Kai
I'm trapped under a pile of debris, hoping someone will find me. I see Cole walk by and try to get his attention.
"Cole." I say weakly
He quickly finds me and gets an angry look in his eyes, while he uncovers me.
I stand up and he punches me hard.
"Ow-! What the heck was that for Cole?"
"For this Kai!" He says gestering towards the burning remains.
"What are you talking about. Where's Nya? (Y/N)? Lloyd?" I say tears running down my face.
"She's dead! They're all dead! Because you lost your temper!"
"What?" My face goes pale
Cole starts advancing on me again, and I start backing up.
"This is all your fault!"
"Cole you've gotta believe me! I didn't do this! Why would I do this?"
"You can't be trusted!"
Cole's eyes turn red and he pushes me out to the end of a pier. Where I stand on the edge.
"Cole stop! You know I can't swim."
"I know. Choose your fate.... beat or drown?"
"Uh... neither?"
Cole quickly advances on me, angry, and I freeze in fear. He pushes me off the edge into the water. Where I try to swim, but can't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wake up in a cold sweat, and find (Y/N) shaking me.
"Kai what's wrong?"
"Nothing just had a nightmare." I say wiping the sweat off my face. She slips in beside me and puts her arm around me.
"It's ok Kai. It was just a nightmare. There's nothing to be afraid of." She says rubbing circles on my back.
"My temper. Water." I say
"Kai, it's ok. Nothing bad will happen." (Y/N) tries to calm me down.
I lean my head over on her shoulder, and put my arm around her tightly.
"What happened Kai?"
"I guess I lost my temper, and killed everyone. Besides Cole. He came back and killed me for revenge."
I feel a tear slide down my face, and (Y/N) wipes it away.
"Kai, don't worry. I know you won't do that..... You might singe your hair."
I chuckle at her joke and kiss her.
"That's right! Nobody messes with the hair!" I say ruffling her hair.
"Hey! Don't touch the hair!" She jokes
"Thank you (Y/N). I love you so much." I say as I doze off.
"I would do anything for you Kai." I hear her say hugging me.
Jay
It's pitch black all around me and I see a light, so I run towards it. It leads me to the junkyard.
"Mom! Dad!" I call out. But there's no response. That's not normal!
I run to their trailer and open up the door. "Mom! Dad!" I yell again popping in.
They're no where to be found. I quickly call them, but they don't answer.
"Where are you guys?" I ask to myself.
The world around me goes black again, but there's no light anywhere. The junkyard is still behind me, and in the distance I hear a crying little girl in the distance and walk up to her.
"Are you ok?"
"I'm afraid of the dark. Please help me dad."
"What's your name?"
"Ember Walker."
I pick her up and the wind picks up. When I turn around and look, there's a tornado behind us. I take off towards the direction of the junkyard, with Ember in my arms.
"Jay! Over here! Hurry honey!" Mom shouts from nowhere
The tornado gains speed and catches us. I try to protect Ember by wrapping my body around her's, but shrapnel pierces both of us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ahh!" I scream and throw my covers off my bed. (Y/N) quickly runs in my room, and jumps in bed with me.
"Jay, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" She asks looking sadly in my eyes.
"Yeah. I don't know what it was all about though, it was weird. My daughter was in it-"
"Your daughter?"
"Our daughter. And anyways, I went to the junkyard, but no one was there, and they wouldn't answer their phones. It went dark, and I found our daughter crying because she's afraid of the dark. When I tried to comfort her, a tornado appeared, and took both of our lives. I FAILED AT PARENTING!" I feel tears fall down my face, and
(Y/N) brings me into a hug.
"Jay it was just a nightmare. And it's hard to fail at parenting when you've never been a parent."
I chuckle at her and lean back against the wall. She yawns and slips under the covers. "Come join me when you're ready."
Her breathing quickly slows and I hear her softly snoring. I slip under the covers and put my arm around her tightly. "I'm not failing at being a boyfriend." I whisper and kiss her, quickly falling asleep.
Zane
I am in an ice cave somewhere, and it is a maze to maneuver, but I soon come upon a clearing. I see Kai and (Y/N) across the clearing and attempt to reach them, but I am stopped by an invisible force. I attempt to yell at them, but it seems my cries fall upon deaf ears. I can barely make out what they are saying, but I do hear (Y/N)'s crying, ringing throughout the cave.
"It's ok, (Y/N). It'll will be fine." Kai says putting a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"I know Kai, but Zane can't find out.... Please." (Y/N) says burying her face into his chest.
Kai brings her in to a tight embrace, rubbing his hand up and down her back. I feel jealousy well up inside me at the sight unfolding in front of me, and I wonder what they are trying to keep from me.
