Sorry for the way this chapter was written and how uninteresting it was.
Marina's P.O.V.
As I watch what is inside the van I scream and when I see the slightly bigger Loric pendant hanging around Six's neck glow, I stop compreending the scene. I've never noticed she wore two pendants before.
The others soon realize Six's pendant is glowing, We stare at her questionly . but then my eyes again catch the sight of the van. I cant even move as I look straight into the towering skeleton of what must have been a Loric, maybe Pittacus Lore. And I dont know why, but I feel like I've known this man...or woman for my entire life
Six gulps "John and I found this skeleton with this pendant" she points to it " while we were in paradise, in Sam's dad's sundial." At this point im more than lost in this conversation and I show no attempt in trying to hide it.
"but, but I just cant figure it out how it was brought back here" Six stops for a second then she continues " maybe it's a trap! We were attacked by the mogs when we were there"
I can see the confused look in everyone's face. And I can't help but agree more with them.
We here noise coming from the other side of the van, all of us shift into an fighting position. Nine acts quickly, using his superspeed to attack the unwanted visitors.
We hear a scream, a boy's scream then a man's. Six looks at me carefully hearing the screams, then she runs up to nine and yells "stop! stop!" nine stops but he pins their arms. Then he looks at the kid.
"I remember you"
"Sam?" Six asks
"Maren Elizabeth" the boy who I guess must be Sam, says playfully. He looks as if his been through hell. His shirt is full of dirt and his nails are caked with blood, his hair is rough and his eyes look as tired as an old man's.
Though Maren Elizabeth? what? Was that Six's Earth name? No. I think dismissively.
"I thought you were dead." Six says with a smile, then after a few seconds she embraces him. He embraces her back.
Nine lets go of Sam but still holds tight the other man.
Soon Sam makes his way to Sarah to embrace whispers something in his ear when they hug.
"And who is this?" Nine asks bitterly
"My father" Sam replies
Six eyes become wide.
"Nice to meet you all" he pauses "By the way I'm Malcom." The man says
"And how can we trust him?" eight asks
"He was one of the greeters, the people who helped us when we first came to Earth. We owe a great debt to him and Sam has helped us more then we can think!" Six snaps
Ella is about to ask a question when Eight interrupts
"Okay guys we got to get going" he says indifferently
"Back in the base...ugh... There was this friend, he was an ally"
Nine makes an animal like sound. "No time for that and again we gotta get going."
Everyone says "yeah" or "sure" before we enter the van.
Nine drives. There was some argument of who was driving at first but nine was very convincing.
"So where we headin?" Nine says surprisesudly, he hasn't talked for a while now.
No one says a word, we haven't any idea of where to go we just know we must find five before the do.
After a while nine inquirers " how about my Chicago penthouse it's full of weapons and training rooms."
An uncouncious John nods a bit or maybe it's just the impact of the veichle turning. Sarah looks concerned. "But isnt Chicago crowded?" I can see most of is agree with Sarah.
"it's called hidden in plain sight." nine argues. There is silence among the van, obviously everyone thinking about it.
Six sighs. "Fine, its seems like the best place to go."
"okay then" nine mutters with a smirk.
Immediately after nine says the last word Sam asks "Where's John?"
He quickly looks around at all of us, his eyes find the lifeless John.
Sam gasps " Is he okay?" Everyone nods unsure of them selves then as if on cue I go over to him and press my hands against his head and shoulders. I feel the iciness crawl over my body as he begins to slowly heal. I can feel his bones start to move under his shoulder to its usual position, then I heal his head which takes more time.
Sam and his father stare at me dumbfounded.
" Cool legacy."
"Thanks." I reply. I wonder how much does he know about us.
John awakes and slowly sits up taking it all in. "Sam?" He asks then he looks to the other man "malcom? He's alive?"
"Indeed i am" malcom replies easily
"im sorry i left you" he says to the boy
Sam looks at John for a second as if wanting to say something but then realizing something and changing his words.
"no need to apologize"
Jonh takes a deep breath as if releasing his worries "what happened?"
Eight answers whether rapidly " you were hit by a toilet, then Marina slightly healed you and I carried you back here, we found Sam and his father here and then...well...this.
I keep my eyes on eight, his handsome curly hair, his tight jaws and his...
stop! I need to stop. And I need to understand that that kiss in India was just of show of gratitude and that kiss I gave him minutes ago only made it worse.
Eight catches my eye looking at him, I immediately turn away and blush, Six watches the whole thing happen and elbows me, then she whispers in my ear
"naughty Marina"
my skin turns to the color of a tomato. I giggle to try to laugh my way out of it however that doesn't work.
After she sees my expression she tries to take it back "I'm just kidding. Seriously, I'm joking" Six says the last part slowly as if I had a mental illnesss or something.
The human boy starts counting us then he excitedly says
"so you are all together!"
"no" John mutters incompletely
"what do you mean? There were only nine of you and then three died so that make six and here you all are"
Ella grins then she explains " I am number ten"
He looks at her with pure joy "there's a number ten? Wow!"
i chuckle seeing him deal with the "new" information. I don't know why but I like him already, I can see why John and Six are his friends.
His father seems slightly unbalanced, unknowing much. As if he was trying to remember but instead seeing blankness.
I turn to us towards focus
"we need to find five before they do, they should be feverishly hunting her down. And Five might not be able to stop them."
