A/N: CHAPTER 10 In 5...4...3...2...1...read!
Six POV:
We've stopped and now resting in some abandoned house north of Maine. Turns out we're heading to Canada for a reason I don't know but Five or I should say Camila said she'd tell us at dinner and dinner is now so here we are sitting at the dusty kitchen table we managed to clean. Marina sets the food on the table with the help of Ella.
"So why are we going to Canada?" I ask turning my attention towards Five. We're sitting at a rectangular table so John's at the edge with me on his right next to me Ella sits after that Marina. Across from John is Eight, then Five then Nine leaving an empty chair.
"Well I thought we're going to go pick up that Loric ally." She responds. All of our jaws drop how would she know he's there?
"Before any questions. I'd like to say when I was captive at the base in Washington I heard the Mogs talking about an explosion at the U.S base at New Mexico. The idiots talked in English so I was able to understand. They had some guy in their hands and threw him in the cell I was in. I assumed that he was suppose to go in the cell next to me but they didn't notice I was in the cell since I was quiet and was pretty much sitting in the dark corner." She looks around to see if any of us are following we all nod and she continues.
"The guy was unconscious so I turned my attention back to the guards. One of them said since it won't be hard to find this base they're moving the prisoners and everyone else to a base in Ontario Canada. They finally realized that they left the door still open closed it and walked away."
"That's all?" Eight ask.
"Nope, after about an hour the guy gained consciousness and I helped him sit against a wall. He told me his name was Sam Goode and he knew number four and six." She says stopping looking at John and then me." I wasn't sure if I could trust him so I asked him questions about Lorien he managed to answer four of them right when he collapsed in exhaustion. I knew that if he knew you two." She points at me and John. "Then it means you two have met meaning the charm is broken. I figured if they didn't know now then eventually they would and kill me."
"So basically you were prisoner met Sam, couldn't trust him, broke out and came here to meet us once knowing you could trust the guy you think we should save him?" Nine says simply.
"Well yeah but other reasons too. Once he gained consciousness he told me about his dad. After describing him I know I've seen his dad when they were escorting him to a different cell. So I figured those two know the answer of ending this war along with letting humans die in our war is wrong." She says sounding sensitive yet smart. I find myself jealous of her for i don't know what reason. John speaks up.
"Well then, but I think we all have this question in our heads but when you saw us how'd you know we were Loric?" He ask.
"Simple you could owe it to this guy." She smirks and points at Nine.
"What?" He ask.
"Way to go Nine if she could figure out who we were then almost everyone else can." John says.
"But how did he give us away?" Marina ask clearly confused.
"Well, last time we talked it was with the my globe and whatever you used. As it seems everything that comes out of his mouth has to do with him being awesome so talk about major ego." She says which makes us all laugh except Nine who scowls.
"I'll have you know whatever I say is true." He says grinning but then frowns when he realizes he just proved her point. Along with that we all laughed.
"So then I recognized his cockiness not to mention his voice or the fact that a group of teens are in the park doing nothing but looking around is pretty weird." She says.
"Well that's smart." Eight says.
"Wait, while you were battling I saw you have no scars how come?" Ella says. We all look at Camila this is something all of us need to hear.
"Well I'm wearing shorts and the last thing I need is to let everyone take notice of my scars so I applied cover up." She replies. The guys look at each other in confusion. Us girls roll our eyes even Ella knows what it is.
"It's make up idiots." Marina says. We all laugh. John yawns.
"We should get some sleep." Eight says.
"Who'll watch?" Marina ask rubbing her eyes. We look at each other.
"I will." Camila says.
"Ok then." John says getting up along with the rest of us we had to the 3 empty rooms. John and I in one, Ella, Marina and Eight in the other, and Nine is in the empty one along with Bernie Kosar. I guess when Five wakes one of us up she'll sleep on the couch or take Nine's room is he's on watch.
Five/Mila/Camila POV:
I sit on the steps of the abandoned house and look around. I hear a creak at the door and turn around activating my shield. When I realize it's cocky I deactivate my shield. He grins.
"Mind if I sit?" He ask. Sitting down beside me anyways.
"I don't remember saying no." I say.
"I don't remember you saying yes either." He retorts.
"So what brought you out anyways?" I ask.
"What? Is it illegal for a good looking guy like me to breath some fresh air?". I roll my eyes and arch my eyebrows for an explanation. He sighs.
"Just need to think." He says.
"You can do that?" I add a fake gasp and he grins.
"Yeah along with other things like kicking your a ss in a fight." He says.
"No way you couldn't hurt a fly." I say.
"Nah that's Johnny but this sounds like a challenge." He says.
"Yeah it is." Before he can say anything I fly and land on the roof.
