Chapter 12 John
We spend the next couple of weeks training. I try to train Five the way Henri taught me how to control my lumen but Five seems more interested in learning to set herself on fire. Eventually I see why Henri tried to throw a meat cleaver at me. Before long Fives whole body is burn proof and she started to not dub our legacy "Useless".
"C'mon Johno let's light me up." She says after we've practiced changing the beams from wide angles to precise bolts of light.
"Fine"
"Really? Yes!" She starts to run out to grab the firelighters that TK gave to us one day. I see Eight jog in looking sweaty with his chimera.
"Hey John. Mind if we talk quickly."
"Sure what's up?" as I say this I start rubbing his chimera along his back.
"I think we've spent too long here."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I mean we've spent too long here and got too comfortable."
"Look is this about Devdan because we will get him out. It's just that Sam doesn't remember seeing anything about him."
"Yeah and we can all trust a Mog."
"Eight!" I shout. I'm shocked he would say that. Him and Sam have never shown not to like each other.
"Sorry. Guess I'm just starting to get antsy from being here so long. Anyway that looks like my que" As he says this he teleports to where five is running in and takes the box of firelighters from her and teleports next to me and puts the box down and then disappears. Five runs up to me looking like a maniac.
"What a jerk." She says.
"What do you have against people helping you."
"Nothing. I have a thing against people patronising me, thinking I can't do things for myself."
"Well that's a nice insight" I say sarcastically
"Whatever time to light me up" I sigh and grab a fire extinguisher and start lighting Five up. As I do this I say:
"The aim of this exercise is to see how many shuttle runs you can do whilst on fire." When she's fully lit up I start my stopwatch and signify for her to start running. She makes it 12 times before she collapses and try's to put herself out. I run up to her with the fire extinguisher and spray it all over her.
"Well that was fun" Five says in between breaths.
"I'll train you to start setting yourself on fire without the use of fire starters. That's enough for today." As I say that I give her a hand up.
"Sweet." She looks down at her burned clothes.
"I should probably get changed. Thanks Johno. By the way I think I saw your girlfriend in TK's library again."
"Thanks." We've all noticed how Sarah is spending loads of time with TK and his collection of Loric books. I guess she doesn't want to feel useless. I walk to TK's library room with a towel over my face trying to wipe off the excess sweat from myself before seeing her. I see her in the corner of the room looking intently at a book with blue accents filling the pages.
"Hey gorgeous" she looks up from the book and smiles at me.
"Hey sweaty. Have you seen some of the stuff in these books? It's all so amazing." She replies. I kiss her before she starts to say more.
"I wish I could have seen the caves Eight said he saw in India. With these books I could help you guys understand it all."
"Yeah wish I'd seen them too." I say. It's hard to hide the jealousy from my voice that the rest of the Garde got to see them even if it was brief.
"I'm sure we'll find more. These books keep mentioning them and how there located all around earth."
"That would be nice." After saying this I yawn. I see its 11pm on my watch.
"I should probably get to bed too" Sarah says before I can say I'm going to bed.
"Well then let's go." I say. We start walking to my room. A couple of times we've snuck into each other's rooms just to be near each other. I saw Sam get shouted at by TK one morning when his camouflage unsuccessfully flickered on and off when he was exiting Six's room even though they both denied anything happening to TK. He got stuck running laps until he threw up.
We fall asleep in each other's arms. For the last couple of weeks I've had no dreams which is surprisingly nice having a full night's sleep but can't shake the feeling that something bad is happening without me knowing it. I wake up to a large banging that shocks me and Sarah awake. I look down and realise that we're still in our clothes from last night. I suddenly hear it again. It's TK banging at my door.
"Open up Now!" I signal Sarah to hide; sure TK's going to make me run laps until I throw up too. I open the door slowly and see that TK looks scared and has his shotgun in his hands and his wheelchair has a gun mounted to it. I see he has a laptop on his lap.
"There here. We have to leave now." He says. I run down the hall and knock on every door trying to get everyone up. Eight was right we got too comfortable and the Mogs found us. I hear another loud banging. It's like there trying to blast through the concrete walls. Everyone rushes to get dressed and ready to fight. TK calls to us to circle up.
"We're not fighting."
"What?!" Nine and Five say at the same time and then scowl at each other.
"I've seen the scanners, there's more than an army trying to get through. Besides I need to show you something before we leave." As he says this he wheels himself through the mazes of corridors. Sarah asks about the Loric books but TK assures her he's got backups. We come to a regular looking wall and all look at each other confused.
"Security breach 148" He says. The wall starts to shake and soon it's opening a door on the other side. We all move to the other side and TK shuts the door behind us using a hand scanner. I look around the walls and they start to become clearer as I shine my Lumen over them. I see that there are pictures covering the walls. Pictures of us.
"Welcome to one of the Loric walls." TK announces.
