Adopted by The Pack

Chapter 34

After the map, we all finished the video with Preston asking if they wanted more videos with me in them. He sent it off to their editor, and we all stayed on the map, chatting.

"That felt nice to do something normal for a change." Jerome said. Everyone agreed, except for me. Growing up in the orphanage, I hadn't had a day that was just "normal." Then moving in with Preston and Brianna, we had started having the dreams, so I never knew their definition of normal. Realizing I had zoned out, I heard everyone saying bye, and disconnecting. I left the voice chat, and lay on my bed, wondering what Mitch was going through.
Preston's POV
I sat in my chair, gazing at my main monitor, when I saw something pop up on another screen. Leaning over, I find that it's a message from Mitch.

"HEY GUYS! COME UP HERE!!" I shouted, which was soon followed by the thunder of five pairs of feet.

"What is it Preston?" Lachlan asked.
"I just got a message from Mitch. I haven't read it yet, but look!" I said, pointing to my right screen. They all crowded around it, reading the message.

Hey dudes! I just got away from the guards, but they'll probably be coming back any second now. I'm in a cell that is filled with stuff that will keep our powers from working, or at least Vikk's. I haven't had enough energy to try turning invisible yet. If they say anything about me getting tortured, don't believe them. Also, properly induct Ash to the Pack.

It left off there. He probably had more to say, but was likely discovered by the guards.

"What does he mean by properly inducting me to the Pack?" Ashley asked, breaking the silence. We all looked at Vikk to answer.

"So, what we do is  we give the person some of all our merch, devote an entire video to them coming in, and we post the vid on all of our channels, including theirs. Which means we need to make you a channel." Vikk explained to Ash. "Because Mitch isn't here, we'll probably just have Jerome give you his merch and Mitch's."

"So, I'm getting a checkered hoodie, a Sidemen t-shirt, a fire hoodie, which I already have, a shirt from Lachlan, a bacca shirt from Jerome, and a fish fish fish t-shirt from Rob?" We all nodded, and left to go get it all. Well, except for me. I stayed behind to help set up Ashley's new channel.
Mitch's POV
"We need you to contact the rest of the "Pack", as you call yourselves. Make it sound like everything is alright. When you finish, I will check it over and make sure you aren't telling them anything helpful." The guy said. I nodded, and sat down with the junky laptop they gave me. Quickly writing something down, I showed it to the guard, and then "sent" it. He stood up and left, foolishly leaving me with the laptop. I quickly added helpful info to the message, and sent it. Right after it finished sending, the boy popped in.

"Why do you still have the laptop?" He asked me.

"Because that guy left it. All I wanted to do was play Minecraft Hunger Games." I answered.

"Too bad. Leave the PC here, and come with me." He said. I hesitated, until I saw his hands changing into bear paws, with very long claws. "Don't try me." Quickly standing up, I followed him, knowing he had my life in his han- er... paws right now.
