Everything happened at once. I thought for a mere second that I was going to die and everything was going to go black. It was a sad thought to have in my mind, but it was true. I was too young to die, and I had no idea what to do with my life since I wasn't a part of that planet really. But something, no, someone saved my life. I didn't know who did it, or what force did it. But all I saw was light and feeling a bit of force hitting my chest, shoving me against the wall once again. My shoulder was out of its socket so I was already in pain. As soon as the light was there, it was gone and I was in darkness. I fell to my knees and then onto my chest, my head hitting the floor with a slam and everything was going fuzzy in my brain. I was trying to stay awake to see who, or what, did that to the thug who was now gone from sight. But something in my head and something in my stomach was making me want to close my eyes.

"Mary." I heard my name from a distant voice, it sounded so far away and so rushed, but my eyes were wanting to close and fall asleep into bliss and pain. My shoulder was throbbing and my head was in so much pain it was like I was being drilled by a hammer over and over again. I then felt a hand taking my good arm and holding my gently up from the ground. It was all confusing to me, wondering who it was that did that. I mean, now regular human does that, so does that mean...no it can't be.

Can it?

"It's okay, Mary. You're okay now." I heard the voice again. But I knew that voice, that voice made my heart fluter. But it couldn't be him, could it? That was so unreal, it couldn't be him? COuld it? how is that possible? I was about to ask who it was when I ultimately passed out in whomever's arms I was in.

And for the first time in years, I had a nice dream.

I woke up in my bedroom, a brace on my shoulder and arm and my head was heavy. I had to blink a few times in order to get my eyes back to normal and when I did I realize where I was. Oh no, who did I get here from the night before? Does Nico know what happened? Is he going to kill me? I should of died there in the alleyway, hell, I should of gave that guy my money and he would of left me alone. But wait.

He was there.

He saved me, at least I think he did. Did he? That would be impossible. What he did was no human could ever do? But that would mean...that was way out of proportion. I must of slammed my head too hard against the wall and it must of been a dream, but who could it? I heard his voice, it was clear and urgent and crisp. SO it had to be real, it just had to be.

Either I was crazy, or Trevor was like me, a alien. Could it be possible?

Could it?

I heard the door opening and Nico walking in, holding a glass of Orange Juice in his hand and looking rather concerned for me. I was afraid that he knew what happened, with my ability and all, and he was going to kill me there in my bed. BUt the look he was giving me, was like a real father who just saw his daughter get beat up by a mugger. That did happen of course, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Nico was sitting on my bed, handing me the OJ glass and I drank it slowly.

"How do you feel?" He asked me in a soft tone. I shrugged, feeling the stinging pain in my shoulder and arm as I looked down at it,

"I'm fine I guess, I'm just...trying to remember it all." I replied back to him, trying to think of how to hide it from him. But he didn't seem to know, so I was in the clear so far.

"I got a call from the police and they said you were found in a alleyway with a dislocated shoulder and a bruised neck and back. THey told me someone found you, "I looked at him confused when he said that to me, "But they left as soon as they arrived so they couldn't identify him. Mary, do you remember now?"

Of course I remembered, I remembered the bright light and the man being blown away and then hearing a voice, his voice, clear a day in my ear. It was al livid and I knew for certain who he was. But I couldn't tell Nico, I couldn't do that to him just yet. So I just nodded my head and drank the rest of my OJ. Nico sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

"And I wonder why you chose this city to live in." NIco said as he got up from my bed and walked out of my room. As soon as he left my room I took in a deep shaky breathe and ring my fingers through my hair with my good hand. I knew the truth now, but I had to find him and tell him.

I needed to see him.

The next three days were a blur. I couldn't find him at all, even though I had plenty of people stare at me and saw my arm. Rumors spread about the attack, and some it of it was true. But I didn't care about their rumors that were going around, but I was more concerned about him, and finding him.

But he was no where to be found. He didn't show up to school for three days, and that had both myself and Emily concerned for him. I called him so many times that I thought I was going crazy, left him at least 5 voicemails and over fifty texts. But nothing from his end, which made it even worse. I was concerned, what if I'm wrong and I end up looking like a idiot in front of him? But I can't be wrong, not with something like this. I heard his voice, I knew it was him.

He did that.

It wasn't until the third day when I got a knock at the door of my apartment. Nico was out getting groceries and left me alone at the apartment and it was near dark. I got up from my chair to get it when I saw Nora shift in a defensive way towards the door. She never does that normally, so she knew someone was there that could be a threat to me. I cautiously walked over to the door and placed my hand on the handle. Nora crouched down low and I opened the door in a flash. I nearly screamed when I saw him standing there, looking a bit out of his element and a scared look on his face.

Trevor.

He stared at me, as if he was waiting to be in trial and I only stared back, my good hand still holding the door frame and my injured shoulder still in the sling. What was I going to say to him then? Should I be angry with him? Why should I be, he did nothing bur save me.

"Hi." He said in a awkward tone, trying to figure out what to say and how to say it. I wanted to jump in and ask him what was going on. I wanted to take it slow and see how he was feeling, but damnit. I didn't know what I wanted anymore. He looked over at my shoulder and then back at me. Then he walked into the apartment without me saying anything to stop him and I closed the door.

"We need to talk about what happened." Trevor said aloud, but I cut him off and gave him a concerned look.

"Trevor, please tell me that wasn't you that did that." I said in almost a pleading tone. He looked at me straight in the eye, his stance was a bit stiff and I could tell this was real, what he did was real. I then squeezed my eyes shut and covered them with my good hand.

"I wanna explain.." He started but I stopped him once again.

