Hey guys! I was busy today, but if I wasn't, I would have had this out earlier. Also, tomorrow will be busy again, so don't expect one tomorrow, but please be grateful if I can release a new one. I'll try, but no promises. :)
Anyway, so we know Nya's back now! :D
I'm sorry I had to take y'all down Emotion Lane, but it was necessary! But now, onto the next chapter!
Chapter 14
Skylor paces outside Nya's room nervously. What will the water ninja say to me? Will she blame me for this? But how am I responsible? She leapt in front of me. I didn't push her. Did I? Nya's voice comes out through the wooden door, weak and quiet, granting Skylor entry. She slowly, carefully, pushes the door and steps into the other girl's room, pulling it shut behind her. The redhead then sits cross-legged on the floor by Nya's bed, regarding her younger sister-in-law as she lay, recovering, in bed. Her left wrist has been wrapped in bandages, and Skylor wonders why. Noticing where Skylor's gaze is, Nya lifts her arm off her mattress, letting Skylor have a better look. Gently, Nya lowers her wrist, and Skylor carefully holds it in her fingers, remaining silent.
"It's just sprained. It's not broken." Nya reassures the master of Amber, though that hadn't been what Skylor has been worried about. Still, she wonders if Nya is hiding something worse under the white wrap, possibly cuts that would leave scars like her own. At least we can be different together...
"So..." Skylor doesn't realise what she's saying until she's said it. "What happened? Why couldn't we find you again? Where did you go?" The questions all come out in a long, uninterrupted stream, and Skylor only just manages to stop it with intense self-control. Nya, however, seems unaffected by the sudden quick-fire inquiries, and answers them in their own ways.
"It's a long story, and one I'm saving for when I only have to tell it once. Again, I'll explain later. You couldn't find me because I wasn't there. I realise that only raises more questions without answering any, but it's necessary." Nya frowns slightly, and Skylor mirrors the action, though she remains silent.
"How much longer do you think you'll be... confined?... to this one room? When do you think you'll be recovered enough to... you know... walk around again and fight and... just resume your life before this all happened?" Nya laughs slightly at the word 'confined' before answering Skylor's newest question.
"Honestly, I really don't know, but I think and hope that it'll be soon. I really want to be able to... how did you word it?... 'resume my life', but I don't know how long it'll take. Besides, my wrist is sprained so that will take time. Even more if it really is broken. Zane and PIXAL are still unsure about it." That doesn't really comfort Skylor, and she shifts uncomfortably on the aqua-blue carpet.
Two hours later, Skylor is training outside with Kai, preparing for another confrontation with Claire. Ever since they heard the prophecy of Skylor's oncoming battle with her adopted younger sister, everyone has been put on edge, insisting that almost every spare second is spent training. The master of Amber is no different.
She and her boyfriend spar in the courtyard until another figure appears in the doorway of the monastery, and Kai's head turns distractedly, giving Skylor a moment to strike. She lands a kick on the right side of Kai's head, and he spins as he flies through the air before landing, face down, on the concrete of the courtyard ground. Nya's laugh can be heard from the doorway, and Skylor grins as she looks at the master of Water. The two girls high-five, and Nya starts to give her brother a mini lecture.
"Never take your focus off of your fight, Kai! That was one of the first things Master Wu taught us all!" Skylor laughs harder as she walks towards the front doors of the building in pursuit of a glass of water. Life will soon be back to normal, since Nya has already recovered enough to walk around and snark her older brother. Yes, things will be back to normal again soon. Though what is normal?
A/N: sorry for the delay guys! I've been trying to get these out daily, but the lifestyle of a teenager isn't always gonna go the way you want. I've had stuff going on, and this weekend might be busy as well, so a heads-up for that. Expect a shortage of chapters this weekend, but if anything does come out, that'll be a pleasant surprise for all of us XD. Also, it's took two days to write, so that's why I said that "today was busy and tomorrow will be too" I wrote that yesterday, and today was busy, and I expect that tomorrow will also be busy... ya know what? I'm busy! But this is one of my biggest priorities, so I'll really try to get these out without losing too much sleep. That's right, I'm gonna try to post these at decent times in the day, not at midnight or four in the morning! Yayyyyyy...
I've also just realised that this one is again quite short, sorry about that, but I wasn't sure how to continue this chapter. Oh well. It's no longer this chapter that I need to worry about. It's now... CHAPTER 15?! Woahhhhh. Okay then. Wow.
Okay, so I'll see you guys soon!
WOW THIS WAS OUT BEFORE MIDNIGHT! IT'S A MIRACLE GUYS! *party popper*
Bye guys! See y'all again soon! Hopefully!
