"Our plan is to infiltrate the ranks of the enemy. You need to learn to master control over your powers. Any random outbursts and you could be killed. That's why you are here. So once we get operatives inside, they will gather intel. We can use it to plan for attacks, either our own counter attacks or preparation for theirs. It will help gain us the upper hand. So, that said, it's time for you guys to sleep. Get good rest. Training begins tomorrow. You'll learn to use your powers and fight.

The next morning, I woke up to find Wren in the doorway.
"Um... How long have you been there?"
"About five minutes. Good morning to you too."
I stood up, still in my pajamas. Well, they were Katie's, we hadn't gone to get our stuff yet.
"Come on. We're going to get our stuff."
Well, apparently I'm part psychic. I followed him out, groggy and tired. My hair was probably a mess but oh well. We'd been here for what? Three days, right? Yeah, I'd been using a lot of Katie and Amy's stuff. So has Lilly but I don't really know where Wren was getting his. Wren led me to a door in the cafeteria. Upon swinging it open, I saw a staircase. A long one. Just how far under were we? We started walking and continued for a solid 8 minutes. Yeah, I kept track. There was another door at the top and I shoved it open. I winced, stumbling back and covering my eyes. I forgot about the whole sun thing. I was seeing spots for the next hour. As soon as I recovered, I walked out taking in the natural warmth of the sun I hadn't felt in three whole days. I glanced around, those damned sunspots in front of me, and spotted a black Dodge Charger. Nice. The windows were tinted so I couldn't see inside, but after taking a whiff of the air I could tell Lilly was in there. Yep, I had super senses since the whole Unlocking Ceremony thing. Wren, always a gentleman, opened the back door for me and I slipped in right before him. For the whole ride I was sandwiched between these two dorks. We went to each of our houses, Lilly first. She went in and didn't come out for a good fifteen minutes. When she finally returned, she threw like three large suitcases in the trunk.
"Jesus Lily, how much did you need?"
She gave me the most serious look she could ever muster and looked me dead in the eyes.
"All of it."
We went to my house next. I filled a suitcase with all my DVDs, CDs, and books. I need all those, don't judge me. Then I filled a couple duffel bags with clothes and other assorted essentials. I made it back to the car in ten minutes tops. Last but not least, we went to Wren's place. He slipped out of the car and up his driveway. He disappeared through the front door and I turned to Lily.
"So what did you grab?" She asked first, beating me to the punch.
"Clothes, all my books, movies, and CDs, perfume, lotion, candles, you know the expensive shit from Bath and Body Works, and a coup other things. I grabbed my bow and all the arrows I have in my quiver. How about you?"
"Clothes and stuff. I'll show you when we get back. I can't wait to set up our rooms!"
"I know right! I'm so excited for that..."
We talked like that for awhile. Soon, thirty minutes had passed.
"What is he doing in there? I'd better go in and check on him."
"I'll come too." Lily volunteered. I walked in through his green front door-his parents have a weird taste in colors.
"Wren?" I called out. Silence answered me. He would have answered if he could, no matter where he was in the house. I looked at Lily, worried and anxious.
"WREN?!"
