“Well, you go back to your dorm. I’ll do some research here. Oh, and remember to put up some security. And, let’s hope the teachers didn’t notice your absence,” she said, and I walked out.

“Lillianna! It’s time to wake up!” screamed Vivian, pounding on my door.

“Seriously? You’re going to wake everyone up! And besides, it’s 5 in the morning,” I said, pulling her into my dorm.

“Well, let’s go prepare to persuade people to be on our side,” she said, sitting on my bed.

“It won’t be that hard, will it?” I asked.

“Yeah! It will! Besides, we’re going to Belladonna Nightshade’s sister, Brianna Nightshade, and she’s the leader of the Student Council, right?” she said.

“Wait, we’re going to her? Why not just a random student with telepathy?” I asked.

“Yes, we’re going to her: she’s a telepath and she is also a spirit traveler, and those powers are really powerful, so yeah,” she said.

“Whatever.”

“Hey, Brianna!” I called out to her.

“What, Lillianna?” she said, annoyed.

“Well, we need your help,” said Vivian.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.

“Ohhh, what happened? Why are you two suddenly friends? Seriously, where’s Maddie?” she teased.

“Brianna, come to my dorm, and we will explain everything!” I snapped.

“Fine!” she said. She followed us to my dorm, and we told her everything.

–

“Wow…” she said.

“Yes, so can you help us? Oh and also try to get your sister Belladonna to our side, please???” said Vivian.

“Of course! I will do anything to fight Maddie. You know I hate her too!” she said.

“Wait! You do?” I asked.

“Yes! How about I also try to get my friends on our side?” she offered.

“Sure, but can you try to see what’s around us? I’m dying to find the hideout!” Vivian said.

“Okay… I’ll try at night time, cause my powers are greatest during night time,” she said, leaving my dorm.

“Oh, and don’t tell other people except the ones you trust. And don’t even tell the teacher,” I added.

“Of course!!!” she said, slamming the door.

“Weird,” said Vivian, rolling her eyes.

“Huh. I hope we’ll get recruits soon,” I said, ”I miss my parents.”

“Let’s do some research,” she suggested.

“You do some tech stuff, while I’ll investigate,” I said.

“Sure. Be careful. And watch your phone. I’ll call you if I find some interesting stuff,” she said.

I closed the door and went to find some stuff around the school.

“Hey, Lillianna. I got some people on our side!” said a voice. I jumped, only to find Brianna standing behind me.

“Really? Who?” I asked.

“Well, Adelaide, who can charmspeak and has the powers of telekinesis, my sister, and Adrianna, who can control fire and heat,” she said proudly.

“Cool! Thanks! Also, try to get some information, okay?” I said happily.

“So, what are you going to do now?” she asked.

“I dunno. Maybe investigate? Look in the library for some information about the school?” I said.