"You did that? With the light and everything? How in the hell is that possible?" I asked him in a shock and he looked rather hurt from my explanation. But I was still in shock with what happened and I saw a flicker or retaliation in his eyes as well.

"What your scream wasn't possible either?" He snapped back at me, making me place my hand over my mouth in shock. He heard my scream, I then knew I was screwed from being exposed. When Trevor saw my action, he instantly soften his face and looked down at the floor. We both were in trouble, it seemed to be. So I had to make it clear in my mind: We both were from Lorien, we both were part of the nine.

"I didn't mean to make it sound like that." Trevor said in almost a sad tone, since I was still in shock from our recent discovery about each other. I stayed very still, wondering what I was going to say to him next. SHould I tell him I was different too, that we came from the same planet and we were both in trouble. It sounded so surreal, so much like a fantasy novel I was reading or like a soap opera.

"So, we're both..." I tried to find the right words, but I was so sure this wasn't real. But he nodded his head, and my own head reeling as I held my head with my good hand.

"Oh god." I said in a groan and I felt like I was about to faint from all of the news. But everything in my line of vision was going sideways with my head going light, and I was feeling like I was about to faint. Trevor immediately walked over to me and placed me back on the couch, his hands on my lower back and elbow. I felt him place me there gently as I tried to remain calm. I never met another Lorien child, so this was beyond normal.

"Wait a minute, how did you find me last night?" I asked him in wonder as he pulled away from me.

"I followed you home." I looked at him in a questioning tone when he said that, "I know that sounds creepy but I couldn't help it. I was concerned about you, walking alone. And then I saw what you did to the creep who tried to rob you. I followed you just to make sure he didn't...you know..."

"But, you heard me?" I asked him in a concerned tone, "You heard my scream?"

"Yeah I did, that's when I realized we were...you know the same." Trevor said to me in almost a exciting tone. I felt a small smile on my face form as he sat down next to me. I had so many question to ask him, if he did indeed live here all his life or like me move around to stay safe and out of the way.

"But, what did you do with the lights?" I asked him, scooting a bit closer to him and he was silent for a moment or too. I hoped he wasn't going to be scared to show me. So I waited patiently for him as he looked down at his hands.

"It's one of my Legacies." He explained to me. So he knew what he was talking about, and the part of me was glad he wasn't pulling my leg anymore. When when he looked back up at me, his eyes were brighter, much brighter. THey were almost white, having his brown eyes gone and not in sight. I was in shock from what I was seeing, and my good hand reached up to trace under his eyes, feeling his soft skin as his bright eyes poured into mine.

"I had no choice, Mary. I didn't want him to touch you, or hurt you." He said to me. His voice was the same, along with his stance on the couch, but the eyes were making him official like me: different. I felt his soft skin under his eyes, which went back to normal, making me take my breath away on how amazing it was. I found it quite remarkable, not freakish like any other person would: but simply extraordinary.

"How is it that we didn't know about each other?" I asked him in curiosity. He was silent once more for a mere second or two. I could tell he was going to tell me new information, this whole day, hell this whole past day ro two was new to me that I thought I was going to.

"My second Legacy, is more of a mental thing." He explained to me and I thought of how that would be, "You see and I only got this after I met you, but I can listen to certain people's minds and thoughts." Now that one threw me for a loop. Being able to read minds? Like Professor X from X-Men? That sounded too unreal for my liking.

"I can choose which mind to listen to, but it's weird. Whenever I'm around you, I read your mind whether or not I want to." He explained to me in more of a unusual tone. It shrugged from that notion.

"It might be something we share, like...I dunno." I replied back to him, like it was a normal conversation between two normal beings. Both we weren't normal, we were aliens. Trevor then smiled slightly for the first time in the whole ordeal, and I could feel that smile, as odd as it sounded, going through me like wildfire.

"I knew you were different, when you first walked into that record store. Didn't you feel it, when we looked at each other for the first time?" He asked me, curious and wondering about my thoughts. I knew there was something about him when I first laid eyes on him. I felt warmth all over, electricity under my skin, energy in my stomach and something more soothing, was it love? I smiled slightly, thinking about it and nodding my head.

"I felt it too." I said to him almost a lighter tone than usual. He smiled widely and gently took my hand in his. It was like we were meeting all over again, but this time we knew who the other was and how we felt towards one another. I wanted to kiss him, but that moment must not be the right time for it. But as I was thinking about it, I heard another voice in the back of my head, something I thought I would never hear: his voice.

can you hear me? I heard his tone of voice in the back of my head. I was shocked them, nodding my head and letting out a small laugh from hearing his voice. He laughed a bit as well, making me ask him.

"How did you do that?" I asked him in wonder. He shrugged and I smield widely.H

"Why is it that I never heard your voice before in my head, not that it's normal and all." I said to him, and I could see he thought about it some more.

"I didn't want to hear your voice." I raised a eyebrow at him, "I mean, I already hear people's thoughts, but when I'm with you, I feel I don't need to hear your thoughts to know what you're going to say. There was no need because I liked to hear what you say instead of what you think." It made my heart flutter a bit more and my hands shake from anticipation. He found more appropriate to not pry into my brain, something I found genuinely nice and amazing about him. I was falling for him even more now, and Nico's explanation about the love the Loreins had for the other made sense now.

We were connected then. He protected me and I protected him, we had each other then as I said the next thing to him.

"I'm Number Five." I said in a low tone, seeing a small smile on his face and a small feeling of acceptance between the two of us. He held my hand in his, feeling his callused hand in mine and I felt a wave of love towards him.

"I am Number 8."

Author's Note: Yep I made him Number 8! I hope you guys like it! :) Leave me a review and let me know how I am doing :)
