I Am Number 9
My name at this moment is Cammie but that will probably change when they come. The Mogadorian's were now here on earth and are here to destroy the rest of my kind. Yes I said my 'Kind' I'm from Lorien a planet far, far away from here I was forced to move along with Bianca and eight other children with their Cepen's. The thought of all my kind being killed, murdered just for our planets sources!The very thought makes my heart ache my old family that I loved with all my heart. Despite my age when it happened I knew that I would never see my family again no one would ever see them. The only friend I had was on the ship with me he was my age at the time but when we got to earth our Cepen's forced us to separate it hurt me knowing that I wouldn't see him for a long time if ever, tears come to my eyes at the thought of it but I push them away and put up my strong act. I'm forced to move every time people go missing or when people get a little to curious. I know I'm not alone I can't be, if I were the symbols on my calf would have increased. I'm 17 at least that's what my newest license says, I have long golden blonde hair natural highlights that cascade's down my back all the way to my waist brilliant blue eyes or at least thats what Bianca tells me, tanned skin I'm quiet toned from all my training I stand about 5 foot 8 I may not be from earth but it is my world now and I intend to protect it no matter the costs. Right now were on the road, the cause you may ask? Because one of my legacies showed in class, so Bianca rushed me out of school and we grabbed only the necessary things and burned my old wallet with all my pictures and spare clothing. I'm sick of running, I'm sick of not knowing what the future holds but most of all I'm sick ofnever having time to make real friends or be in a relation ship. Yes that means I have never even had a kiss pathetic right? I want to be normal but that's a luxury that I can only wish for.
"Are we there yet?" I asked bored of twisting my pendant around like I have been for the past nineteen hours.
"Almost" she answered simply I sighed she's only said that like five times
"Where are we going?" hoping it is better than living in Montana like our previous home
"Florida near the Cape" I'm cool on the out side but on the inside I'm jumping up and down knowing I can now bend water and were moving near the ocean. I close my eyes and lean my head against the window hoping for sleep to take me away for the rest of the ride.
I woke with a start when the car jerked to a stop causing me to bang against the window
"Ow! What the hell!" I yelled at her
"No cussing! And were here" motioning her hand towards the house on the beach my mouth hung open just staring at the beauty of the water. I jumped out of the car grabbed my things and ran to the door trying to keep a normal pace. Bianca calmly walked up behind with her things and unlocked the door I ran to an empty room dropped my things and dug around for my Aqua string bikini and black sweats to cover the symbols, I found them and threw them on then peeled off my previous and threw on the new cloths. I walk past her ignoring her rant on 'being careful' and blah blah blah. I walked out to the beach and walked on the shore until I found there was a party going on I was about to turn around and go but I heard people yelling for me to come over. I walked over slowly only because I didn't know what to make of them all. I made my way over to the to the guys calling me I put my hands on my hips and my hair flowed down my back.
"What?" I asked
"We wanted to spend time with the hot new girl, we heard you'd be coming to our school" the one with a muscular body and brown hair said
"Thanks but I could have met you tomorrow or something" I say kind of disturbed that my appearance spread that quickly
"Well why wait?" the one with hot abs and blonde hair said
"Yeah whatever, well anyways I'm Cammie" and I extended my hand and the blonde took it and smirked I eyed him carefully for a moment
"Nice to meet ya, I'm James that's Rick and that's Austin" he said gesturing to the guys
"Well cool, but I got to go we need to UN pack" and I extend my hand and he takes it but pulls me into a hug I would have beat the crap out of him but I remained cool, after he lets go I jogged home with a scowl on my face. I enter the house and walked up to my room there is a bed a dresser and a closet I jump on the bed and instantly fall asleep.
Next Day
"Cammie!" I heard Bianca yell I slowly stirred and yelled in response that I heard her
"Yeah?"
"You need to get dressed school, get going in twenty"
"Fine" I shrugged then I went to my bag and threw on a pair of navy skinny Jeans to cover the symbols, an aqua tank with a black cardigan and black converse. Then I ran down stairs and we said our goodbyes and I ran to school. It didn't take much effort considering I run twelve times as much on regular basis.
