Author's Note: Hi everyone, thank you for all the very nice reviews; IwishIcouldbeNumberFive, Samthevariablex and I'm Number Eleven AND GUESS WHAT?
We reached 1000 VIEWS on this fanfiction! I must be dreaming.
Did you guys hear? The title of the next book in the main series was announced, it's called THE FATE OF TEN. Pretty cool ring to it, but I wonder who the TEN people are. Anyway, thanks again for reading my previous chapters!
ACTION!
:D
John/Four POV
As Joe, Marina and some other students go to Coach for their Legacy training – I think. Stan, me and the rest of the class goes to Miss Lerner. Wow. I can understand why Stan is all excited now. She's quite pretty, long blondish-brown hair, full lips, average height and stunning amber coloured eyes. I snap out of my train of thought and continue with the class. The students stand in a little cluster, I can hear Coach yelling on the other side. Stan comes next to me,
"Oh boy, this is going to be something" he says gleefully. I just smirk at his "willingness".
"OK class, hi, I'm Miss Lerner, I am the assistant gym teacher. We're going to start with a little warm up" she says, grinning slyly. Stan rubs his hands together,
"5 laps around the oval!" she says, pointing to the huge double doors that separates the inside gym space from the oval outside. Half the class groans and slowly makes their way to the oval. Of course Stan ditches me and speeds off into first place, he's running like a maniac! I start to make a slow jog, I'm not at the back, I'm in the middle towards the front. I don't want to waste my energy and breath on a stupid warm up. At some point between the 3rd and 4th lap my hands become extremely sweaty; I know I'm running at a pace in the morning sun, which is intensifying it's heat for that matter, but it's normally around the 6th to 7th lap I start to sweat a lot. And I'm pretty sure my palms don't get sweaty unless I'm nervous…
"Come on Johnny!" I hear Stan shout from the front; I've realised I've fallen behind, I'm now second last, the last guy, I think his name is Cody; he's just given up on running, he's walking, and walking very slow. I try to speed up but something shoots through my body, searing heat in my hands starts to begin. I jump in surprise and try to wipe my hands on my shirt, it only makes it worse. I scream from the intensifying pain coursing through my hands and skin. I trip and fall to the ground; my hands feel like they're on fire! There's a small drinking station a few meters to my left – on the side of the running track. I get up and run over there, my hands burn, I groan and shout in pain, some of the other students give me looks, some come over and immediately sprint away back to the track. I put my hands under the cold water – nothing. My head pounds from the sudden headache coming on, my legs give way and my vision blurs; black spots appear on the side of my vision, the sight turns to nothing but black nothingness. And the last thing I hear is a scream.
Marina/Seven POV
It's Joe's turn to show his Legacy to Coach. I don't know why, but I feel nervous; I'm also very happy. Weird right? I honestly can't stop thinking about Joe, he's on my mind 25/8 – if that's even possible. He walks to the middle and faces the small group, I blow him a small flying kiss; he grins, which sends my heart into somersaults, I blush and fiddle with the end of my shirt. I really like Joe, he's one of the best things that has ever happened to me, maybe even the best. I look at him again; he's so cute when he's nervous, his eyebrows scrunch up and his emerald green eyes sparkle with the same amazing twinkle. And let's not forget his body – wow. I never even knew he had abs! I accidentally walked in on him changing his shirt, I blushed madly when I saw his physic, although he was red from embarrassment too, I couldn't drag my eyes away. I find myself grinning widely, I quickly look at Joe once more and smile. He smiles back, again sending tingles and zings throughout my body – and that smile, he looks so hot-
"OK pisspot show us whatcha got" Coach says but it comes out as a demanding yell. Joe nods nervously, before he teleports he looks to me. I remember how he saved me, I could never repay him. It worked out so perfectly, getting saved by the person you have a crazy crush on. I return back to Joe, everyone looking at him,
"Uh, hi I'm Joe and I uh, can teleport" he says smiling at the end, he pauses for a second, probably getting ready to teleport, he closes his eyes. I'm shaking nervously for him, I really want him to impress everyone. A second later he disappears, a puff of displaced air floats around where he was before, everyone has looks of surprise and awe on their faces, they look around for him. He appears on the other side of the room and then speedily teleports again, he's gone for a few extra seconds and I get worried, then suddenly he appears inches from my face, I'm too slow to be startled, he grabs my arms and spins me around. He dips me down like those people dancing ballroom in the movies and leans down and kisses me. I'm caught by surprise, but soon melt into the kiss, and before I can fully kiss back he draws his lips away, leaving me kinda bummed I didn't get more. The rest of the group claps madly, their faces plastered with smiles and grins, some of the girls "Aww" at the sight they saw, I blush madly as Joe stands next to me and wraps his arms around. I giggle in response, burying my head in his chest. Joe laughs,
"Alright pisspot, enough of that, next!" Coach says, but I can see a very small smirk at the edge of his lips. I'm about to go next but a scream cuts the once happy atmosphere.
