THE OLD LADY 3.

The rule of the game was to search for Five buried gold coins and shoot against any opponent that comes your way as long as it isn't your colour. The student positioned at various lane of the forest.

"Are we ready!!!" Bodie blasted and winked at a girl who blushed.

"Yes we are!!" They chorused. He then blew a whistle and everyone disembarked. Anastasia was good in this game. She often play treasure hunt back in her large garden with moving toys as her opponent. She gave her team critical guide on how to win which they adhere to. Venessa and her team entered deep the forest and made sure they protected themselves from being plasted. Troy dugged the ground below them if he could see any trace of a gold coin but rather he found a bone which he showed to venessa.

"Hahaha!!! That's akward!" Clitton laughed. Venessa collected the bone. She liked it because it was still fresh and glowing. At least she had always wished to be an explorer.

"Don't you think we should start going? This part of the forest was not included in the search" Thelma said as she was frightened.

"You sure don't want to be shot by the other colours" Troy posed.

"And who knows, the treasure might be found in this part" venessa added bringing out her camera for photos.

"Come on everyone gather around for a selfie!" She beckoned while the tired team gathered around .

Anastasia had lost two of her team mates. They weren't careful enough. The rest five came to a Brooke which was a distance from the others, who were still at the middle of the forest.

"Am so tired" Julius wailed as he sat down on the sand heaped up.

"Where are we going to fine the treasure?"Zac queried and he sat along with Julius. They were from different academies.

"Plump lady were are you taking us to?" Flora mocked as she pulled her hair from the hat she worn.

"Where my instincts leads me to" she replied boiling with anger.

"Oh it's because she was caught by Bodie that's why she has such courage" Paul teased. Anastasia bow low at the Brooke, she was thirsty and needed to take water.

"She never does anything right... We wouldn't have listen to her" Julius bellowed and the others murmured behind her. As Anastasia fetched the water, she could see something spark below it. She smiled mischievously and picked it!! She has just found a gold coin!.

"Hey guys seems my wrong directions led us to the treasure!" She yelled as there was silence amongst them.

"Wow not bad" Flora mused, coming closer to anastasia.

"Hey let's go back to camp"Paul yelled excitedly.

"It's not over yet fools" flora muttered.

"That's true we only found one we need to find four more" Zac added as they all groaned and left the Brooke.

"Found it!!!" Beauty roared as she jumped happily while the rest praised her. They were only four now as the others were being shot.

"Now, we've got to find the rest" beauty connoted anx the rest nodded in affirmation. They suddenly ran and hid amongst the trees and tall grasses at the sight of the yellows.

"Fire!!!" Beauty roared and they began to shot. Their guns blew out red paints which signifies the yellow were killed by the reds.

"Damn!!!" Lilian screamed. She was shot by the yellow. She fell to the ground as though dead.

"Run!!!" Beauty ordered. The rest ran away while the remaining yellows chased them.

"Three more to go" Troy praised as vennesa chuckled. She placed the two coins in her bag.

"No retreat!!!..."

"No surrender!!" Her team yelled.

"Am hungry already!!" Cliton wailed as he sat lazily on the grass.

"Come on... We can't afford to lose!!" Stella cautioned, pulling him up.

"Arghhh not now!!" Troy lamented. He had been shot by the reds.

"Everyone retreat!!!" Venessa ordered as they all ran towards the trees and creating shield for themselves against the reds with big leaves.

"Make sure you get those coins from them bitches!!" Beauty roared as they chased venessa and her team.

Anastasia and her team arrived at a toy house, which was surrounded by little hedges. They had found two coins in their quest and needed one more to be declared the winner since theirs would be the highest.

"Are you sure this is the right place" flora questioned disgusted by the way Anastasia cleaned the sweat off her face by swiping it with her fingers.

"Every place isn't right for you flora!!" Paul retort as he crossed over the hedge and stood at the entrance. Anastasia studied the place. She has been here with spark before.

"Guys the door ain't opening!!" Paul posed as he struggled.

"Why don't we return to camp? We are okay with the two we got!" Julius suggested. The three began to mumur amongst themselves except anastasia who was already tired and hungry. She wasn't having fun any longer.

"No!! We need at least three to be declared the..."

"Could you all shut up let me concentrate!!?" Paul retort amd everyone was silent.

"I can feel something under my feet" he said as he bent low and found a key which he raised high and everyone hailed him. He opened the door and realized that inside had a lot of cobwebs. He swallowed hard and stepped aside.

"Why don't the lead go first" he suggested as the rest paved way for Anastasia. When was she ever the team leader?. She walked to the door and glanced at Paul. He was frightened by the cobwebs and didn't want to show it. She bow low and entered because the door was spacious. She went deeper using a stick to clear off the cobwebs. She was scared by what she swag. Bones were being hung like chandeliers. The house suddenly looked bigger from the inside. Anastasia couldn't muster the courage to move further and she decided to go back but when she turned behind, the door was locked. She ran towards the door and banged it.

"Please open up!!!" She yelled and cried along. She wished spark was there with her. But animals were prohibited from the game. Maybe she was being tricked by her team since the four were from the same academy except her. They had the coins with them too. In her panick state, she could hear footsteps approaching towards her side. She quickly hid behind a large cupboard which stood by the side of the door.

"We lost it to them again!!" A creepy voice roared.

"Even with the portion" a voice questioned. Anastasia prayed hard not to be found she wondered how she would escape. She raised her head slowly and gasped at the sight before her. Hot tears began to stream from her eyes. She close her mouth with her palms so that a sound wouldn't be heard from her. she saw two half humans standing, from their waist downward was the shape of a horse. Behind them, stood an old woman with horns. The bones which was hunged earlier emitted different colours.

"They await vamary awaken!!" The second barked hoisting a sharp blade.

"We must have our revenge!!!"the old woman roared. The two creatures grunt and stamped their hoof loudly.

"Shush!!! I perceive a human!!!" She whispered as her noise twingled. It grew big and fell to the ground. She crawled on her feet in a hast towards the cupboard and sniffed it.

"Madame!!! They are here!!" The former beckoned as the three disappeared all of a sudden. Anastasia was now behind a shelve. Earlier, she heard the woman say she has perceived her and her eyes were swift enough to notice a shelve which was an inches away. She crawled on her belly and hide behind it. Immediately the three creatures vanished, the door flew open!!.

"Anastasia!!!" A deep voice called. She could see aray of light from the door. She stood up and ran towards it. It was Bodie. She was covered with tears and suddenly hugged him. Outside the house stood her team and other students.they had worried faces on.

"It's okay i'm here now" he whispered as she buried her head on his broad chest. She knew she would have passed out any moment from now if wasn't found.
