Chapter 15 starts now.
? POV
I have got to think of a way to win Kennedy over! But how? Should I just kill the green boy already? He is already driving me off the edge. Oh, but I can't stand seeing Kennedy so sad. But that's my only option! What else could I possibly do? Well, I've heard that it was her birthday, which quickly went by. Maybe I should get her a present! Yes, something far more valuable than that fake gold ring! But what will I get her? Hmm, I'll have to think of that later. Right now, I have to think of a way to introduce myself.
Later…
I have decided what to get her and I know that she will be very pleased with what I've got. By then she would want to be with me! I'm going to the Ninjago Museum at dusk. And when I retrieve what I am after I will leave a note on Kennedy's window, explaining to meet me at the park. Brilliant! I am such a genius! This plan is going to go just fine.
At the Museum…
Ok, I'm going in. Oh, what if I get caught? What if there are cameras? Oh, right. I almost forgot that I am a vampire! You can't see them on camera. How silly of me. Now which way did I see it? I stopped at a corner with two hall ways. I chose the one on the left and started walking again.
I've been walking to the point where I just started floating. This is going to take longer than I thought. This continued for over 30 minutes until finally, I've found it. It was sitting in a purple box inside a large glass border. I read the sign beside it. "Please, do not touch." Ok, I won't touch it. I hovered over to it and stared at it. Just simply stared at it. A few minutes past until finally, the glass border shattered into a billion pieces. (I learned that one from my father, but I ended up breaking things everywhere I go. So I had to not stare at anything for a while.) I grabbed the box and quickly left for the Destiny's Bounty.
At the Bounty…
Kennedy's POV
It feels so great to be back! I miss this whole place. I miss my room, Jay's talkative mouth, Zane's cooking, Cole's obsession for cake, Kai's spiky hair, Lloyd's silliness, Nya's intelligence, everything around here! I plopped down on my bed, rolling around in the soft covers when all of the sudden, I heard a light knock on the window. I got up and opened it. On the window sill sat a piece of paper and….a pink rose? "What the mess?" I read the note.
Hello Kennedy.
I've wanting to meet you for a very long time. But I never did, because….well…I was afraid you would not like me, for who I am or what I am. So from then on, I started following you to learn more things about you. One day when you came home from school, I saw you and your brother fighting over a laptop. You took it away from him and did something on it. And then both of you, including me, were sucked inside it! But anyway, I wrote this note because I couldn't wait any longer for us to meet face to face. So meet me in Ninjago Central Park at 12:00 p.m. I have a surprise for you.
I'll be waiting for you, my pink rose.
'R'
The 'R' had little devil horns and a tail drawn on it. I let the note drop out of my hands. This guy…has been following me? I guess that explains why I'm so paranoid. But do I seriously want to go see the dude? Well he does sound like a nice guy who wouldn't hurt a fly. And the note said that he had a surprise for me, so I guess I do have a reason to go. But at 12:00?! Is this guy crazy?! Everyone will be asleep by then. Who knows what could be out there. What does the 'R' stand for? Raymond? Randy? I don't know. I looked at the note then at the rose. And thought, "I wonder what the surprise is."
Later…
This is creepy. I normally would have turned back but something inside me told me to keep going. When I got to the park I sat on a bench. All of the sudden, a loud crack of thunder scared the mess out of me! I jumped and held my stomach in pain. I forgot about my broken ribs, they can get annoying at times. Just when things couldn't get any worse, it started raining. I crossed my arms and pouted. "Great, I knew there was going to be a storm today, but I didn't even bother to bring an umbrella?! That is just salty."
"Hello." I turned my head to see a hooded figure. Just then, lightning raced its way across the sky and just when my eyes met the figure's face, my heart almost jumped out of my chest. The lightning lit up the sky and bounced off his face. I was immediately afraid of his face. He was….smiling. A rather toothy smile with…..with…fangs?! I screamed and fell off the bench. He started walking towards me and I quickly backed away with every step he took. "Please, don't be afraid. I'm the one who sent you the note, remember?" The look of horror on my face turned to a look of confusion. "You're 'R'?" He nodded and smiled, this time without showing his teeth. "Yes, I am sorry for my false appearance. I am Rackson. You may call me Rack for short." A/N: I know, Rackson is not a real name, but just go with it. He held out his hand. I grabbed it and he pulled me up with so much strength I almost fell onto him. Wow…he is so tall! He towered over me at like half a foot. Another bolt of lightning raced across the sky and I could make an orange hoodie, jeans and red converse. It seem like we had a staring contest for 5 minute. My dark brown eyes looking into his blood red eyes. Please tell me those are just contacts! I notice and looked away and blushed. "We should probably get somewhere dry." He led me to a tree and we sat down under it.
"So, you're the guy who's been….you know." Rack didn't answer at first but then nodded. "I hope you're not mad at me." "No, not at all! I actually think it was kinda sweet." "You really think so?" "Yeah." He smiled and a blush came upon his pale cheeks. "So, about the surprise I told you about," He pulled a purple box out from under his hoodie. "I heard yesterday was your birthday. I know it's late, but it's worth it. It took me a long while to get a hold of this." Rack opened the box and inside it was….a diamond! …..A really huge diamond! "Happy birthday, Kennedy." "Oh, Rack! It's beautiful! How were you able to get this?" "Um….well, it's a long story." I reached my hand out to touch it but Rack quickly closed the box. "You have to be very careful with it." I nodded and he handed the box to me.
After a few minutes, it stopped raining. "Well, I guess I have to get back home." I said as I stood up. "I'll come with you." Rack said. "Sure!"
Normal POV
Rack and Kennedy walked along the street telling each other what they did in life. Four men surrounded them. "Hey guys, looks like we got ourselves some fresh meat." The first man said. The second man saw the purple box. "What's that?" He snatched the box out of Kennedy's hands. "Hey! Give that back!" He pushed her down on the concrete and she held her stomach. "Leave her alone!" Rack shouted. "What'cha gonna do about it, kid?" The fourth man said as he pushed Rack. "Don't push me!" He kept pushing Rack. The second man opened the box. "Holy cow! Frank, it's a diamond!" Frank whirled around and snatched the box away. "By golly, you're right Billy! This is our lucky day!" "That Kennedy's diamond! Give it back to her!" Rack's red eyes suddenly turned to slits. He jumped up, kicked Frank in the face a grabbed the box out of his hands. "Stan, Gibson, get the kid!" Frank said, with a bloody nose. Kennedy had run into an ally, not wanting to get hurt even more. Stan and Gibson tried to catch Rack, but both of them just ended up with either a broken nose or a black eye. Billy charged at him and Rack stuck his fist out which he ran into. He then threw up everywhere. Frank watched the whole thing and was now terrified. He looked at Rack. He hissed. Frank scrambled away leave a trail of yellow liquid behind him. A/N: XD
Racks eyes turned back to normal. "Kennedy! Where are you? Are you ok?" Kennedy poked her head out of the ally and waved her hand. "I'm over here, Rack! I'm okay!"
Rack helped Kennedy into her room. She hugged him. "Goodbye, Rack. Thank you for the diamond." He blush many shades of red and hugged her back. "Goodbye. Make sure you keep it safe in your room." "Ok!" Kennedy waved to him and closed her window. Rack smile, fangs flashing, and transformed into a bat.
