I walked in Caden's room with the tea.

"Cades?" I asked.

"hey, sis." Caden said, raspily. "How are you?"

"Worried about you honestly, Cades. Here I brought you some tea." I said.

"Thanks." He croaked out. "You're a good kid, Tora. Lemme guess, Claire had to go to (ACHOO!) work?"

I sighed. "Yes. She did. Kinda tired of her leaving...but, whatta ya gonna do?" I said trying to be cheery.

Caden smirked. "Make sure she doesn't leave? " then he coughed s little.

He hated it when Claire left. Kinda made him feel useless, I guess. Dunno why, he just feels that way. Probably cause of our parents, or somethin'. I feel real bad for him whenever he's like this. Sometimes it's better to just not know someone all that well, I guess.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny. So are you feeling better?" I asked, rolling my eyes.

"Yes, kind of. I have a migraine though. As usual." Caden said, trying to crack a grin.

"Sorry bout that, brother...I'm sure you'll be better by tomorrow." I tried.

"I better!(cough cough)heh. I'm just gonna rest." Caden rasped out and rolled over.

I rubbed my brothers back gently and sighed. I wonder why we can't just be normal, like regular kids.

I walked through the forests by our home. I find myself here a lot.

I sat in a huge tree. It always seems to be my best option whenever I'm upset. Claire's home now, it's around six. Glad she is, I just...HAD to get out of there. It's really upset when I see Caden sick, or hurt.

I reached into my makeshift backpack, took out 'Hope In The Dark', and began to read.

"'Hope always thought of herself as a loner. She wandered through the woods, often searching for an adventure...away from her dark home. As she walked she suddenly bumped into a handsome stranger. "Hey watch- it..." The boy began. He had blonde hair, night blue eyes, and was in a knight outfit.

"Apologies." Hope said-"

I read in my mind, when I was jerked out of my thoughts to here someone coming through.

I jumped down from my tree, flipping and nailing the landing, not to brag, to see the blonde boy from the shop. He looked a little startled.

"Oh- it's you." He said.

I grinned sheepishly. "Sorry if I startled you. What are you doing here?"

The blonde shook his head. "You-you didn't. I just needed to clear my head...after all that's happened to me recently. Needed to take a break from being the green ninja, you know?"

I was slightly confused. "Um..no I don't, actually. Never even heard of a 'green ninja', but if it means having powers, I've been there."

He looked down. "Ah- hey. How's your brother?" He asked me.

I smiled. "Better. The tea helped-" I began, then smacked my head. "Where is my head today? We're carrying online we're neighbours, but we don't even know each other's name!" I said then laughed nervously.

The boy nodded. "I guess you're right. I'm Lloyd Garmadon, green ninja. I'll explain later. Sorry about keeping you in the dark about that." Lloyd chuckled nervously.

I giggled. "Don't worry Lloyd, it's fine. I just...don't normally see people other than my siblings. My name is Tora Hail-storm, Certified orphan of wind." I smiled bowing.

"Nice to meet you Tora...I better go, the guys will get worried about me. I'll see you later." Lloyd waved.

I grinned. "Okay-wait...YOU'LL never COME BACK?" I asked.

Lloyd smiled. "Of course. I need to know what a 'orphan of wind' is, no don't I? Bye Tora."

I grinned. "Bye, Lloyd."

As he left I thought "This guy is strange, but in a good way. Maybe we could even be friends."

I can't wait to see him again!
