I hope you enjoyed the first chapter because…*says something but voice is muffled by Alex*
Alex: And you yell at me for spoilers!
*licks Alex's hand causing her to pull back* Just read the chapter.
"Well don't just stand there! Read it!" Kai insisted.
Alex nodded. "Just remember, I was seven and my brother had been taken by skeletons two months prior. Also, I didn't know that prophecies were suppose to rhyme..."
"Alex, please just read it," Zoey said.
Alex sighed. "'Ruins of a land some forgotten, are remembered and ventured to. And the crash inside the ruins will indicate the beginning. The soundless day that turns to night will be the end.'" She stopped and stared at the scroll. "That's not right."
"What's not right?" Zane asked.
"This symbol," Alex replied. "It means 'start.'"
"So?" Cole asked.
"Does 'In the start' make any sense to you?" Alex replied with a question. "It's suppose to say 'beginnig.'"
"Just keep reading," Jay said.
"'In the beginning there was nothing until the First Spinjitzu Master made it,'" Alex continued. "'Fate chose when everything would be made. Though somethings were good, Fate could be a cruel spirit. It made it so everything had a consequence. Even the First Spinjitzu Master couldn't keep it in check.'" Alex stopped and looked up to her mom. "Can I stop now? What's the point of me reading this?"
"You wrote it," Misako said. "It may not be this exact copy, but... it's best if you read it."
Alex rolled her eyes and shook her head. "'Fate kept Chaos at bay, something that no one else could do, so the First Spinjitzu Master did not get rid of Fate. It was a mistake.
"'Years later, a group of ninja were messing around when they found an old house. It was in ruins and no one lived in it for years, but the group heard something that drew them to it. They couldn't just ignore it, so they walked into the house,'" Alex stopped and looked up. "Do you hear that?"
"Keep reading," Garmadon instructed. "No getting distracted."
"No, I'm serious," Alex said, trying to listen. "Just shush." Everything got completely quiet. Then there was a quiet whistling sound.
"Yeah, what is that?" Lucas asked, looking around.
"Ug, don't tell me the apartment is gonna blow up too," Jay groaned.
"No," Zoey said. "It's something—or someone—else."
Alex tensed. She looked over the scroll. "'A strong whistle blew in the distance, but only one ninja heard it. He backed up and fled the ruins, leaving his friends behind.'"
"So... how does whoever's doing it expect one of us to just leave?" Cole asked.
"By forcing us to," Lucas said softly, almost inaudible. "This guy, whoever he is knows what the scroll that was suposively burned said. He probably has his ways."
"Or she..." Nya mumbled.
It was silent amoung the ninja as the whistle sound faded out. The lights flickered and turned off. Something moved and the curtains fell over the large windows. Zane reacted quick and his head began to glow. Everyone looked around.
"This is getting freakier," Tove whispered. "That's saying something from someone who's part ghost."
"Everyone stick together," Wu said.
Alex grabbed Cole's hand, holding up the scroll in her other. "I can't read it..."
"It's fine now," Cole whispered.
"Does anyone have any idea who we might be going up against?" Kai asked.
"A man that goes by the name of Julic," Zoey said. "Alex, Cole, I believe you have met him before."
"Zoey, wanna tell us how he got the scroll?" Lucas asked. "I assume you can see it right?"
"Not clearly," Zoey said.
"Something just occurred to me," Lloyd said.
"What?" Misako asked.
"Jay hasn't said anything since the lights went out," he replied.
Everyone started looking around and then the lights came on. Nya collapsed into her brother's arms. Jay was gone.
Jay: Hey!
Alex: Don't look at me!
It was Lucas's idea!
Lucas: No it wasn't! It was–
Cole: Review!
