"You ready?" Hailee asked.

Camila zipped up her green track suit, gripping her wand tightly. "I guess,"

Hailee put her hands on Camila's shoulder and gave a reassuring squeeze. "We're all rooting for you. Ariana and Justin are getting the ceremonial balloons and alcohol for the victory party,"

"Have you seen Jade?"

"No," Hailee bit her lip. "Her and Dinah said they had to do something before the task,"

Camila nodded. Her and Hailee were in her tent, doing last minute prep for the next competition. Camila was allowed to bring one friend to help her get ready, and she picked Hailee because the girl would be honest with her.

"Sirens are deadly seductresses," Lauren nodded. "Good thing I'm not queer,"

"They can still lure you," Lupin warned. "They'll take the form of something everyone wants. They can tap into your deepest desires and channel that. Be careful, Lauren. They will try to seduce you,"

"I'd like to see them try," Lauren smirked. "Any other advice?"

"Speed is big for this task. Be stealthy,"

"Always am," Lauren nodded. "Thanks,"

"Go get 'em, champ,"

"Welcome," a robotic voice said. Camila looked around, startled. "Please sit,"
