Chapter 2:
Nya's POV:
Wow. Cole's sister is so cute. Cole seems like a great big brother. I guess that's why Cole was asking about the spare room earlier. It was for his sister.
"Hello." Crystal stood at the doorway of the games room where Kai, Jay and Lloyd were playing video games while I was just watching,
"Hi. Crystal right?" I asked, I heard Cole saying it earlier,
"Yep." Crystal confirmed,
"Come take a seat." I offered and she sat down on the couch, next to me,
"So how old are you?" I asked,
"I'm 5 years old." Crystal answered, holding up 4 fingers but quickly realised her mistake and fixed it so she was holding up 5 fingers,
"Nice." I commented, trying to get a conversation started,
"What's everyone else's name? I know Kai and Wu but no one else." Crystal explained,
"Well I'm Nya, that's my brother Kai, that's Jay, that's Lloyd and the other boy wearing white is Zane." I explained, pointing to whose name was who's and to the doorway for Zane,
"You have a brother?" Crystal asked,
"Yep. This clod." I said as I ruffled Kai's hair, messing it up,
"Hey! Don't mess with the hair!" Kai stated as he tried to fix it up, as me and Crystal laughed, he's always cared too much on his hair,
"Why do care about your hair so much?" Crystal asked,
"Because it's awesome." Kai answered,
"It's spikey." Crystal commented, she is adorable,
"Come one Crystal. We need to pick some of your stuff from dad's." Cole called to his sister,
"Cole, why am I staying here? Is daddy ok?" Crystal asked and Cole all of a sudden, he looked very uncomfortable,
"Well…um…dad is very sick at the moment and asked me to look after you." Cole explained, and by the way that he said it, he was struggling to find the right words to use,
"Then shouldn't you be looking after him?" Crystal questioned,
"He has someone looking after him so I'm looking after you." Cole explained,
"Ok." Crystal said and by the look on his face, Cole was so relieved that Crystal didn't ask any more questions. I hope he'll be all right.
Cole's POV:
We flew to dad's and I had a key so I opened the door,
"Ok, go and pack a few bags and remember, only 1 or 2 princess dresses." I told Crystal,
"Ok." Crystal beamed, she's a responsible kid, but she loves her princess dresses. While she packed, I decided to wonder around.
Crystal's POV:
I ran to my room and pulled out my overnight bag and placed it on my bed. Ok, school clothes 1st. I started to pack my clothes and I decided to pack my favourite pink princess dress and my flower princess dress. Ok,
"Hey Crystal." Cole said from my door,
"Hey." I said back, staying with the ninjas is going to be fun but I hope daddy gets better really fast,
"Need help?" Cole asked me,
"What should I pack?" I asked because I need everything in my room. I need all my clothes and you never know when you need to be a princess so all my princess dresses are important, and all my toys are important because what if I get bored.
"What have you packed so far?" Cole asked me,
"I have clothes for a normal day and my pink princess dress and my flower princess dress." I told him,
"Ok. You'll need your pillows and blankets because we have none spare but at the temple." Cole told me,
"What's a temple?" I asked,
"Where me, Wu and the other ninjas live." Cole explained,
"Ok." I smiled at him. We packed my bags and we ended up packing 2 bags.
"Ready to fly off?" Cole asked me,
"Ready." I told him and after he locked the house, his dragon appeared out of nowhere. I hope he can teach me how to do that, but instead of a black dragon, a pink dragon. Pink is my favourite colour.
We flew back to the temple and while we were flying, Cole looked scared about something, I hope he's ok.
