Hey guys! Welcome to the first official chapter of Breaking out! I really don't have anything else to say... Oh apart from I don't own anything else apart from Calli!
Hope you Enjoy!


(One year later)

Calli's eyes were glued to the pages of the book in her lap, pencil in hand, softly humming along to a song she'd heard on the radio a couple of days ago. She could hear videogame noises in the background but they didn't bother her as much as they had in the beginning. What did interrupt her, however, was a sudden voice.

"I will be leaving for a while, you know what to do." The girl tore her eyes from the last words to look at Master Wu, the man that took her of the street a year ago.

"Ye're leaving me alone?" She asked incredulously, not at all bothering to hide her accent. "With'em? Why not put me in the monkey cage in the zoo? In hindsight, monkeys at least know when to do chores."

"Hey!" The redhead bit down on her pencil to hide the smirk on her face. While she was still annoyed at having to do the chores of her housemates, once again, she did enjoy making them feel guilty about it. She swallowed the smirk as Wu rolled his eyes at the familiar scene and Calli turned to her housemates with an annoyed glare. Wu just shook his head and walked out of the door.

"Hey nothin', Jay, this's the third time this week. Fourth, if ye count the time Zane was nice enough to gimme a break."

The first boy, Jay, had ginger/brown hair, bright blue eyes that looked between annoyed and guilty at the moment and a fair skin and light freckles.

It had been 8 months since Calli had first met Jay when Wu had taken him to the monastery. Cole and Zane quickly followed. Jay was the most impulsive and emotional them and also the most forgetful.

Zane was looking in between Jay and the only Female resident. He was the most serious and focussed, albeit to much at sometimes. He had icy white hair and matching grey eyes with a pale complexion.

"Still, I'm not a monkey" Jay protested heavily making the third boy, Cole, snicker.

"You sure about that? You're just as flexible." He said, not taking his eyes of his game.

Cole was the tallest of the three (Standing at 185cm or 6 feet), followed by Zane (174cm or 5 feet 7) then jay (168cm or 5 feet 5), with a persona in-between the two others. While he was more serious, you could still catch him goofing off a lot. He had a darker skin color, Caramel even, even without the little tan he had now, and dark brown eyes and black hair.

Jay rolled his eyes at his friend's remark and grabbed his controller, he decided to play even by stabbing Cole's character in the back, quite literally.

"HEY! JAY!?" Seeing the oncoming argument unfold, Calli sighed, pinched the bridge of her nose, grabbed her book and walked outside, mumbling something about them giving her a headache.

Why was it that she was the youngest and they acted like children? She at least thought she was the youngest. She was at least in between the 13 and 17 years of age, so she decided herself 15. Jay was closest as he was 15 as well, Zane was 16 and Cole was not only the tallest, but the eldest as well, with 17 years of age.

Calli sat down outside the gates on the last step of the giant set of steps that lead up the mountain. You couldn't even see the bottom; it wasn't called the mountain of impossible height for nothing. Opening her book back to where she'd stopped, the orange haired girl smiled to herself as she tuned in to the argument inside.

While she had to warm up to the boys for a long time, she quite liked them. She'd had the most trouble with Jay, as she more often than not found him annoying, due to a lot of questioning about her which she wasn't very comfortable with, but she had learned to appreciate his ways to lighten the mood and his sarcasm. Cole and Zane had been easier for her, due to being prepared after Jay and because the Former didn't ask questions that he didn't want to answer himself.

But the hardest part for her, was to admit to herself that she enjoyed people around her that didn't judge her and wanted to actually talk to her because they wanted to, not out of pity. She enjoyed playfully arguing with Jay, striking conversations at 6 in the morning with Zane and being outdoors with Cole, which was mostly him climbing the mountain and her either reading or walking along over the stairs.

It wasn't until she let out a sigh she realized she wasn't alone outside anymore. A voice suddenly spoke up, making the girl jump up.

"Aren't you cold?" While the girl tried to calm her beating heart, she glared daggers at the new arrival. Cole, however, wasn't faced by it and sat down next to her.

Like the others on their days off he'd discarded his black training Gi in favour of a pair of jeans and a black hoody.

"One: You really want me to fall off this mountain, don' ya? And two: no, I am not."

"One:" Cole mimicked her with a playful grin. "It was only one time and that was barely my fault, and two: you've got chicken skin."

Calli rolled her eyes playfully at his observation as she closed her book in her lap. "Just because I 'ave chicken skin doesn' mean I'm cold."

Cole eyed the girl with a sceptical look, she always insisted she was fine even when she wasn't. She always was a bit distant from them, He knew she trusted the three of them, but it was obvious past experiences made her keep just that bit of distance but She never spoke of those. He remembered when he first came here. 'She's always like that, Ignores me mostly.' Jay had told him then, only to get a dirty look from the petite ginger.

The older boy just now noticed her looking at him, as Amethyst eyes met dark brown. An unusual color, but he couldn't say he didn't like it.

"Is something the matter?"

Cole shook his head, not breaking eye contact with the gemstone colored orbs. "No just thinking." This made her raise her eyebrows.

"About wha'?" She was curious.

"Nothing." She didn't drop her raised eyebrow but didn't question it any further. Comfortable silence fell between them, Calli was playing with the cover of her book while whereas Cole tried to see what she was reading exactly. It was no secret the girl was somewhat of a bibliophile. Always with her nose in a book when she had the time. Cole barely read the words 'The Silver eyes.' On the cover before she laid it down next to her.

"Why'd you come 'ere?" Calli couldn't help but to vocalize her thoughts. The boy shrugged.

"You seemed like you needed company."

"Oh." Calli suddenly couldn't help but feel bad about asking, As the tone was one that implied she didn't want him here. The dark-haired boy just flashed her a smile which she shyly returned. Silence returned again when Cole suddenly moved to sit next to her, allowing him to properly look out of the gate.

Calli wanted to find another topic to talk about but found that she was unable to. She always had this problem when it came to him. Why? She didn't know that, but she found she was most comfortable with the black-haired boy when there was silence between the two of them.

Suddenly a cold wind was sending shivers down the girl's spine. Maybe it would be a good idea to go inside, emphasis on the maybe, because she made no effort to move.

Calli's eyes quickly moved over to her friend and back to the view before Cole stood and stretched.

"I'm gonna climb for a while, Wanna walk with?"

The girl smiled and stood up, book in hand.

"Sure"


Hey guys! A little heads up here! The thing is I will have to admit that updates will be slow, or at least somewhat. With a little bit of luck I'm able to do one episode per week but this is NO promise! Other thing; I had a whole lore point written out as i started this but I realised that, thanks to the Sons of Garmadon, that I could throw out of the window completely. Problem with that, I had already written down the first 10 chapters (excluding the prologue.) and since I proof-read and edit everything myself, some things might slip trough, no matter how hard I look with markers and pens. (Yes, I print everything out because a different view can help you find errors you don't see on a computer-screen.) So if you see anything that seems like it's going no-where or seems out of place let me know and if it happens to be a oversight I can fix it.

So now that that's out of the way:

I hope you enjoyed the first official chapter of Breaking Out!
