Chapter 3
Telekinesis and Little Wu
Harumi's POV
As I came home after the bus dropped me off, a couple of hands caught me by the arms which startled ne. I turned behind me, and it was two guards.
"Princess Harumi, we're sorry for scaring you. We thought you were someone else. Please, come inside."
The guards took me insidethe palace. I mean it was beautiful. It was also known as the palace of secrets. You want to know what they call it the palace of secrets? I can't tell you, then it wouldn't be a secret.
I went to my room to go do my homework. 30 minutes later I was done with it. I heard Hutchins called me down for dinner.
"Princess Harumi, it's time for dinner."
Hutchins was a man with gray hair. He was light green robes and had an eyepatch around his right eye. I never knew how he lost it. My guess he lost it in battle. I came to the table to have dinner. If you lived in a royal palace you would save that it was the biggest table ever. The Royal Palace I live in, has the biggest table ever. It had 28 seats on both sides and 2 seats on the north and south angle. I sat down and got ready to eat. It was spaghetti. My father, the Emperor of Ninjago, was sitting across from me. My step-father had grey hair and a gray thing mustache. My mother was next to me. She had white short hair. My mother and I dyed our hair white by the time she and the Emperor got married.
"So, Harumi, how was the first day of school."
"It was fine, Mom."
"Did you make any friends, my daughter?"
"7 of them. One of them is like a movie expert."
"Did you hang out with Lloyd Garmadon."
My father always asked me that question because he didn't like him. He used to work with his dad but them they had an argument. I can't remember what it was, but it had something to do with me.
"Emperor, my friend, Lloyd, is really nice, he's not like his father."
"His father had evil running through his veins," said The Emperor.
"Yeah, that was true, Emperor. But his family isn't bad. Garmadon needed me for something. What was it?"
"May I say a word, your highness?"
"Sure, Hutchins."
Hutchins stood up and went to my seat. Hutchins was the only one who understands me. He's nice and is sort of like a father figure to me.
"Harumi, Garmadon needed you to become ninja."
"Me, A ninja?"
Hutchins nodded.
"Why did he choose me?"
"Harumi, you're ready to know this. Your birth father was an elemental master of Telekinesis."
"You mean like he can move things with his mind?"
"Precisely, Harumi. Garmadon came here to train the next generation of elemental masters. Their elements are Earth, Ice, Lightning, Fire, Energy, Water, Wind, and Telekinesis. The master of Telekinesis is sitting in this room. And I'm looking at her."
I stood there in shocked. Could I really be An Elemental Master of Telekinesis after my father.
"You are serious."
"Yes, Harumi. It's true."
"That's enough, Hutchins! Harumi, what I'm trying to tell you that you are royalty! He is not!
This filled me with tears. The Emperor was always saying only the Royal Family were the only one with royalty.
"Emperor, I hate you so much! I WISH YOU WEREN'T MY FATHER!"
All of the sudden glasses started to break of the yelling I did. All of the cups except for mine. I ran up to my room in tears.
"Honey, give Harumi some space."
I cried for almost an hour. I heard a "coo" coming from my window. It was a baby "coo". All off the sudden, a dark shadowy figure came in my room. Bu tit was a young face. It was human but younger. It was a toddler. The toddler walked to me. He noticed I was crying. He wanted to make me feel better. He grabbed some flower from the vase next to my mirror. He handed the flower to me. I took the flower out of his hand.
"For you."
My eyes were in shocked, a toddler just talked.
"I want to stay with you."
The toddler smiled at me. He must really like me. By the look of it he didn't have a home. I needed to give him a name. Then, I looked at my history books next to me. On one of the covers was Wu, Garmadon's brother. I decided to name him after the great Master Wu.
"Of course, you can stay with us. I'm Harumi."
The toddler smiled even more. He thought I was now his sister. I want to be his sister. I want to take care of him. I don't want anything to happen to him.
"And I'll take care of you no matter what. Little Wu."
The toddler smiled. I told Hutchins about the toddler. I didn't want him to be the Prince of the royal family. I wanted him to grow up and have a family. Hutchins suggested to let Little Wu to sleep with me tonight. Little Wu screamed with excitement. After Little Wu went to sleep, I stayed up late to get my homework done.
When I went to sleep, the nightmare happened. I became the Quiet One again alongside me were the three generals and the four-armed black skinned Skelton. We were on a battlefield in Ninjago City killing a couple of young men and women with powers. Elemental Masters, possibly. I went to the sewers to kill a powerless Green Ninja. I came down to an entrance to find his hideout. His hideout had a green dragon mech, along a water strider mech. I looked all over for hi in the room. He was not there. But then, someone or something was breathing on my neck. I turned around to see what it was. It was a girl with yellow eyes. I couldn't see her face, only her eyes.
"Hello, little girl."
I screamed in terror as I looked at the girl. I woke up with sweat on my face from the nightmare. My mother came in my room. By the look of her face, she seemed worried.
"Harumi, are you OK?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a nightmare."
My mother left the room. I didn't go back to sleep, because I knew she would be back.
