When He Once Was

Dojo landed and the breath caught in my throat. Raimundo, Omi and, Clay climbed off of the dragon and started searching. I was the only one still on him and I couldn't seem to get off. Dojo turned his neck to look at me.

"Hey Kim, are you going to help?"

"Huh?" I snapped back into reality. "Oh, yeah, sorry." I climbed off and I slowly walked away. I looked back but Dojo was small again. I looked around and saw Omi and Clay searching. I couldn't make myself look at Raimundo. I looked down and the tears blurred my eyes, I walked to the edge of the cliff, this is exactly where Raimundo chose to be evil.

I tried to fight the tears but soon they were flowing, just as my memories of that day were. Raimundo had won the Xiaolin Showdown; the reversing mirror was his prize. I cheered, I always cheer when Rai wins a showdown. Then in one split moment Raimundo was evil. He had chosen to go to the Haylin side to be with Wuya.

I had never been so hurt in my life, I was devastated. When we went back to the temple all I wanted to do was cry myself to sleep. I tried, but I couldn't sleep. I found myself wandering around, I somehow ended up here. There was one thought that ran through my mind the whole time. I kept pushing it away but it kept coming back, it kept bugging me. I wanted to jump, don't ask why. I thought that my life was over, my best friend was gone. I don't know what I was thinking or why but my foot went over the edge. Then there was a strong gust of wind that pushed me back on the ground. I knew then that he would never stay evil. Raimundo was still my best friend; he would always be there for me.

"Kim, let's go, we found the wu!" I heard Raimundo call. I turned to look at him and smiled. Raimundo smiled back at me and I felt better, I knew my world was all right. I had Raimundo back and this time he was mine. I wasn't going to let the Haylin take him from me again.
