Here's chapter 5.
Chapter 5
The 'figure' laughed as Jay slowly collapsed. It slowly lowered its staff, in which there was blue dust swirling around. Nya rushed over to Jay and fell on her knees.
"Oh, don't worry. Your friend is not dead. He's just soulless."
"What do you mean by soulless?" Nya said, sobbing.
"He will stay in eternal sleep until he gets his soul back."
"Does that mean that we can get his soul back?" Zane asked.
"You could, but you see – unfortunately for you, I have the soul. And I'm not planning to give it back to you anytime soon. I'm planning to make something very veil with it – oops I think I got carried away with the talking," the 'figure' chuckled, and then he disappeared.
"No- we can't let him get away!" Cole shouted.
"It's too late now, Cole. We need to try get his soul back," said Lloyd. "But for now, we should head back home. We need to tell sensei what happened."
Cole nodded. He picked up Jay by his legs, while Zane took the arms. Kai helped Nya to stand up, and put his arm around her. Cole looked back at the spot where the dark figure was standing.
„We'll find you, and we'll get Jay's soul back. I promise, and I don't break promises."
Kai's POV
I still can't believe what happened. Jay has sacrificed himself. Why would he do that? He always made fun of Cole, and wasn't really too much of friends with him. Now we have to try our best to find that 'figure' and get his soul back. But how? We have no clues whatsoever and we don't even know who that figure was. I sighed. I might as well go and check on Cole.
I got up from my bed and walked towards the room ahead of mine. Since Lloyd defeated the Overlord we got to have our own rooms, which took me awhile to get used to. I knocked lightly on the closed door.
"Cole? Can I come in?"
"Yeah," he answered softly. I could tell by his voice that he was crying. I slowly opened the door.
"Are you ok? Why were you crying?" I sat down beside him.
"Wha- how do you know I was crying?" he answered. "And I can't really decide what I'm feeling. Am I feeling shaken? Terrified or guilty? I guess I'm just feeling all of those. I can't get over what Jay did for me, I hope that we can find that 'figure' soon."
I placed my hand on his and smiled. "Don't worry. I'm sure we'll find him quick enough, and get Jay's soul back. You won't feel guilty then, and you shouldn't now. It's not your fault."
Cole looked at me. "But it is my fault. If I jumped down with you at the same time, I would be stuck in that cage with you. The 'figure' wouldn't be able to take anyone's soul then."
"Cole, he still would be able to."
Cole shrugged and said, "There was something I was going to ask you before you got captured and all that stuff."
"What is it?"
"Will you go out with me on a- date?" he blushed. "I know, I know, it's not the best time to be dating when we have to be looking for the 'figure', but-"
"Cole, of course I will," I said, blushing too.
"R- really? Kai, I-" before he said the rest, I shushed him and gave him a light kiss on his mouth.
"Tomorrow? At 8?" I asked.
Cole nodded, unable to say anything. I smiled and quietly left the room, leaving Cole to his own thoughts.
"I wonder where that 'figure' could be right now," Zane said. "Do you think he's making an army or something?
"An army out of one soul? Maybe he wants to use Jay's soul on himself to become the lightning master," Kai suggested. "Who knows what's possible these days?"
"I don't think it's either of those. We only have to wait and see," said sensei. "And while we're waiting, some training wouldn't do us bad."
Lloyd frowned. "But we already trained yesterday..."
"Lloyd, evil doesn't wait to attack when we're ready. It can attack at any time, that's why we want to be ready when the time comes. Now, go and don't waste any time!"
Kai and Zane giggled.
"You too!" sensei said, and smacked them with his bamboo staff on their heads.
Not much happened in this chapter, but I hope that you still enjoyed. I will post the next chapter either tomorrow or on Tuesday.