Stan/Nine POV
Ok so I'm casually running – first place that is, and then some chick screams, I look over to where the scream came from… and what do ya know? Some dude has fallen on the ground at the drinking station. I run straight over, everyone has started to crowd him, the hot teacher, Miss hot Lerner quickly runs over and looks at the person. I push my way to the front, curious to see who fell.
"Holy sh*t" I mutter as I stare at my friend John, he's passed out on the ground, his hands under the cold water – but something else is happening, the water is evaporating before it even touches his skin… and yes I know what evaporating means. I look back to John's hands, his palms are lighting up and blueish colour towards the centre and the rest of his hand has taken on an orangey-yellow hue-like colour; some people start to back up, the rest of the class comes over, Coach still far behind; he's not fat or anything, just… physically challenged. Miss hot Lerner turns of the tap for the water and tries to take John's hands out of the sink, she jars back in shock – his hands must be really hot. Joe and Marina teleport into the irregular circle the class has made – he's getting pretty good at that. Shock and disbelief fills their faces,
"W-what happened?" Joe asks, letting go of Marina's hand and going towards John, his hand reaching out to touch him,
"Don't! you'll burn yourself" Miss hot Lerner says cautiously her hand holding the one she tried to touch John with, her eyes are wide with shock. Joe withdraws quickly, returning to Marina, she grabs his hand and stays close to him.
"Alright, what in the name of Lore did you messed up teenagers do thi-" the Coach surprisingly shuts up when he sees John's condition. He walks into the middle and observes John, there's a pause.
"Someone call his Cepan, get the nurse, also someone stay with him" Coach says walking back to the indoor gym area. The rest of the class leaves, I see Emily in the crowd, I smile at her, she gives a small one back, before heading with the group. Joe, Marina and I stay with John. It's not long before I see Maren sprinting across the oval to us, typical. She almost falls to a stop, she has a panicked expression on her face,
"I called Brandon, is he Ok? What happened?!" she says, panic rising in her voice, she reaches out to touch him, Joe pulls her back,
"Careful, he'll apparently burn you if you touch his skin" he says, still holding Maren back in case she touches him anyway. I look at her face, she's on the verge of freaking out; I can tell she really cares for John,
"He's gonna be fine" I say, trying to give a reassuring look; but I think it comes across as a weird face. Joe goes back to Marina and they talk in hushed tones. Maren just sits down beside John and stares at him, there's an awkward pause,
"Ya know he likes you" I say, breaking the awkward and replacing it with more, Joe and Marina sit down in the little circle we've made, joining the conversation, they're both smirking – they've been there, done that. Maren looks up, her eyebrows raised,
"No seriously! He honestly doesn't stop staring at you. And blushing… it's actually kinda annoying now when I think of it" Joe says, everyone laughs, Maren starts to have a small heat rise in her cheeks, I grin,
"Well how about Emily?" she asks, smirking at the end. Oh sh*t. Joe and Marina laugh at my expression of confusion and shock. I look to Joe with a glare,
"Hey don't look at me, she has her ways of prying information from people. It's scary…" he says with a weird voice, Marina giggles of course and Maren punches Joe's arm, still smirking. Joe rubs his arm with a jokingly hurt face. Maren smirks wider,
"So I'm serious, what's up between you and Em-" she's interrupted by running footsteps from behind us. We turn around and see Brandon running towards us, he looks actually quite calm for a guy who just received news that his Garde is unconscious.
"How is he?" he asks leaning forward and taking a good look at John. I hear the Coach walking over, I stand up with Joe, Marina and Maren.
"Brandon, glad you're here" the Coach says casually – wow. That's a change.
"He's developed his first Legacy, I presume a heat-based power" the Coach states, Brandon nods and turns to the Coach. They talk in hushed tones, I look at the rest,
"So a heat based power. Trust Johnny here would get a heat one, with all the cheek reddening and sh*t, I'm actually not surprised" I say with a mocking grin, Maren roll her eyes, while Joe smirks. Behind me Brandon finishes talking with the Coach,
"Thanks Dev, good to see you again" the Coach nods and walks back to the inside area. Brandon turns to us,
"OK let's see what Legacy Mister Smith here got"
Author's Note: Hi everyone, I hoped you enjoyed that chapter. I put two very small Easter Eggs in there, not sure if you'll pick up on them, but still try. Hint: they're both male characters from the main series.
Thanks again for reading, please, please, please review – it really makes my day when I see your reviews! Thanks a lot – also tell me what you think about the new title for the sixth book in the main series – The Fate of Ten.
