I hate it, I hate that Teagan's in pain. She's in pain and she doesn't know how to channel her pain. I need to help her learn how to tell us when she's in pain. I love her and I hate to see her this way.

Teagan pulls away from the kissing. "We need to gather up the others, we need to train," She states. I guess she's a little distracted. "Yeah I agree," I respond.

Teagan crawls to the edge of the bed, and reaches to the floor and grabs her metal leg. "Do you want help?" I question. "No thanks," Teagan responds. She slides the prosthetic onto her stub. She straps the metal leg so that it stays on.

"Lets go," Teagan insists. I nod. We walk out of our room and down the hallway to find the others. We find Kacey, Grayson, and Brynn. We also found the kids that showed up this morning with them.

"Where are the others?" Teagan asks Kacey. "In the gym why?" Kacey questions. "We leave next week, we need to train right now," Teagan responds. "Okay" Kacey responds. Kacey looks at me. "Is she alright?" Kacey mouths to me. "Nope" I mouth back.

Kacey, Brynn, Grayson, Teagan, the kids, and I all walk to the gym. We walk in to find Cannon, Julles, and Winston playing basketball.

"It's time to train, but first I have information to tell you guys," Teagan states. Everyone looks at her not saying a thing. "Some of us, we know who we are, will be in the battle at a battle in Alaska on this day next week, even if you don't go you are going to train as if you were going. Do I make this clear?" Teagan spoke. "Yes boss," Cannon speaks. Everyone else nods.

"I want the new kids to come with me and Rylee. Everyone else do what you have to do in order to get stronger," Teagan commands. Everyone nods once again, and does as Teagan had said.

The new kids stand before us. I glance at Teagan, she's looking straight at the kids. "Mattie and Pattie can do fire and ice, what can everyone else do?" Teagan questions the newbies. Nobody answers.

Teagan points at the younger boy, I think his name's Harrison. "What can you do?" Teagan questions him. Harrison laughs awkwardly. Harrison's skin turns into bark off of a tree. "I can become nature," Harrison says. Teagan nods at him, she looks at the Lilith the older girl. "And you?" Lilith immediately smiles. "I can manipulate the truth out of anyone," Lilith sings.

"Prove it," Teagan orders. Lilith looks Teagan straight in the eye, Lilith's eyes turn bright red. "What's the worst thing that could ever happen to you?" Lilith asks Teagan. Teagans eyes fill with tears. "It has already happened. My friends are in danger, my girlfriend's in danger," Teagan limps closer to me and grabs my hand. She doesn't squeeze at all.

Teagan pulls herself together and wipes away the few tears she had allowed to fall. "Teagan looks at Alex, the girl with the red hair. "What can you do?" Teagan questions. "I can make people see whatever I want them to see," Alex states. Alex kind of reminds me of a mini Teagan, sort of tomboyish. "Do it," Teagan insists. Alex looks at Teagan, I see nothing but Teagan can see something. It looks like Teagan is looking at something in the air. "Is it real, the rain?" Teagan questions Alex. "No but I can trick your mind that it is," Alex responds.

Last but not least, Teagan looks at Tyson. "And what can you do?" She asks. "I can jump really high," Tyson remarks. He jumps and he touches his hand to the ceiling. He falls back to the ground a second later and lands on his back. "I'm still working on my landing," Tyson laughs.

"Harrison and Lilith work together, Mattie and Pattie are together, and Alex and Tyson are together," Teagan states. "Rylee you'll work with Mattie and Pattie, Harrison and Lilith. I want to work with Alex and Tyson, I want to see what they can do," Teagan insists. "Okay Teag," I respond. I honestly think Teagan wants Alex and or Tyson to come with us to Alaska. I think they should come to, they're useful.
