Chapter 10-First Night

The first day Misako, Garmadon and Wu spent walking was extremely exhausting for both of the boys. Although they were both in peak physical condition, neither was really used to pushing one foot in front of the other while the weather beat down on any uncovered patch of skin.

And that's without mentioning the bug bites.

While the boys moaned and complained behind her, Misako moved forward without slowing down. She knew the forest they were traveling through really well and,even though her muscles were definetly the weakest of the three, she was well ahead of the boys by the time the moon started to peek through the forest's leaves.

"Can. . . we. . . please. . . stop?" Wu asked, out of breath.

"You know I would usually call him a weakling for wanting to stop but I kinda want a break myself," Garmadon said while scratching what must have been his hundreth bug bite.

Misako looked up at the darkening sky and nodded. "I guess we could stop here,but we should build a fire before the temperature drops even more,"

"I'll get some wood!" both Wu and Garmadon, energy suddenly returning to their bodies at the thought of helping Misako.

Garmadon shot a dark look at his brother while pushing him back. "I'll go get it."

"Whatever," Wu shrugged.

"It's just wood. . ."Misako looked back and forth between the brothers, wondering what on earth had gotten into them.

"Yeah wood that I'm going to go get,"Garmadon said, then left.

Feeling annoyed at his brother,Wu sat on small patch of soft grass. When he felt misako walking up behind him Wu finally figured out how lucky he actually was.

He was alone.

With her.

A small smile crept upon the blonde boy's lips.

"Why do you think you owe your brother?" Misako asked catching Wu off guard, a goofy smile still glued to his childish features.

"Huh?" It took a couple of seconds for the question to register in his brain. "Oh. . . Well if I hadn't been such a scaredy cat I could've gotten my sword and Monty wouldn't have been bit. . ."

"So you think it's your fault he's. . . evil?"

"I wouldn't say evil, I mean he's still him in there somewhere. . . but no I don't think it's my fault I know it is."

Misako looked at Wu and once again spotted a flash of sadness in his slowly turned towards Misako and their eyes conected. Blue and Green. Without knowing why, Misako felt warmth spread across her cheeks so she quickly turned away deciding it was safer to stare at the stars for now.

". . . Do you belive in destiny?" Misako asked, her voice getting softer.

"Well, yeah I supposse I do," Wu shrugged then looked up at the sky too.

"Well maybe Montgomery, or Garmadon whatever, was meant to be bitten and it would've happened wether you got your sword or not."

"I supposse so. . . Still feels like its my fault though,"

Misako rolled her eyes. "I'm trying to make you feel better you know, but you're too stubborn."

"Ha yeah whatever,"

"I wonder what I'm destined to be though. . ."

"Huh?"

"Don't you ever think about that?" Misako stopped thinking about all the possibilities her future held."I just hope I'm able to make a difference, to be someone not just go along with the flow"

"I know what you mean," Wu muttered shyly."I'm sure you're gonna do something awesome one day."

"Pft yeah right,"Misako chuckled softly." I'm not even good at anything, at least you guys know some fancy fighting techniques."

"Well you've been good at them so far."

"Yeah but I don't know everything."

"Well then I'll teach you, I'll I'll teach you everything I know,"

Misako looked at him and smiled slightly. "It's a deal then sensei."

"Yuck don't call me that," Wu shook his head.

"Well your gonna teach me no?" Misako fluffed up Wu's blonde hair. "You'll be sensei Wu now."

"That sounds retarded," Wu laughed." What am I gonna have to grow a long white beard too?"

Misako cracked up, imaginig Wu with a beard was far too funny." Oh yes yes you'll have to do that."

Garmadon walked back to the others and anger filled his body when the laughter reached his ears. He'd been an idiot leaving his brother alone with Misako. Now that he thought about it Wu had probably been planing to get rid of him all along. He wanted to throw something at Wu. Maybe punch him a couple of times.

He threw the few branches and sticks he had managed to collect hard onto the soft earth. " Sorry to interrumpt your little party."

He couldn't even look at Wu in the eye. Garmadon knew if he saw his brother's face, the laughter still fading away from his features, he would snap. Instead he turned and laid back against a tree facing away from the girl and his idiotic brother.

The anger caused his heart to beat faster and once again, the evil started spreading further into his blood.
