Chapter Five
This Can't Be Happening Now
Megan's Point of View:
"Well, this is just great!" Amari shouted.
"Do you think he's trying to do another one of his tests?" Rachel comments.
Amari gives a look of irritation at the ceiling above her, "He better not be, because I don't plan on going through this crap again!"
"Hey, that's our father you're talking about, remember?" I said.
"Wait," Cole starts. "So you guys know what's going on?"
"With us, yes. With Lexis, no," Amari replied.
"Every once in a while, He and General decide to give us these tests. Tests that will help us understand how to deal with things on Earth without the use of our powers. Which means from now on we are fully human until He changes us back," I described thoroughly.
"And how long does that usually last?" Nya asked.
"It's hard to say," says Rachel.
"It's kind of like when angels regenerate," Amari adds. "The amount of time depends on the setting and/or person."
Everyone exchanged looks of confusion and interest to one another. The minutes ticked by as I skipped back to the battle strategy subject. It took a while explain, and there were a few complicated questions here and there, but I made it through and cleared the air.
To be fully honest, I couldn't help but catch the small smiles coming from each of their faces once we finished our small meeting and decided to sit around each other on the ground and few bean bags we had. We all laughed and discussed with each other, telling stories and sharing embarrassing moments we had all experienced sometime in our lives. It was nice.
Then, at some point, we all just fell asleep; right there on the spot. I couldn't blame anybody; after all, we had been awake literally all throughout the night.
Amari's Point of View:
Yep, the day had been extraordinary. It felt like we hadn't had good days like this in forever.
It was nearly daybreak when it happened. I'd gotten up for only a moment to get something to drink. As I was walking down the dark and dim-lit hallway, a crashing sound of breaking glass exploded into the air; causing me to jump and scurry a few steps down the way I came.
"What the-" I muttered.
Slowly taking large, silent steps back up the hallway, I peered over the corner of the wall and saw nothing but broken glass scattered across the floor; along with a think piece of something barely shimmering in the small light.
Making sure the coast was clear; I flip the light switch on and cautiously walk over to the rims of glass. Finally, I got a better look at the thick object and realized that it was a large stone with a piece of paper tied on it.
Now a normal person would have read the note and told someone about it, but in case you haven't noticed, I'm definitely FAR from normal. So, in my instinct, I clutched the stone I my hand and jump out the window to the cascade of jungle trees below; preceding my journey to find out where this came from and who meant business.
6:02 a.m.
Roaming the forests of Ninjago, what else is new?
"Okay," I say out loud. "If I were a creepy stalker slash major league pitcher who likes to leave weird notes in people's homes, where would I be?" Keeping that thought in mind, I continued down the thick, grassy surface of the long and endless sights of the remaining forest.
