"So who are you exactly?" Astrid asked, opening the door to let the new girl come in.

Axel stopped Astrid from opening the door any further, "We can't just let anybody in! She might be here to eavesdrop on our plan!" I folded my arms, "You mean our plan to walk into a shed that says do not enter! (or die)?" "Would've been way better if you guys just let me talk" Damian grumbled.

Astrid placed a reassuring hand on Damian's arm. "It's a great plan, Damian." Personally, I think that it's basically suicide but what do I know? Nothing. You know nothing. That was a rhetorical question, you didn't need to answer. I know, that's the point.

"Hello?" The girl knocked again. Axel sighed, "Fine. Let her in, find out who she is and what she wants, then she's OUT" Astrid opened the door to let her in, "Okay, fine by me"

"Take a seat!" I rushed her to the living room excitedly. Not sure why but I feel like something exciting is about to go down and I am here for it! "Oh- um.. My name is Amanda Kallistar. I'm new here!" Then Axel started bombarding her with questions, "What are you doing here? Who sent you? Where are you from? What are your powers? And where do you buy your perfume?" The poor girl looked so uncomfortable that she got up and sat beside Connor instead.

Amanda shifted in her seat, "W-Well, the perfume came from back home, at my kingdom." "Kingdom?" I asked. I realized she wasn't wearing a spy suit with a little symbol on the side. She was wearing a light pink layered skirt with lacy ruffles, a white long-sleeve shirt, fuzzy bracelets on both wrists, and a pink and white plaid cropped jacket to match the skirt. With her blonde wavy hair and expensive looking pink clothes, she looks like a rich teenage barbie. I wonder what she's doing here, she looks like a regular human.

You look like a regular human.

Fair point.

"I don't mean to sound rude, but, why are you here?" Astrid asked.
"W-Well some girl named Christi and her twin told me to come here" Amanda explained. Axel looked around confused, "Christi? Who's Christi?"
Astrid groaned, her head lolled back, "I should have known.. They're giving our fake names again."

I tilted my head in confusion, "Christi was the girl who did the speech thing at the cafeteria yesterday, right?"

Damian's brows furrowed in concentration, "Uh, no. That was Alexia and Alex"
I opened my mouth, but closed it when I realized that I had nothing to say anyway.

Axel shook his head. "That doesn't make sense, why would she lie about her name when everyone else knows her real name?"
Connor shrugged. "Maybe it's her idea of a prank?"

The girl—Amanda, I remembered, wasn't from here. "So, I'm not supposed to be here?" Amanda asked.

I just shrugged.

Astrid suggested. "We should ask someone-"
Connor immediately objected. "She can stay!"

I glared at my dumb brother, are you serious? He just crossed his arms.

Seems like this place is messing with Connor's brain cuz now he's even more stubborn than before!


Astrid and Connor's bickering was cut off when someone punched a hole through our door, 

"Oooh, boss is gon' be real happy bout' this"
