Hey guys! I'm back! I'm still having that issue with one-word titles for chapters and stories, so if anyone has solutions for that, please let me know in your reviews. Thanks guys!

Thank you all for the reviews as well, you guys are soo kind, and thank you all for reading and reviewing. Glad y'all are enjoying reading this story as much as I'm enjoying writing it. Also, don't forget to read and review my one-shots, Together, Scars and Soulmates. You guys are epic, and thanks again for the support you've given me and my stories.

Anyway, CHAPTER 15! I can't believe how far this story has come already, and it's all thanks to you guys supporting it! So thanks again!

So, previously on "Help her!": (Honestly, I don't know why I do this sometimes, it's not like y'all would just skip a chapter or anything? Oh well)

So, Nya's returned and deflected Skylor's questions. But, she is now up and moving, not to mention already snarking Kai, so that's a good sign. So, without any further ado, onto the next chapter.

*yeets y'all onto Chapter 15*

Chapter 15

Skylor isn't used to constantly looking over her shoulder to ensure her adopted younger sister isn't there, about to attack her, but now she must accustom herself to it. It's a new habit, and while she isn't embracing it in any way, it's necessary. Kind of. The new habit had saved her in her youth multiple times, so it may do the same nowadays too.

It soon turns out that yes, this habit is now necessary again. Claire has appeared on the horizon a few times, though no one is sure about how she is managing to levitate like a humanoid bird, but only PIXAL has the equipment and nerves to approach her, and the Samurai X has never gotten close enough to properly analyse Claire before she flies away, leaving the situation shrouded in mystery. Other times, Steven will suddenly fade into existence on a similar spot before soaring over or around the monastery, surveying the walls and foundations for weaknesses, Skylor suspects. Neither of them dare to approach the building, however, so none of the ninja are able to fight back without, like Nya, dropping over the mountain face, plummeting to their death. Rarely, both of them will be visible in the sky, though it isn't a common sight. When this happens, every inhabitant of the monastery will immediately rush into the courtyard, ready to fight back, to defend their home and family. Any time could be the time of the big fight between the Chen girls. So far, however, there has been no battle, and each appearance has been a false alarm, leaving all of the ninja team, along with Skylor and PIXAL, poised for attack in the courtyard, drawing cold sneers, cruel laughs and mocking jeers and points from the two flying people. Claire would often be multitasking, gripping Steven's ankle as if it were a literal lifeline, while also taunting the opposing team. Each and every time this happens, no matter how cruel it may seem, Skylor crosses her fingers and prays for Claire to lose her grip, to go plunging down towards the ground, just as Steven runs out of gas for his jetpack-thing, and for him to plummet down behind her. The satisfying thud would be heard in the courtyard as they landed, dying quick though painful deaths. And the rest of Ninjago would never have to know the terror of those two individuals who wished to wage war on the ninja and friends, to take over the realm, not to mention to have their revenge on Skylor herself.

So Skylor's anxiety levels heighten constantly, leaving her to wallow in her fear for days and nights on end. Now Jay isn't the only one suffering from panic attacks, and Skylor loses sleep.

Kai, however, always has her back, helping her escape from the horrors of her worries and her little amount of sleep, no matter how nightmarish her nocturnal visions can get. Many nights, her head is plagued by dreams of raging fires, the smells of burning, death and blood filling the air, blood and gore covering the ground, pain filling her body as the same scarlet liquid burns down her limbs as her adopted sister somehow looms over her, though both stand at their tallest heights, and Claire brings her gleaming red blade down to strike Skylor's torso, instead flinging her back into the World of the Awake again. On those nights, Skylor wakes abruptly, shooting into an upright sitting position, sweat pouring from her forehead as she breathes heavily, rapidly bringing breath into her lungs before expelling it just as quickly. Most occasions, Kai will wake with her and hold her until she relaxes again, calming Skylor, but rarely he will sleep through her panic, and Skylor will have to sit, panting, for up to two hours before she can regain her ability to relax, to get back to sleep. On these nights, she will huddle up close to Kai, and he will wake in the morning to find her snoozing in his arms, her head against his chest due to her curled position. Rarer still, Skylor will remain awake until the birds in the trees and sky sing their melodies to each other, shaking her from her paralysed state of mind and body. This prophesied fight is ruining me. If I hadn't heard what that scroll said, maybe I'd be okay now, but no, I had to hear what that prophecy said.

