Chapter 1
Nine people came to earth after their planet, Lorien, was destroyed. They looked like humans but they were not. Mogadorians had destroyed their planet. Only 9 people escaped, each with their own protector. They were all on earth, but the Mogadorians were hunting them. The 9 of them could only be killed in order of their numbers, so they could not all be killed if they stayed separated. Each time a Mogadorian killed 1 of them, the others got a scar on their ankle, as if to say "Be careful".
From a distance, it looked like an old sign. Up close, it read: Welcome To Paradise, Population 1,500 people. Six kept on driving in her old black Ford pickup truck. The windshield wipers were moving back and forth as if they were running away from the rain. There also was a lot of traffic considering the amount of people who live in this so called "Paradise". It didn't even look like a Paradise. Farms were everywhere and everything from the houses to the people were old. Six imagined a real Paradise to be filled with sunshine and happy things, not this. However, Six kept on driving not knowing where she was going, just driving. Thinking about the day her cépan died.
4 months ago Six's cépan (protector) died. Six and her cépan got captured by the Mogadorians. Six was tortured with horrible things like being cut with a knife multiple times, but no matter how hard they tried they could not kill her. Finally, the Mogadorians gave up on trying to kill her and just killed her protector. As soon as Six realized she was gone, she lost it.
"Ahhhh! How could you? You guys are filthy monsters'.I tell you, monsters!" she choked between sobs. They didn't seem to hear her. All Six could think about was getting out of that jail cell and one day she did. Ever since that day Six has never been the same. Six has been on the road trying to find the other 5 numbers because, before her protector died, they thought that if the remaining 6 numbers stuck together they would be unstoppable and defeat the Mogadorians once and for all. None of them had a plan to kill the Mogadorians but, they they had to do it.
She tried to hold back the tears at the thought of her greatly missed loss, pushed the thought away and just focus on how on earth she was supposed to find the other numbers and defeat the Mogadorians before they defeated the rest of them.
