A/N: There is a Mysterious visitor on the ship! Who could it be? You'll find out soon enough! Enjoy! =D

Chapter 3: The Mysterious Visitor
I was in total shock. I wasn't the only one. Everyone seemed surprised. Especially me. We were so shocked in fact, that we didn't even notice the black figure slip behind our backs on deck and into the ship. But I'll get back to him later.
After a few minutes of silence, Cassie, who I recently found out, prefers to be called Cass, decided to break the silence with an excited hop.
"I have an idea! I have an idea!"
"What is it?" I asked curiously.
"Why don't you try out your powers?"
"Why not?" I responded enthusiastically
I closed my eyes and tried to get the water to rise, but nothing happened.
"What's wrong?" Cass asked.
"I-I don't know."
I started thinking about what might I have done wrong when I heard a crash from inside the ship. All of the Ninja instantly put on their hoods and went inside, while me and Cass followed close behind.
"Ya know, it doesn't surprise me that you can control water. I mean, it does, just that the fact that it is water that you can control. I mean, with your fear of fire and all that, what better element for you than water!' Cass chimed.
"I-I guess. I'm just worried it wasn't me who controlled it. I mean, it didn't work when I tried, did it?" I mumbled.
Just then we walking into the room to see the ninja standing in front of a Mysterious figure dressed all in black. It actually seemed to look like the ninja's outfits excluding all the details and armor and all that. He looked about their age too.
"I'll repeat it one more time. What are you doing here?!" Kai said with slight anger rising in his voice.
"Chill. I'm just here to help you." the mysterious figure responded.
"With what?!"
"Her missing father" the mysterious figure replied while pointing at Cass.
"How do we know we can trust you?" Kai asked suspiciously
"Because I have this." The mysterious figure pulled out a well- worn, small, brown notebook.
Cass jumped up. "I know what that is! My dad writes in it all the time when he comes home! I always ask him if I can read it, and he always tells me no. He said it was for my own safety. My dad's an explorer, and I thought he made an important discovery that he didn't want me to see! That got me frustrated..." Cass stopped just enough to take a breath of air, than continued by saying, "How did you get a hold of it, anyway?"
"Oh, I have my ways." He chuckled to himself. He then looked over at me and froze. I noticed he was looking at me and looked up at him. There was something about his expression that just made me unable to look away. What was it? I know it's not anger. Doesn't look like Jealousy. It's-It's Sadness. He stared at me with such a saddened glance it made me feel like I had just dies. And as quickly as he had looked up, he looked away.
"Anyway..." He continued, but this time with a slight hint of sadness thrown in. "This book holds the secrets to your father's disappearance."
"So what are we waiting for? Let's get this show on the road!" Cass said a little too enthusiastically.
"Wait. Before we do that," Cole said while turning toward the mysterious figure, "Do you mind telling us your name?"
The mysterious figure hesitated. He quickly glanced my way, then thought better of it and glanced away. He then stated, "My name is R-R-R... uhh... Roger!" He quickly responded.
We all looked at him suspiciously as he chuckled nervously. "Roger. Yeah, that's my name!"
"O-Kay." I said with narrowed eyes. Whoever this guy was, he really didn't want to tell us his name, did he? And why does he have such a sad expression whenever he looks at me? Who is he really, and what does he know?
