The reception area was bustling with various bodies and activity but it wasn't at all difficult to spot the Airsoft crew. All that could be seen milling about the open space of the grey building was a sea of forest camouflage and replica weapons. In the centre of the crowd was Galya. Galya stood with her back to the entrance, her long, waist length hair jet black hair tied neatly in a pleat, her slim, athletic, feline build, her firm ass, the way her white tiger tail twitched it was all too much for Amethyst, who felt her cheeks colour. Galya instinctively turned to face the door and beamed when she realised Amethyst and friends were walking towards her.
She glanced at Amethyst with her piercing emerald green eyes and said in her cute Russian accent "Ah! My favourite trio of trouble has finally arrived."
She grabbed Amethyst in a tight suffocating hug and air kissed both of her cheeks before she stood to attention giving the troupe orders. This meant that the game could get under way and that the group was on the move. The pile of furs that had been lounging about on the floor grabbed their belongings and followed closely behind the white tigress. There was a ripple of excited chatter and the boys were bouncing between folk catching up with all the gossip. Harvey made sure to stay as close as possible to Jareth especially while Amethyst was too busy catching up with her own clique of Airsoft buddies. The group crested a large and steep hill and were greeted by an abandoned army barracks, buried deep in the heart of the forest. There were a few gasps of astonishment throughout the crowd, they had not been told that the games would be mostly close quarters but there were certainly no complaints. Galya stopped, turned to face her friends and started to explain where the safe zone was, what time they would be stopping for a bite to eat and the rules for the first part of the game. The tigress divided the group into one red team and one blue team. She handed Amethyst a blue arm band and gave her a wink. Amethyst shrugged, she was a bit disappointed at having to be on the opposite team to Harvey and Jareth. However, felt that it was only appropriate considering their display on the balcony earlier and at that moment she really wanted to inflict some small amount of pain on them both.
The game was in full swing. All around the two teams were sounds of glass breaking, the stomp of booted and hoofed feet, yelps of pain, 'medic' cries and Beeb fire resounding through the derelict buildings that time had forgotten. For a change the game was evenly matched, unlike previous games where the reds beat the blues with ease. Perhaps it was the fresh air or just simply the excitement. Amethyst was crouched underneath a window ledge covering Galya who was just ahead pressed closely against a wall at the bottom of a rickety flight of stairs. Amethyst watched the feline with all her quiet gracefulness and wished that she was less of a klutz. Amethyst heard the ground crack outside the window, so she cautiously peered over the ledge. The enemy were no where to be seen but she did spot two familiar shapes walking towards the safe zone. She wanted to shout after them, point and laugh that they couldn't handle the pressure but it would have given away her position, something she wasn't about to do when her team were so close to winning this round. She assumed they had used their medic lifelines - which was odd for them - and that they were dead men walking. It just meant they would sit this round out and that while they were walking no one could fire at them. Galya signalled for Amethyst to follow, they were about to take the red flag. Shuffling quickly to where Galya had been standing Amethyst watched intently as the gorgeous white tigress climbed carefully up the shabby, broken stairs. A sudden burst of Beeb fire and a chorus of 'Hit!' signified that the blue team had just shot the red defence and as a result captured the flag winning the round. A joyful cheer echoed through the empty rooms. Galya blew her whistle to let the group know the game was over and to make their way back to the safe zone.
Amethyst wanted to get back to the safe zone so she could gloat, just a little, to Harvey and Jareth about how the blue team had finally conquered the reds and how it was in fact a gloriously sweet victory. At least that was her plan until she noticed that they weren't there. Amethyst sighed quietly to herself and waited for Galya to do a head count. She would no doubt ask where Harvey and Jareth were and it was question that the luvine wouldn't be able to answer without admitting what her paranoid mind was thinking over and over again.
Jareth and Harvey were completely unaware that anyone had seen them leave and it didn't bother them because they were too distracted. The sexual tension between the two of them was mounting rapidly. They chased each other through the forest, ducking and diving behind trees and were just having a laugh with each other. Jareth who wasn't paying full attention to where he was running, tripped over a tree stump and landed flat on his tail. He pouted and started to chuckle.
"You stupid bugger!" Harvey exclaimed sitting down next to Jareth.
"That's what I get for running too fast, stupid tree stump came out of nowhere! Bloody hurt though."
