Thank you to all who reviewed the last chapter! I was very hesitant on it and was scared that I would get negative feedback, but everybody seemed to enjoy it! And to answer your question TwinkleGirl2001, just the end of the chapter was a flashback.
Jayden's POV
It had been three weeks since the Ninjago High School Senior Prom. It was an eventful night for not only Oliver and I but the rest of the seniors that were graduating in two months.
I stood in my room in front of my full-length mirror. This can't be happening. Fear shook me to the core, cold sweats raked my body. Vile from my stomach rose in my throat. The sunset behind me and shone through my window, illuminating my body in a gold glow.
I don't regret what we did that night but I would have never thought there would be consequences. I lifted my shirt hesitantly, and rubbed over my stomach in a smooth motion. On my vanity sat a lone plastic stick. My timer ticked in a countdown.
My period was late.
To make sure I bought a test. It's going to be negative I know it. I know mom was pregnant at my age, but she wasn't in school, and she was married to my dad.
I didn't want to think about having a child. I have to save the city from the Kamigami-no I have to save the world from the Kamigami. I jumped as my timer went off, turning to my vanity, my mother knocked on my door.
"Jayden? Dinner's ready." She cracked my door open, "Is something wrong?"
"Mom can I talk to you later, before dinner down at the pond?" She smiled, "Of course I'll head down there right now, but don't keep me waiting."
Once I knew she had gone down the stairs I turned my attention back to my vanity. Looking in the mirror I take one last look at myself, before I pick up the plastic test. Looking down I read the test carefully.
It falls out of my hand. I stand there in shock.
Positive.
I fall to my knees. Tears run down my face, there's no way this is right. But it makes sense, my late period. My weird craving for pickles. What am I going to do?
Then I remembered that mom was waiting for me at the pond. Even if she was very opened minded, I stilled feared that she would yell at me, reject me as her daughter.
Jogging out of my room and down the stairs. I push Matthew out of my way, and ignore my dad's questions. There on the dock stood my mother. Her short black hair blew in the wind, she watched my jog through the yard to the pond.
Tears still fresh on my face, I stand about five feet away from her. "Jayden, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" She takes a step towards me, and I take a step back.
I don't think I can do this, a lump forms in my throat. More tears run down my face. "I-Oliver-...Mom, no matter what you would love me, right? Even if I did the stupidest thing, you would never disown me right?"
"Jayden, you know you can always talk to me. I would never disown you." She took another step towards me, but this time I didn't back up. "Mom, I…" without hesitation I pulled out the pregnancy test from my pocket and toss it on the ground. I hear her breath get caught in her throat.
Here it comes. I sink to the ground sobbing uncontrollably. "Mom, what am I going to do?!" I never envisioned my life like this, the pain, the suffering. Then, in the moment I thought I was going crazy, I heard my mother, laughing.
I look up at her in shock, 'she thought this was funny?!'' Anger boiled inside of me, and it took everything in me to not scream my lungs out at her.
Slowly getting in her knees in front of me, she grabs my shoulders gently. "Jayden, there is nothing to be ashamed of. Of course, it's quite a shock, but, as long as you're happy, I am perfectly content. Now, I can't say the same for your father."
"Thank you mom. I didn't know what was going to happen, I thought you would make me get rid of it, or disown me."
"Jayden, remember this throughout your whole life, I'm your mother, I can't and will not control your life. You live, how you believe a precious life should be spent."
More tears cascade down my cheeks as I sob into her chest. "Are you going to tell your father?"
"I haven't even thought of that yet." I wiped the tears from my eyes, and stood up slowly, along with my mother. "Maybe you can tell him after graduation?" She suggested, 'Of course that was a good idea, but Matthew said he was gonna leave afterwards, would that be too much for my dad? I'll figure it out when I get there.'
"Yeah, I think I can do that. But what about training?" My mother smiles, "don't worry about that, I'll take care of it." As we sit in silence, I feel the weight come off my chest. My mother and I sat on the dock for a little while longer, until Matthew and my dad came rushing out.
Complaining that they were both starving, we all walked back to the house as a family. Maybe this whole thing wouldn't be so bad. I have so many people who will support me.
In a place darker than the Underworld, hotter than the sun, and more demonic than the demons who inhabit it. Was Hell. A place that only two humans have escaped, Garmadon and Lloyd. Two humans that have been infected by the Great Devourer's poison, made it out of Hell alive, or so they thought.
In the throne room where they were forced to bow before the leader of the infamous Kamigami, but he wasn't the real leader of this crusade, he was simply a substitute for the real leader to arrive, Lucifer.
Left alone with his thoughts, the leader suddenly had a tingling feeling in his body. He knew this feeling all too well, laughing the mysterious man spoke to himself.
"Aw, the time has come, my precious vessel is now come to terms that they're carrying Lucifer," He paused, "Now the real fun is about to begin."
Short chapter I know, but next chapter is where everything starts to go down. If you want to know who the vessel is, go read The Day of the Attack. Anyways, new chapter will be up soon, maybe this weekend if I have time. Please review, and enjoy your last couple days of school!
