Sorry I've taken so long to get this up! I've been too busy with school to continue! Yeah and my birthday is coming up in two weeks so I might not get a chance to update before my birthday. Hope you enjoy the chapter!
Cole POV
It was quiet the next day. Everyone was at training. I was the only one sitting on the sidelines. My chest wound hurt like crazy so I couldn't train much. Mia was doing much better than the day before. She was actually kicking Kai's butt. So far, only Zane could defeat him. "Mia, keep your guard up." I said as she tried to block his punch but took it to the face. She narrowed her eyes at him and went into a flurry. I watched as she literally became a blur. Once she settled back down, Kai was on the ground with her knee in his stomach. He was glaring at her. I laughed. "Well, it seems a girl defeated you today." I said, standing up. He launched himself at me and I ducked, hearing a crunch as he went through the wall. I looked behind me and saw him grunting. "Kai, next time, don't launch at me." I said. He glared at me and stormed off. Mia just cocked an eyebrow. "Let's let Kai simmer down. He's too angry right now." Jay said. Lloyd just laughed. "Why is he so angry?" Mia asked as she came to my side. "No clue. Anyways, it's getting close to lunch. I think Mom is cooking it right now." I said, already heading to the dinning hall. Delicious smells were coming from the kitchen. Already on the table was several plates of food. I saw roasted duck and a cake! I immediately went for the cake. Mia laughed at me. She knew I loved cake. Mom came out of the kitchen with some meat on a plate and placed it at the center of the table. Jay grabbed most of it. Mia smiled at me. I lightly tapped her foot under the table. There was a knock on the door. I got up to see who it was.
I peeked through the porthole and saw another girl. She had very light brown hair in a braid down her back, much like Mia did most of the time during training. She had on a dark neon hoodie, dark red jeans, and purple converse with glitter rainbow shoelaces. She looked to be about 17. I opened the door. Immediately, I thought, 'OMG! She's freaking hot!' I shook my head to get my mind together. "Can I help you?" I asked. "Yeah, I'm looking for Sensai Wu. He's here, right?" she asked. Her voice was really deep. Strange, but still so cute! Great, now I was acting like Jay over Nya. "Well, come in. We're just having lunch." I said. "Good. I'm starved." she said, streaking past me. I blushed but hid it behind my hands. God, what in the world had gotten in to me?! Why was I acting like fucking Jay?! I slapped myself and went to find the girl had already taken a seat next to Sensai Wu. "Thank you, Cole." he said as I sat back down. Mia seemed to be frowning at the girl. "Cole, I don't trust her." she whispered to me. "I would like to introduce June Vega. She will be joining our ninja team." Sensai said. "What?! Isn't two girls enough?!" Kai yelled, obviously angry. "Kai, shut your mouth!" June yelled. Her eyes had a dark look to them. It was so cute. I reminded myself not to crush so easily. "Kai, June will be joining us. Her parents were special friends of mine." Wu said. Mom nodded. "Yes, I remember. They were both part of the Elemental Alliance before the final battle with Garmedon. June, I'm sorry your parents are dead." Mom said. June growled. "Yeah, I knew that, Misty. You don't need to remind me." she said. Mom seemed to be frowning at her. "Young lady, you don't talk like that. We are your friends here." she said, crossing her arms. June just groaned. "Yeah, well, maybe you get rid of Mia. She's much too dangerous. The Overlord will get her and we'll all be dead. I vote we kill her now." she said. "Whoa! No one threatens my sister!" I yelled, grabbed her wrist. Her eyes seemed to glow and I was slammed into the wall by a gust of wind. "Never test me, kid." she said dangerously. Mia got to me. I winced as being slammed around had added to the pain from my chest wound. "He's injured, you bitch! Now get your fucking ass out of here!" Mia yelled, lightening cackling along her fists. June laughed. "No, you're the one leaving. I don't want you around. Now leave before I kill you." June threatened. Mia lost it and shot a lightening bolt at her. June dodged it and got closer to Zane. He wisely stepped back out of the way. "Too scared to fight me when your pathetic friends are in the way?" she asked. "No, I don't want them getting caught in the crossfire." Mia said. It was strange how she could go from raging to completely calm. "Girls, stop fighting!" Nya yelled. She stepped in between them. "Nothing is going to get solved this way. June, if you really hate Mia, keep it to yourself. We don't kill our teammates. Since you're going to be working with us, keep your fucking mouth shut." she said, looking at June. June growled and shoved her out of the way. "Hey, don't hurt my sister, bitch!" Kai yelled. He was only slammed into Jay. I got in between them then. "June, no harming my sister." I growled. She laughed and punched me in the gut, right where I got stabbed. Mia caught me as I fell backwards, the wind literally knocked out of me.
Mia POV
That bitch! After she punched Cole so hard he almost passed out, I lost control and punched her hard across the face. A faint redness was in her eyes. She let out a feral yell and we started to fight. In the end, I had a lot of bruises. She kicked me down and grabbed a knife from the table. I scrambled to my feet. Zane tried to stop her but she jabbed him in the middle of his chest. I winced at the sound of metal being dented. His eyes closed and he fell. "Zane!" I yelled, running to him. He seemed to shut off. I pulled the knife out but June grabbed my hair and slammed me into Zane a bunch of times. I could hear shouting but I was so dizzy that I couldn't hear straight. She slammed me one last time and I blacked out.
My head hurt like shit when I woke up. I grunted and slowly sat up. Nya was wringing a bloody rag out in a bucket of water. "Nya?" I asked. She jumped at my voice. "You feeling okay?" she asked. I winced. "My head really hurts. Why is June such a fucking bitch?" I said, rubbing my head. My hand came away bloody. "Jeez! How many times did she slam my head?" I asked. "Quite a few. You actually have a small concussion. I would advise not training for a while." she said. "Okay. Good idea." I said. The door to my room opened and Cole came in. "Cole! I told you to rest!" Nya exclaimed. "Sorry, Nya. I heard you two talking." he said, sitting next to me. She sighed and dabbed the rag against my forehead. "Cole, what happened after I blacked out?" I asked. "Well, June was locked in a room and Jay got on repairing Zane. When she punched me, she kinda reopened the wound." he explained. I could feel blood seeping out from his bandage. He had no shirt on.
