While Thea and the guys are resting, I can go explore and maybe ask some questions around. I don't want to bother any of them with my mundane curiosity, given that they're all likely exhausted. Thea hasn't slept since we left New York. The same goes for Ze and Cer, but they put in additional effort as they carried us for hours up a mountain. I'd say they truly deserve a few hours of uninterrupted sleep.

There were staff scattered throughout the complex, including the guards. I'm sure that someone will be able to give me more information. Maybe I can even find a way to get us some food since I have no doubt they'll be starving when they wake up.

As I exit our bedroom, I wonder if I should tell the guys that I'm going to be out for a bit. I don't want them to worry about me if they don't find me. Stopping by their door, I raise my fist to knock, but I stop myself at the last minute. I place my ear against the doorframe, listening for any sounds.

It's completely silent inside, a sign that they've gone to sleep just as Thea had done.

With a sigh, I take a step back. There are a few bags scattered on the floor—the only luggage we'd brought with us. I do a quick inventory, noticing that not only do we not have any food, but we're also out of water.

A smile surfaces on my face as I imagine them waking up to hot food and fresh cold water. Maybe I'll even get a thank you from Z—though I'm not getting my hopes up.

Leaving the apartment, I take a moment to orient myself outside. All the buildings look the same, and I assume they're all used to house the contestants. I walk slowly, looking right and left as I absorb as much information as I can.

To my right, there's a team comprised of three people. None of them seem human. In fact, one of the men on the team is juggling small flames on his fingers. My eyes widen in shock. No matter how strong my team is, I haven't seen either Cer or Ze have any such abilities. Thea confessed herself that she's not very good at anything except her charm—and sharp claws. A tremor of fear runs down my back.

They've been my first introduction to people with powers, and I've been so in awe with what I've seen of them that I immediately thought them unstoppable. But that's only because I didn't know better. I haven't met anyone else with such powers. But now...
