Hello, I apologize for the long wait. I just couldn't seem to write this chapter. I apologize (again) in advance if it isn't as good as the others or if it feels rushed. I just needed to get it out of the way so I can start my little cycle of POVs. Now that I got all the current situations described, I'll start rotating POVs. I might even have two or even three POVs in one chapter. I've already got a plan for the next chapter. You are all going to see Eight and the unknown character is going to explain herself. Hopefully that will answer some of your questions.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Lorien legacies.


John-

After shaking Adam's hand, I pick up the chests with my telekinesis. He watches me, silently, before speaking.

"Is that your Chimæra on the roof?" he asks. I look over at him and drop the chests, my mouth hanging open in shock. For a moment, I do nothing. I just stare at the Mog in front of me. Then, I sprint towards the stairs as fast as I can. I have to get to BK. "Four! Wait up!" Adam shouts as he tries to follow me. I ignore him and shove the heavy door open with all of my strength. The sun nearly blinds me and it takes me a second to see what's going on. When my eyes do adjust, I find myself looking at BK lying on the roof, bloody and barely breathing. All of the attacking Mogs are gone; there is only ash.

"BK!" I scream, running to his side and using my legacy to heal him. When I place my hands on his side, his eyes flutter open and meet mine. John, he says in my mind. I could not save Ella, I'm sorry.

"It's okay BK," I reply. "They won't hurt her, I'm sure of it. We just need to find the others and get her back." BK closes his eyes. After a quick nap though, flying is not as easy as it looks. And getting shot down isn't a walk in the park either. I laugh, feeling better knowing that BK is fine. Adam walks up behind me, taking deep breaths and holding his side.

"Damn Four, do you have to run so fast?" he pants. I look up at him and manage to smirk despite everything that's happened. Adam rolls his eyes when he sees me. "Whatever. Before we meet your other friends waiting wherever you sent them, we need to get something from my car."

"What do we need to get?" I ask, standing up. BK shrinks into a lizard and curls up into my hand, letting me place him into my pocket.

"My Chimæra. I have six of them waiting for us." I feel my face light up. Adam glances at me before continuing. "They were experimented on though, and they can't stop shape shifting."

"Do you hear that, BK?" I ask, patting my pocket. "We have six more Chimæra, just like you only they can't stop shape shifting. Do you think you could help them?"

"Actually, one of them is fine, so it's only five Chimæra that need help," Adam interrupts. I turn to him.

"Really? Well then, BK, do you think you could help them?" I ask again. Yes, I'll try my hardest. I look back over to Adam, who's waiting for my reply. "Yeah, BK can help them"

"Then let's go," he says as he turns around and walks back towards the stairs. "Oh, and animal telepathy? That's a cool legacy." I shake my head, smiling, and follow him. When we got back inside, we immediately go into the elevator and I press the button for the first floor. As the elevator descends, Adam tells me about himself, starting with meeting One and ending with breaking the Chimæra out of Plum Island. I'm surprised that he went through all that just to help us. When the elevator reaches the ground floor, it dings. We get out and walk past a scared looking security guard. When he sees me, his face twists in anger.

"John Smith! How dare you come here!" he shrieks, pointing at me. I see a girl over in the corner pulling out her phone to call the cops. I look nervously at Adam, who nods at the door. Together, we run out and Adam leads me down the street to his car. I gasp when I see what's inside.

"Whoa, you weren't lying when you said they couldn't stop shape shifting," I say as we look at the five Chimæra. The one that isn't shape shifting runs over to Adam as a dog and licks his face.

"Hey Dust!" Adam laughs. The Chimæra, Dust, looks at me. Who are you?

"I am number Four, but you can call me John," I answer. Adam gives me a strange look before remembering that I can talk to animals. Dust walks over and licks my hand. It's nice to meet you, John, It says. I look at the others and try to communicate with them too. Fortunately, the sense me and speak.

Help me, number Four. I can't stop changing shape, one of them says.

This is getting quite annoying; I'd really like to stay the same for at least a couple of minutes, another one chimes in.

All of this shape shifting is making me tired. I feel as though I might pass out, a female one complains.

Hello number Four, I'd like to greet you formally, but I'm kind of in a situation, says the fourth one.

I'm hungry. Please ask Adamus whether he's getting us food or not, the last one tells me. I start to feel dizzy and I place a hand on my head.

"Ugh. Please, not all at once. I'm getting a headache," I mutter as I lean on the car door.

"Are you okay?" Adam asks. I nod.

"Yeah, I'm just not used to having so many animals speak in my head at the same time." Adam looks thoughtful before walking over to the driver's seat and hopping in.

"Come on, let's go find your friends." I get into shotgun and tell Adam to head over to the zoo. While we drive, I turn and look at the penthouse, gasping at the damage the Mogs did. BK stirs in my pocket. Are we there yet?

"No BK," I reply tiredly. "But we will be soon. We found the Chimæra. They're in the back," I tell him before he asks me about them. I close my eyes and start to fall asleep while BK crawls back and introduces himself.

I wake up to Adam shaking me.

"What!?" I demand, sitting up angrily before realizing that I was just sleeping. It was a dreamless sleep, and I have no idea how long it lasted.

"We're here," Adam announces before adding, "You were asleep for about ten minutes. I'm surprised it took us that long to get here. Traffic was pretty bad."

"Where are they?" I ask, looking around. Adam points to a small group of people standing off to the side, looking in the opposite direction.

"I think that's them," he says.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" The two of us get out of the car and walk towards the group. They hear us coming and turn around. I recognize them immediately.

"JOHN!" Sarah screams, running towards me as soon as she sees us. When she reaches me, I pick her up and kiss her for a couple of seconds before turning to Sam and Malcolm. Sam is grinning like an idiot.

"You found Adam," he says as he walks over and hugs me.

"Actually, he found me," I laugh as I hug him back. "And you won't believe what else he found." We all walk over to Adam's car and I show him the Chimæra.

"Whoa, they're just like BK," Sarah mutters.

"Yes, and they're beautiful," Malcolm says with a smile. "But let's take Sandor's car instead of Adams."

"Yeah, his car is better," I agree before turning back to Adam's car. "Come on, we're switching cars," I call to the Chimæra inside. BK is the last one to come out. I've helped them as much as I can. They seem to shape shift more when they're excited so I'm trying to help calm them down. Whatever the Mogadorians did to them is still in effect and just needs to wear off over time.

"Alright, thanks BK." I turn and start to walk with the others to the car they decided to take out of Sandor's collection, my hand in Sarah's. When we start to get near it, I start to feel a burning sensation in my ankle. I scream and collapse to the ground, clutching my leg. Sarah cries out and kneels down next to me. I ignore her and focus on the scar that's searing itself into my ankle. Not another one, I think as I let out another tortured cry. There's something different about this scar though. It feels cold. Freezing, actually. I scream again before passing out.


Ta-daaa. I'm excited to start writing my next chapter. Finally, I finished this one. I can move on! I'm sorry about anything in this chapter that wasn't good. For some reason, my mind doesn't like John's situation now. I have no idea why, and it's not a good thing because what happens with John is important to the plot.
