"You all have... well, I wouldn't say powers. You are what we call Lunites. Let me explain. Every moon cycle, You will get a different ability. The ability depends on the month. For example, if it was March, which is the storm moon, you might be able to conjure storms out of thin air. But, for some months, it is different. Your abilities will not follow the moon cycle. Such as in July, the hay moon. It's like a wild card for some months. Oh, and there's two abilities that you will always keep, no matter the month. You can do magicae lunae, or in English, moon magic. The other thing, I will let you see for yourself. But, we will do that tomorrow. There are clothes in your drawers in your room. Don't worry," the voice says teasingly,"I'll close my eyes." The intercom turns off and I hear the door locks click for us to go back to our rooms. As I head back to my room, I am nervous, but also really angry. I go in and look all around for a camera or a hidden camera, but I can't find any. I settle for sleeping in what I'm wearing for now, but I know I can't wear this outfit forever. I'll have to change soon. The lights turn off. I lay down in my bed and I think about everything. I can't have so-called "abilities" I don't remember anything, but... but, I just can't! And then I realize something. If I had my old life out there, how'd I get down here? I get up. But then I realize it must be late so I lay my head back down, and with all of these things swirling through my mind, I eventually fall asleep.
