Thanks for all the reviews on chapter O6! I'm gonna try something this chapter. Before I post the next chapter, I want 3-4 new reviews on chapter O7! Can we make that happen? I think so!

Third P.O.V.
"Ow."
"Scoot over!"
Early in the morning the team is woken by a few complaints on the left side of the bed.
"Bree, Kaz, go back to sleep!" Skylar moans, burying her head in a pillow.
Bree grunts, slapping Kaz' arm. "Kaz keeps poking me with his ribs!" she whines.
"Yeah, it's called breathing!" He defends. The two break out into an argument before Chase decides to step in.
"Okay, okay! That's enough. It's time for everyone to wake up anyway."
"Hey, where's Oliver?" Skylar questions, looking at the empty space on her right.
Then hearing a soft snore from the floor, she gets her answer.
"Did you push him off?" Chase chuckles. Skylar shrugs.
"Most likely."
Groaning, the teens slowly climb out of the bed, making their way down the hall to get ready for the day.

Bree's P.O.V.
"Bree, hurry up!" Skylar shouts at me from the other side of the shower curtain.
"Give me a minute!" I yell back at her from inside the shower curtain.
"You've been saying that for the past hour! Be out in five minutes or I'll zap the pipes!" She threatens.
"You electrocute me and I'll thermo touch all over your face!" I say, coughing when the soapy water runs into my mouth.
"Okay, what is going on in here?" I hear a deeper voice question from what sounds to be our bedroom, outside the bathroom door.
"Chase, make her get out of the shower! She's been in there four an hour!" Skylar shrieks.
"My bones hurt and the hot water makes it better!" I defend.
I can practically feel Skylar rolling her eyes at me. Chase sighs heavily.
"Okay, Bree, just hurry! And you two stop yelling!"
"Bree, you have two minutes!" Skylar warns me.
Just as she finishes her statement, I slam the handle of the shower to off, sticking my head out the curtain.
"Hand me my towel, one of you!" I demand, shivering in the coldness.
Skylar tosses the towel at my face. "Chase!" I whine.
He rolls his eyes, "Skylar..."' she huffs a response.
"You two just get out so I can get dressed."
The two of them leave the room so I can climb out and dress.
Using my super speed, I quickly dress, dry my hair, and grab the curling iron.
When I walk out Skylar glares at me from the spot on her bed next to Chase, who's in the floor, leant up against it.
"You dried your hair?! I could've been in by now!"
"I used my super speed! Just go!" I yell, pushing her into the bathroom. She slams the door shut, and I hear her lock it.
Chase chuckles from the floor. "What?" I question him.
He just shrugs and smiles. "You two are just like real sisters."
I nod, plugging in the curling iron. "Well, being that we're the only girls here, we just made each other our adopted sister."
He furrows his brows for a minute. "Wait...does that make her my sister in a way?"
I tilt my head to the side, pondering his question. "Nah, I don't think so."
"Okay, good!" He mumbles. Giving him a questioning look, I ask, "Why?"
His eyes widen as he obviously searches for an excuse. "Oh, umm...no reason."
I nod my head, "Sure." I begin using my super speed to curl my hair, but that ends quickly. When I finished the last strand my hand slips onto the hot iron.
"Ow! Dang it!"
Chase sighs, walking over to me. "Bree, I told you not to user your super speed while curling your hair! This is the third time you've been burned this month."
He pulls me down to the kitchen, careful not to hit the burn on my hand. Then rambling through the cabinet, he grabs a tube of Aloe.
He carefully rubs the cool liquid over my reddening skin.
"Thanks Chase. You can go finish getting ready. I'll put this stuff away."
He nods and walks upstairs. I place all the items back into the cabinet, tossing the band-aid wrapper in the trash can.
Looking out the window, I admire what beautiful day it is. "Looks like a perfect day for relaxation out on the terrace!" I say to myself.
Pouring a glass of lemonade, I grab a book and head out to the overlook of Centium City.
A few minutes after I get settled, a sheet walks out onto the terrace. Rolling my eyes, I sigh heavily.
"Okay, Kaz. Very funny!" Yanking the sheet away, I find nothing but empty air.
"What the?!"
I bet Oliver or Kaz have invisibility. Sighing, I decide it's time to teach them a lesson.
Using all my strength, I round house kick the air where a body should be, but gasping when my foot never makes contact with anything but thin air.
"Okay, Bree. Calm down. If there is a ghost here it's not like it can really hurt you with a sheet. Right?" I talk to myself, as I take a seat in my original position.
Before I can react, the chair I'm sitting in begins folding up, as the sheet covers my face, threatening to smother me to death.
I yelp and jump up from the chair, and rip the sheet off my face with all the force I can.
Making a quick run to the door, I land hard on my back after smacking into the glass. But I didn't even close the door...
Hearing a laugh from behind me, I stand up, turning around slowly to face my attacker.
There's a black and purple silhouette facing me, with purple flames outlining her shape.
"Wh-who are you?" I stutter, backing into the glass window.
The silhouette cackles evily in a deep woman's voice.
"Your worst nightmare."
She flies towards me, but I use my super speed to dodge her.
"Somebody help me!" I shout, before remembering that Chase reinforced the windows. No one could hear me.
She chases me around the terrace for ten minutes before just vanishing away.
The glass doors slide open, as the rest of the team walks through them, all looking down at their phones.
I rush over to my brother, wrapping my arms tightly around his neck.
"Whoa! Hey, what's wrong?" He ask, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"It came back! She tried to kill me!"
He pulls me back, looking me in the eyes. "Who came back?"
"The ghost!" I tell him as a few tears go down my cheek. "She came back and attacked me! She came in with a sheet draped over her. A-and then the chair tried to eat me while she smothered me with the sheets!"
"The chair tried to eat you?" Oliver's eyebrows raise.
"What did she look like?" Kaz asks me.
"Purple. She was just a purple silhouette with purple flames outlining her body."
Skylar sighs, "Chase, I thought you said this was just a prank!"
Oliver scoffs, "Well while you were sleeping yesterday, he told us it wasn't."
"Okay, look. This is way more than a prank. But we can handle this!" Chase tries to reassure us.
"How?" Skylar questions. "We have no idea who or what we're dealing with!"
"I know. That's why we're not gonna fight it yet. We'll just be careful, and defend ourselves when she attacks. But for now we need to learn more about this ghost. And when the time comes, we'll fight."
