Author's Note: Hello! Thanks guys for reviewing – it really means a lot to me that you like my story; Thanks to Marina3Eight, IwishIcouldbeNumberFive, Samthevariablex and the 2 Guests. Also thanks to everyone that favourited and followed my story!
Marina3Eight: Yes, 1, 2, and 3 are in the story – I've done a POV from Two in an earlier chapter. I will probably introduce 1 and 3 a little later (maybe) but also please give me ideas on their personalities and Legacies! I hope that answered your question :) (thank you)
You guys are honestly THE BEST! Ok enough talking/Author's-noting.
ACTION! :D :D
Emily/Five POV
Time seems to slow down as my Inheritance opens, I find myself rubbing my hands together like some creepy person. Em stop rubbing your hands and focus.
"OK" I whisper to myself, then straight away feel stupid for replying to my conscience. Kate looks up from the Loric chest and smiles. I feel my mouth morph into a massive grin as she pulls out…
a rock?
Instantly the smile on my face recedes and I find my self frowning, but still for some reason rubbing my hands.
"Uh, Kate? What's with the rock?" I say, pointing to the smooth, oblong object. She grins some more,
"First off this is a stone not a rock. And secondly, it's a Healing Stone" she says, giving to me to hold. Great, I gotta rock – I mean stone. Argh.
"Come on Kate, can't we just skip the boring crap and go to the cool stuff?" I say, trying my best to do puppy-dog eyes. Kate sighs but I see her smiling,
"Alright then, take a look at this" she says, handing me a cape-looking thing. It's a very dark grey and has a hood attached at the top of it. It pretty much looks like something Robin Hood of Earth would wear. I raise my eyebrow and stare at the fabric; expecting it to do something,
"What is it?" I say a little to fast, Kate just smiles and pats my back,
"It's a cloaking device, it allows you to-"
"Can I go invisible?" I cut off Kate, she can sense the excitement in my voice,
"Yes and No" she says,
"What does that mean?"
"No" she replies, slightly grinning, my excited expression shifts to a frown,
"It allows you to 'cloak' yourself. People won't initially see you, but they will see the outline of your body" Kate says, putting the cloaking device back into the Loric chest,
"So it's invisibility without the invisible-you-can't-see-me part?" I say, sarcasm dripping off every word. Kate chuckles to herself,
"Exactly"
After a few more show-and-tell items in my chest something catches my eye as Kate is about to close it.
"Wait what's that?" I say, pointing to a dark looking material. Kate takes it out, her expression turning from curiosity to confusion. She takes out the dark material fully, and I'm face-to-face with a glove-looking sleeve. Kate gives it to me cautiously and motions for me to try it on. I do. The fabric is smooth and cool on the inside, and the sleeve feels like it was made for my hand. I turn it around, looking at it,
"So what does it do?" I ask, turning to Kate, she shrugs,
"I-I don't know. I was never told I guess" she says, looking curiously at the sleeve.
I turn over the sleeve again and then take it off, not wanting to accidentally break something or worse. Kate takes it cautiously and places it back into my Loric Chest,
"OK, we'll learn some more about your Inheritance later… Oh it's almost dinner! I'll fix something up quickly!" Kate says, looking at her watch then exiting the room, I hug her before she does. I pack up my school things for tomorrow and head down stairs, but before I get to the stairs a wave of nausea hits me; my chest feels weighing down and I feel a bit light headed. After about a minute or two of rubbing my temples I walk down the stairs to Kate.
Maggie POV
I love books.
It's a thing.
I finished all the books my uncle sent me from Earth; most of them were plays by Shakespeare; there was this one called Nineteen Eighty-Four – great book. Anyway, right now I'm going through the Legacy dictionary I borrowed from the school library. I just finished a short training session with Conrad, it was mostly a strategic lesson; muscle doesn't matter in a fight, only mind does – that's what he always says. My mind drifts off to Britney. She still hasn't called back, I'm getting quite worried; the last time she didn't call back was because she was in police custody – she steals way too many things. I push the worry aside and continue reading the dictionary. I turn the page to find a ripped part of a page missing, I look around the floor to see if it had fallen off. No such luck. I go through every single page, curiously looking for this missing part. Finally I stumble upon a folded piece of paper, tucked into the spine of the thick dictionary. I pull it out and slowly open it. Normally knowing me, I'd expect something amazing or shocking, but all it is, is a list of Legacies.
Seismic Manipulation
Energy Manipulation
Telescopic Vision
Technokinesis
Size Manipulation
Phase-shifting
Supersonic Speed
ESP
Super Agility
Lumen
Pyrokinesis
Animal Telepathy
Flight
Elemental Mimicry
Duplication
Invisibility
Weather Manipulation
Healing Factor
Cryomen
Night Vision
Aquatic Respiration
Teleportation
Shape-shifitng
Hydrolocomotion
Antigravity
Legacy Transference
Super Enhancement
There are twenty-seven Legacies altogether; I have no idea what they mean. I look at them again… nothing comes to mind. The rest of the page is blank, I turn over the page and I'm met with the shock that I originally expected,
We know who you are.