Jay's POV:
Cole's sister is nothing like Cole. Crystal is bright and cheerful and she loves my puns. Yet again, I wonder if Cole has told Crystal about Lou. I wonder how she'll deal with it. Cole and Crystal returned with Crystal's stuff,
"Ok. You got it?" Cole asked Crystal who was carrying 2 bags, I'm guessing with her stuff,
"I got it. I have to carry things too if I want to be as strong as you." Crystal stated, cute kid,
"Ok. Take that to your room, do you remember where it is?" Cole asked,
"Yep. I forget, I'll call someone." Crystal reassured and walked off, well from my view, waddled off. Cole came into the game room and held his head in his hands,
"You ok buddy?" I asked,
"How am I going to tell Crystal?" Cole asked me, I've never seen him so worried,
"You haven't told her already?" I asked and he just shook his head,
"How can I tell her? We've already loss mum, we can lose dad." Cole stressed. Wow. If Cole's acting like this, I don't wanna see how Crystal will react,
"Wish I could help but I have no experience with kids. Maybe ask Kai or Sensei." I suggested,
"COLE!" Crystal called happily as she ran into the games room, with a huge grin on her face, I feel sorry for Cole. Not just because he's lost his mum and might lose his dad but, he has to tell Crystal.
"Hey Crystal. Why don't hang out with Jay for a second. I need to quickly do something." Cole told Crystal then mouthed 'do you mind' at me,
"Ok." Crystal beamed,
"Do you like video games?" I asked, to show Cole that I didn't mind, plus, I really want to know this kid,
"Yeah I love video games. Do you know dragon riders?" Crystal asked me and I saw Cole smile at his sister,
"I'm the master of that game." I said, and I actually am by the way,
"Not any more. I can beat Cole and daddy at that game." Crystal said with confidence. Hang on, she never said her mum, did she not meet her mum or did she not play video games with her mum? I'm gonna go this the 2nd one.
Cole's POV:
Ok. I have Crystal distracted so she can't listen in and find out, for now. I'm gonna take Jay's advice and ask Kai 1st since he has a close relationship with Nya. I found Kai in his room and knocked on the door,
"Hey Cole. What's up?" Kai asked,
"I need your help with something." I admitted,
"Ok. What with?" Kai asked with confusion in his tone for I rarely asked him for help,
"I need help figuring out how to tell Crystal the deal with dad." I explained,
"Ok. Why me?" Kai asked,
"You're close to Nya and I need help on how to break bad news to Crystal. Plus Jay suggested that you might be able to help me out." I explained,
"Well, when I have to break news to Nya, I sit her down and I explain what's up in lightest way possible and if there's no way to put it lightly, I put the bluntest way possible." Kai explained,
"Ok. Thanks." I said as I head to the door,
"Extra tip, do it when there's food around." Kai added,
"Thanks." I stated,
"No problem." Kai said as I walked to the games room to see how Jay was handling Crystal. They were playing 'Dragon Racers' and Crystal was beating him and she won,
"YES! I WIN AGAIN!" Crystal shouted as she did a little dance, well I call it her happy wiggle,
"How! Cole I'm ashamed. I'm getting beaten by a 5 year old!" Jay complained and I laughed, Crystal could beat anyone at dragon racers. I looked to my left and saw Zane heading towards the kitchen to start dinner, I remembered something and walked to Crystal,
"Hey Crystal, why don't you see if Zane needs help cooking dinner." Suggested, I wanted her to as happy as possible before I break the news,
"Ok. The kitchen is 2 doors that way to my bracelet side?" Crystal asked and I nodded. She was still learning left from right so she kept her bracelet on her right wrist. She ran off happily. I hope Zane doesn't mind and boy, I'm gonna hate to crush her later.
Zane's POV:
I was in the kitchen, preparing to cook dinner, when I heard little footsteps stop at the door.
"Hi Zane." A little voice called. I recognised that voice for it belonged to Crystal,
"Hello. May I help you?" I asked,
"Cole said to ask you if I can help you make dinner." Crystal beamed happily, so I guess that Cole hasn't told her the news. I didn't require any assistance but why not?
"Of course you can." I replied. I helped her wash her hands and found her an apron, but it was too big so I did what I could to fix it so it could fix better,
"It's sad that Cole's going to have to tell her about Lou having cancer." Pixal said to me but because she's in my head, Crystal couldn't hear,
"I know." I replied, but in my head,
"So what are we cooking?" Crystal asked,
"Have you ever made a roast pork before?" I asked,
"YUM! I LOVE PORK! Sometimes when daddy makes it, he lets me help him." Crystal announced proudly,
"Well that is what we're making for dinner tonight." I explained,
"And Cole said that you're making cookies for dessert." Crystal added,
"I am but 1 problem, what type of cookies to make?" I added,
"CHOCOLATE CHIP!" Crystal suggested. Common but a great choice. We have all the correct ingredients.