I entered the school grounds and heard people talking about me already, some of the cheerleaders said some dumb shit about me and I heard the guys calling me hot and whistling the only reason I ignored it is because I'm at a house by the beach and I love it here already and I don't feel like leaving again. I walk to the door of the office and handed the girl my registration form and I went and sat in one of the chairs. Then a guy with blonde hair blue eyes and a muscular body walks through the door along with another girl and a boy the girl had blonde hair slightly darker than my own gray eyes and looks kind of strong, the boy behind her is tall and skinny with a long neck and brown hair and eyes to match. They all handed the lady behind the desk there forms then sat down next to me. I felt there eyes tracing me which made me uncomfortable then right as I was about to say something the lady walks back out and hands me my schedule I took it and walked out. I walk to the bath room first and looked in the mirror make sure I look one hundred percent normal and I'm just fine so I walk out to my first period class. I knock on the door and stick my head in
"Ah you must be one of the new students" the woman asks 'One of?' I thought
"Yes ma'ma" I reply
"Please introduce your self then take a seat"
"I'm Cammie" I say not gonna say a word of where I use to be then I walk to the seat in the back and sit, one guy looks back and winks I give him a look of disgust in return. Then the teacher talks about some Science stuff but I block it out completely I feel my pendant heating up and it's beginning to burn my chest, I wince at the burning sensation but it just worsens and the glow turns on I clutch it in attempt to hide it but I can feel it marking the symbol on my hand. I stand up and run out of the room only to find the same three people standing in front of me I push past them and run to the nearest room I feel someone following me but I ignore it my pendant is glowing as bright as the sun it feels as if its burning a hole though me. Then I hear the door knob twist so I lock it, the whole room fades into nothing but darkness. I wake again but not in the room I'm on a ship I and I look out the nearest window and see Lorien smoke rising everywhere motionless bodies lay flat and lifeless, tears start to come so I force my self to look away and then I see little kids running around I see only two that look familiar myself as a four year old and my old best friend he had blonde hair rosy cheeks and puffy blue eyes. I remember this scene all to well it was the day we were forced to leave and the day our Cepen's told us we would have to separate when we enter earth. I close my eyes and I'm back in the room by my self I move a hand to my face and it remained god for once I didn't cry. I pick myself up and unlock the door to look at the time it says 12:45 lunch time I jog to class and grab my bag. I walk outside and sit under a tree away from every body every once in a while I hear my name but I ignore it. I don't eat any food because I already feel sick to my stomach, then I hear someone approaching about one yard away and he clears his throat to get my attention.
"What" I asked slightly annoyed not even bothering to look up
"I just wanted to introduce myself, we never got the chance to do it in the hall way" he says I stand up and see it's the guy from the office and hallway but he's alone I raise an eyebrow at him.
"I'm Cammie" I say extending my hand my face probably looks bored because of the amount of times I've had to do this.
"John, nice to meet you" he says while firmly shaking my hand
"Yup" then I sit back down
"I was wondering if you wanted to come sit with me and my friends?" he asks I shake my head no then I get up and attempt to walk to class but he gently grabs my arm, my pendant starts to burn and it feels like a hole has been pierced through the previous burn. I yank my arm away and walk in side leaving him behind.
John's POV
Six then walks over to me with a questioning look
"That's her I'm almost positive"
"Are you sure that's number nine? And how do you know?"
"I-I don't know I just have this feeling"
"If you say so" Six shrugged.
Week's had past since that day and still no sign of her, we were on week 4.
"Were running out of time John the Mog's are going to be here soon" Six tells me as the three of us walk the beach because for some reason I felt drawn here
"So we can make time" I tell her she shrugs in response Sam runs ahead and stops at what he sees. Me and Six run up to him and look where he's looking and we stand still as well, we see Cammie standing by the water in an aqua bikini I just stare in awe at how perfect her body is but I notice her right leg and she has the same scars Six and I have. Then she looks towards us and looks as if she's seen a ghost then she runs into the water and dives in, I wait a second before taking of my shirt and shoes and running into the water myself. I dive in and the waters clear I can see everything including Cammie who's making her way towards the bottom I'm amazed at how long she's held her breath because I'm starting to get light headed, I swim to her faster but the faster I go her speed increases as well. Then I see black dots and the last thing I see is her swimming towards me rolling her eyes. The next thing I know I'm on the beach with Cammie standing over me with an annoyed look in her eyes.
"What do you want" she nearly yelled
"I know who you are" I say I see her flinch and as she's about to run I use my telekinesis to hold her still
"Let. Me. GO" She says slowly in a dangerous tone
"You have to come with us or the Mog's are going to kill you!" I tell her she closes her eyes and sends water flying my way holding me in place then freezing it.
"Where's your Cepen?" she asks me
"Dead and yours?"
"In the house"
"Take me to her" she shrugs then lets the water melt and we run back to the house, Six and Sam close behind. We were there no later then 10 seconds, she walked up to the door and kicked it open
"Bianca!" she yelled and a women came running down stairs "He wants to talk to you, I'm going to change" she said then left
