I Am Number Four

Four and Henri continue to practice using Four’s Legacies. During one of their practice sessions in which Four lies suspended over flames, Four has visions and images of the past, specifically of his grandfather, his father, and a creature called Hadley that transforms into different animals at will, like a dog, a monkey, and a bird.

Henri says that Four’s grandfather was the funniest person he ever met, while his grandmother was quiet but intelligent. His grandfather could turn invisible at will, which is one of the rarest Legacies there is. Henri briefly mentions his wife on Lorien, Julianne, whom he says was one of the kindest and most nurturing people he ever met.

As Four listens to Henri talk, he can see the battlefield. He sees the airship that carried the Garde and their Cêpan to Earth, but he also sees a second airship that uses fire for liftoff. This is unusual because Lorien ships use crystals, not fire, to power them, and Henri never mentioned anything about a second ship. Finally, he sees a man in a silver and blue suit who can control the weather, dead along with all the others on the battlefield.

When Four comes back to the present, he asks Henri why he never mentioned the second ship.