"Wonderful choice. Chocolate chip it is. But 1st, the pork." I explained,
"Ok." Crystal beamed.
Lloyd's POV:
Crystal is nothing like Cole. If I saw them on the street without know who they were, I would think that Cole was Crystal's babysitter. I decided to go outside to do some training. When I got out there, I saw Kai and Nya already training,
"Hey guys." I called to them,
"Hey." Nya and Kai called back,
"What do think of Crystal?" Nya asked us,
"Let me tell you this, they are NOTHING alike." I stated,
"I agree, but Crystal is cool and she is able to beat Jay at Dragon Racers." Kai explained. Wow. This kid must be awesome at video games. I'll have to verse her later.
"Crystal is so cute. I hate to imagine how she's gonna react to the news about her dad." Nya stated,
"Cole's stressing about it. Earlier he came up to me to get some advice on how to tell Crystal bad news because I'm a big brother." Kai explained,
"I hope she'll take it ok." I stated and the other 2 agreed.
Crystal's POV:
I'm having so much fun cooking with Zane. We finished the pork and it's in the oven and now we're making the cookies.
"Can I mix it?" I asked,
"Sure but don't spill it." Zane told me as he handed me the bowl and the wooden spoon and I mixed the cookie dough. All day, Cole looked like he was scared of something, which is not like him because he is the bravest person ever. Maybe Zane knows, they do live together.
"Zane." I said, "Is Cole ok?" I asked and he looked confused,
"Why do you ask?" Zane asked me,
"He looks scared about something." I told him. Did he not see the way that he looked?
"I'm sure he'll explain later." Zane told me,
"Why won't he tell me now?" I asked because I'm his little sister, he can tell me anything, and daddy. Has he already told daddy?
The pork is finished cooking and it smells DELISHIOUS! I watched as Zane grabbed it out of the oven and put the cookies in because he won't let me near the oven while it's on, a lot of people don't let me near the oven while it's on. Zane called out that dinner was ready and we all went to the dinning room, well I took off my apron and washed my hands before I went to the dinning room and I sat right next to my big brother and that meant a was also sitting next to Nya, which I'm happy about. We ate the dinner and later Zane went to grab the cookies to give them time to cool down and he brought them out to eat soon after that, we all got 4 cookies each. I like to save some of my cookies for later so I'm gonna eat 2 cookies now and eat the other 2 later. I only eaten 1 cookie and was about to eat my 2nd cookie when,
"Crystal. I need to talk to you." Cole told me quietly,
"Ok." I said back and we went to his room, and I brought my cookie with me.
Cole's POV:
I brought Crystal to my room and sat her down on my bed,
"What's up?" Crystal asked, while happily munching on her cookie,
"Well…um…you know how I told you dad isn't feeling well?" I started and she nodded, "Well…it's really bad."
"How bad?" Crystal asked,
"Well…he has a thing called cancer." I managed to say but in response, Crystal looked at me confused,
"What's cancer?" Crystal asked me,
"Cancer is…is…well, it's a really bad disease and in some cases, who ever has cancer…passes away." I explained, putting it the best way I could,
"Passes away as in…d-dies?" Crystal asked, with eyes filling up with tears, "Daddy's dying?" she asked, then I began to cry a little,
"Y-y-yes." I managed to answer and Crystal began to cry. I cuddled her up in my arms and held her tight, trying to calm her the best I could.
Nya's POV:
I heard crying from Cole's room. He must of told Crystal about Lou. I must've looked worried because Kai placed his hand on my shoulder,
"She'll be ok." Kai told me and I smiled in response but I was still worried about her. I may have just met the kid but that doesn't stop me from worrying about her. I hope she cheers back up later.
I know I've spent 2 chapters on 1 day but it fits in with the story right? And if I didn't put it into 2 chapters, that would've been a HUGE chapter.
