Six
(Disclaimer: I do not own any characters or alien races in this story but it would be so cool if I did. They belong to Pittacus Lore or James Frey and Jobie Hughes)
A/N: so thanks to all of my supportive readers and friends who have heard about this, not to mention one very long motivational speech I decided to ignore that review. I mean after all it is just on review and I have lots of other ones reminding me of how great my story is. So thanks for all the support. :)
I clapped my hand over my mouth. I couldn't believe that I had just said 'I love you' to John. He looked at me.
"What?" he asked in a puzzled voice. I breathed out nervously and my hands were shaking.
"I-I Iloveyou." I said so fast that my words all kind of sounded like one.
"I couldn't understand you." John said with a smirk on his face. I gritted my teeth and looked him in the eye.
"I-love-you." I said accenting every word icily while wishing up I could just curl up and die. John smiled. As in an actual smile. And he stepped towards me and cupped my face in his hands and leaned in and kissed me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me, deepening the kiss. I could have stood there kissing John forever but he pulled away after, well I don't know how long. I was breathing raggedly though so I assumed a while.
"I have one question. Why did you suddenly just out of the blue tell me that you loved me?" John asked.
"Well you were standing on the edge of a cliff and I assumed that well, you know…," I said giving him a knowing look, "So I figured I might as well tell you." John laughed.
"Well I'm glad to know that you care that much about me, but I wasn't gonna, you know, jump." He said with a smile. Then he kissed me again. It was just a short little butterfly of a kiss. Sarah, unceremoniously, cleared her throat. John looked at her guiltily.
"Sarah…" He started but she held her hand up.
"It's okay. I knew it would happen eventually. I'm not blind you know." She said.
"I'm sorry I hurt you." He said. Sarah smiled and gave him a hug and kissed him on the cheek.
"It's all right. We can still be friends right." Sarah said. It just happened to be the moment that Sam found us.
"Sorry bro, friend-zoned. Must suck." He said. I punched him in the arm.
"OW! What was that for?" he asked.
"That's for being such an idiot. You just came, you don't even know what happened." I said. John shot me a look that said let's keep it that way. I sighed. Sam was going to figure out that we were dating sooner or later.
"Jo…" I started to say when the ground exploded. I was flung back twenty feet, maybe more. I jumped up to my feet and whipped out the dagger I kept hidden in my back pocket. I saw the Mogs approaching us. There were about twenty or so. I saw Sam laying a few feet away. I ran over to him and picked him up.
"Sam get Sarah out of here. John and I will fight the Mogs. Where is he?" I said. Sam pointed to a shape laying on the ground motionlessly and then ran over to Sarah. He grabbed her hand and sprinted away. I ran towards John. He had been flung back about thirty or forty feet away from the blast. He must have been standing the closest. I shook him and tried to wake him up. I was panicking. The Mogs were getting close.
"John wake up!" I yelled. John slowly opened his eyes. He saw the Mogs and his eyes widened. He stood up as fast as he could and looked around for a weapon. I handed him the dagger. He took and faced the Mogs. The lead one laughed when he saw us. He then signalled for the Mogs to attack us. They rushed at us but I sent a bolt of lightning at them. The one in the front got fried to a crisp and the other Mogs dived to the side. John rushed towards the leader but a Mog stepped in front of him. John thrust the dagger into his chest. The Mog exploded into ash. Three Mogs started heading towards me I fried all of them with lightning. John was being over powered by the Mogs and I started towards him but then another explosion flung me across the cliff. I hit me head on a rock and started to blackout. Just before I passed out I felt some start to drag me away from battled. I struggled feebly but I had no strength left. The last thing I remember before I blacked out was the sound of John crying out.
(Line break)
When I woke up is was in the back of a car. I sat up slowly and groaned loudly. My head felt like someone had taken a sledge hammer to it.
"Don't move. You might have a concussion. You hit your head pretty hard." Sam said.
"I might have a concussion. Of course I have one." I said. I looked at the passenger seat hoping to find John alive and well. Instead I saw Sarah. Her eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying.
"Where is John?" I asked. Sam looked down and Sarah suddenly took a great interest in her shoes.
"Where-Is-John?" I asked. Same took a deep breath.
"Six, listen. I took Sarah back to a safe place and went back to help you. By the time I got back John was surrounded and you were on the verge of unconsciousness. I wanted to save you both…" He started and I felt my heart sinking, "But I could only save one of you and I couldn't really help John so I dragged you away. When I got back John was gone and all that was left was this." He said and handed me my dagger. I sat there in shock.
"No, John can't be gone. This is all a dream. He'll be there when I wake up. He will be. He isn't gone." I said.
"He is." Sam said.
"No he isn't!" I yelled, my voice breaking before I started crying. Sarah climbed into the back and hugged me sympathetically. She knew what I was going through. After all she was still in love with John.
"We will find him Six." Sarah told me, "We just need to figure out a general area to search." I took a deep breath. I knew where the Mogs were keeping John. It was the same place they brought me and Katarina all those years ago.
"I know where to find him." I said weakly.
John
I woke with a pounding headache in a pitch black room. I tried to remember what happened. I remembered kissing Six, apologizing to Sarah, a bomb going off, Mogs and then I was surrounded and I had blacked out. I figured that I must have been captured. I wondered how Six was doing. I hoped that she and Sam would know where to find me. I didn't even know where I was but I knew I had to get out soon. Even if Six hadn't found me in Paradise I would still be dead. I wish I could turn invisible like Six. Then I would have had a chance to escape. I laid down and closed my eyes. Before I knew it I was asleep.
I was woken the next morning by a pair of rough hand grabbing my shirt and lifting me up.
"Time to ask you a few things." A raspy voice said and threw me out of my cell. I stumbled but managed to keep my feet. I held my hand up to my eyes while they adjusted to the light. The Mog led me down hallway after hallway before he shoved me into a room. There was a chair in the middle of the room so I proceeded to sit down in it. A few second later a different Mog came in.
"Tell me Loric," he spat out the word Loric like it was poison, "Where are the rest of you?" he asked. I just sat there looking down at the floor.
"Answer me!" he yelled at me. I spat at his feet. Then the Mog just lost it and punched me in the mouth. I felt my lip split. I took my sleeve and wiped the blood that had dribbled down my chin.
"And if I don't?" I asked. The Mog smiled cruelly.
"Well then you time here just got a lot more painful." He said.
A/N: cliffie! I want to once again say thanks to all of the supporting reviews. It made me feel loads better. I think my decision was rash and I apologize for that. So here is the next chapter. It's a lot sooner than I said but man did I have a lot of ideas! I really hope you liked this. It is longer than the last chapter. Thanks a bunch- Despedida
