The Housepet Games: Chapter Seven
Chapter Seven
Grape sheathed her sword as King vanished in a cloud of
smoke. She couldn't say she was happy
about that part. The vanishing bodies
took away from the realism of it all.
Then again, what had she expected?
Tarot had told them there would be no over-the-top violence.
The cannon boomed in the distance, displaying both Max and
King's faces. She'd lost her partner,
and that didn't make her happy either.
Max may not have been as amazing as he'd claimed, but having him with
her could only increase her odds of staying alive. Now there were only three players left:
herself, Peanut, and Bino. Grape
chuckled to herself. Who would have
thought that the fleabrained Bino would make it this far?
As she set off into the forest once again, she began to
wrack her brains for some sort of strategy.
She'd seen Peanut run into the woods with a great big he probably had no
idea how to use, but she had no idea what weapons Bino had on him- if
anything. The best plan of action would
be to...
A loud ruckus came from her right, and Grape spun around to
face it, drawing her sword.
"AAAAAAH!" Peanut screamed, running at her from the trees,
his axe held above his head.
"Peanut, wait!" Grape shouted, lowering her sword. The pup stopped midstep, looking at her
expectantly.
"Let's form an alliance!" she said, smiling.
Peanut lowered his axe and looked at her in confusion,
"Why?" he asked.
"Because you, me, and Bino are the only ones left," Grape
answered. Her smile turned into a
sadistic grin, "Wouldn't it be fun to take him down together?"
"Well, yeah," Peanut agreed.
"But won't we still have to fight each other anyway?"
"That's the point, Peanut!" Grape explained. "If we take down Bino together, then no
matter what happens, one of us will win.
And we'll get to make a proper final battle out of it!"
"With lots of epicness?" Peanut exclaimed, tail wagging.
"Enough epic for you to choke on!" Grape confirmed, holding
out her paw.
"Deal!" the pup agreed, grabbing her paw and shaking it
vigorously.
"All right, then!" Grape said, turning and
leading the way. "Let's go kill us a
jerk!"
