Well... things will be revealed in this chapter. In like 2 chapters... the murderer will be revealed.
I think. ENJOY! XD
"BACK AT THE DORM UNDER MY FAVORITE APPLE TREE!" Zane cries with excitement.
The sun was shining over the city and Zane took this as a chance to get more of his vitamin D. He jumps in the air and grabs an apple off of one of the branches. He uses his jacket sleeves to rub the apple. He quickly took a big bite into the apple and chewed it with a smile on his face. As he was eating the apple, he remembered Miss Cherry from the hospital. Just remembering what she said about her brother made his smile go down a bit.
"Why so glum Zane? Turn around and see Vinycil from school!"
Zane turns around to see Vinycil wearing a floral patterned dress. She runs towards the apple tree and punches the trunk. Over 10 apples fell onto the ground. She whistles a tune and then her three siblings jump off the branches of the tree. Zane watches in confusion as the three gather the apples.
"Remember there are 5 of you. So each should get two but Dad hates when you waste food." Vinycil says.
"We won't forget! This redish-greenish apples look delicious!" Michele says with glee.
The three run towards their sister and squeeze her into a tight hug. Zane felt like running over there to hug her as well. Everytime he saw her she reminded him of his mother. Just a multicultural, younger version with green eyes with mountains but besides that she was like his mother.
As her siblings ran off, Vinycil climbs that able tree, takes an apple, and begins to eat it.
"If we work hard this week we could actually find the murderer! After all, the dead bodies and weapons clearly match up with that ax that can turn into any other weapon. Plus I bet you the murderer beheaded that politician on purpose for a trophy."
Zane looks up at her. "How do you know?"
"It's really obvious. In every crime a villain does they expect a memento. So they do it themselves. In some mass murderer movies a murderer usually keeps the body or PART of it."
Zane had to agree with her on that fact.
"So why did you come so early?" he asks her.
She replies. "Father doesn't want me out late at night when this murderer is on the lost and I agreed with him. I wanted to stay with my family dearly but these are hard times in this Ninjago High. But I heard your father is on patrol. You better hope nothing bad happens to him. But don't the soldiers work in groups of five?"
"Yes they do. But I'm worried about Cole."
Vinycil gives Zane a confused face. "Why is that my Блондинка шерстью друг?"
"It's because..."
Vinycil snaps her fingers. "The accident that happened in January? I could tell why you are worried. Cole didn't speak a lot when we were at the hospital. I saw him looking out of the window just staring. Even though a family member dies you need to let it go. If you hold onto that person you're just killing yourself."
"You are right. But I think Cole may have a cause-and-effect thing coming for him."
Zane took another bit out of his apple and remembered Miss Cherry.
"Do you know Miss Cherry?"
"Oh that's Angelica my cousin! My father has 6 brothers and 7 sisters! He is the 'baby' of the family. She is my 4th uncle, Klaus's 1st born daughter!"
Zane felt like he he was going to explode. How could two parents have 14 children?!
"She says her brother caused the car accident."
Vinycil smirks. "The brother she is talking about was a REALLY close friend of her's. His name was Damien Fir- Вот его отец!"
"What?"
She starts to laugh and facepalms herself. "Her friend was Kai's father! She used to tell me how much fun they had. She says that she met him when she was 7 years old. That was also the first time she came to America. They met at a museum and were friends ever since. They were penpals and all of that. That's when my father and Uncle Klaus decided to America and she became a nurse. She was happy for him when she heard he was married and children but she always told him something wasn't right. Like the son would look as if he were a slave while the daughter looked like an all powerful princess. He would immediately change the subject she said."
"But how did all three of them end up on the ground like that?!"
"His body was missing."
"GUYS GUESS WHAT?"!
Vinycil and Zane look to see Jay and Becky running with grins of their faces.
"Look what I got out of my mother's office. It's an old newspaper article!" Becky says.
"What does it say?" Vinycil asks.
