A/N: Hey guys! I decided to create this new fanfic about I am Number Four for I am so obsessed with it at the moment. What else to do than to write about it right? Anyway, just like how my first fanfic started out as a one-shot, I'll do the same with this….I'm just a beginner so constructive criticism would really help me A LOT! Please, review! When you do, maybe I'll continue on writing further chapters…who knows? Alright, I'll stop talking and let you guys read this.
Disclaimer: I do not own I Am Number Four. It belongs to its rightful owner (author) Pittacus Lore. I do not own any current characters presented in the book/film already. One thing for sure though, I'm so obsessed with this series and if I did own the book, the Power of Six would have came out already (just saying).
Prologue
"They caught Number One in Malaysia, Number Two in England, and Number Three in Kenya. All of them were killed. Who am I? I am Number Four and I am next."
Chapter 1: Hope
Back then, I can pretty much describe my life as nothing but a frantic run. I was required to stand low, forced to isolate my own self, because of what I am. I look just like every human out there, but I am not. I came from a planet called Lorien, which was now destroyed by the Mogadorians, who will not stop till they kill every Lorien still alive out there. This means us, members of the Garde, each with our own unique Legacies, and who are meant to avenge our planet and our kind. Unfortunately, there are only six of us left out of the nine, all are in Earth, hiding and running for their lives. Why me? Why them? Why us? I'm pretty sure all of us have asked these questions over and over again, but cannot find the answers simply because, we will never will. I tried to believe that everything happens for a reason, but what is mine?
When I decided to make a life for myself in Paradise, Ohio, this is where I found it – my reason. I met a beautiful girl, Sarah Hart, whom I fell in love with and will forever love. She is why I have to keep on living, because I promised her that I will come back for her, that we will be together again when all of this is over. Yes, the charm that was supposed to protect us from the Mogadorians, is now broken. I, along with Number Six and Sam are on a search for the rest of our kind, hopeful of finding them before the Mogadorians. It is very painful for me to do this as by doing it, I needed to part with Sarah Hart. I miss her already, I miss her a lot.
"You'll see her again John. Want me to drive instead?" Sam says, hoping that he would light me up. It did, in some ways I guess.
"I'm good Sam. I just wish that I didn't have to leave her but, it is safer this way. Oh, and I'm fine taking the wheel, it helps take my mind off of things. Thank you." I was looking at the reflection of Sarah and Mark in the mirror. It was just as painful seeing Henry die in my arms.
I will fight, for me, for Sarah, for Henry, for Sam, for everyone. I will not loose and I don't plan to intend to. I will fight for those who have fought and lost their lives for me, for the Garde. And when everything's over, I will go back to Sarah and start anew. She will always wait for me, I know that for sure and I will always be longing for her, to be together again.
I looked at Sam, hoping to get his attention, but I see him looking somewhere else. Staring would probably a better word to describe what he was doing. He was staring at Jane who was leading us on her Ducati.
"I think I like her John. Do you think she'll ever fall for a guy like me?" he asks, unconsciously.
"Hmm? What's not to like Sam?" I was looking at Sam, then at Six, then back at Sam. She was more of a badass type and he was more of the braniac/Einstein type. "Opposites attract Sam," I said, not wanting to put his hopes down.
"Opposites attract? Sure, sure. I'm a human and she's a chick from Lorien who's supposed to repopulate your planet once all of this is over. I'm the one who is attracted, and her? Not a chance… Oh, sorry John, I didn't mean it in a bad way. You and Sarah are great together! I envy you for having someone who loves you as much as you love her." Sam added, right after he sees John frowning about the whole 'repopulate' idea.
"Nice save. Anyway, don't give up without trying Sam. I'm actually rooting for you two you know. I can't wait for the day I see Jane soften up to someone."
"You think so?"
"I know so," I answered him in a very assuring tone.
"-sigh- Alright, so, where are we going next?"
"We're off to find the others: Number 7 for now, and we believe she's in: Spain."
A/N: So is this a good start. I'm also looking for some ideas in what should happen next – if I decide to continue this. I need to know more facts about the rest of the NINE. Again, please review!
