Raven's POV

'What did you see?' I asked Thomas once we all sat in the dining room.

'Not much, but Aris said that the names they call never go to a safe place, they all stay here.' He said quietly so no one else would hear.

'I'm gonna look again, tonight. We're going trough the vents.' He said.

After we had our dinner Minho wanted to go to a practice room. I hadn't seen it yet so I was curious.

When Minho opened the door to the room and I could take a look around. There were a few treadmills and other gym devices. I got on one of the treadmills and putted it on. Then I started running.

After a while I noticed another door in the corner of the room. I got off the treadmill and opened the door, leaving the boys behind. My mouth opened when I looked around me. Everywhere on the walls were hanging guns and bows. In the corner of the room were targets with a red circle in the middle.

'I see you found the other practice room.' A sudden voice said. I turned around and saw Janson standing next to the door. 'Go on, you can use it.' He motioned at the weapons on the wall. 'You can practice here, just shoot at the targets.' He pointed at the plastic targets with a red circle in the middle. 

He walked to a closet and grabbed something out of it. 'You can also use this.' He had a plastic fake torso in his hands. 'I'll leave you alone.' He walked away.

I was still a little shocked by what I've found, but I was gonna give it a try. I didn't completely trust the place yet, and what could go wrong? Some practice to defend myself would never be bad. 

I walked to one of the walls and grabbed a bow and a few arrows. I laid the arrows down on a table and got closer to the target. I grabbed one of the arrows and putted it in the bow. I closed my eye to focus on the target more, and then I let go of the arrow. 

It just missed the red circle and I tried again a few times. After a while I was able to hit the red circle and I putted the bow and arrows away. My eye catched a small gun hanging on the wall and I grabbed it.

I got closer to the fake torso with the gun in my hands. I had no idea how to use it, but when I tried it the bullet landed right into the torso it's chest. I got further away from the target, 20 feet maybe. 

I pulled the trigger and heard a loud bang echo trough the room. The bullet landed into the target it's fake head. 

I was quite good at it. 

I tried another few times and bullets kept flying in the head and chest.

'Damn.' I suddenly heard. I turned around quickly with the gun still in my hands, pointing it at the person. 'Woah.' Minho held his hands in the air. 

'Sorry.' I quickly put the gun down on the table. 

Minho took a look in the room before saying anything else. 'You coming? We're gonna head off to bed.' He said a little impressed by the room.

'Yeah, let's go.' I put the gun back and followed Minho out.

Suddenly the vent opened and Thomas climbed out. 

'We gotta go!' He said quickly.

'Thomas!' The boys shouted.

'We gotta go!' Thomas panicked. 'We gotta go, now!'

'What the hell are you talking about?' Minho asked.

Thomas started running around in the room. 

'Aris, what happend?' Minho asked Aris when Thomas didn't react.