"But isn't it his?" Kai asks looking down at her.
She eventually breaks the hug, and looks around her surroundings. When (Y/N) turns, I finally see the baby bump that she is bearing. I hold my breath as I await her response, hoping it is not what I fear.
"No Kai... it's yours."
"You cheated on me?" I say as I feel the anger well up the inside of me.
They both turn wide eyed in my direction, frozen in place. We all stand there in silence until I start to walk away.
"Zane, wait! I can explain!" (Y/N) yells after me.
"I do not want to hear it." I say and continue walking.
"Zane please!" She desperately cries.
"No! You cheated!" I turn and yell at her, causing her to stop in her tracks.
By now, Kai has joined at her side, and avoids saying anything. Even Kai is hesitant after seeing my actions.
"I'm sorry!" (Y/N) says taking another step towards me.
"Since you are more happy with him, stay with him." I say and turn around to continue my trek.
I am to the exit, and do not plan on turning back until I hear Kai frantically saying her name. I look and see (Y/N)'s lifeless body on the ground, with a bloody knife beside it. I quickly run to her side with tears falling down my face, while Kai stands frozen. I attempt to revive her, but all my efforts fail.
"No! (Y/N) I am sorry! Please do not leave me! I still love you!" I cry as I hug her lifeless body in my arms.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"No!" I scream and sit up, startling (Y/N) beside me.
"(Y/N)!" I scream and hug her tightly.
"Zane, are you ok? You were thrashing around a lot." She says hugging me back.
"I am fine. I just had a horrible vision."
"What was your vision about?" She asks looking up at me.
"Um... You do not happen to be pregnant do you?" I feel a bit uneasy asking
"Zane! No! You know we haven't done anything yet!" She blushes and breaks away from the hug.
"I am aware of that, but my visions show the future."
"Why's that bad? As long as I'm with you, it'll be ok." She says grasping my hand.
"Well, it was not my kid, but Kai's. After I found out, you took your life.... and I lost you." I say as the tears begin to fall down my face again.
(Y/N) brings me into another hug, and I hug back tightly. We stay like this for two minutes while she rubs my back in an effort to comfort me.
"Zane, I hope this vision isn't true!" She says finally breaking the silence.
"I know. I can not fathom losing you, my flower." I say pecking her lips tenderly.
After five minutes of having (Y/N) in my arms, I start to drift back into sleep. Before I completely slip into a peaceful sleep, I feel (Y/N) leave my grasp. I feel lonely without my flower in my presence.
"You may stay with me if you wish." I say drowsily.
She doesn't hesitate and slips under the covers. I wrap my arms around her protectively, and wait for her to drift off. I soon feel her heart rate decrease, and her breathe deepen, indicating that she is asleep.
"I love you so much, my flower." I say and snuggle into her.
Cole
Me and the guys are at a competition for elemental masters, to determine which group is the best. They're beginning to hand out trophies, and I hold my breath as I wait to hear my name called... but it never comes. I try not to show too much disappointment on my face, as the guys show off their trophies, and boast about getting them.
"Wow, Cole. We all know you usually suck, but now this proves it." Kai laughs
"Yeah." The others agree.
I look away from them and hold back tears as they start handing out team awards. I wait anxiously to hear our name called, but it never comes. My stomach drops as we walk off the stage, disappointed we didn't even place in the top five. We all make our way over to check the points chart to see how close we were to placing. They all crowd up there, and push me out of the way, so I patiently wait for my turn. It's dead silent as all the guys turn around with anger in their eyes, causing me cower under their stares.
"What the heck, Cole! We placed last because of you!" Jay exclaims slightly pushing me backwards.
"What?" I ask, as the guys move so I can look at the points.
The world seems to stop as I look at the list. I get past the others names, and my heart stops beating when I finally find my name. Now I see why they are so angry. I scored the lowest out of the 5 of us... I scored the lowest out of everyone here.
"Maybe you shouldn't of even participated! That would've been better for us!" Yells Lloyd yanking me backyard by my collar.
"Look guys, I'm sorry! I don't know why I scored so low! I thought I did good! I tried my best!" I say putting my hands up in surrender.
"Obviously your best wasn't good enough! Then again, when is it ever." Jay yells, spitting in my face.
I wipe the spit from my face, while Lloyd comes up in front of me, and Jay and Kai goes on either side, grabbing my arms.
"What are you doing? Please let go of me!" I say trying to break out of their grasp.
"You're the earth ninja, so let's see if you can handle a punch from me to remain on the team." Lloyd says before punching me in the gut.
I double over while Lloyd continues to punch me. When the other two finally let go, I sink to my knees, grabbing my stomach.
