Hey everybody! ZLF88 here! Here's a challenge for me… Updating and working on 5 stories at a time… Some of you are able to do it but me? I can't so that's my goal! Anyway, on with the story!

Chapter 1

Sensei Wu's POV

I entered through the door with my hands behind my back. The interior wasn't too bad for an orphanage. The walls had yellow wallpaper giving a warm feeling. I walked over to the desk.

"Oh, Hello. You must be Wu," A lady said to me.

"Yes, and you must be Hanon," I said. She stuck her hand out and I shook it polity. She had grey hair done in a messy bun with a pen sticking out and dark brown eyes.

"Please, take a seat," She said and I sat down on the chair while she sat at the other side of the table. "So, what type of child are you looking for today?"

"Well, my 10 year old nephew is very lonely lately and I just need a child around his age to cheer him up," I informed. I started to think back to Lloyd. I haven't told anyone I was going to adopt a friend for Lloyd. Lately he's very lonely, he's the only 10 year old on the ship and the others are battling each other and Lloyd's the weakest so he can't really train and Nya's busy in the bridge.

"Well, we only have 13 orphans left but sadly all them are girls," she told me. I sighed. This was the only orphanage in Ninjago. The other one got shut down. Lloyd would be fine with a girl right? Maybe they might not get along at first but hopefully Lloyd will learn to get along.

"That's alright," I replied and smiled. She then opened a draw and pulled out some files.

"Ok, these are the files to the remaining girls in the orphanage. Maybe you would like to go through them and pick one you would like to adopt,"

"Oh, I'm not really planning to adopt, I'm just happy to take care of her but not as a parent,"

"Oh, I see,"

First file: Emma Wilson Age: 5

Too young. I flicked through all the others files. There was one, 10 years old girl but… it says that she a bit of a trouble maker. I sighed. I looked through each file again. 1…2…3…12?

"Hanon, there are only 12 files, you said there were 13 children,"

"Yes there are 13 children but… this girl, I don't think she will make a great child to adopt…"

"But is it alright if I can see the file?" she nodded and slip one out of the drawer and passed it too me.

Name: Primrose Mendler Age: 10

"So what's wrong with this child?" I asked. I heard her took a deep breath.

"She doesn't talk at all, doesn't matter how hard we try. She will write but only to the people she trust and so far that me and the staff of the orphanage,"

"How long was that?"

"2 years," I bit my lip but I can see the potential in this little girl.

"But can she talk?"

"Yes she can but we never heard it before. She claims she can. Since she had been dropped off at the orphanage, she had never smiled," she informed. I looked at the sheet. Drop off at the orphanage when she was 6. That was 4 years ago. Just then she placed more paper on the table accept it was crumbled up. "This is what she had wrote to us… it's not much but we manage to access to her past.

My name is Primrose Mendler. That was the first one

I'm 10

My parents abused me saying I was a waste of time and money. So they dropped me off here.

I can talk but I don't want to

There was more but… I sighed. "We can always pull off the adoption if you want,"

"I think I want adopt this one,"

"B-But Wu… we don't think she's ready for adoption,"

"Please,"

"Alright," she said and stood up and walked to another room. She motioned her hand for me to follow. I got up and followed her. She opened the door to it lead to a big room with little girls playing with each other. There were 12. Hanon walked across the room and a followed until we got to the corner of the room. It was dark and a little figure was curled up in a little ball.

"Prim?" Hanon asked the little girl. Her face lifted up. She had fair skin and hazel green eyes. Her brown hair with specks of gold fell over her face. Her hand moved her hands to move her hair out of her face but her side fringe. "Prim, this is Wu and he's going to adopt you," Hanon said softly and squat down. "Can you go and pack your stuff?" The young girl nodded and scramble on her knees before getting up and running into another room.

"So do we call her Prim for short?"

"Yes, she prefers Prim. I suggested you slowly introduce her to everyone. She is very shy but she is very obedient,"

"I understand," We both walked back to the counter and she handed me Prim's files and I signed a contract. We both heard the sound of footsteps against the wooden floor boards. We both turned around to see Prim enter the room. She had a small black suitcase and a guitar case.

