We tried to shove our way up to the front, but only managed to get to the middle of the throng. I got up on Wren's shoulders to see the TV.
"Can somebody turn it up please?" Somebody in the crowd shouted. A second after I could hear what it was saying.
"Here you'll see the latest death site. There was a massive fight here and you can see supernaturals as well as the enemy. The bad news, there's more supernaturals. If we don't do something soon, we might lose the war. You are advised unofficially to move your families to the safe haven. The enemy has not discovered it, and hopefully never will."
The channel cut out after a zoom in on the bodies. I almost fell off Wren. Katie's sister was among the dead. He let me down and I ran over to her. She had scene it and was gripping onto Amy sobbing. I went over and wrapped my arms around her. She clutched onto me and Amy backed up a little bit. Per Kat's Were side, she hugged tight, so Amy was a little grateful I had come along. Since I was Were too, it didn't affect me.

We stayed in Katie's room that night. Well, us girls did. Wren got kicked out. We had gone to dinner but Katie didn't want to. We went back to her room and watched her sister's favorite movies on Netflix until lights out, then played some good ol' truth or dare until about 12. We got some good dares in too. We went to sleep soon after since there was training the next day.

Katie was excused after informing Millennium of what happened. He wasn't heartless, he just had a terrible way of doing what he needed. We realized that now, even if we were reluctant to trust him still. He seemed like the bad guy in this situation. We still didn't know what we were doing here. We went to the same room we had been in yesterday during training. I really hoped we would be let in the know on why we were here.
"Hello guys."
The teacher was perky as always.
"What are we learning today?"
"I'm going to teach you a little about what's going on here and a little about your powers."
Excitement ran through my veins like a racehorse. Even the prospect of getting answers lit me up.
"Take your seats and I'll start."
The room was kind of small, like they didn't expect many newbies in here at once. Deliveries must be small. There was a couch, a love seat, and a recliner. It reminded me of a living room. There was a big bookshelf completely stocked with old looking books. I chose the love seat with Wren and Lilly went to the recliner.
"Ok. So, like I explained yesterday, there is a war. The bad news, we're kind of losing. That's what this is. Kind of like a draft, but not really. Some supernaturals have converted to the enemies cause. The front line has been pushed back and they are still advancing. Hard. We are a secret group developing to take them out from the inside. Powers are strongest at your age range. So you have all been collected to train. We will go in as converters and quietly take them out from inside their own ranks."
