Gazzy's POV
Skye looks a bit nervous. Honestly, I am too, 'cause we're in a flying ship with 6 ninjas and a samurai. Granted, we can defend ourselves, but we don't want to be found out...That would be bad. I'm bunking with this 'Zane' guy, who's apparently a Nindroid, whatever that is.
As I walk down the hallway after Zane, I catch a glimpse of a black-haired girl who
must be Nya. Zane stops to talk to her, and I wait. She practically skips off towards Jay, I presume, since he gets this weird look in his eyes when someone mentions her name. I wonder how they would react when they found out about my 'talent'...

I don't trust the new people. Beth almost killed Cole for pulling some feathers. I drift off to sleep thinking about it.

Beth's POV, Time Skip Midnight
\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/
I wake up in a cold sweat. The nightmare was worse. This time, Gazzy, Skye, Jay, Nya, Kai, Zane, Cole, and I were at the side of a river, picnicking, when all of a sudden, I couldn't control myself. I watched as I killed each of my friends and the ninja, over and over...
With the nightmares are this bad, I'll need to get some cocoa to try to fall into a hopefully dreamless sleep. I slip out of the sleeping bags they gave us and carefully stepping over Skye, I open the door and tiptoe out. I pad down the halls, heading towards the kitchen. I look through the cabinets, finally finding a packet of cocoa. I set the water to boil and sit down. I look at the clock. 12:02. I hear someone behind me. Cole. I feel bad that I beat him up, but no one pulls my feathers. He stumbles over a chair. I grab his elbow and lead him to a chair. "Sit." He sits, his face giving away his pain. Boys are too stubborn for their own good. I check the water. Not done yet. I sigh and grab a few ice packs from the freezer. "Here, you need them." Cole refuses, a simple gesture, but it makes me think of the nightmare, Cole had shaken his head and begged me to not kill him…
I feel the tears sliding down my cheeks. He pulls me into his lap and I cry into his shoulder for who knows how long when I realize something: Why did he come into the kitchen? "Cole?"
"Yeah?" His voice is softer than I expected.
"Why did you come into the kitchen?"
"I heard someone walk by my room and went to investigate."
The conversation is cut off by a whistle from the tea pot. "Do you want some?"
"What is it?"
"Hot Chocolate."
"Okay!" I giggle. He sounded really enthusiastic there. I pull out two cups and split the mix between them. When I've added the water, I turn and see Cole, who decided to use the ice packs. He pats the seat next to him. "Sit down Beth." I look at him. Had I told him my name? He reads my expression and laughs. "No, you didn't tell me your name. Jay told me when I regained consciousness yesterday." I wince. I was the reason he got beat up in the first place. "Sorry about beating you up yesterday…."
"It's fine, but Jay's never going to let it go."I crack a grin at that.
After we finished our cocoa, Cole walked me back to Nya's room, before turning to go back to his room, and for the first time in a month, I get a good dream.

Kai's POV
\/\\/\\/\\/\\/\\/
I wake up to a horrible stench. Like a stink bomb went off. I hear Skye yell from Nya's room, "GAZZY!" I guess he did it. I walk out of my room and find everyone gagging or covering their noses. "Everyone get outside!" I yell. We go onto the deck and breathe the stink free air. I feel someone tap my arm. Skye. She looks nervous and apologetic. "I'm going to go downstairs and open the windows to let Gazzy's 'surprise' out."
"So it was him!"she looks at me strangely.
"Yeah…"
"Go ahead and open the windows." She runs off to Gazzy, who follows her, and Beth, who is supporting Cole. Beth stays on deck. Zane comes up. "Why was everyone reacting to something this morning."
"Something smelled really bad."
"I did not smell anything."
"Is your smell switch on?"
"No."
"Then flip it on and come downstairs." Zane flips the switch and has only barely gotten down the stairs before sprinting back up, holding his nose. The windows are open, so I walk down the hall, which smells better, when I see Skye, fanning the air with grey wings connected to her back. I let out a strangled gasp. Her wings snap back under her shirt as I march up to her and Gazzy, who came up behind her. As calmly as I can I tell them: "You have two minutes. Explain."
This getting interesting. Beth had a little 'meet up' with Cole, and Kai found out our feathery secret. Not good. I'm half tempted to knock Kai out to hide our secret...What do you think Beth?
NO! I already beat up Cole. Maybe no more violence between us for a while? Well, we'll see. But me likey the Colebeth scene!
Course you do.
