Paintball pt 1 (Florence POV)
Florence shook as she put her pads on. She wondered why Captain Harlow had chosen her for such an important event. Although she had been forced to learn how to hunt deer and such, she wasn't that great compared to the rest of her family. Either way, however how had Captain Harlow known she could shoot? She grabbed her gun and casually walked back towards the field, knowing she couldn't back out now. She got several stares from the crowd, but they were different than the ones she usually got around the school. There seemed to be admiration flowing out from her audience as she made it over to her dorm captain.
"Alrighty then!" Began the referee, smiling kindly at her, "Each team has five minutes to get to opposite sides of the field and discuss a strategy. I'll blow the whistle when it's time to start." She pulled out a stopwatch and pressed a couple buttons, "And go!" Olivia's team headed towards the right and Captain Harlow lead Florence and the curly-haired blonde girl to the left.
Once they got to their starting location, Florence asked, "So, Captain Harlow, what's her name?"
"You can just call me Reese," she said before pointing over to the girl, "her name's Amiya."
"Nice to meet you!" Amiya said cheerfully.
"Uh, nice to meet you too." Florence responded, surprised by her enthusiasm.
"Now that you've both been introduced, let's talk about our game plan." Said Reese, drawing out the field and a few large obstacles in the loose dirt, "Knowing Olivia, she's probably going to head down the middle." She drew an arrow pointing straight through the main path, "Amiya and I are going to go ahead and charge straight at them before splitting them up. Florence, you need to stay two thirds of the way back and cover us. Try and pick the best time to shoot them, and don't waste your ammo." Florence nodded, understanding the plan.
"So, you want me to pick them off as they're going for you?"
"Exactly." Reese smiled, obviously excited about the battle ahead. The whistle sounded, and the three girls took off. Reese and Amiya continued running as Florence found herself a decent vantage point. She used a few simple camouflage tactics, such as covering herself with dirt and leaves, to try to hide her jet-black protective gear. She heard a few shots and looked at the direction they were coming from. Just as Reese had predicted, Olivia and Amy were visible going down the middle path. Amiya lured Amy away to the right with a few sporadic shots and Reese did the same with Olivia on the left. Amiya quickly outmaneuvered the tall girl and shot her square between the shoulder blades. Amy yelled out in frustration before another gunshot was heard and Amiya had been hit. Florence could only assume that Trix had been hiding nearby and sniped her. Reese, seemingly aware of the situation, ran over to where Amiya had been standing, Olivia still on her tail. Trix obviously tried unloading all her paintballs on her as Florence heard them splatter against the ground and on nearby obstacles. Reese found her at some point and shot her, before heading to a large clearing that was in range of Florence's fire.
