A/N: Just went to watch I AM NUMBER FOUR and LOVED it so of course, had to write a fanfic about it! So, this is immediately after they leave the graveyard...R&R!

As the truck drove away from the graveyard, Four's phone buzzed in his pocket. Still keeping a watchful eye on the road, he pulled the iPhone out of his pocket. It was a message from Mark. She'll b ok w/ me. Wont try anythng, prmise. I think the wk's events hav kinda changed my view on things. Gd luk.

Four managed to smile. He knew he could trust Mark to look after Sarah...after all, the boy was in love with her. Four gave a small laugh. Not as much as he was, of course. Sam looked across from his seat, giving his friend a grin. 'So,' he said. 'Where exactly are we going to find Number Five?'

'We'll probably get out next clue at the spot that we were directed to go,' Four explained. 'If we find Number Five there that will just make it a bonus and we'll directly be able to find Number Seven.'

Sam licked his dry lips. 'Yo, Joh...I mean, Four?'

'Mm?'

'What's your real name?'

Four laughed, pressing down on the accelerator. He ran his fingers through his dirty blonde hair. 'Yeah. Real name. I've a feeling it's in that box somewhere.' He glanced at Sam who was goggling at him. 'You don't know your real name?' He sounded horrified. Four nodded. 'I do know it, don't worry. I just haven't used it since I was seven so...I kinda forgot it. Speaking of names, I need to get a new one. So does Six.'

There was a bang from the back of the truck and Sam and Four jumped in panic and Four braked suddenly, looking backwards. It was just Six. Sam breathed out thankfully as Six secured her motorbike at the back of the truck and climbed in between the boys. 'Been thinking 'bout that,' she said. 'I've texted a friend. From now onwards, Four, you're Avery Cunningham and I'm you're older sister, Alice.'

'And me?' Sam asked.

'What about you?' Four said in confusion. Sam rolled his eyes. 'My step-dad is bound to look for me, alerting Mark's dad and I'll be a MISSING person. They'll most likely suspect that you two have kidnapped me. I need a new identity.'

'The kid's right,' Six said, slipping unconsciously out of her American accent. 'You're going to be our cousin so we just need to figure out a first name.'

'Tyler,' Sam said. The other two looked at him curiously. Sam shrugged. 'Was off the top of my head.'

Four's phone vibrated again and Six sighed. 'Christ, let me take the wheel,' she muttered and before Four knew it, he was sitting beside Sam. He didn't say anything, knowing Six was not one to cross. Instead, he focused on his iPhone screen. From Sarah it said. Missing u already. Four couldn't help but smile. Yeah he texted back. Me too. PS- I'll be dumping my sim evry couple of wks so wat shuld I say 4 u 2 knw its me wen I txt u?

There was a couple of minutes before a reply. When Four did get one, he was impressed by the idea.

5:58pm Sarah says:

put no from 1-9 at the beginning of each message. Ex:

123456789

hey missing u.

get it?

Four thought about it for a moment, then texted her back.

How about just 4. Ex:

4

luv u.

get it?

'Ugh, you two are gross,' Sam complained, looking over Four's shoulder. 'But how does this true love thing work?'

Four and Six exchanged looks. 'You know Twilight?' Six said. Sam nodded. 'My cousin Emma forced me to read it and watch the movies with her after I destroyed her bike in an experiment.'

Four snorted with laughter. Six ignored him. 'Right. So you know all that crap about the wolves and the imprinting?'

Sam nodded.

'Well, it's kinda like that except we can't make the other person fall in love with you. If you're their true love then fantastic coincidence. But a lot of the time, Loriens had to end up marrying someone they didn't truly love so that they could keep the race going.'

'What's the deal with the human sitch, then?' Sam asked, glancing at Four. Six sighed. 'Dunno,' she said, sounding slightly irritated at Four. 'That's another reason our Guards tried to keep us from become close friends with anyone. They didn't really know what would happen if we fell for a human so they tried to keep it from happening.'

At the mention of Guards, Four felt a pang of sadness and his heart felt empty and hollow. Hardly remembering his father, Henri had replaced that image and no matter how angry Four remembered he had been at the prospect of always moving, Henri had been his only real friend...

Until now, he self corrected. Bernie gave a whine from his lap, pawing his jacket. Four smiled apologetically. 'Sorry, man. We have to move as quickly as possible. You get that. No run at the moment.'

Bernie gave a disappointed bark, then settled down again and closed his eyes for a nap. Sam chuckled, patting his head. Four felt a slight comfort at the fact that for once in his life, he had friends who knew of his lineage and the reason they were constantly running. Then, he too closed his eyes and fell into a dreamless sleep.
