Line of Sight
Hello I recently stumbled on this page and thought I should post something that happened to me.Well this took place last summer and I'll try to remember everybody's exact words!
One weekend in the beginning of summer after school's out, me and my 5 other friends have a major paint ball war and camp out. My five friends are (fake names) Jerry, Mark, Steve, Amy and Crissy. We all around 15 years old.
Now I before I go any further I should probably tell something about myself that is relevant to the story. Although I don't like to brag everyone that knows me will tell you I am a master marksman. Be it Hunting bow, rifle, sling shot or in this case paintball I have very good aiming skills which is why my friends nicknamed me sniper. But on to the story, Amy has a cabin by the lake with two sort of campsites and a maze of trails connecting them so its a sweet place to have paint ball fights. But an interesting twist we only put into the game recently is you can capture someone and tie and gag them. Since none of us are decent knot makers we all use duct tape since its easier and a good gag - my favorite by the way.
To capture someone you had to hit them anywhere besides the head or chest which were kill shots and you would be out of the game. If you were hit elsewhere you had to sit down and wait for the person to come and capture you if he didn't come for some reason after a certain time you could get up and leave.The game ended when one team was either captured or killed. But I hope I haven't bored you with details so here we go.
We arrived at the cabin at about 3:30 pm and we immediately started for the two campsites to pitch the tents which would serve as bases then teams were chosen. The teams were me, Chrissy and Mark against Jerry, Steve and Amy. With that done the stage was set and we went to our bases.
"What should we do first guys?" Chrissy asked.
Mark shrugged but I said "I will do some spying on them".
"Ok go" Mark said "We'll wait here for your report"
Then we started giggling cuz lets face we are not a serious bunch of people and talking like that just struck us as funny. Any way I set off into the bush not on the trail since I'm a sniper and stick to the trees for cover. To describe what I was wearing I had on my favorite army camouflage I got for my birthday so it provided great protection since people couldn't see me very well. I also had my special paint ball gun which has I nice scope on it so I can be decently far away and take a shot.
Anyway I was creeping along and hello I spotted Steve walking along the trail rather slowly. Now my first mistake was getting closer (I have a bad habit of trying to get as close as I can for fun to people) my second mistake was toying with Steve. I was only about 10 feet from him and I aimed a shot to the right of his head and pulled the trigger. The shot splattered on a tree beside him. All of a sudden he pointed in my direction and yelled "SNIPERS HERE". Suddenly Amy and Jerry popped out of the bushes and saw me instantly and painted me in both of my thighs. DAMMIt, I thought but there was nothing I could do.
They walked over to me and pulled out a roll of duct tape and wrapped it a few times around my wrists behind my back.
"Lets go Sniper", Amy said. Steve couldn't stop laughing at my error.
We walked back to their base where I was sat on a stump where my legs were taped. Then Amy walked over to me and pulled off a long piece of tape and carefully placed it over my lips. She then she sat down on my knee.
"Thank you Sniper, we couldn't have down it without you".
I was puzzled at what she ment so Jerry stepped in.
"We knew we couldn't have risked an attack on your base with you around so we waited and set up a trap knowing you would try your little recon sniper thing" he said. "And now that your safely away at our base it should be easy to overun your allies."
She leaned in and kissed me on the cheek (Did I mention that Amy has short black hair great body and is a huge flirt? she does it to all of us). Then she said "Hog tie him in the tent. We'll have a snack and then go finish them off!"
I was carried to the tent layed down on a sleeping bag and securely hog tied. I tried moving and wriggling but it was no use I was stuck good. For awhile I listened to them talk couldn't quite hear what they were mumbling but then I heard a few laughs with foot steps coming to the tent. Steve opened up the tent and he had a huge mustard stain on his pants. I immediately started giggling even though my mouth was taped shut. He slapped me lightly on the cheek and said "You won't be so funny after we get snipe so lay quiet there while I change".
He threw a towel over my head so I couldn't see him change and withdrew it after he was done.
"Bye Bye Sniper" he said.
All I could say back was "mmmmmmmmppphhhh!" He said something else but I wasn't listening I was staring at his discarded pants lying beside me or more specifically the shiny object in the pocket he forgot about. His pocket knife!!I heard them leave and made my move. I rolled on to my side and tried to grab the knife from his pocket. It took a few tries but I finally clenched it in my taped hands. In a few short minutes I was free!
I grabbed a spare roll of duct tape and left the tent. I walked over to the stump and almost laughed from the irony. My paintball gun! I was amazed they didn't take it with them but there was no time to think about that I had to go and help my teammates. I started off but stopped suddenly and I thought "They have made it there already and have probably captured someone.They might even be on their way back maybe I should for them here? I walked into the bush for about 20 feet and squatted behind a rock I had a clear view of their campsite so all I had to was wait.
A few minutes past when I saw movement on the trail. When they came into view I was glad I stayed behind. Amy walked proudly up front while Jerry and Steve carried Crissy who was taped around her wrists and feet and torso. She also had a large amount of tape on her mouth. They entered the camp and sat their captive on the stump.
"Well with Crissy captured and Mark been killed I'd say the game goes to us", Amy gloated. "Go get other prisoner would you Jerry?", she asked.
Jerry walked over and unzipped the tent and immediately cried out "Oh Shit , he's gone". They started looking around into the bush worriedly. Through the cross hairs I could've easily painted Jerry or Steve but Amy was behind Crissy and once the action started it would've got bad.
"Do you think he's watching us?" asked Steve.
"Hmmm I'm not sure, but I bet he went and tried to help at his own base it takes awhile to get there by bush and not by trail so who knows?", Amy said.
"Well he's probably talking to Mark right now", Jerry decided. "We have to be ready for him".
"Well I can't wait anymore I've been holding it for a long while I'm going to pee by the beach before I explode!", said Steve.
"Take your gun with just incase Steve", Amy said.
With that Steve started along a trail that led to the beach shore. I couldn't believe my luck or their carelessness. I silently followed Steve to the beach with him always in my cross hairs.
That is part one I'll be back in a bit for the conclusion what did you guys think?it was a fun summer!
