While Sasha prepared drinks for the teens, everyone else gathered together in the room, waiting for an explanation. Richi didn't say a word, however, as his head still hurt from the reciente blows that came from the fists a certain blonde boy standing siguiente to Silver. Standing siguiente to Alek, with his pinky digging around in his right ear, was the ever-so dangerous Nic, while the other girl, Vika, was situated siguiente to Silver, a cautious look on her face.
As for his own little group, Richi sat in a chair across the room, trying to rid his head of the pain, while the violet-haired girl hid behind him, her shyness kicking in once more. The brunette leaned against the muro siguiente to Richi, slowly nodding off, unfazed por the reciente events.
The violet-haired girl peeked out from her seguro haven and noticed Nic, still digging around in ears for the hope of any sort of sound. Before she could muster up the courage to explain, Richi grabbed a nearby paper and pen, and began writing. segundos later, he turned the paper around and showed it off to the teens across the room, who all looked at it curiously. On it, Richi had written:

No use, Nic. tu won't be able to hear a thing for the siguiente 24 hrs. But the girl behind me here will telepathically tell tu what we'll be saying, but just oso, oso de with it for now.

Obviously irritated, Nic made to make his frustration even clearer with a bit of fire, but before he could do anything, Sasha came back in with the drinks. Handing them out, he hesitated slightly when offering the drinks to the newcomers, who all politely declined.
Finally, Richi began to explain. "Sorry for the intrusion, but I need information, and tu guys are probably the only people I know who would know anything." He thought the situation was under control, but that completely changed as soon as it was the other group's turn to speak.
Silver glared at Richi, which sent fear down his spine. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to pop in in the middle of the night. "I really don't think 'Sorry' cuts it for popping in in the middle of the night, Richi." Yup. "And I can see," she said, looking over at the two girls at Richi's side, "that you've got some explaining to do." He did nothing but nod, and asked, "What do tu need to know first?" At this, Alek spoke up before Silver could even open her mouth. "How'd tu find us?"
Richi sighed, clearly not wanting to share this information. Without a word, he snapped his fingers, and a cold gust of wind seemed to blow through the room, though all the door and all other exits were completely shut. He snapped again, and the air above him shimmered, until a black, ghost-like figure floated above him. Silver's face took on surprise for a moment, but then quickly showed anger. "I thought I dicho to get rid of that thing from me." She stated, her tone full of annoyance. Richi held his hands up defensively, and replied, " I had no clue about him until recently." Vika almost seemed to growl at the spirit in the room, so Richi snapped once more, and it faded.
"This still doesn't answer my question. What was that?" Richi was about to speak up, but surprisingly, it was Silver who beat him to the punch. "It's a Shade. They basically act as spies for Richi, so he knows at all times where we are." Nic seemed to want to roast the devil-child, after interpreting this. However, Alek simply nodded, as if he completely understood why Richi had originally done so.
Silver asked next. though she clearly still showed annoyance at the Shade. "Who're the girls, and where's Lychan and Hibi?" At the names of his anterior partners, Richi winced. Before he could speak up, the two girls stepped forward, each intending to introduce themselves.
The violet-haired teen on Richi's left went first. "I'm Scotch." After this, The brunette on his right went next. "Valeriya." Yawning, Val turned to Richi, and stated that she was turning in first. The blonde nodded, barely even looking as the girl spun around in place. As she spun, a bright light emerged from her, and everyone was forced to look away. When the light faded, there stood a boy of about the same age as Richi, dressed in a simple green T-shirt and black jeans. His black hair was longer than most boys, and could have easily made a ponytail out of it, which he did.
At this, everyone on the opposite side of the room had a small look of surprise on their faces. Vika was the first to speak. Or, at least, attempt to. "H-how did-?" The newcomer looked at the young girl with his cold, piercing eyes. "I'm Zephyr. As to what just happened, Val and I switched places, and now while she's asleep inside of me, I get to come out." Vika attempted once more, her face still mostrando shock, while only Nic had worn off from the sudden surprise. "Why-?" That was all she could get out before Zephyr cut her off once more. "Circe. Fused us together. Anything else, o are we gonna get back to the topic at hand?" This seemed to shut Vika up, and Silver turned back to Richi. "Where's Lychan and Hibi?"
Richi looked away, his expression full of pain and regret.

"They're dead."

Silver's eyes seemed to widen just a little, stunned por this unexpected answer. The rest of the group looked at her almost quizzically, as they had never met these other two people. "How?"
Richi looked back at Silver, his face expressionless. "And now we're where I want to be." He stated, currently ignoring Silver's question.
"They were sniped," Richi told her. "by two particular individuals. Maddex and Marquez."
