40. Rated
Nine's house is incredible, I still amazed by it; the shower has a hot towels when you come out, the living room is nice and soft, the bedroom is comfortable, the kitchen is awesome, of course, and the view from the balcony is breathtaking.
I hear a running voice coming from one of the rooms. "I smell something good! I smell something good!" I hear a voice and realize that is Eight.
As soon as Eight gets to the kitchen I turn around and see him grinning. I laugh, thinking that he could just teleport to here.
"Yeah," I giggle, "I'm making pasta for dinner."
"It looks so delicious! Marina, you're our savior, you're the only one who knows how to cook so well. I want to eat the pasta already!" Eight sighs and looks at me.
"Sorry, Eight, you'll have to wait until dinner," I smile. "And thank you, I'm glad you guys like what I cook."
"So let me help you, what can I do?" Eight asks me as I pour hot water to the pot.
"You can cut the vegetables if you want to."
After a moment of Eight cutting the vegetables and me making the sauce, Eight says, "I had really fun yesterday at the zoo, I'm happy Nine convinced Ella to go out a little." He takes a piece of a red bell pepper and shoves it into his mouth.
"She seemed to having so much fun, the animals were so adorable."
Eight smiles to himself and I wonder what he's thinking.
"I would rate this day 11 out of 10." He says, his charming smile makes me melt and I grin back.
41. Teamwork
'I do it all because I love you, I love you!'
"So, the game is pretty easy, pair against pair, the first pair who gets shot five times- loses." Nine says and hands each one of us a gun. "Don't worry; nothing will happen if you get shot, also, Eight, you can't teleport behind someone and shot, Marina, you can't freeze us."
Eight groans and rolls his eyes. "You take our best Legacies!" He leans on my shoulder and says, "He's jealous." I giggle in respond.
Nine just ignores Eight. "So let's check your other Legacies; John and Six against Eight and Marina!" He calls out.
Eight and I looks and each other and smile, "Cool." I say and give Eight a high five.
We walk toward the middle of the Lecture Hall and stand in front of Six and John. As Malcolm shout asking if we're ready, sections of the floor begin to rise and Eight and I take cover behind a block and plan what we're going to do.
"Just try to shot them, think like we're practicing, okay?" Eight smiles at me.
"Okay, tell me if you need me to heal you," I say and Eight nods.
"Ready!" John's yelling from the other side and I run to take cover. "Good luck." I say with no voice to Eight.
Xxx
Things are happening so fast I can't follow; if one of us will get shot, we'll lose. The situation is the same with John and Six.
As I shot at Six, I feel John's fire beside me and Eight groans. He almost falls to the floor, holding his arm with his hand.
I manage to look at him for a second before he teleports away; I find him leans against one of the blocks.
"Eight! Eight, what happened?" I ask in panic, study him in horror.
In respond, Eight just sits- or fall- to the floor and cries out in pain. I knee down next to him; Eight's left arm is burning red, I can feel heat waves coming from it. I try not to gasp or make anything that will make Eight freak out, he's already shocked.
Eight makes a fist out of his healthy hand and slams it on the floor, sweat is streaming down his forehead.
I move in front of him and make him look at me. His reaction gets soft when I place my hands on his cheeks and gently rub them.
"Sorry, it just... it really hurts." Eight smiles sheepishly.
"I know. I'm going to tell the others I need to heal you and we'll be back in a minute." I get up and hold out my hands to Eight.
"What? No, Marina-" Eight starts to say but I cut him off.
"I'm not asking." I lean down a little and wrap my hand beneath Eight's armpit and around his back; he sighs and I pull us up.
I tell everyone that everything is okay and we'll be in the kitchen. "You don't need to come; we'll be back in no time."
Eight takes his sit around the kitchen table and I pull up his shirt's short sleeve. "Oh my Lorien, even your shoulder got burned." I say hopelessly.
"I can't believe at Four, this was my good arm!" Eight calls out in humor.
"Was?" I giggle, "You already gave up on it?" I add and Eight smile his charming smile. "But Eight, I'm serious now, I need to heal you." I rise my hand and feel the cold feeling of my Legacy in my finger as I lean in, almost touching Eight's arm. "Tell me to stop if it hurts badly."
"Okay." Eight says and I touch in the most gently way I can; I look at Eight, who doesn't make any hurtful reaction, so I go further, placing almost my whole hand on his arm. I feel my iciness coming out from my hand to Eight's, within a few seconds the redness fades away and Eight's arm gets its previous beautiful bronze color.
"Thank you," Eight says and get up from the chair, walking to the Lecture Hall. "Are you coming, Marina?" He turns around to me, smiling. I nod and run to him. "You're welcome."