Joe/Eight POV
I feel like crap.
I honestly can't remember clearly what happened after the car drove off into the distance. A few things are blurry memories, but nothing's clear. And worst of all, I have the worst headache, I can barely move my shut eyes without my brain pulsing with the same pain I felt before I blacked out. I slowly open my eyes, I groan from the lights above me. I hear a small squeal, and three blurry three figures run towards me. Their footsteps echo throughout the hall and I can feel every step. I groan again and this time try to sit up; I'm in someone's lap, my vision clears and my ears unblock. A rush of voices hits me, I takes me a while to process what they're saying,
"Do you think he's awake?" a feminine voice asks, I think it's Maren,
"I dunno, he's groaning. Try poking him" a masculine voice replies, I know that's John,
"Joe? Joe? Are you there? Come on buddy" I hear Reynolds say, I focus on Reynolds voice and open my eyes fully. Before me stands Maren, John and Reynolds, I sit up and realise that the lap I was sitting on was Marina's. I instantly blush,
"Hey Joe, how are you feeling?" John asks, looking at me and smirking slightly from my blush. I look to Marina, she smiles at me, it looks like she's been crying; her eyes are red and puffy and her cheeks have wiped tear stains. And…
she's holding my hand!
My heart does about fifty somersaults and my chest is filled with warmth. I quickly try to suppress the blush forming and return to John's question,
"Um, uh, what happened?" I say, rubbing my head and standing up shakily, I accidentally let go of Marina's hand while standing and she looks like she's about frown or cry. I quickly retake it and look to the others. Maren is widely smirking,
"Dude, you got your first Legacy!" John says, clapping me on the back, I smile and look to Marina again,
"Well, what is it?" I ask them, Reynolds steps forward, a huge grin I planted on his face,
"It's called Teleportation" he says, grinning wider from my expression,
"Whoa" I say, still in shock, Marina suddenly comes closer next to me and links her arm with mine; holding my hand with both of hers. OK Eight, don't stuff this, don't stuff this. After a few more questions and 'whoas', John and Maren slowly walk away, John giving me a wink and thumbs up; a laugh quietly to myself and face-palm, but instantly regret it because my head is still recovering from my faint.
"I'll be in the car" Reynolds says, walking off, but not before winking and giving me an over the top thumbs up. Oh Lore. I silently chuckle and a silent pause is exchanged between Marina and me.
OK Eight, be cool, don't be weird.
Marina/Seven POV
I'm really, super nervous right now, not only am I holding hands with the guy I have a major crush on, who saved me 3 hours ago, but now we're both alone! I turn to him, he must see the crimson red blush forming in my cheeks. I think I'm shaking from the nerves, I instinctively tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. Marina say something! Don't be weird.
"Um, uh, how are you?" he says, my heart flutters and I think I almost flinch from the over-excitement I'm feeling. I'm still holding onto his hand,
I really hope he asks me out.
"Um, I'm a bit overwhelmed. Um, thank you again for… you know-" before I can finish, Joe hugs me, I think I might have a happiness seizure now. He wraps his arms around my waist, pulling me in close. I wrap my hands around his neck and bury my head in his neck, I feel his strong muscles and love the way his arms wrap around me, I could literally stay here forever.
I'm really tempted to kiss him; it's on the edge of my lips – but what if he doesn't feel the same way? What if he's already dating someone? I silently sob and my heart drops for a second. What if this hug is just a friendly gesture? Would he do this with Maren? I frown at the thought and a flash of jealousy courses through me. I instantly feel guilty after; Maren is my best friend, she's the one trying to get me with Joe, she's done nothing to make me feel jealous. I push my bad thought aside and continue to embrace Joe. After of what seems to be a endless hug he pulls back. I'm disappointed in myself for not having the courage to kiss him yet. Maybe he'll-
"Marina-"
"Yes" I reply, a little to speedily, cutting him off; he smiles. Wow. That smile is amazing – it really suits him, I feel the same tiny zings in my body.
I really hope he asks me out, please, please, please.
"Um, would you consider, ya know, um, I dunno if you'd wanted to, maybe go on a-"
TO BE CONTINUED
Author's Note: NOOOOOO! I'm sorry I had to do that! But the cliffhangers are gonna keep on comin' – (even though this really isn't a cliffhanger) please tell me what you thought and also what POV's you want in the next chapter (I'm doing a Stan/Nine POV also).
Who wrote the message in the Legacy book?
Why doesn't Kate know what the dark sleeve is?
Will Joe have the courage to ask Marina out? or will something else happen? (Mwhaha – evil laugh)
Anyway thanks for reading, please, please, please review! Thanks again to the reviewers of the last chapter and my favourtiers and followers!
Ciao! :D