"Surprise, surprise... Boulder Brain can't cut it at being a ninja." Kai says pushing me over.
"What are your problems ?! I just had an off day! I'm only human!" I say trying to pick myself up.
"Every day is an off day for you. You can no longer use the excuse that you are only human. You have been using that for years, and I have not noticed any improvement. You are a disappointment!" Zane spits at me.
"You too, Zane?" I ask crying as I realize everyone is against me.
"Look at Cole being a crybaby. If you wanna cry, we'll give you something to cry about! Get him guys!" Jay exclaims.
The guys start beating me up as the tears stream down my face. Zane punches me in the face, before my whole world fades to black.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Cole! Cole! Wake up!" (Y/N) shakes me awake.
I quickly sit up and look around the room before realizing it was just a dream.
"Why are you crying?" She asks wiping the tears from my eyes.
I reach up and feel my damp face... I have been crying. This dream must've gotten to me worse than I thought. I take a deep breath before answering her question.
"I had a nightmare. That's all. No big deal." I say rubbing my arms, and trying to laugh it off.
She looks at me with the I'm not buying it face, and brings me into a hug.
"I know you're lying Cole, but I'm here for you whether you decide to talk about it or not."
I lean into her, and think about whether to tell her or not, but the more that the nightmare replays in my head, more tears fall down my face. She gives me a quick reassuring peck on the forehead.
"It must've been bad to make you cry."
"Um... promise not to laugh at me?" I ask her.
"I promise."
"Well we were at an elemental competition, and I placed very last. The guys were telling me how much of a disappointment I am, and how I can't cut it as a ninja. Kinda like dad did when I didn't want to follow in his footsteps."
She sits there and looks at me with sympathy in her eyes, and brings me tighter to her.
"I'm probably a disappointment for a boyfriend aren't I?" I ask avoiding eye contact.
(Y/N) tilts my chin up to look at her, and says, "Cole Brookstone, you are not a disappointment, nor are you a failure. You are the best ninja, and boyfriend I know."
I finally relax when she kisses me passionately, knowing she'll always be there for me.
"Thanks (Y/N), you always know what to say. You're the best girlfriend anyone could ever ask for."
"You're welcome. I'd do anything for you, Cole. I love you!"
I feel her slowly start to drift into a peaceful sleep, and smile down at her, as her grip around me loosens. I re-situate us, and cover us both up with the blankets, before wrapping her up in my arms, and drifting off to sleep.
Lloyd
"Hello!" I cry out in the darkness around me.
"Hello, my son!" Says my father, but when I turn to look at him it's the evil version.
"No... no... this isn't real." I say covering my ears, and running.
I soon run into the overlord, and he laughs. "I see you have returned for me."
"No. I-I-"
Then Morro pops up out of no where. "Hello, Lloyd. Nice to see you again."
"No get away from me!" I say and run again.
I stop and catch my breath for a minute and I hear Nadakhan chuckle beside me. "I bet you wish this would all go away."
"No... never again!"
The vermilion warrior generals are coming up on my other side.
I try to run again, but I'm surrounded by all my past enemies.
"Look, at little Lloyd. So defenseless." Says Morro.
"I am not!"
"You can't even protect your friends." Says Nadakhan flying around me.
"What do you mean?"
"See for yourself." He says moving out of the way so I could see.
I see all the guys laying on the floor of the monastery, unmoving. I want to cry, but I can't let them see it.
"NINJAGO!!" I yell and start to do spinjitzu, but I'm tripped up by Morro's wind, and fall on my butt.
"See, that's why you don't have a kid protect all of Ninjago." My dad says laughing, and the others join in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I jump with a start, and yell a little.
"Lloyd?" I hear (Y/N) yell as she runs to my bed. "What's wrong? Are you hurt?"
I chuckle at her concern.
"No, I'm fine. I just had a nightmare is all."
She pulls me to her and starts kissing my face. "What was it about?"
"It's complicated. All my past enemies were insulting me, and I just wanted them out of my head."
"It's ok Lloyd. Look at me. We're all fine, and none of them are here. It was just a nightmare."
"I know it's just... I have dreams like that more than I'd like to." I say a tears slipping down my cheek.
"Lloyd, it's ok. Some people have that happen. It's ok, I'm here for you."
I hug her tightly, "Thanks (Y/N). I don't know what I'd do without you."
"I don't know either." She says and laughs.
We slip under the covers together, and fall asleep in each other's arms.
Here we go this chapter is done. I'll start working on When The Others Catch You Making Out, and hopefully I'll have it posted by the end of this month. Thanks for reading, and feel free to leave your opinions down in the comments!
