Re-Birth

Chapter 5 Leaving

At first Sophie and Jace both objected but I convinced them that it was better that way. After a long argument we agreed that we would leave in the morning so I decided to text Kesa and tell her that the apartment was all hers.

-Something was different something was wrong. I was no longer being the by stander in space but I was the sun. I saw the beautiful earth below me weeping, making the oceans grow and destroy. In front of me the moon was fading away lifeless and colorless. I felt the urge, the need to stop the moon from ceasing to exist. I gathered up the energy and let it out, it looked like visible air, but it was as colorful as a rainbow. It flowed like a boat being gently pushed by the waves. It went inside the moon and the moon shone like a new sun. Then I felt weakness, my energy was draining at a dangerous speed, then every thing around me went black.-

I woke up gasping, sweat was covering every inch of my body. I hurled the covers off me and jumped out of bed. I ran to the the tiny bathroom and I leaned over the toilet. The sensation of puking was filling me up, but there was nothing in my stomach to puke out. After a couple minutes of lying on the floor clutching my stomach I decided to get up. I check my phone that was next to my bed and I saw that it was one hour before I had to get them. -Crap!-I thought to myself, I slept in. I went to my closet and grabbed my bag and shoved my jeans and shirts inside, also the more personal clothes. I made sure I left some clothes I could change in, a scarlet blood tank top my black leather jacket, some black leggings and a pair of black sandals. I was grabbing another bag and shoving everything else that I needed like money, my phone and other stuff when I realized that I forgot to iron my hair. I quickly ironed my hair though it was hard because my curls weren't cooperating with me. After I finished I grabbed and elastic and tied my hair, the end of my ponytail was just below shoulder length and I was wondering whether or not to cut it. I checked the time again and saw that I only had fifteen minutes. I grabbed my bags and ran out the door to my car, I almost tripped my self on my way down the stairs. I stepped in the morning air and squinted at the brightness of the sun. I went to unlock my car and put my bags inside.
I quickly got back inside the apartment and went to the third floor. I got to Sophie's apartment and I didn't even bother to knock and I just stepped inside. My lungs were fill with the sweet smell of bacon and toast. I went over to the kitchen and all eyes went on me. "Let me guess you couldn't wait to see me" Jace said in a mocking tone. I kept my face neutral and said," hurry up and eat pretty boy." I nodded at Sophie and Morgan and I took a seat. Once they were all seated and eating Sophie looked at me and said," so...how are we going to do this." I answered her by saying," I'll take you to one of the training areas in Cost Rica until your ready to fight." Morgan looked at me horrified, Jace looked amused and Sophie looked interested. Then Morgan stood up so quickly she knocked over the chair. "Absolutely not Re...Fire!" I couldn't help but stand up too, except I did it in a more mannerly fashion. I looked at her and motioned to Sophie and Jace," they are the only chance we have to defeat Cole, and maybe we can change him to our side." She gave me a disgusted glare and said," Just because they corrupted your team and because you had an affair with Cole..." That's when I lashed out and said," he was only a mere friend and you know what will happen if he gets them to his side."Now she was sobbing on the ground hands on her face. I walked over to her and kelt down, put my hand on her shoulder and said," I don't want them to turn into mindless soldiri..." Then she pushed my hand away and Sophie knelt down next to her and said," look Morgan I don't get what is going on but it seems to me that we are in danger." I decided to stand up and grab my keys that laid on the kitchen table. I walked to the door and leaned against the door frame and waited. After five minutes of whispering in between the three of them they all stood up and Morgan said," Jeniffer is going to kill me once she finds out." I gave her a fake pitied look and said," that's why we should leave before she comes back." I started to walk out the door and I heard Jace and Sophie right behind me and we all walked in silence to my car. Once we got to the car I told Jace and Sophie to give me their belongings. I made them sit in the back but they didn't seem to mind. I put their belongings on the shot gun seat. I turned on the car and we were on our way.
After a good five miles we got to and orphanage,"what are we doing hear?" Jace inquired. I told them to stay in the car and I carried their belongings and went inside the orphanage.
I came back out empty handed. Then I got in the car and Jace said," where is our clothes?!" I looked at him and said," don't worry you'll get new clothes in the training Fortua. Jace looked alarmed and angry," what the hell! I need to get my clothes back!" before I could stop him he moved at alarming speed went inside the orphanage. He came out with a black leather jacket on. He got in and I asked," why did you go back for a dirty jacket." He looked at me offended in some way and said," this is not just any jacket, other than being sexy it's super comfortable." I rolled my eyes and drove off again.
We passed the airplane station and Sophie said," wait, are we going to drive all the way to Costa Rica?!" I kept looking on the road and said," heck no, the place is to obvious and Cole will be able to find us..." Then Jace interrupted and said," what is the deal with this Cole guy any way?" I couldn't help but inhale sharply and I saw that now Sophie looked interested. I took a deep breath and fought to keep my voice from cracking," Cole... he is one of the eight as you know but he has the rest of the eight under his influence. He is trying to bring the team together again like old times..." Then Sophie interrupted me and said," What do you mean?" I kept my eyes focused on the road and said,"why do you think you know how to fight? Or how to use the sertina? Back when we were young we were all at the main Fortua, we were trained together by a man that knew of the eight. He was a good man, or so he made us believe. He taught us our history, how to fight and how to murder and find joy in it. He was a sick man and he corrupted Cole most of all." That's when my voice started to crack and my mind flashed back to a memory.
