Geez, it's been weeks since I updated. Sorry bout that. Enjoy! Oh, also, Seliel is in this chapter but I don't read the comics, so I'm getting all my information about her from other fanfics. If someone could review and tell me a bit about her, that'd be great.
~Chapter 4~
"Cole, Cole wake up." Said a voice. Cole opened his tired eyes. "Huh?" "Hey, It's Tessi... wake up." She said again. "Yeah, Yeah. I'm up." Cole rubbed his eyes. "I need you to see something." She whispered. He looked at Zane, then back at Tessi. "It's ok, he's safe." She whispered, impatiently. "Ok." Cole got up and left with Tessi.
"While you were asleep, I got in contact with a... friend of mine. You may know her." Tessi began. "Uh, ok. But what does this have to do with... anything?" Cole Asked. "She's gonna help us." Tessi glanced towards the deeper woods, then looked back at Cole. "Can you take this? I'll be back." Tessi took off a backpack-like thing she was wearing. Cole hadn't even noticed it until she took it off. "Yeah, what's in it?" Cole asked. "Uhm... don't wake her up." Tessi ran off into the deep woods.
Cole sat on the ground and opened the backpack-resembling bag. Inside, was a baby whom was peacefully sleeping. "Oh..." Cole whispered. He took her out and cradled her, not wanting anything to happen to his precious cargo.
"Hello, I'm back!" Said Tessi. She had her friend with her. Cole looked up, and immediately recognized her. "Seliel?" Cole was evidently surprised to see her standing before him. "Yep, it's me," She smiled oddly. "Is this kid yours?" "Huh? Oh, no no no no no... she's Tessi's." Cole Replied. "Tessimenez Galden, you didn't tell me you had a kid." Seliel said, looking at the gothic teen standing next to her. "Heh, it's Fangpriannah's fault." Tessi awkwardly replied. "Your name is Tessimenedez... or whatever?" Cole asked. "Yup. I go by Tessi cause it's easier to say." She shrugged her shoulders. "I'll say." Cole stood.
"So, you need the help of the fabulous Seliel again?" Seliel smirked. "Sel, the pride thing again... I told you to work on it." Tessi scolded. "Yeah, Yeah,.. whatever." Seliel rolled her eyes. "Ok, here's your kid, Tessi." Cole handed Tessi the baby, whom was now awake and her bright red eyes were looking around curiously. Seliel And Tessi smiled. Cole walked off to find Zane.
"Zane, wake up." Cole said. Zane weakly opened his eyes. "Hey, we have to go," Cole helped Zane to his feet. "Seliel is here to help us, too." Zane yawned, then winced; mostly everything he did caused pain. "R-right..." Zane leaned on Cole. "Can you walk?" Cole asked. Zane shook his head. "Ok, can I carry you?" Cole asked. Zane nodded. Cole swept Zane off his feet and carried him bridal style to the girls.
"Hey, looks like Coles got a baby too." Seliel snorted then laughed softly. "Shut up, Seliel. I get that it's early, but you don't have to be a snot." Tessi elbowed her. "Sorry. Anyway, shall we get going?" She asked. Tessi put the baby back into the sack backpack thing (it was made specially for that purpose, so no worries. Da baby isn't suffocating) the put it on. "Yeah. Cole, you got everything?" Tessi Asked. "Yup. Zane is all I need. And he already has the blanket." Cole Replied. "Let's go." Seliel led the group into the forest.
A few hours later...
"Ta da, back in civilization." Seliel said. "Um... where exactly are we?" Cole asked. "Did you not hear her? She said we're back in civilization." Tessi smirked. "Where exactly is civilization?" Cole asked, rephrasing his question. "The outskirts of Ninjago City. The ninja said they'd meet us here at noon." Seliel replied. "It's only five in the morning..." Zane deliriously stated. "No it is- Well, it is." Tessi Said, checking her watch
. "Ok, so... now what?" Cole asked. "We chill, I guess." Tessi sat on the ground and took off the sack. Seliel, whom was holding Tessi's baby, handed her back to her mum. Cole set Zane down gently, then sat down next to him. "You ok?" Cole asked. "Starving..." Zane managed to say. "Me too," he turned to his two female companions. "Do either of you have food?" Tessi smiled. "Never leave Jess and Fangpriannah without it." She tossed two apples and a loaf of bread to Cole and Zane. She gave Seliel an apple, and didn't eat anything herself. "Aren't you hungry?" Cole asked her. "No." She Replied.
"Here, Zane." Cole broke the bread and gave it to Zane. Zane pushed it back. "No..." he mumbled. "No what?" Cole asked. "I won't eat it." Zane muttered. "Why not?" "Reasons." Zane blacked out.
"Zane?! Oh god, TESSI?!" Cole Shouted. "Relax, bruh. That happens. It's just because of the venom in his bloodstream. Once he wakes up, I can treat him for it." Tessi calmly said. "ONCE HE WAKES UP?! WHAT IF ITS TOO LATE THEN?!" Cole began to cry. "Dude, Cole... chillax, bruh. It's ok. I've dealt with this kinda thing before. It happened to Seliel and she's just fine... sorta." Tessi Said. "I'm a changed person, bruh!" Seliel said. "Seliel, bruh, saying 'bruh' is my thing. Ok?" Tessi Said. "Whatever, have it your way dude." Seliel walked off.
"Where are you going?!" Cole asked. "Don't worry, I'm just going out for a jog! I'll be back!" She jogged off.
"Zane will wake up soon, I promise." Tessi Said. Cole nodded and calmed down. "I can communicate with him telepathically." Tessi suggested. "Do that, please." Cole begged. "Ok."
~in Zane's mind...~
"Zane, Zane bruh, can you hear me?" Tessi Called. "Yes. Yes I can," Zane saw through the emptiness, the figure of Tessi. "Is Cole overreacting?" Tessi's figure nodded. "Figures... Anyway, what's going on? How can I see you?" Zane asked. "It's... it's just something that happens sometimes, bruh. It's a vision." Tessi Said. "Woah..." Zane replied. Tessi majikally (I am aware that's spelled wrong) weaved her hand. "Are you ok, Zane?" She asked. "No. Everywhere hurts, and I feel... like I'm gonna puke." Zane awkwardly said. "Ew, tmi, bruh. Anyway, you must wake up... majikally..." Tessi dissapeared. "Wait, am I dreaming?" Zane asked. Tessi appeared again. "Maybe..." She majikally dissapeared again.
~in da real world~
"Is he ok?" Cole asked. Tessi nodded. "I told him to majikally wake up. That's spelled m-a-j-I-k-a-l-l-y." Tessi stated. "Ok, so he should be ok?" Cole asked. "Yeah, except that he's in pain and feel like puking. He'll be fine." Tessi smiled. "Yep, Fine..." Cole sighed, and prayed Zane'd wake up ok.