"Objects?" He says from below.
"Nah, let's see what you got without help." I say.
"Oh don't worry I was asking for your benefit not mine." He retorts he gives me a cocky smile before running to the side of the house and up the wall stopping on the roof. Shoot I forgot he had that ability. If I fly any higher people would possibly see me even if we're in the middle of no where but If I fly back down he'll think i'm a chicken. So I guess I go to fight. He notices this too and smirks.
"Tired of running?" He says with his arms crossed and a smirk on his face.
"Always but never tired of punching." I say before he can process what I meant I run up and punch him in the face. He tumbles backwards.
"And I thought Six punches hard." He says while rubbing his jaw.
"Hey, how about we make this interesting?" I say. He stops rubbing his jaw and raises an eyebrow.
"If I win you've got to tell everyone tomorrow morning that I beat your a ss and you begged for mercy." I say knowing he's so cocky I know it'd be too much to admit.
"So lie?" He grins.
"Nah, you're not gonna lie just tell the truth." I reply smoothly.
"I already do, but anyways If I win you've got to give prince charming here a kiss." He says.
"Sounds like a win-win situation to me." I say but blush when I realize what I've said. He grins when he sees my reaction. Way to be stupid. He runs up to me and swings his feet underneath mine. I fall to the floor. Lying there I grab his leg and pull he falls to the ground. I get up and take a a few steps back so I'm out of reach he gets up and charges towards me I give him a kick to the stomach but he dodges grabs my foot and pushes it back making me topple back and fall. He gives out a laugh.
"I thought you'd be harder to beat!" He says in between laugh.
"Oh don't worry I haven't shown anything yet." I say. I charge towards him and do a high kick to his chest dang he got some abs with his weight I manage to throw him back a few steps and fly a little high careful not to fly too high and land behind him. I hook my arm around his and flip him into the ground.
"Good but not good enough!" He gets up and sprints he's a blur I try to trace his movement but he's too fast before I can do anything he kicks me in the shoulder I fall back and he pins me down. I remember Sierra my cepan's words. Never underestimate your enemy. Those words echo my head and I shut my eyes trying to blank out the memory the memory of her being killed. I feel Cocky's hand loosen his grip and sit off to the side.
"Sorry did I stop your circulation or something?" He ask. I'm not really in the mood for joking around I sit up and stare at the trees ahead.
"Hello?" He says waving his hand in front of my face I turn and face him.
"Sorry did I hurt you too bad or something?" He ask scratching the back of his neck.
"What? No it's just something else." I say I float down to ground level and sit on the porch steps like before. I see him walk down the wall and he sits next to me.
"What is it?" He says. I hesitate should I tell him? My mouth acts on it's own.
"My cepan... Sierra." I say he nods in understandmeant. I wonder where his cepan is. Maybe I should know about his before he knows about mine.
"What happen to your cepan?" I say turning my head towards him.
"Just like the rest of us" He says looking down at the floor. Dead, that's what happened his cepan died.
"How?" I ask barely making a sound.
"I was stupid, careless, foolish anything the opposite of right. It was my fault, I lead a Mog to our house. We killed him but I guess that was kind of suspicious. The next thing you know I'm in a cell and they're torturing my cepan Sandor I didn't crack but one day I snapped I broke through the force field that separated us and killed him out of mercy. To end his torture." He says. As I look at him I don't see the cocky smile or expression but an expression of sadness and loneliness.
"Not your fault" I manage to say. He looks up still with sadness in his eyes.
"How so? It's my fault he's dead no matter what I do nothing will change that." He says suddenly he clenches his fist, stands up and chucks a nearby stick so far. Before I can control myself I pull him down and rub his back.
"Shh someone will hear us." I whisper, barley but oh well. He seems to have calmed down and relaxes.
"You should get some sleep." I say.
"You too, we've both been awake for a while." He says.
"I'll wake Johnny you can take the third room I'll take the couch." I realize this is a way of saying thanks I also know that what happened tonight will stay between us even the others won't know. I walk back in he already went to wake up John I sleep on the couch anyways he needs the room way more than me anyways. I close my eyes and lie there for about 5 minutes when I feel something pick me up and I'm being carried I open my eyes just a crack and realize it's Cocky. Maybe there's more to him than I thought I continue to act asleep and he lays me down on the bed and heads towards the door.
"Wait" I say scooting over to one side of the bed. He turns around and raises his eyebrows.
"Room for two?" I say even though I just met him he's different and after tonight it's kind of cruel to let him sleep on the couch. He cocks his head to left trying to decide whether I meant it or not. I give a laugh and he walks over I make some more room.
"Thanks" He mutters.
"No problem" And like that we drift off to sleep with our backs facing each other.
