3rd Person POV

Hope and Raf walk down the hall

Raf is in some kind of trance

"Hey, you okay?" Hope asks him

Raf blinks a few times

"Um... my mind still won't settle down." Raf says. "Look, I'm sorry, but I can't join the fight."

"Don't worry, I'm not going alone." Hope says. "My squad answered the Bat-Signal."

From one side, Kaleb, Josie, Sadie, and Jed walk in

From the other, Lizzie walks in

"She's coming?" The twins asks

"I need all the help I can get, so please put your twin war on pause." Hope says

"Why is he going?" Raf asks, pointing at Jed. "He hates Landon."

"You're the alpha, dude." Sadie tells him

"If Landon's your pack, that makes him ours." Jed says

"Where's MG at?" Kaleb asks

"He's on his way." Hope says. "Let's load up while we wait for him. Come on."

Raf goes one way

The squad goes outside

Men with guns and shields approach them

"Oh, sorry." The leader says. "We were about to knock."

Sadie freezes

"Who the hell are you?" Lizzie asks

"Name's Burr." Burr says. "Triad Industries."

"Propellere." Hope chants

Nothing

"I got this." Kaleb says

Kaleb runs forwards but the sunlight hits him and he groans in pain

He backs into the shade with his hands sizzling

"What you don't got is magic." Burr says. Sadie looks around at the men with equipment.

SADIE: Looking around, we were very outnumbered....there was no way this was going to go our way

"Which is why your daylight ring won't work. And what we have are stakes, wolfsbane... and other things. So I think you should invite us inside."

"We're looking for an artifact known as the Chalice of Arimathea." Burr says in the assembly hall with all the students around. "We have reason to believe it's part of your school's collection. Now, you know this place a lot better than we do, so the sooner you help us find it, the sooner we'll be gone. Triad thanks you for your time."

Josie and Hope share a look

Hope, Josie, Lizzie, and Sadie leave the room and make their way to Dr Saltzman's office

Hope walks over to the phone

"It's dead." She sighs. "We have to find the school cell."

"Check MG's tighty-whities." Lizzie snarks

"Really? This is serious." Josie says

"Oh, I'm sorry. We can't all be born with resting concerned pouty face." Lizzie shoots

Josie gasps

Sadie rolls her eyes as she looks

"Didn't this shelf used to have books on it?" Hope asks, looking at the shelf
