"Everyone in the conference room, NOW!" Blair's stern voice boomed through all the speakers in the manor while Beni had been trying to find a good book to read in the library. It wasn't that much of a shock to her that they were all being called to the briefing room, what surprised her more was that Blair had sounded very upset.

She had only managed to skim through five books, and was currently looking through the sixth book before the speakers went off, so she had opted to simply put the book she had been holding back where she had taken it out of the shelf before she turned around and quickly left the room to.

Deciding to check the time, Beni raised her left wrist, where she wore her communicator watch. That was just about the only advanced tech device she and the boys were allowed to wear here.

The time read 1:48 p.m.

She kept on walking at a quick but steady pace, and she had only made it about halfway across the wide, mahogany colored hall when she bumped into Chooki halfway through. He was just getting out through the entrance to the living room.

He was wearing a dark navy blue shirt with beige khakis and black shoes. He also wore his watch communicator on his right wrist.

Chooki greeted her with a shaky smile and a small wave of his hand. Beni could see that he was nervous by the sound of Blair's tone when she called them.

"W-we better go quick, Blair didn't sound too happy." His normally gentle and calm voice came out very shaky and unsettled, but Beni chose to ignore this and decided to not upset him any more than he already was and merely nodded to him in response. The two then went on down the halls leading to the conference room.

"She's normally not this upset at all..." Beni remarked quietly as they walked down the halls. Her brow furrowed as she started thinking to herself. It was very odd for Blair to be behaving like that.

'Why would she be upset? She rarely ever gets angry, or mad now that I think about it...'

"Maybe she's just had a bad day?" Chooki's feeble attempt at finding a good excuse for Blair's offsetting behavior resulted in nothing, because his reason didn't seem to fit into why she would be acting so different so suddenly.

She hadn't been like that yesterday, or any time before then.

'She's never been like this to us. Something's not right here.'

"Well whatever it is, I hope she won't take it out on training for us." Beni mumbled out, clearly sounding annoyed, even if that's not how she really felt about the setting. They went on walking in silence for a few more minutes until they had made it to the room, and entered in silence without saying a word.

Guren was already inside the room, waiting for the other two to arrive. A clear frown showed on his face, and his hands were buried in the pockets of his dark blue jeans.

Blair stood at the front of the room, her lips were held in a straight line, and she held the most monotone poker face that one could ever have.

Though her eyes revealed her true emotions: Alarm and desperation swam in her hazel irises. Beni easily noticed that there was something different about her, her posture and stiffness completely betrayed her inner turmoil.

'Wait a minute, did she change clothes too?' Beni thought to herself as she looked over at what Blair was wearing.

Even her outfit was different as well. Instead of Blair wearing her usual black crop top with skinny jeans and sneakers, she wore a white mock neck top with dark green joggers and black combat boots.

'Strange, that's not her usual style.'

"Yes Blair?" Beni and Chooki immediately spoke up after they reached Guren, having gotten used to responding when called on by the platinum haired woman. The two stood next to each other, and Guren joined Chooki on his left.

Blair didn't reply verbally, she merely sighed in response and slumped her shoulders, holding a hand to her temple in what Beni though to be contemplation, but looked more like frustration. Her face still held that monotone expression.

And then she spoke out in a chilled, calm voice.

"I know the three of you well enough by now to know that what I am going to tell you will not sit well for any of you. I only wish I never had to tell you this." She looked away from the three of them, and right away they knew that what she was going to say was not going to be good for any of them.

After a long moment of silence passed, Guren spoke out first.

"...Tell us what?" He questioned apprehensively, eyes still showing off his worried emotions.

Blair looked up, and looked all three teens, then spoke out in the most sturdy tone that she could manage, despite her voice being very shaky and uneven. Her eyes overwhelmingly showed the large amount of despair and sadness in them.

"The Midnight Order is after you. You're in danger, it's no longer safe to stay here."

The dead silence in the room only made the tension ten times worse. It was quiet enough to hear the sound of a pin falling on the ground, even their own quiet breathing could be heard throughout the room. The utter shock of the news had left Beni, Chooki, and Guren silent.

And then the realization hit them.

The Midnight Order, a highly renowned dangerous criminal organization, vastly known for using dark magic and any means, including illegal means and other forms of action to get what they want. The Midnight Order is hunting them.

They're what the Order is after.

They might as be pronounced dead.

Chooki of course was the first to react to this.

"WHAT?!" He practically screeamed out, not even putting a thought into how loud he was being, or keeping his voice down. His hands were thrown up in the air, and he practically had a breakdown right there. The only obstacle keeping him from doing that was his mind telling him to not lose control of himself, less he teleport himself somewhere else by accident.

Guren soon followed suit after the tall Blonde, freaking out and shrieking as well as he held his arms around his self and hugged himself tightly, trying to not feel nauseated or sick. His eyes were wide with distress and panic.

"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!" He panicked even more while Chooki proceeded to hold the sides of his head, his blonde hair trapped beneath his hands that were gripping his strands for dear life.

Blair had flinched at their loud and distressed reactions. She even attempted to calm the two boys down, vainly telling them solemnly to lower their voices, as they had been shouting at the top of their lungs. It didn't help much.

Blair was too busy trying to control the two boys, who were focused on trying not to breakdown, to realize that Beni had not said a thing. She didn't even say a word, or voiced her opinion at all on the matter.

It wasn't until they had all turned to look at her direction that they noticed how her whole body shook extremely, trembling like a leaf. Her face showed no emotion, but her eyes revealed her true feelings, and only Blair was able to truly see through her wall, into Beni's inner emotions.

And what Blair saw in those large, unusually wide turquoise eyes would have sent her to tears right there had she not been able to put herself together at the last minute to keep the group from completely falling apart.

"Pack your things. Get clothes and supplies in a backpack, and only pack what you need. Leave everything else. I wish I didn't have to do this, but I need to make a call." Her solemn and defeated voice kept Beni rooted to the reality of their situation, and the boys went back to silence, devastated and feeling helpless.

Blair left the room quietly, only the sounds of her footsteps echoed through the walls of the manor as she left the room the same way all three teens had come in.


'Well that went faster than I thought it would.'

Beni had finished packing her belongings long before Chooki or Guren did. She never had a lot of possessions to begin with, so it wasn't difficult to get ready. She really only needed at least three changes of clothes, an extra pair of shoes, a few hair ties, and some toiletries.

Slinging the teal colored backpack over her shoulder, she moved on to changing her outfit. Sure this was her favorite outfit to wear, but Beni doubted she'd need suspenders and knee high dark magenta boots.

'It's too impractical.' She thought to herself, before shedding off said boots, and changing both her dark pink shorts and her shoes.

Pulling on a pair of black shorts and some worn out grey sneakers, Beni double-tied the laces of her shoes. After that she stood back up to put her hair in a high ponytail, though the tips of her hair still reached the bottom of her back.

Exiting her room for what Beni knew would be the last time, she quickly jogged over to the room that they were in before leaving to get their stuff packed.

There was no one there when she arrived, fortunately.

Beni spent the time she had waiting for Chooki and Guren to get ready to reflect on what happened.
