"URGENT MEETING!" The loudspeaker sounds and I look up.   "Celestina Overy, Sountar'll Kallry, and Glassina Archer, please report to the office." 

“Celestina?” Signora looks worried. “You should head over now.” she adds, in a soft voice. 

“Of course, Signora!” I chirp, nodding my head vigorously. I curtsy and skip out of the room, despite the somber mood that lingers in the halls. 

I’m the first there, but soon, a golden-haired girl walks in, apparently worried. 

I grin widely, extending my hand, "Celestina Overy! It's very nice to meet you!" 

She reaches over and slowly shakes my hand, but she stays silents, and I frown, "You are..." 

"Glassina Archer." 

I nod, smiling, when a third girl joins us, with brown hair in a loose bun. 

"Hello, everyone. I'm Sountar'll Kallry. I suppose you know why I'm here?" 

Glassina shakes her head, but I chirp, "Oh, we don't know yet. We're still waiting for someone to come tell us!" 

Just then, a woman with a tight, black bun enters the room. 

"Hello! I'm Celestina Ov-" I start, but the woman interrupts me. How rude! 

"I know who you are. Come with me," She stands and walks over to the wall. 

She presses a button on her watch and a part of the wall slides open to reveal a doorway, with stairs leading down. 

"Go down. The others will be there. Matthew down there will tell you about the Maka." 

The Maka? I’ve heard of it, but only in stories that my grandmother told me; epics and folklore. But it was always only a myth.

We walk down the stairwell, into a small, dimly lit room with a few people  and an old man, sitting with them, a grave look on his face, "Celestina. Glassina. Sountar'll. Welcome." 

Glassina nods, and we all sit down. He begins to speak."Now that everyone is here, I'll tell you why you're here. The Maka are rising. The rumors are true. The Maka is gathering followers, an army, to take our powers for themselves. And we need help. That's why we took you, nine people, one from each house, to help us." 

There is a silence, then a girl asks, "Why us?" 

Rhidera~

"For the last time, Rhideria Yussh, Cere Latta and (insert namr i forgot here), would you PLEASE report to the office." I sigh and stand up from my desk. Cere followed behind me, and i was freaking nervpus. We entered the small conference room. About six other girls stood in the room, uncomfortably gathered around a single man.

"Please, girls, calm yourselves." The insessent buzzing stopped.

"Now i know yoybmust have many questions..." at this he proceeded to launch into a bigbdiscussion. At the end, he said, "Any questions?"

I raised my hanf shakily. "Whybus?"
