It all started with the international news. Why did there have to be such a horrid invention? It got me into such a mess that I try to cover up, but it's too late.

Chapter 1

Tristan McLean was watching the news on one normal Saturday morning, he had a busy day today and he was worried about Piper, who has not talked to in two weeks. Whenever he tried to contact the camp director, Mr. Brunner, he would not answer. He also suspected that Mellie and Gleeson knew something, by the whispered conversations they had and worried looks that they shot towards him. But he did not now that he would get the shock of his life that morning...

He sat down on the leather couch with a bowl of cereal and a script for a movie Lionsgate wanted for him to be in. He put the script down and started eating his cereal. He turned on the TV and turned to Channel 5. Mellie walked over and sat on a chair that was in seeing view of the TV, as she was working on the I-Pad to finalize his schedule for the day. He was lucky to get a great secretary like her, a better replacement than Jane. But then Mellie looked up from her work to watch the news and Tristan watched the TV to see what Mellie was watching.

The news guy started talking, not about terrorists or the presidential election, but of a volcanic activity and a prison break in Rome, that happened on the same day.

"Yesterday, around 3:30 PM, tourists in Rome reported seeing smoke coming from Mt. Vesuvius, a dormant volcano near Rome, well until yesterday. Scientists are puzzled about why there was smoke, because the mouth of the volcano was closed for the past two thousands of years. The volcano is still spewing smoke and the area around the volcano is being evacuated of people. If the volcano erupts, it would be fatal to many people in the area and affect climates worldwide and it could devastate farms and cities in Italy and in the Mediterranean Area. It is estimated that it could erupt in a matter of days, leaving the citizens of Rome fleeing."

"On the same day, a few hours before volcanic activity were reported on Mt. Vesuvius," The news man continued. "Seven American teenage tourists, the oldest around 17, the youngest around 13, were caught fighting fifteen police officers in an alley. All of the officers were hurt in some way, as he kids were armed. The four guys and three girls were arrested for fighting the officers, and they did not have any real identification. But within 45 minutes of being held in jail, they escaped, leaving shock to the police of Rome. They were seen on Mt. Vesuvius around the time it started smoking, but they have not been seen since. Here it the video of the teenagers escaping the Roman police station."

The screen turned into a video that looked like it was from a security camera. There were seven teenagers sitting in a room on chairs. There was two officers were sitting behind the desk with seven backpacks and weapons like knives, bow and arrows, swords and a tool belt, with a large hammer attached to it. Tristan thought that those were odd weapons to have; he was expecting switchblades and guns. But they still seem just as destructive.

The teenagers looked really bored; they not seemed stressed at all about being in police custody. The only person moving was a guy that reminded Tristan of a Mexican elf, who was fiddling with some pieces of metal. He kept adding pieces to it and subtracting pieces. Then he smiled, pleased. Then he wolf-whistled. The officers looked up and the guy threw the machine.

When it hit he desk, it exploded, into little balls that started bouncing around the room. This distracted the officers. All seven of the kids stood up and grabbed their weapons. Three of them grabbed swords, a black-haired guy, a blond-haired guy and a petite Creole girl. A buff Chinese guy with chubby cheeks grabbed the bow and arrows. Mexican elf got the tool belt, and the other two girls got the knifes. One of the girls had blond hair in a ponytail; the other had choppy hair and braids...

Then Tristan had a feeling he knew her. Mellie gasped. Gleeson, who was walking by, spewed out the coffee he was drinking. And when she turned toward the camera, he knew who it is.

It was Piper.

Why was Piper in Rome? By the looks of it, she was on the run, she was dirty, but seemed determained, and dangerous, more dangerous than any teenage girl should be. But her kaleidoscope eyes were a mixture of black, red, pink and grey. He knew that he black meant tha she was scared, the gray when she is sad, but he did not know what the red and the pink meant...

He brought his attention back to the TV. Now all three of them were watching. Piper and the blond girl walked up to the officers and punched them in the face, two good HBO worthy hooks. Their heads bonked together and they fell to the ground. They high-fived each other, hen joined the other. Mexican elf was doing something to the security system. He threw a rope on the desk. Creole and Chinese started to tie up the officers. The other four were looking on the computer. Then they started talking.

"Is'nt it a little odd to be on the web now?" Mexican elf asked, as he was pulling a green wire out of his belt.

"We are on the computer to erase anything that they might of put on the files." The black-haired guy answered.

"Look up the quickest way to the mountain, then we can save Nic- Death Breath." Creole girl added.

"Good idea." The blond haired girl complmented.

"I saw a rental car dealership nearby. We can grab a car and drive up there." Piper added.

"Use your mad stealing skills to get the car. But either you or Kelp-Head will have to drive." The blond guy exclaimed.

Creole and Chinese finished tieing up the officers and joined them at looking at the computer.

"You know, there is a security camera up there." Chinese mentioned.

Mexican elf grinned like a cheesy cat. "Don't worry, Shape Shifter, It will shut down in 4 minutes."

"Let's get going, we don't have much time." Blond Girl said nervously. "We don't know what things are in this city that would be happy to bring us to Dirt Woman. Or kill us. It is bad luck that the police are after us too."

"Wait, I have an idea." Piper ran to the wall, she grabbed a red Sharpie from the desk. She started writing on the wall. When she was done, she wrote something on the bottom of the the message. All seven teenagers then ran out of the door. Tristan looked at the message on the wall. He read it 2,3,4 times. He did not understand a word of it. It said,

Μην. Μην προσπαθείτε να μας πάρει. Θα είναι για το καλό σου. Τα πράγματα είναι έτοιμος να πάρει πολύ χειρότερα.

-Οι Επτά

The teenagers ran outside, and the vidio stopped, the shock of the report still hanging in the room.
