They sat together like that for another ten minutes before Hope had to force herself to get ready for the upcoming day. She excused herself to go shower, so Josie went back to her room to grab anything that she may need for the day.
The kids all met up again for a late breakfast. They had arrived just in time before they stopped serving, so they were some of the few left in the cafeteria. Midway through Hope's bowl of cereal, Kaleb sat down at the table.
"So...will you all tell me what is really going on around here?" He wondered. "I had to stay up all night and pull guard duty on the school."
"Sorry man. That sucks." MG commented. "Someone's been...well, basically...they're trying to kill the twins."
Kaleb's eyes widened. "What? Really? Dude, I won't complain about night shift again. What else can I do to help?"
"Wanna train with us? I'm assembling a strike team. And we could always use some extra muscle." Hope offered.
"Seriously?! Hell yeah. Now this is what I've been waiting for."
"We've got to meet with my parents and Hope's aunts at eleven. But we planned to start training around one. MG will tell you where." Lizzie informed him.
"Is it okay if I spread the word? If some of the guys knew what was going on, I'm sure they'd be up for a fight. Just point us in the direction of the monsters and we're good to go." He told them as he stood back up. "See you at one."
"I guess we could always use the manpower. If a direct attack does happen at the school." Penelope stated as he walked away.
"Dumbledore's Army." Lizzie smiled.
Hope smiled too.
As a group, they wandered off to the clubhouse to await the adults. It was barely nine thirty, but they had nothing better to do.
"So...are you going to tell the others about what you suggested this morning?" Lizzie asked as she addressed Hope.
"I was thinking out loud. It wasn't an actual suggestion." Hope argued.
"I think it's better than most of the options we have." Lizzie retorted.
"Then will one of you fill us in." Penelope said, exasperated with the beating around the bush.
"If we are to believe that Hope could theoretically create werewolf hybrids and we know she can make vampire hybrids...what if she were able to replicate both and create tribrids just like her?" Lizzie pondered.
The group fell silent in contemplation.
"Well...she couldn't create witches...so Raf and MG would be simple hybrids....but the three of us...we could be like her." Penelope considered it. "I...I can buy turning Josie because of their bond...but do you really think she could change someone into a werewolf? That is unheard of."
Hope started to pace as she worked through it. "If I can turn Josie based on a bond alone...I....I feel strongly attached to the two of you as well. Not like..."
"Mates." Lizzie concluded.
"But if a strong bond is all it would take...there's no reason that it wouldn't work for the two of you also. In fact...it may be better to test it on one of you before Josie. Because if tradition tells me anything...and she really is your Alpha...if you are part of her pack...then when we change Josie... if we do...it would be...as my mate....I'd think it may be similar to a unification ceremony and then our packs would unite and you would basically receive all of her traits as well as some of mine...we would be so strong."
