Hey guys!

I'm back with a new chapter!

Thank you everyone who read this story!

Reviews:

Glory of Lorien: Good observation! I did that on purpose. You'll see ;) I'm not sure what you mean by that. Ella isn't dead. She just got captured. Yes, this is after the Fall of Five. Ella got captured, because she's apparently Setrákus Ra's heir. For Garde, i meant future Elders. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks!

The Book Queen: Thanks! Here's the update!

Trivero: Thanks and here's the update!

Happy reading!

•Chapter 2•

-Six's POV-

"Who are you?" I ask bluntly.

"I thought you'd figure it out by now," she says, smirking. "I'm a Garde. Duh."

I roll my eyes. "We aren't stupid. Who. Are. You?" There were supposed to be only Nine Garde that came, and then Ella came. That's ten of us. That seems legit, because there were Ten Elders. So, you're the extra. So what are you doing here?"

Marina mumbles, "Uh, about that …"

"Ella actually isn't an Elder. She's Setrákus Ra's descendant. Her father was a crazy guy who pushed her into a ship. Crayton was her father's butler. So just saying, the Tenth Elder position is still open."

Marina glares at Nine. "It isn't a position. It's an honour to be an Elder." Turning to the girl, she adds, "I'm not sure if we can believe your story, though. But well, you did get us out. So, well … Nine, Six, and I will discuss what to do. Give us a moment, okay?"

She glances at her watch. "Hurry. They'll catch up any second now,"

As the three of us discuss our next move, I get a strange feeling in my head. It kinda buzzes and I feel lightweight. Suddenly, I see memories flash through my mind. Escaping a burning Lorien. I can feel worry and fear. Getting her first Legacy. I can feel joy. Killing her first Mogadorian. I can feel satisfaction. Killing the Mogs in the base. I can feel anger, joy, revenge, and hatred.

As quick as it began, it ends. The lingering feeling doesn't leave me. She isn't a traitor. She isn't working for the Mogadorians. I don't think so, at least.

Marina snaps her fingers in front of my face. "Hello? Hello? Six? You there?" she asks.

I shake my head out of her thoughts. "Sorry. I don't think she is working for them. I think I just developed a new Legacy. Telepathy, maybe? I felt—well, experienced—her thoughts. Nothing about her working for the Mogadorians."

"So I guess that she isn't a traitor, then?"

-Marina's POV-

We link hands once more and they lead us to their house. It's a fairly big three-storey house. The moment we enter the house, we drop hands and I see a dog. Running for me.

"Artemis, no!" The girl yells. The dog obediently stops, but still looks at us, inspecting us. Turning to us, the girl says, "Sorry about that. My Chimæra is a bit over-protective at times. She protected me ever since Lorien got attacked. This is Aisling, my protector. She's actually a Garde, but she took the role of a Cêpan when my real one couldn't." Aisling nods at us.

"Give them a tour of the house, okay? I'll prepare some food."

"Okay, Ash!"

We follow her around the house. "These will be your rooms," she says, gesturing to two open doors. "Marina and Six will have to share a room. Hope you don't mind." She leads us down the dark stairs, into the basement. Thank goodness for my night vision. "This is the training room." Impressive. Of course, it's not as big as Sandor's top-notch gadgets, but it's still pretty good. There's a surplus of knives, swords, guns, bow and arrows, and mats are all lined up on the floor.

"I'm going to go train. See ya guys later!" she says.

The girl grabs a handful of knives and throws them at the targets. It hits each one bulls-eye. Just as she throws another knife, her hair moves, and exposes her neck. As that happens, I notice something peculiar. I see a scar, about the size of my thumbnail, on the back of her neck. It looks fairly recent. I'll have to ask her about that later.

-John's POV-

I've been sitting at the monitor for quite some time now, trying to figure out where Nine, Six, and Marina are. They should've been back ages ago. Which means 1), they probably got captured, 2), they're about to get their ass roasted, 3), they didn't get Eight's body, and finally, 4) I'm probably going to be the last remaining Loric left.

How stupid of me to send the three of them together. Sure, we have Adam, Sam Malcolm, and Sarah—and not to mention the Chimæra—but I can't fight the majority of the Mogadorians on my own. We're stronger together.

I rub my eyes and turn away from the monitor. I close my eyes, and think back to how we got to this mess in the first place.

{Flashback}

We sit on the lawn after training. The sun has disappeared over the horizon. Adam says, "Guys, we need to do something. We can't just sit around and wait for them to come. Who knows when will that be? Who knows what will happen? We need to do something—find Ella, stab Five, kill Setrákus—okay, maybe that's kinda crazy. But we have to do something!"

"Mog Boy is right," Nine says. Adam winces at the name. "I'm bored. I need some action around here. I need to kick a Mog's ass. Hard."

"They have him," Marina says, pointing into the dark. "They have his body and I'm not going to let them keep it."

Nobody needs to ask to know who she's talking about. I find myself nodding. "How about we go into the Base and take it?"

"Which base, though? There are dozens here in the US," Sam says.

"From my previous experiences, try Ashwood Estates. Ya know, in Washington D.C.? That's where most of the scientists preform their experiments. No doubt, Eight would be there."

Malcolm speaks up. "I agree with Adam. That's where he found me, too." He grimaces at the memory.

"Well, who's going?"

"I will," Marina says. I'm not surprised.

"Me," Nine adds. "I want to apologise to Eight,"

"Six, go with them," I say. She looks surprised. "Just in case. You'll do fine. The three of you are strong. You can do it."

The next day, they leave.

{End of flashback}

I haven't seen them since. I hope that they're al—

I am brought out of my thought when a crash echoes through the room.

We're screwed for sure.

Thanks for reading! I'll see you guys next week!

RQOTD (Random question of the day): Who's your favourite character in the Lorien Legacies? And which character (Mogs don't count, they're monsters, not characters) would you like to see die? (in the real stories, I mean)
