked storekeeper. "So, 950 was it?"

***

I put my new gun in its holster and hook it onto my belt. Silver comes up to me returning the rest of the leftover money to me. I ruffle her hair and we walk outside.

"What did you get?" I ask.

"Oh, just some parts to make bomb." Typical Silver. "They are way more high quality than we have back at home. The spare parts are for me to toy around with."

I smiled and we walk towards the arena.

"OK. We best be getting back to the arena."

~~~

We get to our waiting room to see beds set up. We get into the nightclothes and go to bed.

***

I wake up knocking on our door.

"Yes?" I groggily call back.

"An hour till the match!" The voice calls back.

I get up, the same dots swimming in my vision as before we got here. I walk to the attached bathroom to get ready. When I step out of the bathroom, Silver is up and waiting to take her turn. I motion to her and she walks past me, shutting the door.

I take out my new gun loading it. I remember the day before they told us that there would be a match using swords and one using guns.

There would be a forcefield when being shot or sliced at so you would only feel slight pain, but I was still skeptical.

Silver comes out and I immediately start ranting to her. She just sits and listens.

That's one of the things I enjoy about her She always listening and understanding.

Before I knew it, a person comes and knocks on the door.

"Please report to the arena." The person states before going away.

I take a deep breath and we leave the room.

***

I go up to the box reserved for the fighting factions and I shake hands with the Xennon leader. He gives me a cold glare of confidence and I return it with a crooked grin. He radiates off confidence like he knows he will win. I roll my eyes. He has another thing coming for him.

We walk towards to the assistants that hold the swords we chose yesterday. The audience cheers mostly for the Xennon leader. They might not know who I am, but I do. And I know I am going to win.
