Nick's POV-
   I was staring out the window inside the living room, watching the trees rustle and clouds move by. Ashlie was walking nearby, but stopped and came over to me. "What's wrong? You seem a bit off today." She asked. "I'm not sure, for some reason, I feel like something is about to go wrong." I replied. "Maybe hanging out with all of us could help? We could do something light and fun today." Ashlie suggested as she looked at me with worry. "Yeah, I guess that might help." She started talking to Jess, then Jess went to get everyone downstairs so we could take some time to cool off. Maybe a few nice games could help? Still, I don't think I was the only one who felt trouble. Cory also seemed a bit cautious right now, which I normally wouldn't question, but with more than one person feeling off, there may be something in the works. Jason could noticeably feel the tension in the room, so he pulled all of us aside to play some games. Whatever has Cory and I thrown for a loop, it can't be pure coincidence, I just know it.

Jess's POV-
    We were playing a few board games, some of us taking turns, as most board games can't be played by twenty people. We had just transitioned from Sorry to Monopoly, for a while forgetting there was any worry to begin with. I pulled Jason into another room as they continued to play, hoping none of them would notice. Thankfully, they didn't. I needed to speak with him, preferably without anyone overhearing. "Why did you pull me over, babe?" He asked with slight concern. Trying to not be flustered from the sudden name, I took a breath and spoke. "Normally, someone feeling off in here wouldn't be all that concerning, right? It's usually just out of instinct." "Before you continue, I think I know what you're getting at. You're concerned because Cory felt it as well, right?" He said, stopping me in my tracks. "Well, yeah. You've had those gut feelings before, and almost every time, if not always, something bad occurred. Like when you isolated yourself for three days out of worry, then almost attacked the village. I just don't want something like that to happen again." I said, lightly grabbing his shoulder. "I can keep an eye on everyone if you need me to, okay?" He suggested, which I nodded at with slight relief. Though, when we returned, something, or someone, was missing. "Hey, where's Cory?" I asked. "Oh? He went up to his room a minute ago." Shelby replied. "I'll be back." Jason said, leaving the room.

Jason's POV-
    I just need to check. For all I know, I'm just losing my mind. I walked up to the third floor, which contains the rooms of all the Second Generation Elementals. I had arrived at Cory's door within a few minutes. I tried calling for him, but silence was all that seemed to come back. Great, more reason to be worried. Maybe I should just go in? Worst case scenario, he's battling the entity then tries to kill me, right? Oh, so wrong, wrong indeed. I opened the door, thankfully, Cory was there, but something was off. Despite me being there, he didn't seem to see me or hear me. Before I knew it, his eyes were glowing, faded to black, and he jumped out of the window. Hands on his head and seemingly in some sort of pain, he ran off into the forest. God, what do I do?
