We woke up early in the morning, seeing the fog still over the golden gate bridge and no cars going on it back or forth. We were going to drive Sam's truck over the bridge Number Six's cycle in the bed and trying to act as normal as we could. John found that there as a notice out for us, since people thought we started the apartment fires. Not only were we going to be hunted down because we were aliens, but now we were going to be hunted down by police. John and Number Six had to think of a new plan, and he knew what to do.

I stood by Trevor near the truck as Number Six, Sam and John were in the truck, talking over the plan with each other before they told us. Trevor and I were watching the bridge carefully just to make sure nothing serious was going to happen. We saw at least three cop cars blocking the bridge so that we weren't going to cross, seeing their siren lights out and whirling around. But then I saw something catch Trevor's eyes. He looked determined and a bit scared at the same time. I grabbed his arm, trying tog et his attention.

"Trevor?" I asked him aloud, but he still sticked to one spot on the bridge. I looked over as well to see what he was looking at. I then saw it, a flash of blue light which made me shake visibly in my spot. I saw another one, and a piercing scream and gunfire. Trevor looked away and banged his fist on the truck hood, getting the attention of the other three. They piled out and watched as we did as well, seeing that something or someone was attacking the police. It hit me, hard in the stomach:

Modadorian

They were killing the police to get to us and I grabbed Trevor's hand tightly, thinking of how we were going to cross now that they knew that we were close. Could they pick up on our scents? I looked over at John to see if he knew what we were going to do.

"We need to cross, and not get caught by them." John said aloud as I looked from him to Number Six.

"How many do you think are out there?" Number six asked him in her determined tone of voice.

"There has to be about ten, fifteen. They knew there are four Lorien children, and the more Modadorians the easier the kill." He replied back, making me close my eyes for a mere moment and know that we could die there.

No longer could, we were going to die.


Ten minutes later there was silence on the bridge as we drove slowly onto the bridge, feeling nothing but the bitter cold of the morning and hearing nothing but the cool wind coming through from the sea. I changed into new clothes, Trevor as well, some clothes Sam got for us from the goodwill. I wore blue jeans, converse shoes, a grey shirt and a plaid shirt to go over. Trevor was almost in the same clothes, but a black v neck and a gray plaid shirt. I was walking alone with him, the both of us walking in front of the truck that was going to come behind us moment later, making it a last minute plan of attack. Trevor and I were bait, trying to draw them in and think that we were alone. It was odd to walk on the bridge that had no traffic, no people.

We were alone.

The two of us walking in the middle of the street and said nothing, looking forward. But I felt the intense anxiety in my chest and the fear of dying in my head. Did Nico want this for me? Did he plan this for me when he became my guardian? I felt like I was going to almost slap him in the face, turning myself in like this when he wanted to run and never look back once.

He would be proud.

We walked past a police car that was turned upside down, almost completely demolished and torn to pieces. I wondered if there were any policemen still alive in there, but I had no time to stop and see. We kept walking slowly until we reached the middle of the bridge, stopping when we heard something in front of us. We stayed still, until we saw three Modadorians coming out of the intense fog. They were at least ten feet away from us and they looked down at us.

Stay Calm I heard in my head and I knew it was Trevor, making me want to look over at him and just hold his hand. But we had to stick with the plan and fool them.

I love you I simply said in my head, wanting him to know before we would ultimately die in their hands. Sure it was a bad sappy moment, but it was better then than never at all.

I love you too He replied back to me and I felt a wave of warmth going through me for a mere moment or two. I knew even in the mist of all of this, that the two of us were going to do this together, we weren't going to be alone.

The lead Modadorian looked down at the both of us, clearly taller than the both of us and a small smile on his face. I knew he was trying to make us feel worthless form our spots, but I tried to hold my ground in my spot on the bridge.

"We heard there were two others with you." He snarled at me and I could feel his breath hitting my face, having me almost shiver knowing that he could hit me within seconds and kill me like it was nothing to him.

"They ran off." I replied back to him in a cold tone, seeing him tilt his head at me and snarl some more. Both Trevor and I knew that they might take the bait we had for them. I looked from the head Modadorian to the others, seeing them look at each other with a bit of surprise on their faces. They must of wanted to have all four of us to kick us off. But were they allowed to get off track, to not go in order? Number 7 was still out there somewhere, along with Number 9, that made me think: if we all got killed, there were two left out there who were trying to survive.

"No matter, two of you is better than none." He replied back to me, walking close to me and getting into my personal space. He stared me down, having me breathe in the stench that was on his body and seeing every detail in his jacket and shirt, hearing him sniff me and me cringing. I make a fists at my side and tried not to snap, even though I felt like pushing him away as he raised a hand to my neck, gently grabbing my neck and making me cringe.

