Really, I don't own anything. If I was, I would make Marina and Eight canon ;)


15. Silence

'People say things that bring you to your knees, I'll catch you'

Silence can be a positive thing, you know?

We don't have to talk to each other, because we understand each other even without words.

I love talking to Marina, but sometimes I'm just happy to look at her.

I can tell when she needs to be alone, when she's happy, sad, scared, and even when she seems to be happy but isn't.

I love the way she takes my hand and we sneak out of the house, walks with me without saying a word.

I mean, of course, we talk but it's a little different.

When I'm not talking to her or walking with her, I'm trying to let her know that what I feel is true.

But today, I'm sad. But what am I suppose to do? Go to her and say "I'm sad"?

*Marina's pov*

Something is wrong with Eight today. He seems happy but it's not him; I don't know what happened, but I know I need to talk to him.

I can't find him anywhere; I check in the living room, the Lecture Hall and anywhere else Eight might be in. I knock on his door; "Eight?" I say.

He doesn't answer so I add "Are you there? I can go if you want."

He opens the door and walks away into the room.

"What's wrong?" I ask, "You're acting weird today," I say softly.

He doesn't answer, so I step close to him and hug him. "It's okay to be sad, Eight," I whisper.

"I know."


16. Questioning

'She is the best thing that's ever been mine'

I watch Marina falls on the couch next to me; she looks at the city from the big glass window then looks at me.

I'm about to ask what happened, but she talks before I can. "You know, I've been thinking about something, I don't know a lot about you." She says.

"What do you want to know?" I ask. The sunlight makes her eyes shine, like starts in a blue ocean.

"What were you and Reynolds doing before you got to India?" She asks quietly, like she's afraid to mention him and hurt me.

"We traveled around Asia, and then Reynolds said we should go to India."

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen," I answer. "And you?"

"Seventeen, too," She smiles. "Which Legacy do you love the most?"

"I don't want to insult the other Legacies," I joke, "But Teleportation"

She giggles in response to my bad joke. "Mine is Healing, I love the underwater breathing Legacy, too"

"What's your favorite color?"

"Blue. Like the ocean. The kind of blue on the lake we walked by is also beautiful."

"Mine is green, like the nature." I say "The trees in India are prettier…" I whisper.

Marina puts her hand on mine. "I bet you want to go back, huh? It was a big part of you…" Her voice sounds so sad and it breaks my heart.

"Hey do you want to go to a walk?" I smile and get up from the soft couch.

"Nine will kill us," She looks at me, "And you know it."

"I don't care," I offer my hand to her, "Do you?" I smile in the best way I can.

"No," She says and takes my hand, "Let's go."

We run to the elevator and giggle quietly; I wrap my arm around hers as we get in.

Nine is going to kill me for good, but it's worth it.


17. Blood

'Do you believe it? We're gonna make it now. I can see it I can see it now'

Eight ran to his daughter's room as soon as he heard her crying.

With a horror look on his face he entered the room and said "what happened? Are you alright?"

The little girl looked at him, her green eyes were red. "No! I cut my finger!" Tears started to fall down her cheeks.

"Oh come on," He sighed and walked into the room "Don't cry sweetheart, mommy will heal you," He smiled sweetly at his daughter as he kneeled down next to her.

"R-really?" The girl wiped her wet face, "Can mommy do it?" She asked innocently.

"Sure she can," Eight smiled and the girl calmed down. "Let's find her," He lifted his 7 years old girl in his hands and they walked out of the room.


18. Rainbow

'The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm and I'm a house of cards'

"Marina! Come and see something!" I hear Eight calls in excitement.

"What is it?" I ask as I get up from the couch.

My naked feet are touching the cold floor and I rub my hands; the pink sweater keeps me warm. I like the way it fits with my brown hair.

I get to the window next to Eight and see what he talked about; There's a big colorful rainbow in the sky.

"Beautiful isn't it?" I ask. Eight looks so cute, like it's the first time he sees one.

"The colors are breathtaking," He breathes. "You don't see any rainbows in a monsoon storm, I saw one when I was young." He says, like he just read my mind.

"Look! There's another one!" I say, and point at the sky.

"You know, I once heard that rainbows represent good luck." He looks at me, the rainbow is nothing comparing to his green eyes.

"Really?" I smile, "I hope it's true, a little good luck won't hurt."
