I ran to the intersection where we saw Anthony the last few times. She'd be talking to him or something again, right? Or maybe she avoids this place because of what happened last time. I doubt that guy would come back around here after his cover is blown, unless he really is that stupid.
No one was at the intersection, but I hid anyway. As I said, I'm pretty sure word had already gotten out that there's a crazy witch girl attacking people. This isn't the way I wanted to be known. I wanted to be known as the fearless samurai who saved this dear city. A samurai the ninja could never defeat. A samurai that is remembered for centuries. Instead, I'm known as a psychotic witch girl who tried to kill her father and sister.
I untied the ribbon in my hair and let my hair fall out of it's neat bun. I let it cover my face and pulled my knees to my face. What happened was just an accident. Why am I beating myself up over it? I guess it's the fact of hurting my family. I don't want to go back and I can't. If I go back they'll call the police. I don't want to go to jail for doing something on accident.
I started to feel tears streaming down my face. What if Mizu hears the news and sees me as a threat too? Then I'd really have no one to go to. I'd be on my own. I'd probably die of starvation in a month.
"You know, you could have waited at your house for me instead of coming all this way," a voice said. It startled me and woke me from my sleep. I must have dozed off while crying. I sat up and brushed my hair out of my face. I saw Mizu in here usual outfit, hood and all, minus the mask.
"I...I can't live there anymore.." I said with a mix of guilt and sadness in my voice.
"Why not? Your parents decide to kick you out so you'll go to college or something?" Mizu asked, looking confused. How could she not know?
"You haven't heard what happened!?" I asked in disbelief.
"Listen, I don't stay connected with the news. I'd rather ignore it because 90% of the time, they're just telling you bullcrap they want you to believe," she said. I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Oh, good, you won't immediately judge me as a threat then," I said, relived. Mizu gave a confused look.
"A threat!?" she started to laugh, "Karma, you're like a rabbit, too cute to be a threat."
I didn't know whether to take that as a compliment or insult. "Well, I should tell you the story then," I started. I told her everything that happened, from the Garmadons coming to the restaurant to now. She gave a look of disgust when I mentioned Lloyd, but was surprised when I talked about my powers.
"So, it happened without your control...and you saw that overglorified idiot," Mizu said. I nodded. I wouldn't technically call Lloyd an idiot, I mean, he did offer to help me.
"Lloyd did offer to help me," I said.
"Don't trust him," Mizu said immediately. Geez, what's her damage with these guys?
"Well, be relieved I didn't see the red guy," I said.
"Yeah," Mizu said, still showing some disgust.
"It's still funny you two fight like a married couple," I said. I saw Mizu's cheeks become a little red.
"We're not married. I'd kill myself if we were," she said. I gave my oh-hon-i-know-you-wouldn't face.
Mizu gave an annoyed sigh. "Come with me," she said, walking off.
