Sorry it's been so long. I've been super busy with school. Updates will be irregular for now. No comments today. Here's the next chapter...
It was still dark our, around three in the morning. He sat up and made sure his roommates were still sleeping then slipped out into the cool of night. He had to find her.
His friend said he saw her at the hospital. Why was he at the hospital again? He couldn't remember why, but he secretly hoped she'd still be there as he rolled down the empty highway towards new ninjago city.
She was there alright. He found her in the ICU. She bent over a death bound man on a stretcher and planted a kiss on his forehead. Rage began to fill him. He knew that if the coma didn't kill this man, he would as soon as he woke up.
Nobody could take his girl!
It wasn't her voice that announced her presence but rather her crutches. They clicked annoyingly with every move Nya made. It wasn't so much the pain that bothered her but how the crutches slowed her down. She liked to move fast, and it tended to clear her head. Oh, what she would have given to have the chance to go for a run and get her mind off everything that happened the day before!
"Good morning Cole."
"G'morning Nya. How'd you sleep last night?" Cole replied as he turned away from the news. The report on the accident was on, and Cole couldn't help but watch it. It destroyed him to see the wrecked car, but he just couldn't help watching it.
"I've slept better," Nya yawned and hobbled towards the kitchen table, "do you mind turning the tv off? I don't think I have the stomach to watch that."
Cole picked up the remote and switched the tv off, "Lloyd and Zane went out to pick up breakfast. They should be back in a few minutes."
Nya nodded, "Okay. Is there any more information on Kai?" Nya asked. It was the question she had been dying to ask ever since she woke up.
Cole shook his head, "I'm sorry Nya. There's nothing."
Nya stared at the floor and blinked back tears, "nothing?"
Cole winced. Where was Jay when he needed him, when Nya needed him? "Look, we'll go see him right after breakfast."
Nya nodded and sniffed. The two of them sat in silence a little bit longer. Finally, Nya spoke up, "Cole, where's Jay?"
Cole sat stiffly, pretending like he didn't hear the question. Truth was, he didn't know. Neither did Lloyd or Zane. At some point in the night he had just left.
"Cole?"
"I don't know... look, I don't know if this is my place to tell you, but Jay..."
"I know," Nya interrupted him.
"What?"
"I know. I heard you guys talking last night. Jay... Jay... I refuse to believe he's acting like this because it's his choice," Nya broke into hysteria, "if I'm ever given the chance to see Melina again, I swear I will kill her!"
"Whoa, Nya! Calm down!" Cole urged, "don't you think you're over reacting just a little bit? I think a life sentence in Kryptarium prison would be just fine for Melina."
"She hasn't done to you what she has to me. I just want them back," Nya cried.
"We'll get them back. I promise Nya," Cole assured her.
"How?"
"There's an old fairytale book I know. Melina reminds me of one of the characters..."
Whew! I'm finally getting to the part where in true Grimm spirit, they look into fairytales to find solutions. I love that show!
Disclaimer, I don't ship Nya and Cole, but I think they'd be really good friends.
Also, thanks to all of you for sticking with me through my crazy schedule. I really appreciate it. I know I haven't updated recently, but I'll try to do more. Just bear with me.
Have a great night everyone. God bless!
