Chapter ten
The game had five women, all with powers of different sorts, put up against one lone Hannah, for some reason. The others were allowed to see as well. For her part, she was required to not only dodge the incoming fire, but to try and target each of the others, while running, teleporting away, flying and at one point, crawling through a bush that ripped the skin off of her face and hands.
She managed parts of it, of course. For instance, the part where she was clearly hit far more with the multi-colored paint than anyone else was a solid win for Hannah. A few times she accidently closed with the others, and had to grapple or fight with them, physically.
Each of those times she was tossed around and struck, if lightly, even as she tried to get out of the way, knowing what was coming. Mainly because they never came at her one at a time. Three on one was the most popular trick for the women. One that worked really well. Each time, in order to simply survive the game, sheâd had to teleport away. Holding to the inside of the wall of the estate.
On the nice side, less than an hour after theyâd started, the game changed for her a little. At first, she thought it might be that she, finally, was getting better at telling what was about to take place, but that wasnât the truth. No, it was that everyone else was being rendered blind by the night.

Sort of. The whole thing turned into a game of ambush hide and seek, with her doing a better job of knowing where attacks were going to come from and the others all beating her in every other way. In the end she was caught and held down, by Veronica and Vidya, as Kate and Devya both stood there, touching her lightly, changing the location information of her attempted escape, constantly. Locking her in place. She was doing it right, but wasnât powerful enough to overcome what they were bringing into being, which was, simply enough, an instruction that said she was there.
Finally, she had to laugh. It was that or make a pitiful moaning sound.
âWell! That works. I surrender?â She half expected Patty to beat her for that, but was let up, with Vidya giving her a hug.
âThat wasnât bad! Next time Iâll be the defender? Next week?â
Hannah shook her head.
âThree days? We can use it for entertainment one of the nights for the campout? Though, we should probably give you a partner for that. Who are you selecting to mentor, out of the new crew? Before you grab the obvious one, Todd is already working with Heline from Ryhh.â
Pulling the blindfold off, she could see the
