Most people know me by Katherine Brookstone, but only certain people know the real me. Everyone has their backstory, but mine is unbelievable and a nuisance. You know the saying "The past is the past and the future is the future"? I wish it was always like that. With my luck though, the past affects my future and my friends. Sometimes I wish I was never born...because if I wasn't...my brother wouldn't be near deaths doorstep... This is the story of my past.
Chapter 1
The sun shines down on me as I twirl a dead flower in between my fingers. Since birth, I've served the serpents of Ninjago and it's been my job as long as I could remember. I hear someone approach me and I whip around baring my scythe at the persons neck.
"Pythor, what's bring you here?" I asked. I lower my scythe and grin at my step father.
"My dear Kali, I'm in need of your assistance yet again..." Pythor said.
"I'm only a ten year old and yet, you need help from me?" I questioned curiously. He slithers to my right and locks eye contact with me.
"Some ninjas have been spotted near Ninjago City, and they're taking out thesnakes there, I need you to end them." He explained to me.
"I've heard about these ninjas before Pythor, why haven't you taken care of them yet?" I eyeball him and he breaks it by turning away.
"Do what your told." He hissed then left me alone.
I turn to the sun, it reflects back in my pure hazel eyes then I breath out and make my way toward the city. I wonder how these "ninja" will be like, maybe they will be worthy opponents and entertain me...only one way to find out... I pull out black dust from my pocket and and throw it down onto the desert sand. A portal forms and I jump into in, suddenly I'm on top of a building in Ninjago City. I search for the ninja, may take a while but I have plenty of time- and that's when I spot them. Hm, pretty bright colors to be a ninja I mean, what kind of ninja wears blue? The black ninja seems stealthy but the others can be spotted from a mile away! This should be easy... I pull out my shiny black scythe and firmly grip it. I jump on the rooftops and make my way to them, seriously this should properly take ten minutes! I land behind the blue ninja and tap on his shoulder.
"Huh?! What?" He turns around shocked then I take my chance and add a little red to his blue suit.
"Jay!" The red ninja shouted he- wait what? He spins...into a tornado and next thing I know, I'm tossed against the wall and locked into battle.
I throw the black dust onto the ground and teleport behind him where I trip the ninja and knock him out with a kick to the face. Two ninja lift me by my arms and think they got me now, instead I flip out of grip then attack with my scythe at the white ninja. My attack is blocked by a golden scythe and I'm stunned, that's when he takes his chance. The black ninja releases his hold and I fall to the ground, being pinned by shurikens.
"Who are you?" The black ninja asked. I turn my head away from him, why doesn't he just kill me? "Who are you?" He asked again in a serious tone.
"Kali Brookstone." I spitted out. He goes pale and exchanges faces with the others.
"I'm Cole Brookstone." He responded. I have...a brother?
"Cole, we'll elaborate about it later, right now we need to get back to the bounty." The white ninja said. Cole nods and he starts to help him carry the other two. I free my hand and toss out some black dust. "Cole!" The white ninja shouted.
He's too late, I ripped off part of my shirt and leaped into the hole. I land hard on the ground back in the desert and have began to breath hard. What just happened? It started out like any other fight then...I discover I have a brother! Pythor lays a hand on shoulder and helps me to my feet.
"How did it go?" He asked. I lower my head and explain everything.
"Why didn't you tell me I had a brother?!" I demanded after I've explained everything.
"Because you were kidnapped as a newborn!" Pythor yelled. Dead silence builds up and I glare at him in disbelief.
"You said I was abandoned and you toke me in by your sympathy, how dare you lie to me?!" I shouted.
He shoots his stare at me and pulls out a needle. I grab for my scythe- I left it with the stupid ninja! He slithers over to me and I trip in the sand, I panic and try to unbuckle the satchel holding my black dust but it's stuck! He plunges the needle into my arm and green liquid enters my body. I feel a pain sweep over me and suddenly my eyes glow into a bright green as the strange substance over takes me.
