I Am Number Four

Epilogue: Saying Goodbye

The next day came quickly for the six Garde from Lorien, they couldn't risk staying anymore especially after what had happened; they needed to get a move on before the Mogadorians decided to track them down.

Mark and Sarah had come to say their goodbyes since they would be staying behind; they knew that they didn't belong in this fight and they could only wish the group the best on their travels.

Mark had stolen back John's Lorien box from his father which he eagerly handed over to John while Avalon, Six and Camden discussed their plans; there was so much that was left undecided about all of this.

Mason and Camden were happy to see Avalon finally taking charge of the situation at hand and embracing her heritage as a Lorien Council member; as she had named Six and Camden as the start of her new council while John held a co-councillor position through his bond with Avalon.

John smiled as he approached Avalon before wrapping his arms around the brunette who sighed; he wasn't looking forward to what came next and he had even asked to come with her.

"How will you know where to start our search?" John asked making Avalon grin before nodding at his Lorien Box making him look at her confused; she had a feeling that there would be something helpful in there.

She was still trying to piece together the plan that they had been left with and Avalon wished someone on the council would have had the sense to write it down and leave it for them somewhere to help them out.

"There's a Lorien crystal in there that I believe will help us, Camden and the others are heading to Spain in search of Number Seven," Avalon stated knowing that it would be a good start, she wasn't sure on much else but she hoped that what she was saying was helpful.

John spotted Sarah approaching them and hoped that she wasn't going to make a fool of herself, she had been quiet after what had happened and he didn't want to make this farewell awkward in anyway.

Sarah rubbed her hands together before she spoke softly to Avalon, she knew this would be the last time that they saw one another; she wanted to say goodbye to the girl that had been her closest friend for a few months.

"I'm sorry for trying slapping you, I pinned my hopes on being with John to hide how I truly felt," Sarah murmured looking at the couple, she had seen how the couple were together and she doubted that she would have made him that happy.

Avalon nodded her head understandingly before she smiled softly at her friend, she doubted that they would be able to fully move on from this and they would find themselves fighting against the Mogadorians again one day.

"We will meet again Sarah," Avalon reassured her knowing that this wasn't going to be goodbye, she could feel it even if she hadn't seen it yet.

There was a part for Sarah to play in the future even if Avalon wasn't sure how big it would be when the time came; there was so much to be decided yet.

Sarah looked surprised and slightly worried, she had hoped that this was it for her and she had no desire to fight for her life again; especially when she couldn't defend herself properly.

"We'll meet again before myself and the others return to Lorien; I'm not sure when that will be but we will meet again," Avalon comforted as best she could making Sarah smile, she didn't know what she would do if she never got the chance to make this up to Avalon for the way she had treated her.

They had been close friends and Sarah had been sure that Avalon would have been her best friend if things had worked out differently; now it was a question that they would never know the answer to.
