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)
I ran through the country side, invisible, with a big hole in my chest. It felt like my heart had been ripped out and shredded into a million pieces and then run over by a truck. It wasn't fair. For the first time in three years, since Katarina died, I was happy. Truly happy. And then not a minute later it was torn away from me. I cursed the Elders if Lorien or whoever decided my fate for being so cruel and unfair. John was still happy. He had no idea who I was and he remembered nothing about me. He had Sarah. And I knew that even though Sarah was okay with us dating she was still in love with him. And now that he was in love with her, again, they would probably get back together.
I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't realize where I was running until I ended up knee deep in water. I was in a river in a forest and I had no idea how I got there. I walked back onto the river bank and sat down.
As I sat down staring at the river my vision started to get blurry. I wiped a finger across my eye and it came away wet. I was crying. I hadn't cried since Katarina died. It was weird to think that one person could make me so vulnerable. Even when Bradley and I ended I didn't cry. It hurt a little, sure but I certainly never cried over him.
"SIX!" I heard Sam yell, his voice filled with worry. I looked over to where I heard his voice. I saw him, Nine, Sarah, and John all looking for me in a group. My eyes stayed fixed on John longer then they should have.
"SIX!" Sam yelled again. I knew I would have to go back sooner or later so I took a deep breath, wiped away my tears, and pushed away whatever sorrow I was feeling and slowly made my way over to them. I stood right in front of Sam but he didn't notice me. Of course, I'm invisible I thought to myself.
"I don't think she's here guys. Let's head back to the truck." Sam said dejectedly. He turned around and was facing me when I turned visible again. He screamed like a little girl and I started laughing really hard.
"Six…don't…do that…again." Sam said while catching his breath.
"But it's so fun." I said with a big smile on my face. Then I looks at John and Sarah. John's arm had snaked around Sarah's waist and Sarah was leaning on him. I felt my smile falter and I turned back to Sam.
"Let's go back. We need to head to Europe. I think there might be some Garde there." I said. Sam nodded and started heading back towards the truck. I fell in the back of the group keeping an eye out behind us. I saw John look at me and then whisper something to Sarah. She nodded and whispered something back to him. The John slowed down until he was standing next to me.
"Can we talk?" he asked. Talking to him was the last thing I wanted to do but I knew John and he wouldn't give up until he had told me whatever he had wanted to say.
"Okay." I said, trying to make my voice sound normal.
"I don't know who you are, how we met, why I'm important to you, or anything about you, but I know I hut you and I'm sorry. I really am." He said. I didn't want to hear anymore. I just wanted to run up to the front of the group and stand next to Sam. But John wasn't finished.
"I was hoping maybe we could start over. Be friends and see if that works out. Start over with a clean slate and forget whatever happened between us. Well, um, I already have forgotten everything that ever happened between us but could we still start over?" He asked. I looked at him. We had come to a complete stop. Everyone else was far ahead of us.
"I, I can't. I'm sorry but it's too painful." I said and started walking away from us. He grabbed my hand and looked at me.
"Please?" he begged. I looked back at him. He looked so torn up about it even though he didn't remember me. He was still holding my hand and it was sending shivers up my spine. He seemed to notice as well and quickly dropped my hand. He shoved his hands into his jacket pockets and looked down at his feet.
"You really don't remember a thing?" I asked. He nodded his head.
"Really. Not a thing." He said and then started to walk back towards the truck. I followed after and after a few minutes we saw Sam and the others.
"Where have you guys been?" Sam asked.
"I left something back at the river and John helped me find it." I said.
"Okay well we should go to the airport. We need to go to Europe to…" Sam started.
"Try and find the Garde that Six thinks might be hidden there." John finished.
"How do you know that?" I asked.
"I don't know. I just remembered." He replied and hope filled up in my chest. Maybe he would get his memory back after all.
(Line Break)
We touched down in Spain, where there was a red dot pinpointing to the mountains, we tried to figure out a way to get there.
"The fastest way will take us a few hours but we will be more noticeable. We could take the longer route. But it would take a few weeks." Nine said.
"Take the shortest way. We don't know if the Garde will be in trouble or not. But I'm willing to take our chances." John said. It had been almost a day since he had remembered about our conversation in Cleveland. He hadn't remembered anything else so far but I wasn't about to give up hope.
"I have to agree with John." I said. "If the Garde is in trouble we need to get there as fast as we can."
"I agree with John as well." Sam said. Nine groaned.
"Sarah would have agreed with me." Nine said. Sarah had taken a flight back to Ohio after John convinced her,
"Not likely. She always agrees with me." John said.
"Well you put yourself on a high pedestal, don't you?" Nine asked.
"Everyone knows that I'm better that you." John said. This had become a habit in the long flight to Spain. John and Nine were always getting into verbal arguments about who was better.
"Stop, we need to find this Garde and fast. I have a feeling she is going to need our help soon." I said and they shut up immediately.
A few hours later we were in a small town hidden away in the mountains. The town was in an uproar and it wasn't hard to see why. A few miles away there were Mogs and Piken everywhere.
"Over there!" I yelled and all of us sprinted towards the Mogs. When we reached them there were four people on the lake shore. Three were standing and one was crumpled on the ground. I summoned a huge thunder storm and sent a whole lot of lightning at the Mogs. But I was worn out and I couldn't keep it up for too long. The thunder storm slowly dissipated and I hunched over. I felt a pair of hands pull me up. I looked up and saw John.
"You need to rest. I'll take care of the Mogs." He said and the sprinted towards the Mogs. I wanted to yell at him to come back but then two giant bolts of lightning shot out of his hand, incinerating most of the Mogs. I sat there in awe wondering when he developed his new Legacy. Within minutes all of the Mogs and Piken were dead or fleeing. I rushed over to the people on the lake shore.
"Are you all right?" I asked them.
"Yes. Who are you? My name is Marina but I'm Number Seven." The oldest girl asked.
"I'm Six." I said.
"That is Clayton and Ella. She is Number Ten." Marina said pointing to each of them in turn. I felt my jaw fall open. The Clayton explained how Ella was on a second ship and the said he knew where all of our Chimæras were. Then John and Nine came down along with Sam.
"Six we need to go. Eight is in India. I'm pretty sure the Mogs know where he is. He is literally a god on Earth for the people in India." John said.
"How do you know?" I asked.
"He's all over the international news." John replied. That wasn't good.
"Okay. Let's go. Nine come on! We are going to India!" I yelled.
A/N: I hope you liked it. I should have the next chapter up soon. I need you help though. I need ideas on how John will get his memory back. I do have one or two already but I was hoping that I could have some more. I would really appreciate it. And don't worry Six will get her happy ending. ~Despedida~