"June 6, 1865, Alexander E. Nigman opens the first private school in Ninjago City. The school is for the intelligent and talented. If you can't afford it, you may be able to get a scholarship for the school that will pay for ONE full school year. Many families that were rich enough enrolled their child or children into the school and realized how much they could learn in just one day. This shows a bright future for the school." Jay reads.
"The founder says, 'It is an enigma to see how such a school can become this popular in this city! With many elements like fire, water, wind, earth, ice, lightning, weather and even more. This school will help those who are gifted. But some are more gifted than others because they are able to see something and know it's abnormal, irregular. This may open a door they should of kept closed. But those who dare to put themselves in are in a huge adventure in life." Becky recites.
Jay couldn't help but laugh. Zane looks at him with a frown on his face.
"Jay... why are you..."
"If you take segments of his full name, you will get the word 'enigma'." Becky states.
Vinycil smiles. "A. Nigma or E. Nigma. The founder of the school must of been 'abnormal' and 'irregular' as well. He must of had powers or something because he said all those things about fire, earth, water, and all of that!"
"But it starts off with fire. The murderer is able to CAUSE/MAKE FIRE FROM HIS HAND! This means he's foreshadowing!" Becky says.
"Then he says water. Water puts OUT fire." Zane says.
Jay smirks. "Rocks can move by the wind. Erosion can happen either by wind and/or water."
"Ice is frozen water. Lightning is related to weather in a way."
The four turn around to see Lloyd smiling with some orange slices in his hands.
"Well am I right or am I right? Well all of these thing relate to weather period! Remember! Weather and climate are two different things!" Lloyd responds.
Jay rolls his eyes. "We learned that in Pre-K man!"
Lloyd smiles. "Maybe we can go under those tunnels again and see if we can use those weather-related things."
he other four look at each other. After a few minutes they nodded their heads in agreement.
"We do it tonight. But someone has to tell Cole." Zane says.
Becky giggles. "Send Vinny here. He will surely listen to her."
Vinycil jumps down from the tree and runs into the school's entrance.
"See you on the side that flips!" She yells to her friends.
"IT'S SEE YOU ON THE FLIPSIDE!" They yell back.
Cole was walking in the hallway to clear his head about Zane in the hospital bed.
He almost died once. He doesn't need to have another close-call.
While he was thinking, Cole heard a noise coming from the Math room. He peeks in to see Kai picking up some papers off the floor. He opens the door and Kai's looks at him and smiles.
"Hi Cole!" He says. "How are you doing?"
Cole replies. "Good. Hey I heard most of my friends lost Hangman. I want to play and I am going to show them that they need to get their topics on straight because I'm going to win this thing!"
Kai picks the green marker for the SMARTboard and starts to prepare the game. Cole couldn't help but think about trying to avoid any conversation with Zane. He knows he was zoning out but that was the same hospital room they were in after the accident. Zane is probably going to tell him to forget about it but it isn't that easy.
"Alright start guessing!" Kai announces.
There were three sets if lines of the board. Cole is happy to know that Kai gave him one with three words. The harder, the better
"E."
Kai puts down three 'E's each on of them were at the end of the word.
"Go again!"
"O."
The first word had an O at the beginning. The second word had O as it's second letter. The third word also had an O and it was the fourth letter.
The both of them start to laugh.
"Just guess the phrase all ready!"
"Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder."
Kai writes down the rest of the letters and runs over to Cole to give him a high five.
"You forgot the hyphen but it's OK."
Kai laughs. "Sorry about that I usually see it without it."
It's OK! I'm just being a perfectionist."
As Kai laughs at Cole's statement. Cole looks at that SMARTboard with pride. But we jerks his head back to see a person hanging. It's probably because he watched an anime last night but that looks like...
"Hey Cole we gotta go! The SMARTboard and computer are off. What are you looking at?"
Cole looks at Kai then looks back at the board. It is off.
He runs towards the door and walks down the hallway with Kai.
Mysterious! :P
What was so scary about what Cole saw?
Who do you think is the murderer?
Have a good day/night!
