Excess

Information

Just wanted to say thanks to my lovely bestfriend, BrightBlueLeila, who made the cover for this book. Love ya.

Lauren Quinto

Sam gave me a glass of water as I finally calmed down. That poor guy, ha has been a part of my everyday life and now, he's gone. He's dead and I couldn't do anything. That vision. There is something with that vision. I have to know what's with it. What's happening. How come I saw it before I even knew what was coming. There is something wrong with me. A knock on the door came and Sam answered it. She hurried to the door with the chips she took from the fridge and opened the door up. I heard a silent conversation probably about her asking who the heck the person is. She called me telling me someone is looking for me. I wiped my tear away, wishing that was the last one and went towards the door. I seeked through the space between Sam and the door and saw a tall guy with brown hair and white shirt mostly covered by his black jacket, he's wearing fitted jeans and brown boots. His fancy hair slicked back as he looked at me with a smirk.

"Hello, ms. Quinto." he greeted with a smile.
"Um, hello?" I said but more of like a who-the-heck-are-you greeting.
"I'm Apollo, nice to meet you. I just wanted to know if you would agree to come with me for a quick talk." he said. Well this guy is weird.
"But I dont know you, and you know me. And now you're asking me to come with you?" I said with a cock of an eyebrow.
"You will know me, Lauren, just come with me. I promise, you're safe." he said. I dont know why but I have this feeling that I need to come with him. I need to follow. I took my white coat and said bye to Sam who is already sitted in the couch with her eyes fixed on the movie she's watching. I went out of the door and we walked together, and he started to talk.
"You know, Lauren, I just need to tell you something." he said looking at me as he stopped his fast pace.
"And what would that be?" I asked. This dude is making me ask a lot of questions.
"I just wanted you to know that I am Apollo, again, and I am one of the four people containing the elements."
He said and my eyes widened,looking at him. I mean, did he just say that? STRAIGHT FORWARDLY?
"What? Are you kidding me? Im not in the mood you know, and I want to go home." I said starting to furrow my eyebrows.
"I know you wouldn't believe but, maybe I could prove to you." He said and looked at me with a smirk.

You see, I just really wanted to talk. But I guess not believing the first information I told you will make you question the second one even more.

Someone in my mind told me, someone told me. And he smirked. Is he the one talking to me? BUT HE DIDN'T EVEN OPEN HIS MOUTH. I am so confused right now.

"Yes, Lauren, I am the one talking to you." he said as if he read my mind.
"Who do you think you are to enter my mind? And eventm talk to it!" I screamed at him. Well, almost screamed at him
"I just wanted to prove you." he told me.
"So what? I don't care. Why are you telling me this? I dont need to know."
I said firmly.

"You do."
"And why?"
"Because you, Quinto, are one of us."
"What? Are you trying to fuck with my mind?"
"No."
"Then what is this bulls**t?"
"Well, you're not actually supposed to be one of the four."
"And?"
"Cause you're the fifth."

I almost laughed at him. I have been studying about the elemental war for ten years now. We even have a special subject for that. And he's gonna tell me that there is a fifth? And that's me? I know whole heartedly that there are four elements and that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. These four elements have their own special abilities. And looks like this one is a psychic.

"Fifth? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?"
"It shocked me too, but we will know about that."
"No thanks, I'm not gonna play hero cause I'm not one."
"That's what I thought weeks ago." he said looking at me straight in the eyes. "One month, Lauren. One month is the time left! And if you don't wanna play hero, then be a real one. Remember your vision lately? That's your abilities! You're gonna have to come with me and train. The world is in your hands, Lauren. One wrong move and it will all fall. Please, believe me." he said holding both of my hands. "I dont have any abilities, and if I do, I don't think my visions can even help." I said still in shock hearing him say that. "You will find more about your powers. Just come with me. We need you, Lauren, we need the excess." Excess. What could he even mean by that? "So, will you come with me?" He said, offering me his hand. I took it and..

**
Someone was walking towards a somewhat looked like a circular object that seems to have another place in it. Something that appears to be a portal and jumped right through it. The portal colsed and the guy was gone, giving the other people in the small room gasp. The girl in the room took a seat on the couch looking at the window as she took a sip on her wine. She was staring at the window intently, her eyebrows started to furrow and start to look worried. Then in a blink of an eye, someone had crashed right through the window and walked fast towards the lady, choking her as she let go of the glass she is holding and crashing through the shining tiles holding the guy's hands trying to get them off her. The guy used one of his hands to take something from a familiar black jacket. And he took a familiar knife.

I removed my hands from his and was back to reality. Here it goes again, the vision. What was that?

"You need to tell me what you saw." Apollo said, I bet he read my mind again.

"It's weird. I cant explain it." I said as I gasped and breathed heavily.

"I believe in you, Lauren, tell me what you saw. You are the excess, probably the most powerful of all of us. Tell me, what did you see in the vision?"

"I..I saw someone. I s-saw a g-irl. I think she is one of us. S-she can make p-portals, I think. Someone k-killed her." I told him trying not to Stutter but failed anyways. But that guy, in my vision, he's Lucian. He's not a killer. I know him.

"Agatha." he mumbled.

"What?"

"We have to find Agatha!"
