Adopted by The Pack

Chapter 37

As we wandered the forest, we soon found a clearing.
Hey guys, how does this look? Preston asked us.
Looks good to me. Also, Vikk, can you make it where we can talk in our heads, so no one overheard us? I asked.
Sure I can. He said. Soon, I heard a familiar Aussie ascent in my head.
Ash? Can you hear me? Lachlan said.
Yes. This working for you too? I replied, gaining a yes from him. Can everyone hear this, or just one person? I asked, resting any limits.
I hear you, but I don't know about anyone else. Preston answered.
I guess this way could be easier, with only talking to one person at a time, and if needed, Vikk could tell us all at the same time. I said to him. Eventually, we all began to practice, but instead of everyone doing their own thing, we trained together. We tried seeing if Rob could cause plants to grow up and act like a shield. Preston tried to give us all fire resistance, knowing that if anything happened, Rob could grow herbs that make a healing salve. Which he had to do. A lot. We already knew that Lachlan could teleport us all whenever we're touching, so he practiced with us simply in sight, and then eventually us all outside of the clearing. We did find though, that he can't do it if we're more than a mile away from him. Jerome's power couldn't be added to us, like how Vikk's could, or mine. When we started working more together, combining powers, we had Rob surround a "person" with little pine trees, and Preston set fire to it. This led to Lachlan teleporting out to get us a lot of water, coming back, and then Jerome getting the water up to douse out the fire. They got a ton of practice out of that. Finally, near the end of the night, we were all worn out.
Guys, we need to get up now. Preston's taking us to church with him. Vikk said. We all nodded, and eventually woke up.
**end of dream**

Preston's POV
As I got up, I saw that I had a new message. Glancing over, I saw that it was from Mitch. I quickly scanned over it, reading the message.
Hey doods! Using this run down piece of junk, I was able to watch the vlog that you all uploaded. How on earth did you put me in there?! Also, I think that the guards will probably read all these messages when they take the laptop back, so don't reveal any possible plans. And Ash, I'm so glad you're a part of the Pack now!
The message ended there.

"Hey guys! I have another message from Mitch!" I yelled out my door. The Pack instantly appeared in my room, with Lachlan leaning over, looking very pale. "You okay there Lachlan?" I asked him.

"Yeah, just not too pleasant of a feeling after doing it so much last night." He replied.

"Ok. I'll read it out loud for you." I said, and turned back to the screen.

After reading it, we all began to to discuss it.

"That must have been weird for him, seeing what looks like himself when he's locked up in a cell." Ashley said.

"We should reply, so he knows we're reading these. Let's say something like, where he knows to try and turn invisible without the guards knowing, in case they take the laptop." Jerome said. Immediately we all began brainstorming.

After a while, we had it all planned out, but we would wait to send it until after church.
Hey Mitch! Long time, no see, right? You're right, that wasn't actually you in the video, but we'll tell you about that next time we see you. Ashley says that she's glad to call herself a part of the Pack. We'll update you if anything happens, but for now, bye!
With that, we called it good and went and got ready for church.
