So I'm guessing you're Seven and Ten; What can you do?" I say as I find our rifles in the sand and hand each of them a gun. "You can call me Marina," the girl with the brown hair says. "And I can breathe under water and see in the dark and heal the sick and wounded. And I have telekinesis." Call me Ella, I hear ten say in my head. Aside from my telepathy, I can change ages.

Pittacus LoreCheck this out,โ Nine says. He holds up a small purple stone and then places it on the back of his hand. The stone slides into his handโthrough it.

Impress girls?โ Nine looks over at me. โDid it work?โ โUm . . .โ I hesitate, trying not to roll my eyes too hard. โNot really. But, Iโve seen guys teleport so Iโm kind of hard to impress.โ โTough crowd.
