I was laying down on my favourite couch, my hands resting behind my head, trying to sleep when Eight teleported in front of me.

"What is it?" I asked drowsily.

"It's Ella." he told me. "She wants us to meet her in the lecture hall." He teleported away just as quickly as he had come. He's going to find Marina. I sighed before getting to my feet, tiredly wandering over. Marina, Ella and Eight were already sitting at Sandor's huge control panel, looking at something in Ella's hand when I arrived. When I got closer I saw that it was the locator tablet that Four and Six had found in Sam's backyard.

I had only met Sam once, when Four and Sam had found me in the a Mogadorian base in West Virginia. I had transferred an ex-ray stone to him and given it to him, so he could search the prison cells after he had mumbled something about looking for his Dad. Four and I couldn't rescue him. He had been captured and I haven't seen him since.

"It was there a moment ago." Ella frowned, snapping me back to the moment.

"What was there?" I asked, craning my neck to look at the tablet.

"Number Ten." Ella replied, her eyes locked on the screen.

"Ella, are you sure?" I asked. We had thought that Ella was Number Ten, but she had received a letter from Crayton telling her that she wasn't.

"Yes!" she insisted, jumping up and down on her little feet. She had the aeternus legacy, which allowed her to appear as any age as she wanted, I'm not sure why she preferred the age of a little girl.

"I don't see it, Ella." Marina said doubtedly.

"It was there a few moments ago, the blue dot. And I know the location too." she told us, typing into the computer quickly.

"Maybe you thought you saw it, but" Eight was cut off before he could finish.

"Eight, I know what I saw." Ella scoffed. "It was number Ten. The real number Ten. We have to get to Ten before the Mogadorians find out about him or her." she insisted.

"We can't just leave," Eight retorted. "Four, Six and Sarah will be coming back with Five anytime now."

"We can meet them on the way! We can't waste any time!" Ella hissed. I had never seen the little squirt so worked up before.

"We don't even know if what you saw is true!" I retorted.

"Nine, we have to go. Please! Ten is waiting for us!" Ella pleaded.

"What if there wasn't a blue dot, and you are just imagined it?" Marina asked.

"I didn't imagine it!" Ella insisted.

"Fine," I sighed, giving in. "We'll go."

"But Nine," Eight tried to argue.

"If Ella believes that is what she saw, then we will check it out." I shrugged. "Worst thing that can happen is that we are wrong. If she is right, then we have another ally."

"I'll pack some things!" Ella cheered excitedly.

"I'll help," Marina suggested. She grabbed Ella's hand and led her out of the room, leaving me and Eight alone.

"Nine, what if there is no Ten where Ella wants to go?" Eight asked.

"I'm not going to argue with the squirt," I sigh. "Besides," I say. "Maybe some Mogadorians will be around for us to kick their asses." I grinned.

"I'd rather avoid any fighting, thanks." Eight muttered, shaking his head slowly. His time in India turned him into a buzzkill.

"Why?" I frowned.

"Fighting, means people will get hurt." he shrugged.

"If we get hurt, then Marina can heal us." I scoffed.

"What if they kill one of us before Marina can get to them?" Eight asked nervously. "I just don't want another scar in my ankle."

"There won't be." I reassured him. "We'll just have to practice."

"Nine, I still have a bad feeling about this." Eight told me.

"Don't worry," I insisted. "If Ella is right, then we found another Garde. If she isn't, big deal. We go on a road trip. Nothing bad is going to happen." I got up and started walking towards the door.

"You just jinxed it." Eight muttered. I pretended not to hear him as I walked towards my room.


Hello! So here is chapter one, re-written. I just finished the prequel, Last Days Of Lorien, so I decided to re-do this story. Enjoy :)
