I only own my OC.

Kara's POV

In. Out. In. Out.

I walk out onto the stage, my blue-grey eyes nearly blinded by the lights, getting hot on my black hair.

Just like when you and the gang were competing for the blade cup, and when you-No. Don't think about that. Don't think about them. Don't think about him.

I grimace and wave slightly as the music starts.

In. Out. In. Out.

I start to sing.

I remember tears streaming down your face

When I said, "I'll never let you go"

When all those shadows almost killed your light

I remember you said, "Don't leave me here alone"

But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight

Tears fill my eyes.

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Don't you dare look out your window, darling,

Everything's on fire

The war outside our door keeps raging on

Hold on to this lullaby

Even when music's gone

Gone

This was our song, the one we wrote together.

Just close your eyes

The sun is going down

You'll be alright

No one can hurt you now

Come morning light

You and I'll be safe and sound

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La

La La

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

Oooh, Oooh, Oooh, Oooh

La La

He would always hold me while we sang it.

Just close your eyes

You'll be alright

Come morning light,

You and I'll be safe and sound...

Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh oh oh.

I sadly smile when I finish, and the crowd applauds.

"Miss Kara Smith everybody!"

That's not my name. At least, half of it isn't.

I don't want to be doing this.

"No, you guys, are amazing. Thank you. You too!"

Get me out of here.

I walk off, grinning and waving like a hooligan.

I'm finally done. It's finally over with.

(AN: I'm just going to put these for line breaks)

I sit in the chair in front of my dressing table, crying quietly.

I can't keep doing this.

I glance at the photo of all of us. Sensei Wu looking startled at the camera, tea cup at his lips. The rest of us are posing to the right of him. Jay and Nya in a sideways hug, the former grinning like a maniac. Lloyd, my best friend, making bunny ears behind Zane, completely oblivious and smiling slightly.

Zane.

I trace his face gently with my finger. One of my best friends. My brother. I let my finger drop. He's dead now. I move my eyes along before I can start to cry even more. The next person sends a flood of unidentifiable emotion through me.

Kai

The guy who I once thought my brother by blood. My twin brother. Or so I thought, before I found out I was adopted. Then, he just, rejected to have anything to do with me. I can't blame him though. I frown and blink away the tears before I move on to the next face.

Me.

In that photo, I am someone else. I am happy, carefree, hopeful. In love. That was before I found out love didn't exist, not for me anyways. Before the trip to Borg industries. Before the Nindroids. Before the train. Before… before…

I snap out of it, and move onto the next face.

Cole.

He has his arms around me, his head resting on top of mine. This time I can't stop the memory, or the tears.

I wonder round the train, looking for my boyfriend. I bump into Jay, who says he's looking for Nya, before wondering off into another Carriage.

"Well, don't tell Jay or Kara."

There! His voice! I peak my head through the door, only to be greeted with a sight that would shatter me. Cole… and Nya… about to kiss…

Betrayal. Utter betrayal is all I can feel. Betrayal from my sister, and my boyfriend. Jay pushes past me, oblivious to what just unfolded. I follow him, tears threatening to spill as I stand next to him, arms folded.

"Heh, tell us what?"

The innocence is portrayed in his voice. But I'm not as oblivious as him. I fix the ones I once trusted the most with the harshest glare I can, watching their eyes light up with surprise. They know I know. I can barely look at Cole, before I retreat from the carriage into a world of mental anarchy.

"The team need you now more than ever."

I start, shooting out my chair, whipping round into a fighting stance, quickly wiping my tears as I do so. Heh, I love reflexes. I glare at the silhouette in the shadows, before it steps out of them. I relax slightly, before scowling. Lloyd. I sigh slightly, before turning back to the table.

"Why should I? I refuse to fight beside Cole OR Kai, and I've had enough heartache and betrayal for a lifetime. The exit's behind you. How did you get in anyways?"

I imagine Green bean rolling his eyes, before he clears his throat.

"You used to be better at comebacks than that. More free-spirited too. What happened to the Master of Air? My best friend the Air-head? The Laugher? The dreamer?"

My scowl lessens.

"Lloyd, that was Kara Smith, Master of Air,"

I see Lloyd smiling in the mirror. He thinks he's won me over.

"Naïve idiot too stupid to realise what was happening between her own 'sister' and boyfriend, that she was adopted, and that the world can be cruel. Who now doesn't even know her last name!"

His smile fades. Before he sighs in defeat and pulls up his ninja mask.

"If you change your mind Kara, you know where I'll be."

He disappears. I look at the piece of paper he left pinned to the wall.

Mister Chen's noodle house, Tournament street, 8:00.

Lloyd.

I sigh and roll my eyes at myself as I change into casual clothing.

I might as well. What's the worst that could happen? Get attacked by thugs, find out Zane's alive, and go to some mysterious island? Psh, no way.

I climb out of the window; hood pulled up, and jump out onto the street below. The last thing I need are people on my tail.

Review!
