Chapter one: A bad feeling
A/N This fanfic was written about four months ago, and I've improved a lot since I started, so the first few chapters (the ones in this book as well as in the next one) won't have the same quality as the later ones (the ones in book3/4 to where I'm now in the writing) will have or the prologue had. So just bear with me here until then, but one good thing is that these will still have a bit better quality than it had originally. And the mystery person's POVs are newly written which makes them have a bit more quality than the rest of the chapters.
Anyway, enough talking. Let's get on with the story.
I do not own Lego Ninjago, just my OCs
It was early evening in Ninjago. The sun was slowly setting, causing the stars to start showing on the sky, the moon became more and more visible as well.
On the bounty, the ninjas were all relaxing in the living room. Jay, Cole, and Nya were sitting on the couch watching a movie. Lloyd and Zane were talking about some new training routines that could help their fighting technique to get better. Sensei Wu was sipping his tea while reading a book.
And Kai, he was leaning against the wall, thinking. He had been having a strange feeling lately, the feeling like someone was watching him. The others thought he was just restless because there hadn't been any big alarms in about two weeks, mostly small things that people could handle themselves, like helping a cat from a tree, or some people vandalizing the benches in the park.
But Kai knew that wasn't the reason, he couldn't lie, he was restless and bored, but it was not the reason he felt that feeling. He had a history of getting bad feelings ever since the whole thing on Chen's island. But nothing had ever happened, so everyone else thought it was nothing. But recently, the feeling in his gut had gotten worse, and it worried him.
Nya turned her head and saw how her brother seemed bothered by something, "Hey Kai."
Lifting his head Kai looked at his sister, "Yeah?"
"Why don't you come and watch the movie with us."
After thinking about it for a second the brunette then shook his head, "Nah, I think I'll just go to bed. See you guys tomorrow." He then walked out of the living room and into the hallway.
Walking down the hallway towards his bedroom, he couldn't help but think about the incident that happened on Chen's island.
Once he got to the door, he entered the room. His room was a bit warmer than the others', it also had a little bit of smoke smell in the air, but it was understandable when thinking about Kai being the elemental master of fire. His bed stood to the right wall from the door and on the left side of the room he had a small window. At the feet side of Kai's bed, a desk was placed against the wall. The desk had three small drawers and one that was a little bigger. On the desk, there were some notebooks and two photo frames. One was a photo of all the ninjas plus Sensei Wu. And the other was a photo of Kai and Nya with their parents when they were younger. Kai had two posters on the wall over the desk. One was of Kai's elemental symbol. The other was of an electric guitar that Kai was planning to buy. It was black with flames. By the desk, there was a red desk chair. On the wall across the room from the door, was a door leading to Kai's own bathroom. He had gotten his own when they renovated the bounty a few months ago, not everyone had gotten their own bathroom. Jay, Cole, and Zane still had to share. Next to the bathroom door, there was a drawer standing against the wall.
Laying down on his bed, Kai not bothering to get out of his clothes and into his pajamas and go under the cover. So, he just stared at the ceiling, getting lost in thoughts. Without even realizing it, Kai stared at the ceiling for 1 and a half hour. When he finally snapped out of his thoughts, he realized that the others had gone to bed. He was never seen as a guy who would do something like that, but the feeling in his gut made him worried.
The red ninja turned his head to his right and saw the moonlight streaming through the window. He may be the ninja of fire, but he had always loved the moon over the sun. He would choose the night over the day at any time. But very few people thought the same about that as he did, so he had to sleep during the night and stay awake during the day. He had always been a night person, which was something not many people thought.
Suddenly the silence was broken by a wicked chuckle. Kai's eyes widened and he quickly sat up and stared out into his dark room. The window wasn't big enough to light up the whole room, causing some parts of the room to be covered in darkness.
Kai glanced across the dark room, his eyes filled with fear. When the brunette didn't see anything, he thought it must have been his imagination. "I'm more tired than I thought." Laying back down the red ninja tried to fall asleep, but he couldn't shake off the feeling that it hadn't been his imagination, and that someone was really watching him.
...
The next day Kai slept in late. He didn't sleep well, and the others decided to not wake him up.
