Third story! Wow! I'm not even done with the second. (Well I am but not when I started this...) So I hope you enjoy it!
Alex, Lloyd, and Lucas were on the Ultra Dragon with Sensei Wu. "Are you sure we're going the right way?" Lloyd asked.
"I am sure," Wu said.
"Yeah, I'm starting to reconize some of the forest... kinda," Alex mumbled.
"Kinda?" Lucas questioned.
"Well it's hard to memorize an area when you weren't allowed outside because of a snake," Alex said, glancing at Sensei Wu.
"That was your father's rule," he reminded her. "I only enforced it."
"Yeah, well obviously not e-" Lucas was cut off when he saw the monastery's ruins. "Oh gosh..."
Lloyd landed the Ultra Dragon in the middle of what should've been the courtyard. "The Hypnobrai did this?" he asked, looking over the burnt wood. He knew they burnt down the monastery but this was his first time seeing it.
"Everything's just... the training course, the kitchen, the living room..." Alex said, looking around.
"My room," Lucas murmured. "Everything I thought about looking forward to in the Underworld. It's all gone." He looked to his sister. "What was in your room when..."
"My room should've been empty," she said. "I packed everything when Mom took me to Ninjago City to live."
Lucas nodded. "At least we know one thing is okay."
Alex smiled a little. "Yep."
"To the library!" the two said in unison. They hurried down what should've been the hall. Alex grabbed an old board and moved it out of the way, revealing a door.
"I nearly forgotten," Wu said as he and Lloyd followed. "I knew you two needed to be the ones to open that door again. I saw it in the spirit smoke."
"Then on three," Alex said. "One."
"Two."
"Three!"
The two pulled on the old door, lifting it up. Dust flew up, causing everyone to cough. "So, what's so special about the library? I've never seen Alex read since she showed up on the Bounty," Lloyd mumbled.
"The library was where Lucas and I studied," Alex informed him. "And I don't read because... I'm very picky about my books."
"Oh, Alex just tell him," Lucas said, nudging his sister. "What happened to not keeping secrets from family?"
"Ug, fine!" Alex exclaimed. "I'm dyslexic! Happy?"
"Very," Lucas smirked.
"You're dylexic?" Lloyd gaped. "How come you never told me?"
Alex shrugged. "You never asked." She started down the stairs into the library, heading to one of the aisles. She looked at all of the scrolls, each with a different symbol. Her eyes stopped on one. "Uncle!" she called. "Remember that scroll from when I was seven?"
"The one you wrote?" Wu asked, walking down the aisle she was in. "Yes, we burned it long ago."
"Then how..." Alex picked up a scroll and studied it. She opened it and read it to herself. She tensed up, dropping it onto the floor. "How..."
Wu picked it up and looked over it as Lucas and Lloyd walked up behind him. "We burned this," Wu mumbled. "I know we did."
"What's so bad about a scroll Alex wrote?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah," Lloyd agreed. "How bad could it be?"
"You don't understand," Alex said, feeling herself becoming light headed. "I was seven. It was after Lucas was taken. In the scroll is... Let's just leave it at I wrote some pretty awful prophecies and stories. I was young so it wasn't that bad..."
"Alex," Wu said, putting his hand on her shoulder. "This is not your writing. You would occasionally leave a small line between two symbols. This one is completely clean."
"Then who would rewrite it?" Alex asked. "Who knows word for word what I wrote and what..."
There was a loud crash from upstairs. Everyone ran upstairs, but nothing seemed out of place. "Weird..." Lloyd mumbled. "I could've sworn..."
Alex swiped the scroll from Wu. "'And the crash inside the ruins will indicate the beginning,'" she read softy.
"Wait, someone's trying to create your story and prophecy?" Lucas guessed. "Uh, how does it end?"
Alex felt like she was going to faint. "'The era for the ninja ended..." She gulped. "And darkness took over."
Dun dun dun!
Lucas: What just happened?
Jay: Why wasn't I in that chapter?
Cole: Yeah! What's up with that?
Maybe because I didn't write it that way.
Alex: You already saw the ruins of the monastery!
Lloyd: It's your fault it burned down.
Kai: Says the boy who released the serpentine who burned it down.
Zane: You might want to review before this gets out of hand. Don't flame!
Zoey: I do not even think Kai can flame this!
