Save Her From The Dark

Chapter 1: Fog

"Mr. Walker, we have news." The doctor said in his cold and distant voice that strained to be friendly and comforting. I looked up and my heart choked on its beats.

I got up and walked with him. He led me towards the cafeteria. I wasn't hungry for once. I wasn't functioning. I also felt so many emotions and anger towards Kai at the moment. Where was he when his sister was just through a life threatening incident?

"What is it?" I asked. I was afraid to hear the answer. He wasn't leading me towards her room, it was away. Did this mean that I killed her? I could feel my heart dying in my chest with a slight pulse that begged for good news that contradicted all my previous thoughts.

"Nya will be….physically healed. However, her mind won't let her wake up just yet. She's been having nightmares. I'm no expert on sleeping issues but I know this isn't normal. Whenever she wakes up we'll monitor her for twenty-four hours before dismissal. You may wait by her side." The doctor replied before going to buy his dinner.

I sighed and felt my eyes water. I still couldn't manage a smile. It was as if my mouth muscles were on holiday to the Caves of Light Matter. I couldn't be fully relieved until I saw her for myself.

I practically ran towards her room. When I got there I broke down. I literally sobbed into my blue sleeves. I didn't know whether I was happy or guilty. I had put her here, everyone said but I didn't believe it. I wouldn't have hurt her, surely they knew that?

I latched onto her soft hands. Her veins were a dark purple instead of blue, I noticed. Her color was off. I may just be being paranoid or the sleep was getting to me? Nya was alright, the doc said, then why did it feel like she wasn't?

A few memories shifted back to me but were gone in a blur. It was Kai. He wasn't here because….I couldn't remember why. I strained to pull the memories back but they wouldn't bade to my request. Why couldn't I remember what happened?

I focused on trying to summon the memories. Sensei Wu said patience and concentration were key. However, he never instructed me on how to draw back blank memories. I sat, listening to the heart monitor, the breathing machine, everything keeping her alive, and I waited and concentrated. I didn't know what I was waiting for but I knew it would come to me.

"Jay, how could you?" Kai shouted as he kneeled by his sister who had blood dripping down the side of her mouth.

"What did I do?" I asked. I had blacked out for who knows how long?

Kai stood and shoved me onto my back. Before the guys could stop him he was landing a fist on every inch of me he could get. I didn't understand why. However, deep inside I knew I deserved it. When the ambulance loaded her unconscious and half-dead body onto the truck, I knew I had to go.

Kai yelled but I couldn't hear him as I climbed in the back. The EMT's worked on her while I sat in silence, hoping, waiting, and trying to piece my life together. Everything was as though it was a dream yet, I knew it was reality. Pain only existed in reality. Right?

The memories faded and I knew there was more to the story. If I was blacking out now, that meant I had blacked out before. If I could unlock those memories I could find out what happened! Then maybe I could figure out how to help her. But for now, I wasn't leaving her side.

"It's my fault Nya, but I will do everything in my power to help you." I promised as I clasped her hand.

"Jay!" A scream filled my ears. I shook my head, tried to be rid the voices. Cole's, Lloyd's, Zane's, Kai's, I tried to tune them out. I couldn't. Once the song started, it had to end. Yet this symphony lasted hours.

"Jay! Stop! You're hurting me!" Nya screamed but she was distant. It wasn't me hurting her, was it? It couldn't be. Yet, blacking out doesn't help my case. Why can't I remember?

"Jay, it's time to play." A voice said but I knew then it wasn't my memories. It was something else. I blacked out.

Author's Note:I decided I was going to continue this. These will probably be short chapters and a short story. Anyway, this is my first time attempting to write a mystery. How am I doing? Do I need to stop doing cliffhangers? Sorry, I have a bad habit of cliffhanging every chapter so if that happens I apologize in advance.

Questions:Who or what do you think the voice is? Why can't Jay remember what happened? What do you think happened? Do you believe Jay did it or not? What do you think is going to happen? What will happen to Nya?

3vilM3:Oi! Shut up and get the next chapter up!

Hey, I'm making a rule that I will have the next chapter done before I post a chapter. So I will have chapter 3 done before I post chapter 2. This way I can keep the story rolling somewhat.

3vilM3: Not fast enough.

Keep Calm and Love Ninjago!
