Welcome back. Ok, so first of all THANK YOU SO MUCH! By the time you are reading this, there will be around 500 views! Half a thousand! So yea. Also, if you didn't know by reading my profile or read any of my reviews, really, I will kill some of the garde. Yea, I know, sad. But, that's what I think will actually happen. As you guys could see, 8 has recently died, and a lot of people really liked him. So, I might me be a cruel person, but that's what I think will happen in the book. I would just like to ask one question. When? So please leave a review when you would like to see that happen, I'm inclined to kill a major character at the end of this book, to leave you guys at a cliffhanger but I don't know for sure.
Also, I have passed 10,000 words! Yay. Most of the chapters are actually longer than what I write for school really. Most of them are about, 1,500 words while my story average is about 1,600 words . Also, that is with the 500 word first chapter that I wrote in like 10 minutes .
Also, if I reply to your review late, I'm most probably at school or sleeping. Most of you readers are in North America and I am literally 18 hours away from you guys by plane (Trust me, I've made that trip, sadly). The time zone difference is like 12 hours so I'm sorry if I reply late.
Sorrr for this being late but I am just studying for exams and I don't have much time for writing .
Thank you all for the continued support and I am just so happy today.
Four:
We walk into a hotel and as Malcolm goes to pay for our rooms, we wait on the couches. After about 5 minutes, it's all in awkward silence as none of us want to talk about anything.
"I'm going for a walk." I say. I get up and up about to walk out when Six touches my soldier.
"Can I come with you?" She asks in a quiet voice.
I nod my head quickly. I was hoping for this to happen.
We walk out in the streets and I don't realize we were holding hands until she squeezes it. I'm not complaining though.
"I'm sorry about Sarah, it must've been hard." She tells me.
"It's ok, it had to happen, she was always with them. I had this dream." I tell her. "She killed me. In Setrakus's perfect world, where everything goes his way, she kills me. It would have never worked out."
Even as I say all of these strong things, I find my eyes tearing up. Now, my vision is beginning to be blurry.
Six comes over and embraces me in a hug. I give myself a mental note to thank her. She always is helping me.
"Anyways, even if she didn't work for Setrakus, things between us wouldn't have worked out." I tell her, being completely honest.
"Why? Didn't you love her?" She asks and I see the worry in her eyes.
"Because I love someone else." I say, leaning in and kissing her.
She is shocked for a moment and then kisses back.
This is most probably the best moment of my entire life.
We stay like that for a couple of seconds longer than we needed to.
The rest of the day is spent with us getting along at Pizza Hut. Needless to say, I had a really good night.
Nine:
Six and John have left for a walk. I don't even know what they are doing right now.
I wish I went with them. I am extremely uncomfortable around Marina, especially after Eight. I just feel so bad, every time she comes close to me, I just want to apologize and run away, hide forever. I don't know what to do. I really want to do something but I can't.
She comes by me and sits next to me.
"Nine, I know you feel bad about what happened to Eight. To be honest, I don't forgive you, yet anyways." She says softly. I know she doesn't and she has every right not to. "But, we have to keep going. As much as I hate to say it, it's happened and we can do nothing about it now. We must move on, ok Nine?"
She comes close to me and gives me a nice warm hug.
"Please move on Nine, we need you in this war. Eight would want you to move on, and I do too. Nine, I have decided to move on and he was closer to me than you. Now you have to move on. This war has to continue."
I nod my head slowly realizing where she is going. I know I have to, I just don't know how.
"We'll do it together, ok Nine? We can make this trip, we have to anyways. We have an entire life and a war we have to fight. We can't just stay crying about one thing. We can do this Nine." She tells me gently.
I wonder why she is being so nice to me. I know that they need me in the war and now Marina is making me feel so much better. She always does that. I don't know how I'm going to forgive myself but I am convinced that I can and will. I begin to realize that I have become withdrawn lately, not being my usual self.
"Together." I say to her and she nods.
Ella:
Five walks into my room in morning after I've gotten dressed.
"Training time." He says.
I nod and jump off my bed. My body is still sore from the last time I trained here but I'm ready.
I run towards him and we start heading towards the training room.
"Setrakus wants to watch us today. He says that we'll be out in the field soon and he wants to see if you're up for it."
I nod and walk into the training. I walk up to the shooting area after greeting Setrakus Ra and take a simple pistol and start shooting. I've had some practice.
I hit 4 targets in the middle and the last one barely misses the middle. I give myself a silent cheer. I move on to the other stations and begin to do rather well.
I see a smile on Five's face as I see he is proud to see me develop so far and I feel myself blush.
In the end, I see Setrakus with an approving look.
"Ok, good job, Ella. I see that you have improved and I can tell that Five has been doing really well as your mentor." He gives and approving look at Five. "I think that you are both ready. But first, I want to see you guys fight it out. Legacies allowed, lets go to the arena."
The arena is just like a boxing arena. Five and I both get in and Setrakus tells us to start.
Five charges at me and he goes for a punch but I roll out of the way quickly and sweep his legs out from behind him. He looks like he's going to fall but ends up turning it into a backflip and lunges for another punch.
I get hit this time but I get up quickly and give him a punch. I go on a rampage after that, punching, kicking, and pushing him with telekinesis.
He suddenly makes a bold move. He grabs the corner piece and turns to iron just as I punch him. My knuckles crack and I fall to my knees holding my hand. I let a scream out of pain.
"Sorry Ella." He says as he punches me in the jaw with his iron fist and I'm out cold.
Sorry that was a short chapter. Anyways, I've decided I will go ahead with 5/10 and I will NOT do 7/9… I have no idea what I will do with Nine though, please guys, you can help! I could create my own character but I don't know if that would be smart. Please give me your feedback and good night as it is 3:30 AM for me… BYE!
