Behind them was Beth, who was also 14, who could make duplicate versions of herself. A few paces behind Beth was Dani who's voice could shatter steel. She usually didn't talk much because of this, but when she did there was a lot of wisdom in her voice. There were about 6 others, all with different abilities including shape shifting, invisibility and strength.