As soon as I knew he was going to snap my neck, I looked over at Trevor and saw him wanting to help me, but the Modadorian next to him clutching his arm tight and making sure he wasn't going to move. I heard something behind me, almost like a gun cocking into place and the two Modadorians that were holding Trevor and I looked behind us, looking confused as to what was going on. I stayed still, waiting for what was going to come next. I then heard a gunshot, the Modadorian that was clutching my neck froze in his spot and I saw his eyes go wide from my spot. He then fell back, releasing my hand and I saw the gunshot in his forehead, a clean hit.

When his back slammed into the floor with a bolt, I looked over at the Modadorian and opened my mouth, the sonic scream coming out of my mouth. Trevor slammed his hands over his ears and the Modadorian fell to the ground in pain. I saw behind the other Modadorians our truck driving in a fast rate, skidding to a halt and going sideways, stopping just in time for Number 4 and 6 jumping out from the bed of the truck and landing on their feet behind them. They started to fight as I threw out my dagger that I had stored in my back pocket, Trevor doing the same with his that was hiding under his sleeve. He stabbed the Modadorian that fell to the floor from my assault as I dodged a few blows from another one trying to get at me with his hands and claws. I ducked under from getting the claws sunk into my neck and I stabbed him right in the ribs.

He fell to the floor as I saw Sam getting out of the car, having the shotgun in his hand and shooting at a Modadorian that was coming his way. He got him in the chest as I saw one chasing at me. I ran from him, trying to get him away from the bigger scene as I ran to the rails of the bridge. But before I could move away from the edge, he swiped at me and I fell over the edge, feeling the rush of falling for a mid second before clutching onto the railing with both hands.

I felt nothing form underneath me around my feet, and I tried to keep my strength in my arms as I saw the Modadorian lewering over me on safe ground. He knew he had the upper game as I felt the dagger I was using hitting around in my jeans pocket, begging for me to throw it out and kill him. But I was loosing my grip on the rail and I as afraid that I was going die, fall off the bridge and hit the water in a grunt. But I let go of one hand, grabbing my dagger carefully before the Modadorian grabbed my hand that was still clenching the rounded metal. He lifted me to be face to face with him, his hold on my wrist was so harsh that I thought he would break my bones within seconds with no real effort from him. I was now facing his own face as I grabbed the dagger in my pocket.

I threw it out at him, hitting him in the neck and hearing him gasp and stagger a moment or two. He then dropped my wrist as he fell to the floor, feeling the wave and rush of falling to my death. But I felt another hand, a gentler but stern hand around my upper arm to keep me from falling. I looked up and saw it was Trevor himself seeing him pull me up and over the rail. As soon as I was close enough, he wrapped his other arm around my stomach to make it easier to pull her over. I landed back on my feet and smiled at him, thinking at that moment I wanted to kiss him for saving my life.

But that moment was short lived, hearing a slashing sound and Trevor scream out in pain, hunching over in front of me and I saw what made it so: a large slash across his mid back and curving slightly. I looked up and saw a Modadorian holding one of his own daggers in hand, and I knew he did it. I grabbed the dagger that was in the dead Modadorian's chest, pulled it out and then sliced at the one still standing. I watched him fall and then attended to Trevor, who was still in pain. I checked his back, seeing that it was hardly bleeding but it could be worse if not attended to. I pulled him up carefully and checked his face, to make sure that he was in fact alright. I could see the pain on his face, how he was trying to make it so that he wasn't in pain. How stubborn was he.

"Hang on, Trevor. Hold on for one more second okay?" I said to him in a hushed tone and I grabbed him carefully, walking him over to a safe clearing by a car that wasn't harmed, which was odd. I placed him against the car on the floor, his side propped against the car, making sure that his wound on his back wasn't being touched at all.

"Stay here, as soon as we can I'll get you help." I said to him in reassurance and he squinted from the pain. I looked up from where I was, seeing Sam fighting, along with Number Six killing like it was a everyday job and John trying to finish the rest of them off. I kissed Trevor on the side of the head, handed him my dagger that was still in my hand and placed it close to his chest. I ran off from him and over to Sam, throwing a Modadorian off of him that was about to punch him right in the face. As soon as he was far enough, I grabbed the shotgun in his hand, aiming with one hand and shooting him in one blow.

I looked up at the scene around us. I saw no Modadorian left alive, all of them were dead and no longer moving, spread out around the area on the bridge as the fog was still heavy, but the feeling of death was heavy in the air. Number Six and Number Four were breathing heavily from their spots, holding their weapons and covered in dirt, some blood and sweat. I looked back over at Trevor, walking over slowly and helping him up. While trying to avoid his wound, I walked him over to the police car Number Six was turning on and opened the back door for him, feeling him grasp my hand as I tried to get him inside.

"Lay him on his side. As soon as we're safe, I'll tend to it." Number Six said aloud to me as I got him to lay down gently. I looked back at Number Four, seeing him walk over to Sam and make sure that he was alright. I took in a deep breath, trying to calm myself down when I knew that we were safe.

We won this battle, but how many more were there?
