Chapter 3: Roof time Backstories

Okay guys, backstory time…

Six

I know I shouldn't go out there, I'd want someone to respect my space if that was me out there, but I just can't help it. I walk outside onto the roof.

"Hey, Five?"

She spins around, punches me in the gut, and puts me in a headlock.

"What-" she says surprised, releasing me. "Who are you?"

I realize I didn't introduce myself, "I'm Six, I was the toughest one around… at least until you showed up."

"What can I do for you?"

"I just wanted to know your story."

She sighs but doesn't object.

"I'm not like you guys, I mean, I'm Loric but, you saw me in there I have the strongest Legacies."

She doesn't say it smugly, but as if she doesn't want to be the strongest.

"The thing is," Five continues. "I never had a Cêpan. The first thing I remember here on Earth was me being adopted, by a family. I stayed with them until I was 8, and up to that point I thought that Lorien was just a dream that I had made up. I was in a school and one day as I was walking down the stairs to my next class I heard these voices in my head, they just wouldn't stop. I fell to the floor and curled up into a ball. I tried to tell the family about it but they thought I was just trying to find an excuse to get out of school. There wasn't anything I could do, I figured out that Lorien was real and that I had to keep moving. So the next day I ran away, I guess the family thought that I couldn't get too far, but I made it to Antarctica."

"Why Antarctica?" I press.

"I don't, truthfully. I guess I was just compelled to go there. I spent seven years there where I got the Legacies time manipulation and invincible skin. After that I moved to Argentina after a Mog attack. I was completely off the grid, no one knew where I was. But one day a building collapsed, I thought everyone that survived was safely out of the building. There was a man that was still alive, stuck under a Five-ton slab of concrete, so I lifted it off of him. Unfortunately, it landed me in the newspaper. So, I did the only thing I could, I went on the run, I got to the nearest airport I could and got a flight to Jamaica. I was in the plane's bathroom with my globe on when I got the message that Nine and Four were in the U.S. and that we should all come there. When I got to Jamaica I hopped onto a flight to the U.S. where I was captured by the Mogs and sent to Dulce. When you guys escaped it gave me enough distraction to make my own escape, I was about to leave when I found the three guys that I just brought in. I read their minds and saw that they were on our side and one of them have memories of Four and Six. The Mog had memories of One, so that helped too. The man had memories of Four also."

"How did you find us?"

"The globe I had showed that you were all here."

"If you never had a Cêpan, then how did you get the globe?"

"On the day I came home from school, you know after getting mind control it was lying on the bed."

"Why don't you have a Cêpan?"

"Personally, I think it was to even things out, I never had a Cêpan but my Legacies made up for that. And before you ask your next question, I have the strongest Legacies probably because I am the protector of Pittacus."

"Shouldn't the protector be after the number that is Pittacus?"

She nods and waits for that to sink in.

"John is Pittacus." I gasp. I move to the door the go tell him, but Five holds me back.

"Six, wait! You can't tell John, it will only make things worse."

"Oh, yeah, right, telling one of my best friends that he is the savior of our planet is a horrible idea." I say sarcastically.

"I don't want you to tell him because… I think that Pittacus sacrifices himself to defeat Ra."

"What?!"

"Look from what I know is that Setràkus Ra was one of Lorien's elders, but he became corrupt and turned evil."

"So?"

"So, Setràkus Ra is and elder so that means that one of us will become him. In the end he will have to stop both of them."

"Why should we trust you?" I snarl.

"You guys haven't pieced it together yet? Ella said someone told her to throw that dart at Setràkus Ra. That was me."

Well, that seemed longer when I wrote it. Enjoy. Read and Review.

Flameshark2, out!
