To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about sharing a little house with Nine. Sure John and Sam will be there too, but they won't be able to stop Nine from killing, or maiming me, but then, of course, Marina would just heal me.
"You're telling me we can't see them?" Nine shouts. I snap to attention, I hadn't even realized there were other people in the living room. Nine is shouting at a government agent, very official looking. John and Sam watch this scene with tired eyes, no one has been able to sleep for the past few days.
The girls, (Six, Marina, Ella, April, Arabella) are sharing another cabin, the human garde are divided into different cabins too, we're under strict orders not to leave our cabin. They're not really cabins, more like miniature apartments in a government unit.
"Unfortunately, yes. We don't want you to leave, you'll be able to see your friends soon. There's food in the fridge. Your training starts tomorrow. That's pretty much all you need to know." The government agent finishes, glancing apologetically at me.
"But-" Nine is interrupted by John, who glances disapprovingly at Nine.
"Thank you," John cuts in. The man nods, spins on his heel and hurries down the hall, probably intimidated by Nine.
The door slams closed. I hear a click.
"Wait. What was that?" I question, Sam shrugs.
"Was that a lock?" Nine says. I widen my eyes and stare at the door.
"Why would they lock it if they know we could easily break, burn, or explode the door?" Sam says, I can practically see the wheels in his brain turning.
Nine rushes to the door and turns the knob, it doesn't open.
"Lets not break down the door," John says. "Nine, I'm talking to you." John says, stabbing a finger in Nine's direction.
"Fine," Nine replies. His eyes linger on the door for a second, then he walks away.
"I'm going to try to sleep." Sam says.
"Wait! There's only three rooms, and there's four of us." I say.
"Two people have to share." John says. I'm definitely not sharing a room with anyone.
"Not it!" We all yell at the exact same time.
Sam looks at each of us, then dashes out of the room and down the hall. I follow closely behind. John catches on and trails behind.
"Hey! Unfair!" Sam reaches one of the single bedroom's first, he closes the door and locks it. I dash into the second single room, there's only a two-person room left for John and Nine, I guess they'll be sharing.
"What! No!" Nine whines. I smile, revenge is sweet.

Six
Marina and Ella had to share a room. They were happy to do it, if Ella has any more nightmares Marina will be there for her. I imagine the boys would've had a much harder time choosing who should share a bedroom. I smile at the thought.
I stand up and walk over to the fridge. I haven't had the luxury of eating home-cooked meals since we stayed in Nine's penthouse, and it feels great.
The fridge is like a blurry mirror, if you stand in front of it, you can make out you're figure, but can't make out faces. I open the fridge and take out a bottle of water, then I close the door of the fridge. I gasp and jump back, my hands clench into fists. A figure stands behind me, I can see their reflection in the door.
I spin around and throw a rabbit punch, but I don't see anybody behind me. Suddenly, the person pops up in front of me.
"Oh!" I shout, feeling dumb when I see it was just April.
"Jesus, April. You scared the crap out of me," I say. April blushes.
"Sorry, I just wanted some water too." She replies, smiling at me. She reaches past me and pulls out a bottled water.
I walk away.
"Wait! Do you have a minute?" April asks me, her eyes are wide and she seems upset over something.
"Sure," I reply. April motions to the couch, I sit down, she sits next to me.
"It's about John," April says, biting her lip. "Be honest. Do you think that John… likes me?" She questions. I raise my eyebrows.
"Um, you've kissed twice, plus you're always together. So yeah I think he does." I reply, the answer seems obvious to me, but she still seems unsure.
"No. I mean are we, boyfriend and girlfriend, is he my boyfriend? Am I his-" I interrupt April politely, grabbing her hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"I get it. You're too nervous to talk to him about it, but don't be nervous around me. And yes, you are together. But, he's still hurting from Sarah's death, it happened less than a month ago." I reply, hoping im actually giving helpful advice.
"Thanks, and I know. I can't wait to see them." April says, her face lighting up.
"Me too." I reply. April gives me a little wave then walks away, she seems much lighter.
How are you guys? A voice asks me. I gasp, then realize it must be John talking telepathically. Wow, I'm really jumpy today.
Fine. How about you?
Good. I got stuck sharing a room with Nine, ugh! John replies, I picture the two of them fighting over clothes and belongings, the thought make me laugh.
I really miss you guys.
Yeah, I want to see you.
Want some advice? I've decided to play a little matchmaker with John and April.
Sure.
Make sure April knows you like her, and that you want to be a couple.
Huh?
Just trust me.
Alright.
Make sure Nine behaves.
I will, stay safe.
You too.
I feel the connection between John and I break. I feel happier than I have in days. A frightening thought occurs to me, do I still have feeling for John?

Setrakus Ra
"Beloved leader," A voice snaps Setrakus out of his near-stupor. He turns around and lays eyes on a lowly mogadorian, a faithful servant. "We have located the garde."
Setrakus smiles at his sudden victory.
"Where are they?" Setrakus asks, turning away from the servant and back to the window of his warship.
"With the government, beloved leader. Planning to attack." The mogadorian replies, his voice shakes slightly, he has never been in the presence of beloved leader, he is nervous.
"Ah, that's how they are going to be." Setrakus says. A wide sadistic grin spreads across his face. Setrakus strokes his chin thoughtfully, then turns to the mogadorian.
"What would you like to do, attack?" The mogadorian says. The nervous mogadorian then quietly adds, "beloved leader," to his last statement.
"No, let them linger. The time will come. But, for now, lead me to the prisoners." Setrakus says, taking a step forwards.
"Which prisoners, sir?" The lowly mogadorian replies. Setrakus sighs.
"The human and the loric. Mark James and Lexa."
Ooh! So now Mark and Lexa are captured!
