Juliet POV
Strangers think I'm quiet.
My friend think I'm outgoing.
My best friends know I'm completely insane.
This applies especially at this particular moment. I'm flipping my head around in every direction while I listen to Thrift Shop covered by Lindsey Stirling and Tyler Ward. My black hair is whipping around, and it probably would've hit a bunch of people in the face if I weren't sitting alone.
At the moment, I'm sitting in a tree, by my childhood best friend's old blacksmith shop. He went off somewhere or other, no one really knows where. 'Specially not me. I mean, when you move away you don't tell your best friend where you're going, right? I hope you detected my sarcasm.
As I swing my head to the music, I notice the sky's growing very, very dark. I pause my music, pulling my ear buds out of my ears. What was going on? It wasn't a storm, but the sky was covered in dark clouds.
"ATTACK!"
My head whips towards where I heard the voice, and I see something unbelievable. "Skeletons?!"
They're getting closer. But why are they here? It didn't matter and I didn't want to find out! I stay completely still, holding my breath. They don't seem to notice me. I feel like a ninja; stealthy as I spy on the enemy. I shift my weight slightly, but I lose my footing and drop my iPod.
As it clatters to the ground below, it's probably broken. But that's the least of my problems. It just revealed my hiding place to an army of skeletons.
Kai POV
When my sister told us the skeletons were back, we weren't that concerned at first. They were an easy opponent. But when I heard they were at our old blacksmith shop, I was intrigued. What could they possibly want?
Upon arrival, it looked just like the day they took my sister. The dark clouds, the mass of skeletons, the screams of the people. But why were they ganging up on that tree? I facepalmed; this just goes to show how truly dumb they are. But on closer inspection, I could make out a petite female figure high in the leafy branches. I needed to save her!
I spinjitzued (not a real word, but I don't care) my way up to them, knocking at least five off their feet. I smirked at them, but of course they couldn't see it, with my mask on. They started to scatter.
I climbed up the tree and looked at the girl. She had black hair in a ponytail that went to her mid back. Her forest green eyes stared at me curiously, but still slightly scared. I looked at her wookie hoodie and realized that I knew her. "Juliet?"
She gasped, obviously recognizing my voice. "Kai!" She tackled me in a hug. Bad idea. We're in a tree! As we tumbled towards the ground, I grabbed a branch and swung us safely to the ground. At first she had a look of pure shock, then she did a double take, and asked, "Since when are you a ninja?"
I scratched the back of my head nervously. This was gonna be a long story.
Unfortunately, I forgot there were still skeletons around. "TAKE THE GIRL!" Samukai cried. Wait, Samukai? I thought he was, like, vapourized from the golden weapons!
Suddenly, Juliet was yanked from her place beside me. I could hear her screaming my name as the skeletons sped away. I was in shock, staring at the empty space where she had been seconds before. My childhood best friend was taken right before my eyes.
Jay POV
I watched as a girl was taken by the skeletons, screaming Kai's name. I spun over to Kai. "Who was that? Your girlfriend?" I nudged the ninja of fire. He just shot me a death glare.
"No, my best friend. And this is such déjà vu!" Kai cried. I remembered that Nya was taken in the same way. Wow, tough luck.
"Dude, we'll get her back," I told him, slapping him on the back. He didn't look convinced. Then again, neither was I.
What's up doc? It's DaffyDuckNinja! This is my first Ninjago fanfiction, so no flames please! Constructive criticism is fantastic though.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Ninjago. Or I would be a rich duck. But Juliet Van Zonder is fully mine; as in my OC.
Love you guys! ~Daffodil (call me Daffy)