The nights of little to no sleep drain both Kai and Skylor of their energy, leaving both tired and without much motivation while sparring. On several occasions, one or both of them can be found dozing in bed or on the sofas during training hours. Will this fight even be worth the stress? Skylor sure hopes so. As does everyone else.

Sparring has never been so serious in the memories of any of the ninja team. Even Zane doesn't have this on record. Which is saying something. The mock-fights are life-like, with little to no words, just the sounds of metal on metal, so loud it draws birds from their perches in the trees of the forest. The occasional Spinjitzu tornado is seen or heard, and its noise echoes in the silent courtyard, reverberating off the murals and walls. Sporadically, an elemental power will be used, sending fire, lightning, ice, green energy or earth across the courtyard. Skylor will, rarely, return the favour, mimicking a power to send it back at her opponent, or using another fighter's element, even if they are engaged in a different fight. Before long, lunch is called from the monastery walls, and Skylor sighs. Finally. All six enter the building to find Nya and PIXAL in the kitchen. As the others arrive in the kitchen, the two girls start to hand out sandwiches before joining them at the table to eat. It upsets Skylor slightly to see Nya unable to fight still, since she has been recovering quickly recently. Of course, her wrist is holding her back, because Nya is the only lefty in the group and she had sprained her left wrist. Being ambidextrous has its perks, but Nya has never really felt the need to just fight with her right arm. That means that Nya has lost the advantage of striking from a point that the enemies wouldn't have been expecting, considering the rest of the team are all right-handed so fight with those hands, so her clashes are longer than normal whenever she does train. She is also tired out easier, feeling more drained from using her right arm all the time, and she often skips the morning spars in the courtyard.

Nya joins the others in the courtyard after lunch, though she only spectates the mock battles, occasionally pointing out a flaw in someone's technique. Nya never struck Skylor as the attack expert of the team, though in this instance, it's a pleasant surprise to her. Instead of scowling when Nya tells her how to improve her fighting, like Kai, she smiles and attempts to execute the action as Nya recommends. Jay and Lloyd are also glad to get Nya's opinions on their moves, and Cole and Zane soon join them, pleasing the water ninja.

Two hours after dinner, Nya and Skylor sit together on the sofa, sipping hot chocolates that Nya made with the drinks machine in the kitchen. Nya is curled up like a kitten in one corner, while Skylor rests her right arm on the armrest next to her on the other side. A movie plays on the TV, and both girls stare intently at the screen for an hour without a word. During a commercial break, Nya stands and takes both empty mugs into the kitchen, and Skylor hears them clink against each other as she puts them into the sink to be washed up the next day. Nya soon enters the living room again, and returns to her seat on the sofa, once again pulling her knees up to her torso and wrapping her right arm around them, laying her left arm across the armrest.

"Thanks." Nya's voice, however quiet, seems loud in the room, and Skylor sharply turns her head to face her.

"What for?" Skylor asks. After all, why should the water ninja thank her? What had she done?

"For everything." Nya replies vaguely. "For not giving up on me. For helping me out with my injuries and traumatised, useless state. For supporting me. For welcoming my advise, even after my absence. For letting me back in without a question." Skylor hasn't expected this, and she recoils slightly in the cushions. Of course, she had welcomed Nya back with open arms, since she had been helping in the search to find her the whole time. She was so quick to let her back in, that there wasn't any time to ask any questions. She had missed the sound of Nya's voice in the monastery, and was just as ready to hear her suggestions for improvement as ever. Heck, after this long, Skylor would even have accepted insults and rage from Nya, as long as she could hear the water ninja's voice again. Nya could even become just as bad as Claire, and Skylor wouldn't bat an eye.

"That's what family's here for."

A/N: GUYS I HAVE WIFI AGAIN!

Finally, a chapter that will be out at a decent time of day, not at two in the morning! :D

I hope you guys will forgive me for not posting this for ages, but like I said, we had no WiFi for a bit. A new chapter should be out in a day or two, but I have another long road trip across the country tonight, and I have no more mobile data, so this may have to be put off until Monday. *shrugs* sorry guys.

Anyway, I hope you guys liked this chapter, I just thought I liked the whole fluff at the end, cos for a long time I pictured Nya and Skylor as being really close friends. I honestly don't know why, but I did, so I made that fluff. I'm gonna be working on a new one-shot today as well, so be on the lookout for that if you enjoy my one-shots. I'm also gonna try to make a new story, also Skylor-centred. I write about Skylor because I just think that her character is still kinda shrouded in quite a bit of mystery. Anyway, see you guys soon.

Bye guys! See you all soon!

This is LunaPikazard, signing off.