In about the early afternoon, the master of fire finally woke up.
He woke up with a jerk and it took him a few seconds to realize that he had been dreaming. In the dream Kai had been locked in a small dark room, the room had become colder and colder for every passing minute and Kai had grown weaker and weaker until he passed out and then woke up from the dream.
As he slowed his own breathing, he noticed having a pounding pain in his head which caused him to groan and put a hand on his head. "My head..."
Getting off his bed the brunette walked out the door into the hallway. Hearing some voices coming from the living room, Kai recognized the voices as Nya, Lloyd, and Zane. He walked towards the living room with shaky steps caused by the headache and his vision was somewhat getting a bit blurry.
Walking through the doorway he saw Nya, Lloyd, and Zane sitting on the couch, talking. They all perked their heads in Kai's direction when the floorboards squeaked under the red ninja's feet.
Nya gave her brother a smile that he barely saw because of his blurry vision, "I see the red ninja's finally awake."
Kai took a few steps towards them, "Yeah."
Lloyd then noticed how pale the red ninja was looking, "Kai, are you okay?"
The brunette opened his mouth to respond, but then he heard a terrified scream echo in his head and he didn't even realize he collapsed to the ground until he felt his body hit the floor, his vision was too blurry to make anything out, but he could have sworn he saw a pair of blazing red eyes flash in front of his eyes before everything went dark
A/N Just a quick note, if the text is in italic, then it's ? (his name will be revealed soon) either thinking or talking in his head.
?'s POV
As soon as I opened my eyes, I instantly knew something was wrong. I quickly got to my feet and didn't have to think long before knowing where I was.
I'm in the bounty. I'm in the bounty! How is this possible!? Ignoring my own question, for now, I scanned around the room. But then my eyes stopped on something. It was him. He was lying unconscious on the ground, Nya and Lloyd surrounding him. It didn't take long before the nindroid, Zane, came running in with Sensei Wu shortly after.
The old man slowed down when he pasted the shadowy corner I was hiding in, he even glanced in my direction. I felt a slight unease as our eyes locked for a second before he walked over to the male lying on the floor.
"He doesn't have a fever. He must be having a headache or something. Nya, Lloyd, get him to his room. And Zane, see if you can get ahold of Jay and Cole and tell them about the situation. They don't have to rush back, but they should at least know." Wu said, concern filling his voice.
I couldn't help but growl as they carried him away. Zane soon left to get ahold of the two ninjas who weren't here, leaving me alone with the youngest son of the first spinjitzu master. The old man turned to me and took a few steps towards me, it was then I realized he knew I was here.
"Who are you? " he asked me, seeming to already know the answer.
Shaking my head, I tried to sink deeper into the dark shadows surrounding me, "I don't know."
Wu seemed to dislike my answer while also understanding it. "You're lost, what's your name?"
The question struck me like lightning. "My name?" I don't have a name, I never got one. Does that mean I get to chose my own? Should I have a name? Am I human enough to need a name? "I...I don't have one..."
Nodding, Wu proved to be wiser than I thought, or at least I got that impression when his response reached my ears, "You're not from this world, are you?"
"No, I...I'm not. I don't even know what I am."
"Well, what do you know?"
I fell quiet for a while, something was telling me to respond, but I didn't know what to say. "I know everything, but also nothing." Did I just say that? Was it really me who said it? Or was it someone else? "I...I don't know why I said that..." This time I knew it was me speaking, but I still felt as if something was holding me down to the floor, preventing me from actually control what I said.
"You seem to be at war with yourself. Is there anything I could do to help?" His voice seemed concerned and for some reason, I didn't like the fact he was concerned about me.
"Just stay out of my way." Okay, now I know that wasn't me. The tone and words are enough to prove it. I felt weaker in my head, and suddenly I was no longer in control of my actions or words. I sunk into the shadows and suddenly I was in another location. I got back control, confused about what just happened. But there was one thing I knew.
Something was wrong.
A/N And there it is, the first chapter of this story, so what did you think, please let me know, I'd be happy to hear your thoughts about it.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
Blaze/Bt (don't know which one I should go with, I'll let you guys decide) out!
