A/N: Hey readers. NG back with another story. THIS ONE IS ALL WRITTEN OUT! So, yeah, hopefully no long hiatus on this one. Hope you enjoy!
"I never liked you, anyway." With those words, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl shoved Zane off a skyscraper. This can't be her, this can't be her, the nindroid tried to convince himself, as he plummeted to his death. "No," he whispered. "No, no no no…"
"NO!" Zane yelled, sitting up in bed. It's just one of those nightmares again, he thought, relieved. Still, they got more and more vivid, more and more realistic. The strangest thing was that he had no idea what triggered the nightmares, or even what they meant.
Looking around, as if he was making sure he was in bed and not falling off a skyscraper, he noticed that his clock said that it was three in the morning.
Groaning, he let his head fall back onto the pillow. He sat up again when he heard a knock on the door. It either could've been Jay- who was in the room next to his- or Alicia- who was across the hall. The nindroid desperately hoped it was the former.
Zane opened the door to find two extremely worried ninja. "Are you okay?" Jay whispered. "I am fine," the Titanium Ninja answered. Alicia gave him a doubtful look. "Nightmares again?" she asked.
Zane started to shake his head, but decided against it and nodded. He knew that Alicia would never be fooled by that.
"I never liked you, anyway." Zane cringed as he remembered the hateful words. The worst part about it was that his team was never there.
The Master of Ice glanced fearfully at his sister. She seemed different from the one in his nightmares, but he couldn't place his finger on it.
Alicia closed her bedroom door and sighed. Something was off about Zane, and not just his usual weirdness. No. He was plain off.
Alicia had started picking up on his odd behavior about a week ago. He had started avoiding her- leaving the room when she walked in, meditating when she was training and vice versa, and sitting as far away from her as possible at the dinner table.
Alicia had tried to find out what was going on with her teammate, but couldn't figure it out. The only thing she could ever get out of him was something about nightmares. Shaking her head, Alicia went back to bed.
She heard a crash and whipped around. Two dark figures jumped in through her broken window. Alicia got ready to fight when they lept on her, covering her mouth with tape and chaining her hands and feet together with vengestone cuffs.
There was also another girl who, at first glance, made Alicia think she was looking into a mirror. She, of course, was missing the cream colored streak in her hair. Alicia recognized the girl. It was Keres, the Master of Spirits.
"Hello there, Alicia,"she said sweetly- too sweetly. "Fancy meeting you here. Shame you won't be around to know what happens to your oh-so-precious team. But, Leonna is going be back soon, and I don't want to miss it. With any luck, her father will come back as well. Tis a shame, tis a shame…"
Alicia tried to ask a few questions, but was unable due to the tape. She, instead, just simply glared at the other girl. Keres put her hand on the other girl's shoulder. Alicia felt cold in that area. Keres had absorbed some of her spirit.
Keres smiled cruelly. "Oh, foolish Alicia," she taunted. "One of these days, you're going to realize that love is nonexistent. That trying to love is a lost cause. Love is never returned." Keres turned to the others in the room. "Take her away!" she barked.
Alicia was thrown out her bedroom window and into the arms of some more guards waiting below. Keres smiled. Everything was going according to plan. She quickly listened to the spirits of her enemies. All of them were sleeping peacefully except for the titanium one. He was sleeping restlessly.
She grinned as she took the place of her prisoner. This was going to be good.
