            I have no idea what's going on right now. I have been transported to a swamp and already half the group is missing. After Isabella heard a splash in the water nearby, she was insisted on checking it out. Mia said it wasn't a good idea to get separated and that we should stick together, but before I knew what was happening Izzy used her ability, sprouted white wings from her arms and took off flying in a flash with Mia dashing through the trees behind her. I tried to follow but dang those girls were fast. So now I'm left here sitting on a log on the banks of the swamp trying to remember how I got into this situation in the first place. Suddenly I heard a low growling noise and I'm sure it wasn't my stomach that made that noise.

              That growl came from behind me and it sounded more primal, like an animal. I carefully raised my ax (standard silver edition double headed battle ax) and used it as a mirror to see what was behind me. A few seconds passed before I saw a pair of big glowing yellow cat eyes, then I saw a sheen of light off the tip of a gun barrel. My eyes widened and I ducked just as the gun fired, shooting a hole in a tree where my head used to be.

                         "Dammit, ya' weren't suppose da move!"

                I slowly got up and looked in the direction the shot came from to see a young girl, about maybe fifteen, had chin length choppy strawberry blonde hair, peach skin with freckles scattered across her nose, and hazel green eyes. She wore a black hoodie, dark grey cargo pants, and army boots. From the looks of the sniper rifle slung over her shoulder there was no doubt she was the one who shot at me.

                        "I can't believe you missed!" My attention was now turned to the young man next to her, probably around seventeen years, tanned skin, shoulder length wild black hair( a few strands were braided and what seemed to be silver beads in it), he was skinny yet muscular at the same time, but what creep me out the most was his glowing yellow eyes.He wore a dark grey muscle shirt, black leather sleeveless vest, blue jeans, and black moccasins.

                           "Well second time's da charm." The girl said and aimed her rifle right at me.

                            "I thought it was the third time's the charm?"

             She fired, I raised my axe and deflected the bullet into the tree next to her. She let out a small yelp when the bullet hit the tree then turned to the guy she called Danny and started to go off.

                            "Now look what you've gone and done. You just dun messed up my mojo."

                            "Me?! Now why do you gotta blame me? Just a while ago you shot four gators from hillside about ten yards away, and now you can't shoot a guy standing right in front of you?"

           I suddenly had an odd feeling that they've been through this before and that they weren't just any ordinary pair of teenagers.

                             "Umm… excuse me," all eyes were on me now, "You guys wouldn't happen to go to a Rosewood Academy for gifted and talented youth …. Would you?"

            They both nod their heads and smile, then the girl steps forward and says, "Names Abigail Greens but everyone calls me Abby." She motioned to the guy called Danny, "This guy here is my hunting partner."

           He stepped forward, shook my hand and said, "Daniel Delgado, but you can call me Danny."

                         "I'm Alex, nice to meet you guys." I said as I smiled back.

         Just then there was a rustle in a nearby bush. I tightened my grip on my ax and got in a battle ready stance, ready for anything and apparently Abby and Danny had the same plan 'cause she had her sniper cocked and aimed at the bush. While Daniel surprisingly had morphed his hands into a weird cross between an animal paw and claws, with similar features of the human hand, and his eyes turned cat-like yet still glowed yellow.What happened next is hard to explain. We stood there waiting for a monster to appear but the only thing that came out from those bushes was an old (and I mean very old) man.

                       "What are ya dogg gon kids dureing on my here property eh?" The old man said in a gruff tone.

                       "Sorry to bother ya sir we were just fixin to….." Abby started to speak to the old man but stopped when out of the blue, Sophie came barging in with her gun currently locked on the old man's head.
