Chapter 2- Betrayal

After about 10 minutes, I finally made it to the ninjas' academy. The odd thing was, I didn't see any people on my way there. When I looked up though, I saw that everyone was in hover cars or airborne buses. I strode through the archway, then decided to check if they were home. I made my way to one of the windows and peeked through. There was Cole alright, and he was holding hands with...wait what? The girl, Nya! He was holding hands with Nya! I stepped away from the window in disbelief. I had run for 10 minutes just to make sure he was okay, and he was busy flirting with the samurai? I narrowed my eyes, and decided to make my entrance the old fashioned way. I walked around the corner to the door. I looked down at my necklace from Cole. I thought about ripping it off, then decided to see if what I saw was actually the real thing. I pushed the door open, making it slam into the wall perpendicular to it. I sighed as I saw a huge crack was now running up it. I traced my hand down the crack and used my powers to fix it, then I put my angry face back on. I strode through the different classrooms until I finally came to the doorway I was looking for. I looked inside and saw Cole, Nya, and Jay. Nya was looking pretty embarrassed. "Scarlet!" Cole exclaimed, "You're here!" Without saying anything, I walked over, grabbed his shoulders, and shoved him against the wall. "Tell me one thing," I whispered menacingly, "Are you actually happy that I am here or do you just want me to leave so you can finish your, quote on quote, business, with Nya?" "What are you talking about?" Cole stammered. "I saw you two holding hands," I said with my eyes narrowed, "Is she just better than me, or do you care more about beauty?" "Nya was just being nice to me!" he protested. "I saw those puppy dog eyes you were giving her and the ones she was giving you," I growled. I realized I was holding him about a foot off the ground. I sighed, then put him down. "Tell you what," I murmured sadly, "I'll just leave and never come back. You can have Nya and I'll just be forever alone, literally forever!" Before he could see my tears, I ran out of the room, then out of the academy. I ran and ran, not caring where I was going, but just wanting to get away from Cole. He had broken my heart. I had believed in his promise, then became immortal, but apparently the fact that I wasn't there 24/7 wasn't good enough for him, so he found another girl, one who already had a boyfriend. I stopped running and realized I didn't know where I was. There was a small park with trees and a pond in front of me. It was surrounded by the city. I stepped up to the pond and knelt beside it. I looked at my reflection and saw my puffy eyes and tear streaked face. I removed the spell that hid my true identity, then watched as my eyes got darker, my hair turned deep red, and the black dress I was wearing changed to the red one. I looked at my arms and saw they had retained their pinkish color. Maybe Cole just didn't like who I really was. I splashed the pond, making my reflection break. "You're just going to have to deal with it!" I shouted into the sky. I brought my knees up to my face as I thought about Cole. Did he know how much he was hurting me right now? He was my first kiss and my last. He was the only boy in Ninjago whom I thought I could have a future with. That was just my fantasy though. I grasped my necklace, then before I could have second thoughts, ripped it off my neck. I watched as several of the diamonds fell onto the sidewalk. I gathered up all the parts, then crawled to the nearest tree. I dug a hole, about a foot deep, then dropped the broken necklace into it. I began to sob as I pushed the dirt back so it covered the hole. With my magic, I drew a red teardrop on the dirt. Suddenly, there was a clanging noise. I flipped around, but didn't see anyone. I stood up and slowly made my way to the road. I looked around, then noticed a sewage hole in the road. The cover was slightly off. I walked to it, then pulled the cover off completely. There were rungs leading to the bottom. Carefully placing the cover back, I made my way down the rungs into the darkness below.

Yeah...I wasn't too happy when Ninjago did the whole Jay vs. Cole with Nya thing...apparently Scarlet wasn't either! So what do you think this hole leads to? How do you think Scarlet and Cole's relationship will turn out? As always, thanks for reading!:) A new chapter will be posted next week!
