Hazels POV
Griffins acting weird. Pitch refuses to notice though. Its like she doesn't want to notice. "Hey Pitch?" I asked. "What?" She asked. She's trying to fix her grappling hook. "Have you noticed that Griffin is acting weird?" I asked. She stopped for a moment and turned her head to look at me. "Griffin has a lot to do. She gets busy just like the rest of us" she said. "But she's not acting normal" I said. "Griffins fine, ok!" She yelled, standing up from her desk. I took a step back. She took a deep breath. "She's fine. Just don't mention this to anyone" she said. "Ok" I left.
I snuck into Griffins closet and crawled to the top shelf. Its dark and dusty but at least she wont see me. Sitting in places like this makes me realize I'm very small. Anyway, here she comes. She came in and sat down on her bed. She opened her laptop and sighed. She started clicking away at the keys. I heard footsteps. Pitch came in. "Hey Griffin?" Pitch asked. "What's up?" Griffin asked. "Why have you been acting differently?" Pitch asked. That bitch knew I was right. "Its nothing you need to worry about" Griffin said. "I'm not worried, but certain other members of the team are" Pitch said. Griffin laughed. "Hazel I'm guessing" she said. I frowned. "Yeah. Are you sure your ok?" Pitch asked. "I'm fine Pitch" Griffin said. "Ok, I'll see you later" Pitch left.
Griffin shut her laptop and went over to the door. She closed it and locked it. She put her laptop on her desk and walked to her closet. I stopped breathing and just stared. "Its not nice to eavesdrop" Griffin said. She punched the top shelf and it came lose. I rolled off the shelf and Griffin caught me in her arms. "What exactly are you trying to do?" Griffin asked. "Uh... good question" I said nervously. She dropped me. "Ow" I huffed. "Hazel, don't worry about me. I'm fine. Everything couldn't be better" Griffin lied. I don't like this. I'm an actress. I know when people are acting. The way she stands tells me that she's trying to trick me. Her arms crossed means she knew this would happen. Worst of all, that smug look on her face tells me that I'm not getting out of this. "What have you been hiding? If its not such a big deal than why hide?" I asked. She chuckled. "You are smart. I'll give you that" she said, taking a step closer. I backed into the wall. Her face became inches from mine and she smirked. "What are you doing Griffin?" I asked. "My job" she said. She pinned her hands to the wall on either side of me. I gulped. "Griffin... you don't want to do this" I said. "I want to survive Hazel. This is the only way, and when I'm done, you wont say a word. Got it?" She said. For my own safety, I nodded. "Good" she said.
Pitch's POV
"So do you all think that Griffin is acting weird?" I asked. "No" Harper said, sharpening her dagger. "Whos Griffin?" Pyro asked as she hung from the ceiling by her feet. "You know who she is" I huffed. Pyro giggled and then fell onto the couch. That looked like it hurt. "Girls, dinner!" Michael called. We sat at the table. "Where's Hazel and Griffin?" He asked. "I can go get them if you need" I said. "No need. I'm right here" Griffin sat down. "Where's Hazel?" I asked. "She wasnt feeling well" Griffin stared at Michael. "Ok then, dig in girls" he said and walked away. Michael went upstairs. I looked at Harper. She nodded at me. Somethings going on. "Pyro? Can you get your dad real quick?" I asked. "Sure! Dad!" Pyro ran up the stairs. If Pyro sees something, she'll call for us. At least I hope so.
Hazels POV
I'm in my room. I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to think about it. I don't ever want to see Griffin again. Michael came into my room. He shut the door. "I assume Griffin shared my little secret" he said. I sat up in my bed and stared at him. "Why" I snapped. "That's for me to know and you to find out" he said. I shook my head in disbelief. "Why Griffin?" I asked. "Oh please. She's the strongest out of all of you. There's a reason she's not out in the field and is just the tech girl. If she were out there than I wouldn't need any of you" he said. "And why are you telling me about this now?" I asked. "Because I have a feeling that Griffin gave you a good reason to keep your mouth shut, didn't she?" He said. I looked down. "Good" he said. I heard footsteps running up the stairs. "Dad!" Pyro yelled coming in the room. "What!? What do you want Piper?" he spat. She hesitated, seeing my state. "Come eat with us" she said calmly. He groaned. "Go back downstairs. I'll join you in a moment" he said. Pyro left. He glared at me before leaving my room.
