A/N: Oh goodness, all of you must hate me. It's been months since I've put up a new chapter. Heh, sorry about that everyone. Anyways I'm here for the time being. I've finished editing all the other chapters so now they're a bit better in my opinion. I added a few things here and there, stuck in more detail, etc. But I'm actually I'm really surprised cause when I checked the stats on here, an average of like 15 people were reading this story…I was surprised to be honest.
I have read The Rise of Nine (and Power of Six) and realized how off this is but I like what I've got so far. But I'll stop rambling and get on to the new chapter. Changing it back to Four's POV for…reasons. You'll find out.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Lorien Legacies or the movie I Am Number Four…although if I did that would be totally awesome
Everything was ready for us to head out. We had tickets to take a plan out over to Spain, our few belongings were packed and now all we had to do was head to the airport. It was early morning but none of were exactly ready to go yet. Our desire to leave the safe small town was not great at all. We had until the evening to get out of here and we planned on staying here for as long as we could. I watched Six pulled her hair back into a ponytail and pulled her jacket one. Sam, Six, Five, and I decided to go for a walk while Dave hung back to finish up everything.
Five and Sam were talking and I smiled at the sight of the two of them. Maybe something would happen between them. Sam deserved to be happy. Six walked up to me and grinned. "Ready to go?" She asked, rocking back and forth on her heels. She seemed to have loosened up a bit during our stay here but I knew that would disappear as soon as we walked into the airport. I nodded.
"Yeah, let's get going. We don't have too much longer here left." I said. Sam seemed to have heard us and walked over to us with Five. They both smiled. I took that as a yes and offered Six my arm as we took off. She held on gently. We didn't really have a certain place where we wanted to go so we just kept walking around.
We had found a small little restaurant tucked away at the end of a street and we decided to eat there. It seemed friendly enough. There weren't too many people inside and we were told to find a seat anywhere by a man behind the counter. Six slid into a both and I sat next to her. Sam and Five sat across from us. Of course Six had wanted to sit facing the door way. I didn't blame her.
"So what's everyone in the mood for?" Sam asked, flipping through a menu. Five was looking over his shoulder. Six just simply shrugged.
"I want something warm, like a soup." I said before glancing out the window. For some reason something seemed to be off and I was on edge. I didn't know why and it was bothering me. I wasn't able to focus on the other three sitting with me. It seemed like Six was that way too; she wasn't saying much and she was watching the window and door. A waiter came over to the table and I have listened to what everyone ordered. I mumbled my order of chowder and the waiter smiled at all before disappearing back into the kitchen. The door opened and closed, the jingling of the bell catching my attention. Both Six and I looked up to see who had walked through and I nearly froze. My stomach nearly did a flip and I blinked. Right there on the other side of the small restaurant stood Sarah with her family. Feeling Six nudge my ribs, I looked at her. "What?" I muttered.
"Don't do anything stupid, okay? I don't want to attract attention." I wasn't able to reply to her before I heard a gasp and the click of her shoes make her way over to our table. I looked at her and a small smile spread across my lips. So much for letting go of my feelings for her now.
"John! It really is you!" Sarah said excitedly, throwing her bag over her shoulder. It took her a moment for her to notice Sam and Six, both of which she said a hello to.
"Sarah, it's good to see you." I managed to say. It had been the first thing that had came to my mind. The bright look on her face didn't go away and it kind of rubbed off on me. I was smiling like an idiot. I slid out of the booth so I was standing beside her. Gently taking her hand, I pulled her into a booth away from everyone else. "I didn't think I was ever going to see you again."
"Neither did I. Oh John, it's been awhile." She was still holding on to my hand as she spoke. I missed what it was like to be so close to her and the sound of her perfect voice. But in the same moment, I had to stop myself from looking over my shoulder to look at Six. "What have you been up to lately? I know you guys have been busy with all your stuff but have you had a free moment to yourself?" I had to think for a second before answering. It wasn't often we had a free moment.
"Not much. Six and I went out to dinner earlier last week." I said, not realizing I had until it came out. I saw the flash of jealously cross her face as I mentioned Six. But as far as I knew, Sarah still had a boyfriend and had no reason to get jealous. The two of us went back and forth with each other. It was nice to catch up with her. It felt like forever when I heard the door jingle open and closed again. I didn't really bother to look up this time. But within seconds Six was standing by our booth with a serious look on her face. Sarah made a slight face and I was confused.
"We need to leave now." she said under her breath, barely motioning to the two people who had just walked into the restaurant. I looked over to them and cursed quietly. Of course. When everything seemed fine and under control, a pair of Mogs show up. Five and Sam had already made their way over to us and the both of them looked so freaked out. I glanced at Sarah. Great, just great. Hey hadn't seemed to have spotted us yet and we took that opportunity to make our way out of the restaurant. Sarah grabbed my arm as I stood up and I turned to face her.
"What about me and my family?" she asked in a quiet voice. She knew better that to speak up and cause the attention to fall on us. With a soft sigh, I had on to her as he tried to make our way to the back. It probably would have worked but someone had dropped their plate and the Mogs looked straight at us. We were screwed now. Big time. Glancing quickly at Six, I saw her say something to the other two and them running off towards the front door. I pushed Sarah into the back room and looked at her.
"Stay here. And don't come out until everything has blown over." I told her. She nodded quickly but I had a feeling she wasn't going to stay there.
