"Elise?" The lightening ninja stepped forward. I'm so screwed! Okay, just stay calm.
I relaxed and took a deep breath. "Jay," I said bluntly, still being held by one of them.
"Lloyd, let her go," Jay told my captivator, but still holding his gaze on me.
"You aren't going to run, are you?" he asked still holding me.
"No, idiot! Now let me go, so I can talk to my brother," I said a bit too hostile. He instantly unhooked his arms around me and stepped back. "Thank you," I sighed, not making eye contact with him and straitened my clothes. I looked at Jay again. "Jay, look-" I tried to explain.
He interrupted me, "Elise, how could you do this? What were you doing out here? They could have captured you or worse, killed you! Why aren't you at the dorm? I just talked to you two hours ago! You can be glad the alarm went off, to warn us about serpentine! Do you know how dangerous those purple snakes are?" he paced back and forth holding his head.
"Jay, calm down!" I grabbed him by the shoulders making him stop. "I can explain…" I said in a calm tone.
He took a deep breath. "Yes, you are going to explain and you can start by what you were doing here," he said with anger in his voice.
"Jay, I-" I began explaining but was interrupted, again, by the white ninja.
"My friends, sorry for interrupting, but I sense more serpentine approaching. I think it would be wise if we went back to the monastery and tell sensei Wu about our findings." The white ninja said in a calmer voice than me, while pointing at the purple snakes they just defeated.
We both nodded. "I can get myself back to the dorm…" I said and turned to walk away.
"No, you won't!" Jay grabbed my arm and pulled me to his side. "We're not finished yet."
"Ow!" I pulled my arm out of his grasp. "You are not going to forgive and forget, are you?" I asked pouting a little.
"Nope, now let's get out of here," he said. I sighed and we began walking.
Suddenly the ninja in red appeared next to me. "Hi, I'm-"
"Kai, the master of fire" I interrupted. "There's no need for introductions. I know all of you names. My roommate is obsessed with you guys; it's all she talks about." I said and gave him a small smile.
Kai looked unsure for a moment but soon redeemed his former posture. "Well, okay then," he said and walked to the others in front of us.
"Do you really know who they all are?" My brother asked looking at me. I wonder if they ever take their masks off.
"Yup, being related to one of the ninja has its perks…sometimes," I said. We walked a while longer in silence. Then I realized something. "Oh, no!" I began running to where we came from. I forgot my Bo staff! I must have lost it when Lloyd grabbed me.
I ran back and could here Jay calling for me. They were running after me. "I lost something! I need to get it!" I screamed back at the group trailing me. I stopped when I realized, I'm at the spot where he grabbed me.
I began searching in the dim lit street. I heard someone stop beside me. I gave a quick glance and saw it was the green ninja.
"What are you searching for?" he asked.
"Um…my bo staff. I must have dropped it when you grabbed me," I answered and went back to searching.
"Is this it?" he asked. I looked back and saw him holding my Bo staff.
"Yes!" I grabbed the Bo staff and started examining it.
"Elise!" I turned and saw my brother running towards me; the others were a few feet behind him. "What the brick were you thinking, running off like that?" he looked at me for an explanation.
"I just wanted to get my Bo staff," I held my staff for him to see. "I dropped it when wonder boy here grabbed me." I motioned toward Lloyd and saw Jay trying to stifle a laugh.
"You could have told me before running," Jay took off his masked and smiled. His auburn hair was messed up and his electric blue eyes shimmering. He is much bigger than I remember.
I smiled back. "Sorry, we can go now," I held the staff close to my body.
We began walking again and Jay took the Bo staff out of my hands to examine. "Where did you get this?" he asked and handed the staff back to me.
"I bought the staff from an old man with some emergency money I kept for myself," I told and twirled the staff.
"Cool."
"How are we going to get to your monastery?" I asked.
"We are going to fly Ultra," he said excited.
"Ultra?"
"You'll see," he said grinning creepily.
Aaaahhh! This chapter was longer but then I made it shorter because then I would have to reveal some secrets I'm not ready to let loose. Like, where did those purple snakes come from? Hehe! :D I'm not telling!
