Hello everyone, this is Kiwi. I am back with my sequel to Shifting Winds, so if you're reading this and haven't read that yet you should probably go check that out. You don't have to if you don't want to, but you will be completely and utterly confused. Just a fair warning. :)

So this first chapter is really short. I'm kind of testing the waters with it. I have a vague, major plot planned out, but I wanted to see how this went over with everyone before I really started to continue the story. I do not own any characters in Ninjago or Ninjago itself, however I do own Laurie and this new OC who...well you'll see a little later. Please, enjoy.


Chapter One: Wake-Up Call

"Wake up or else you're going to be late for training." A small boy dressed in green was practically jumping up and down at the foot of the bed where a girl lay. She groaned, pulling the covers over her fiery red hair. Lloyd frowned, jumping off of the bed. "Suit yourself. Kai made breakfast special, just for you" he smirked, leaning against the wall on the opposite side of the room.

Laurie shot out from under the covers, her cheeks blushing. "I'm up!" she gasped, looking around the room. Her eyes rested on her brother, her face falling. "No one else is here except us" she growled, burying her face into her pillow. Lloyd was constantly teasing Laurie about her growing relationship with the red ninja, but he seemed to ignore the fact that she had saved him from becoming a Serpentine only four months before. Sighing, Laurie sat up and threw her legs over the side of the bed. "I'm up" she repeated, lifelessly.

"Everyone was here earlier and Kai did make breakfast, but you slept through it" Lloyd shrugged. "It's time for training and we have to go down to Dareth's Dojo". The green ninja left through the main apartment door. "Oh and take a shower before you come" he smirked, poking his head back around the door frame. "We don't want to catch your cooties!"

"Get out!" Laurie shouted, throwing her pillow at her brother. It hit the wall and knocked over a Ming vase that was sitting on a low lying shelf. The piece of pottery shattered on the ground. "Great" she said sarcastically, crossing the room to pick up the pillow, "Sensei is going to kill me when he sees this". Frustrated, the girl left the shards of blue and white glazed clay on the floor as she went to change into her orange shinobi shozoko, the traditional uniform of the ninja.

"Ugh, I wish Lloyd would have woken me up earlier" she growled, tying her long hair back in a sloppy ponytail. With quick work, she pulled on her mask and grabbed the wooden bō staff that hung on the wall above her bed. Going through a quick mental checklist, the ninja bolted for the door, shutting it tight behind her. She did not notice the clay pot that sat back on the shelf that it had fallen from, completely fixed.

A girl materialized on the orange ninja's bed, her long lavender hair thrown over her right shoulder. She smiled wickedly, showing two pointed fangs, and traced patterns on the bed spread with a thin finger. "Laurie Garmadon" she snickered, her indigo eyes resting on the vase she had fixed, "I am going to make your life a living hell". The girl disappeared, leaving a slight indent on the orange ninja's bed spread.


I just now figured out how to use the horizontal lines, so I'm going to use them now. XD

Who could this mysterious girl be and why does she have it out for Laurie? Please R&R to tell me what you guys think. I'm actually kind of discouraged to write this because I don't know if anyone will like it or not.
