Nya's POV
Oh no. It can't be true. I'm only seventeen! Jay is eighteen, we're too young to take care of a baby. I break down sobbing. Jay knocks on the door. "Hey Nya, could I come in? Are you okay?" "I'm about to leave." My words are muffled as I answer. I stand up and look at my stomach. It's hard to think that there is a living person growing in me. For now though, I have to tell Jay. He hugs me as I leave. "What is it?" I start to pull him to my room so we can't be heard, Kai cannot know, or he'll kill Jay.
When we get there, I lock the door and breakdown on Jay's lap. He tries to comfort me, but he doesn't know what's wrong. "It's okay Nya, can you tell me what's wrong?" I meet his worried blue eyes. I mumble an answer, but he can't hear me. "What was that?"
"I'm pregnant Jay." His eyes get huge and he looks like a kid at a fair.
"I always wanted to start a family with you Nya! The sooner the better!" I giggle. His face falls as he realizes something. "Kai is gonna kill me." I raise an eyebrow.
"He better not, I'm not going to be a single mom!" We laugh and joke around for a while when his face lights up a bit, then falls. I'm curious. "What did you think of Jay?"
"It's stupid."
"C'mon, tell me!"
"Fine!"
"I'm waiting!"
"Well...I thought that...maybe...we could run away? Together?"
"That's a great idea!"
"You really think so?"
"'Course I do Jay, now, we should leave in three days, at midnight."
"Why then?"
"Because it would be on a Friday evening, so they'll sleep in, which means we can go further. We'll keep supplies in here."
"Yes ma'am!"
"Let's go soldier!" We start giggling. Someone knocks on the door. Jay gets it. Zane is wearing his pink apron, which means he cooked. "Dinner is ready. I made tacos." Yes! I love tacos! Jay and I race to the kitchen.
Three days later, at midnight
Nya's POV
We each had a backpack filled with food, water, medicine, weapons, and tools. I had hidden them under my bed until now, so no one found them. We slipped quietly off the Bounty, careful not to wake the other ninja. We headed West, so the sun would be at our backs. We not only walked west, but towards our future.
I thought about ending it here, but I decided to give you loyal readers a mini-chapter! It's about the remaining ninja's reactions to Jay and Nya missing.
The next day, Kai's POV
I woke up early for a Saturday. My clock reads 9:42, I usually sleep till noon, but something feels….wrong. I look around the room. Cole is cuddling a plush cake toy. Perfect blackmail material, I'll take a photo later. Jay isn't in his bed. Zane is-WHAT? WHERE IS JAY?! HE BETTER NOT BE IN NYA'S ROOM! I stomp out of the room and down the hall to find Nya's door…..open. Weird, it usually is closed, but maybe Jay left it open WHEN HE SNUCK INTO MY SISTER'S ROOM! I look into her room to find her bed empty. Not good. I run back to the bedroom. " GUYS WAKE UP! JAY AND NYA AREN'T IN THEIR BEDS! I CAN'T FIND THEM!" I successfully wake everyone up. Cole hit his head on the bunk above him. He glares at me while rubbing his head. Zane asks a good question: "Are they even on the ship?" We drop by Lloyd's room to wake him up and search the entire ship. We meet up on the deck afterwards. No luck. The most conclusive thing comes from Zane: "My heat scanners show that they have not been in their beds for over nine hours." Weird. I collapse on deck, exhausted, Cole and Lloyd copying me. Zane remains alert, scanning the forest around us. He gets up all of a sudden and looks at something on the ground next to the ship. "Kai, Cole, Lloyd, come here. I found something." I jump up and run over. There are two sets of footprints leading from the bounty. I look at the others. "They probably went for a midnight stroll and got kidnapped. We need to tell Sensei."
Sorry that the mini-chapter stinks. I noticed I used a lot of dot-dot-dot's and caps. I know they didn't do much, but I was just trying to get the reactions across. I know this chapter is pretty short, I'll work on the length, but I hope it explains what's happening. If you have ideas for the story, feel free to share them with me, I'm not really sure where this is going.
