Super sorry I haven't updated. I had an asthma attack and hit the dirt. Any way HAPPY DOT DAY AND ENJOY THIS CHAPTER!
Zane's POV
I shook the black dots out of my eyes. Did I just blackout? I've heard of them but never experienced one. Drake knelt next to me and rest a hand on my back.
"Take it easy kid. You've...been through a lot." His eyes drifted sideways as he helped me back to my feet. The car I heard earlier just pulled into the driveway and I could just make the shape of Leah. Drake coughed more violently than the first time and I started to get worried. "Don't...look afraid Zane. It's just a cold." He wheezed. "You need to get some rest." I heard a thump and glanced over my shoulder to see Lloyd had tripped, too far away to see me. Drake led me inside and into the living room. "I'll be right back, I need to get Leah's inhaler for her."
'Inhaler? She's never needed an inhaler before.'
"DAMMIT JAY YOU STEPPED ON MY DANCE SHOES!" Cole whined and a bush rattled.
"OW HEY TWINKLE TOES I JUST CRUSHED THE BIRD'S NEST!"
"If you don't shut up, I'll park my twinkle toes up your a-"
"Stop fighting you two." Ash said.
'Their...voices are deeper.' I was confused. Drake came back with an inhaler and yawned.
"I'll give my left wing to get over this sickness." He winked. Leo crossed the living room doorway, glancing in for a second.
"'Sup Zane, 'sup Drake." He stopped walking. "Wait a minute..."
"You know Leo, you don't make a very good door." Lloyd pushed Leo gently aside and went to his room, rubbing his shoulder. Kai and Dakota raced to the kitchen yelling who was going to get tea first. Lennox walked in, his head bowed.
"That wasn't the same without-" Lennox stopped and looked me in the eyes. "You. I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES!"
"HOW THE WORLD'S FILLED WITH FILTH AND LI-" Lennox flicked Lachlan on the nose with his tail.
"Welcome back Master." The house went silent. Then, the sound of glass breaking filled the empty air.
"KAI I WANTED SOME PICKLES TOO!" The red ninja burst into the living room and hugged me.
"HOW ARE YOU BACK BROTHER?!" He cried. Ash walked up the sidewalk outside with Leah and weapons stacked in front of his face.
"It would be nice if I could have some help." Ash tripped and the weapons flew out of his hands. "FUCK!" His sword landed next to his face. Leah helped Ash to his feet and giggled.
'There is something I need to remember but I don't know what it is..' I thought. 'Something about Lloyd and Leah.' My mind went blank when I saw the most beautiful sight. Luna.
"LUNA!" She turned to the window and gaped. Shock, disbelief, and relief flashed across her face. Ash glanced at Luna and followed her line of vision, and did something unexpected. He burst out in tears.
"WHY MUST YOU HAUNT ME BROTHER! I'M SORRY!" I titled my head in confusion. Drakel sigh/growled inwardly.
"What do you mean Ash?"
Evergreen's POV
"Mr. Phantom Ju-"
"Please, not my full name." I cut the man off, glancing around to make sure no one heard.
"Ok, Mr. Phantom your father is due for a checkup. It says here he hasn't been here for two years. Do you want me to set up an appointment for him?"
"That will not be necessary. He has already been checked on."
"You sure, sir?" I nodded. "Is Mr. Julien doing well? I've not seen of him for quite some time. I hope he hasn't gotten into any mischief."
"He's just been busy with stuff. I bet you will see him soon enough." I replied calmly. The man studied my face for a while, waiting for me to snap and confess on my friend's death. "You know, I actually seen him with the ninja. I heard he and Luna Timbers are getting married." The man's face brightened.
"Well I'll be darned. I remember when they were just youngsters playing outside in Jamunakai Village."
"Well, thanks for your time." I waved goodbye and started to leave.
"TELL MR. JULIEN I SAID CONGRATULATIONS!" I shivered.
He knows Zane is my...
