The Attack (Lorien Legacies Fan-Fic)

Chapter 1: The Legacy

Me and Pikus, my cêpan, walked towards the looming house.

"Hey," I ask him" are you sure we can trust this human?"

"His family helped our ancestors," he said before knocking on the tall wooden door,"of course we can."

"Again!" I said with my hands in the air," Just because our ancestors were helped by them doesn't mean we trust their descendants!"

"I'm tired of you always going against what I say!" he yells at me as the snow around us keeps falling.

"Look-" I say before the door is opened.

"Are you Harry Goode?" Pikus asked the shy looking man slowly.

"Yes, and you?" he stammered.

"I'm Theodore Fret and this is my nephew, Lucas Fret" he says politely like he wasn't mad at me a second ago. I just crossed my arms over my chest and blew some hair out of my face since I was in desperate need of a haircut.

"Oh, already? Well, come in." He said showing us the way in.

"Thank you……" I say as I walk past him.

"Oh, uh Lucas go upstairs and the fourth room to the left is your room." He told me before I put my earphones on and proceeded onto my room. I know I seem very rude, but I just feel …… weird.

I should be glad for what I have right now though, but I feel like something bad is going to happen. If a Mog attack happens we'd be practically done. I haven't developed a legacy since I'm only 12, but I have been taught to fight.

"Lucas?" I hear the voice of a teenager say behind my door. I didn't know Harry had kids. Damn, that'll complicate things. But then I remember Pikus telling me Harry didn't have kids on the drive over. I immediately got tense knowing that this could be some sort of trap. I slowly approached the door getting ready for my first Mogadorian encounter. I put my hand on the cold handle and quickly turned it. After opening the door, I got the teenager's arm and yanked him into the room, pushed him on the floor while still holding his arm, and pulled his arm up with my leg on his back.

"Where are they?!" I yelled while tugging slightly harder.

"What?! Who?! Uncle Harry and Thomas?! They're waiting for you to join them for dinner……" he said through a groan.

"Oh, sorry……" I said blushing at my horrible social skills.

"It's- it's fine." He said before getting up and leaving the room. Damn, I'm so stupid! No wonder they knew I was Loric when I went to school!

I finally sucked up the fact that I barely fit in and went out of the room. I walked down the stairs and saw the living room in front of the stairs and smelled a feast. I walked past the wooden-floored into the marble tile kitchen. I saw a long table with 3 people sitting down at it waiting to chow down on the large arrangement of foods.

"Lucas!" Harry said at one end of the table.

"Come sit down." Pikus said at the opposite end of the table as Harry. They looked like two kings about to debate an important subject over dinner.

I sat down in front of the other boy I accidentally hurt. I saw in his eyes he was still hurt as well as shocked.

"Sorry about that……" I said referring to his arm.

"It's fine! I'll just be a bit sore in the morning……" he said as he was about to raise his hand to show it was fine, but winced in pain and put it down making me feel even worse.

"Well, on a lighter note let's eat!" Pikus said trying to brighten the mood while giving me his classic I'm-talking-to-you-when-this-is-over-look.

I get my plate and put some salad, meat, and bread on my plate. I see the other boy look at me like I was crazy for not getting anything else to eat. I felt bad since the cook probably took a long time preparing this and I only got this.

I ate my food quickly and went back upstairs to wait for Pikus to finish. 

I was about to turn on the T.V., but I heard Harry's nephew come upstairs. I still felt bad that I hurt so I got up and went to his room.

"Look, I know I already said it, but I'm sorry……" I said with a defeated look on my face.

"And I already said it but it's fine." He said while putting on a different shirt," I have to go somewhere with my friends."

"Oh, cool…… uh what's your name?" I asked him.

"Call me Ty." He said.

"Well, Ty do you know why I'm here?" I asked trying not to say that I'm an alien and that I'm hiding out here.

" Yeah, I have to say that's kinda cool." He said while I felt a question at the tip of my tongue.

"Ty why are you here?" I ask and immediately regret it since I see a mixture of anger, grief, and sadness come across the face.

Then he replies," They were in a fatal shoot-out……"

"I'm so sorry……" I want to say something encouraging, but I can't find the words and end up saying that.

"Well, my ride's here so bye." He said after looking at his phone. He leaves the room and I feel like I may have ruined his whole day. I was about to go back to my room, but he came running back and and grabbed his snow sweater,"I forgot it's snowing! Hah, how dumb." I just nod my head and follow him out to go to my room.

I walk in my room to see Pikus in there sitting on my bed with his head on his hands.

"Are you ok?" I ask my cêpan with concern.

"It's nothing, let's go outside." He says as he walks out. I follow him and grab my sweater as I walk out.

I close the door behind me and look at my cêpan' s face.

"What happened?" he asked me as I sighed and rolled my eyes at his over protectiveness.

"I accidentally hurt him." I say bluntly.

"I have a feeling that's all I'm going to get out of you on that, so what's up with you- you've been acting so rude."  He says with a tone that irritates me.

"I haven't been acting rude." I say smugly.

"Fine, you want to be like that?! FINE, but remember this: these people are giving us shelter and don't screw that up!" he yells at me as I ignore him.

"Ok, I'll try to keep it cool." I reply.

"Good." He says like I'm always defiant and mischievous.

"But you do know we're going to die here anyways right?" I say since he always got mad when I sad something like that.

His jaw clenched as I could tell he was losing his cool," Stop with that! We have been given a gift! You make it seem like protecting two planets is bad! You're giving your planet honor!"

I feel like doing something, so I pace back and forth with my fists clenched. I must be clenching them so hard that they're beginning to get cuts since I saw blood trickle down to the snow. I just wanted to hit something. Then, my blood on the snow began to glow. I saw Pikus' s eyes open larger out of curiosity.

"Licarus, stop." He said referring to my Loric name.  But I didn't stop, I felt heat boil up inside me. Once that heat ran through me it became numbness. Then, my hands became engulfed in a dull light. I panicked and lifted my hands up as I realized this is probably my first legacy finally kicking in.