"She plays the guitar?" I asked.

"yes, she does," Hanon replied. "You ready Prim?" The young girl nodded. "I'll let you two be," and Hanon left into the other room.

"Are you ready to go?" I asked. She nodded. This is going to be interesting.

Lloyd's POV

I leaned against the mast and rested my head against it. I watched as the guys were mucking around with their weapons. Uncle Wu was out, Nya's working on her Samurai suit. I had nothing to do. The guys didn't want to teach me. I had so far mastered my quakes elemental and fire but… I'm having trouble with the others. The serpentine are still terrorizing the country and it's my entire fault… Why am I so stupid?

I slowly made my way to the rails. The bounty was at the docks, waiting for Uncle to return. It had been hours since he left. I looked back to see the others mucking around. I quickly jumped over the rails and landed on the sand on both feet.

"Lloyd!" I sighed. They always catch me leaving.

"But Cole! I just wanna walk around!" I complained but I climbed back up and only to see them muck around again. I leaned against the rails again. 30 minutes had past and I finally saw Uncle.

"Uncle!" I shouted and waved my hand. He waved back but there was someone behind him. A young girl, she's around my age.

"Sensei Wu!" I heard the others called his name and they came next to me and waved. We continued to watch them and saw that the girl stopped. Uncle turned around and motioned his hand for her to follow. Who is this girl? Why did Sensei bring her here? Once he got on the bounty, Zane was first to open his mouth.

"Sensei, who's this?" he asked.

"Umm, this is Prim. She's going to be staying with us," he told us.

"Hi Prim, I'm Lloyd. Nice to meet you," I said and hold my hand out… but she didn't shake it. I heard Uncle Wu sigh.

"Well… I'm Kai,"

"I'm Zane,"

"I'm Cole,"

"I'm Jay," We all had introduced ourselves but she didn't say anything.

"Oh sensei! Who's this?" Nya asked as she ran down the stairs.

"Nya, this is Prim. Prim, this is Nya," Uncle Wu introduced.

"Hi," Nya greeted but she didn't say anything. Doesn't she speak? She's being so rude, I mean she can just say hi but no! She doesn't say anything. And why did Uncle even brought her on board?

"Let get you a room," I heard Uncle said and lead her down the stairs.

"She's so rude," I muttered… now I got everyone's eyes on me.

"Lloyd, she may be feeling uncomfortable since she's in a new surrounding and area and meeting new people," Zane said but I choose to ignore him.

"At least she should have said hi," I mumbled and leaned back against the rails.

"I guess Lloyd got a point there," Jay sighed. We all did and then Uncle entered onto the decks… without Prim.

"I need to tell you all something in the bridge," We all followed him. "Ok, I went to the orphanage and-"

"You what?!" We all shouted.

"You heard me. And Prim doesn't talk at all,"

"And why you adopted her?" Cole asked.

"You get Lloyd a friend,"

"At least make it a boy and not a girl who doesn't talk at all," I muttered.

"She does talk… just not often," My uncle defended.

"Have you heard her talk then?" I asked.

"No…"

"I'm leaving, I don't want to hear the rest," I'm pissed. Beyond pissed. A girl? For a friend? And she doesn't talk at all! This time I ran down the stairs and punched the mast. Did I ask for a friend? No! There goes another punch to the mast. Did he tell me about it? No! I punched the mast really hard and fast. 1 after another. I sucked up the pain coming from my white and splintery hands. I draw 1 hand back and looked at it. Splinters. Red. Got the peeling of the paint of the mast. My knuckles were white. There were scratches from the old wood.

I released another punch. Each getting harder. The mast creaked and the wood sounded hollow. I heard the wobble sounds of the sails swaying back and forward. Next, I heard a snap. I looked up to see the sails broke off the mast falling straight towards me. Uncle and the others are in the bridge. They won't be able to save me. I won't die…. But I'll be seriously injured. I hope something insignificant would come and save me. Or a miracle.

Oh dear! Lloyd got himself into some serious trouble. Who would save him? The story will become much better, I promise. Every single one of my stories have a boring 1st chap but it'll be better in the future chapters. Please review!
