Who thought I was Pittacus, guys? I don't own anything :D
8. Innocence
'Someday I will be strong enough to lift not one but both of us'
I stroke Ella's hair as we watch a show in the TV. We trained hard today, Ella became much stronger, and I'm so glad to see her smiles when everyone tells her how amazing she was today.
I feel Ella's head falling against my shoulder and I realize she fell asleep; after a few moments I'm standing to lift her up, and I see Eight coming from the hallway.
"Hey Marina-" He calls, but I shush him.
"Ella is sleeping." I say
"Oh, sorry," He says and I make my way from the living room. "Let me help you," He takes Ella from me before I pass him.
"Thanks," I say and feel my cheeks getting red.
After laying down Ella on the bed, I sit on one side of the bed, and Eight sits on the other one.
"I'm very proud of Ella," Eight says quietly, "She's so young, but so strong."
"Yeah," I sigh, "This war is horrible. None of us need to suffer because of it. I bet it's hard to her, she doesn't know what is about to happen," I look at Ella and stroking her hand gently.
"It's hard to all of us," he whispers and I look up to him. He looks sad, maybe he's thinking about Reynolds.
It's hard for me to see Eight like this, so quiet and sad… He always funny and playful and charming.
I bring my hand to his cheek and he looks up, right to me eyes. His eyes looks like someone took all their light and it breaks my heart.
Leaning in, I'm giving Eight a gentle sweet kiss on the lips.
"I can't see you like that," I say after breaking the kiss. "Please don't be sad."
9. Drive
'This is falling in love in the cruelest way, this is falling for you and you are worlds away.'
There are so many thoughts running in my head right now;
We had a battle against Setrakus Ra,
We almost lost,
I almost died,
Marina saved my life, broke the prophecy, and kissed me.
I think about the last one the most, but I need to calm down. I'm sitting next to Nine, in the front sit of a car we stole; I feel like I'm about to explode. Taking a deep breath, I let the wind blow my hair and I relax.
Why did Marina kiss me? Does she love me? I'm so confused;
But there's a bigger question I need to ask myself.
Do I love her?
I look at Marina in the mirror, her brown hair is beautiful, her amazing blue eyes meet mine and I smile. I found my answer.
I do. I do love her.
I love you, Marina.
10. Breathe Again
'People ask me how I've been, as I comb back through my memory'
I've been waiting for this moment so long. Eight is finally back.
The days without Eight were painful;
When we met John, Sarah, Sam, Malcolm and a Mogadorian guy named Adam, John asked where is Eight, I started crying and John was shocked.
"No…" He whispered, "Not Eight, it can't be Eight."
I fell to the cold ground on my knees and screamed, the tears kept coming and I started to break apart.
I loved him so much, I thought.
No. I have never stopped loving him.
I love him.
The two weeks since then were the same; I wiped tears from my eyes and cheeks at night because I couldn't cry in front of everyone.
I had nightmares, I didn't eat or drink for a day, and I didn't smile. I couldn't smile. Now, it's just a bad memory.
"You have to get over it, Marina. I'm worried about you." Six told me.
"But I don't want to get over it. I want Eight."
I just wanted him so much. I wanted the boy with the amazing green eyes that makes me smile from happiness. I wanted the boy that was my first kiss. The boy who looks like an angel underwater. The boy that promised me more days and left.
One day, Eight's scar disappeared. We found Ella a few days before it happened.
After an hour, Adam ran to me;
"Marina! Marina!" He called, "Ella said Eight talked to her!"
That was the first time I smiled. I ran to Ella and fell on my knees next to her.
"Ella! Did you talk to Eight? Is he alright?" I asked, I had to know.
"He said he's in a Mogadorian base and he's trying to get out" Ella answered.
On the next day, we found Eight. Adam says he saw this base before. I can't start describe the relief and happiness I felt.
Eight is here.
And I can finally breathe again.
oh my god guys thank you so much for the reviews!
