Chap two! Enjoy!
Chapter two: feelings?
Back at the bounty they put the strange girl in a spare bed and Lloyd is watching her just incase she wakes up. They were glad they heard her yell or she would have died. It was late into the night. The team was trying to stay up, but Alexus had long since fallen asleep, her head resting in Cole's lap. He didn't mind, though, it was quite pleasant to him.
Then sunlight flittered into the room and sensei started to bang a gong yelling, "rise and shine!" Then they started to groggily wake up. "Where is Lloyd?" Kai asks. "Still watching over our guest." Sensei replied. Then Jay started rambling "Um..ya..about her..who is she? What do we do about her? She's a bit off if you guys remember. She attacked up with shadow people!" But he did have a point. "QUIET!" Sensei yelled over the boys conversation. "She is our guessed. Besides, did she tell you anything before she left? A prophesy perhaps?" At this Alexus stop up. "How did you know?" "Her mentors are old friends of mine. But time for morning exercises! Up up! Meet me in the deck!" His speech was met with groans from the ninja.
"Ha," Alexus said, knowing that she did not have to participate with them. "Alex, don't laugh," Nya scolded. "Now, get ready, we're going to start training in ten minutes, bring your sword," She continued. Alexus groaned and lied back down.
But not 10 seconds later did She hear hear a scream from where the girl was. They all dashed to the room and saw her sitting up and agenst the wall looking at Lloyd in horrer and him looking confused. She looked scared of them. No wonder. She got knocked out then wakes up to see a boy in the same room keeping guard. Not a thing that happens every day.
"Are you alright?" Alexus asked out of pure habit. "Sorry if I startled you!" Lloyd said hurriedly. She nods strongly. Kai smirks. "W-what?"
"Well, if you're calm, welcome to our home," Alexus said, throwing out her arms. "I would stay to tell you more, but I got to go train, and I'm still in my PJ's. I'll be in my room if you need me, laters!" Alexus said before leaving the room. Binx stares dumbfounded. "C-calm? After waking up and being in a strange place with my opposite?" Getting a strange look she say, "he's light I'm shadows remember?" Still looking scared Binx put a see threw shadow-dome around her-self or keep safe. She has no clue about them after all. "Um...what's that?!" Jay says looking kind if scared of the strange thing covering her. "You know, Alex was way more calm on her first time on the Bounty than you are right now!" Jay called. "If it wasn't for me, you'd probably be dead by now!" Lloyd pointed out, hoping for the mysterious girl to realize that. And She did.
As Binx thinks about it...She understands. So she let's the shadows go away. The she realized that the green figure was him and he saved saved. "T-thank you." Looks to the side ashamed. "Sorry. I'm not used to trusting people freely. Most, as you see, want to hurt me, for some purpose or another. W-why would you save me?" Binx inquired, truly confused.
"Because it was the right thing to do," Lloyd said. "Lloyd, training starts in five minutes!" A voice called from the deck. "I have to go, if you want, you can come watch," Lloyd invited. Before Binx could say anything, Alexus came into view, running down the hall and putting on a pair of combat boots at the same time. The result was, as she was putting on her left boot, she was hopping forward quickly on one foot, then she tripped right in front of the open door.
Binx quickly stands up and goes to help. Helping Alexus up she looks down and says, "Well, my cloths are goners. Have you seen frozen? Remember when elsa changes her cloths to that nice dress?" Says Binx.
"Yes, I have and do," Alexus said, sitting down and putting on her boot. "There! I'll be on the deck... as soon as I get my sword," Alexus added, doubling back as she realized that she didn't have it. "If you haven't already worked it out, she's kind of a clumsy, forgetful person. But, she's nice," said Lloyd as she disappeared down the hall.
Smiling at him she says, "Ya. Back at home that's how all the apprentices are. Any ways...these cloths are not good. I can fix that tho." Waving her hand from the left side to the right and up the around her head a shadow follows it and covers Binx in whole.
When it leaves she has black pants a purple t-shirt with a black long sleave shirt underneath and black combat boots. "There." Smirks at Lloyd's dumbfound expretion, then follows Alexus, deep in thought.
Alexus burst out of her room, and almost crashed into Binx, but she stopped in time. "Oops, sorry, that's my room," she jerked her thumb to the door that she had just closed behind her. "Right, excuse me," Alexus said, moving to the side, putting her sword into her sabered as she ran to the deck. "Nice outfit!" she called over her shoulder. "Thanks?" Runs after her to the training center. "Wow. Do you all train everyday?" Lloyd smiles "Not everyday, but most days," He replies. We have to keep our game up, incase there is any danger," Alexus said. "But, the view is worth it, look over the railing, it's like the clouds are the sea," Alexus said, slipping into her author voice, with was really just her with a British accent.
"Wow!" She steps to the railing and the wind picks her up and she flys over it and, still level with the boat looked down. "It's a great view!" Smiling.
"Yeah, it's nice," Alexus said. "Well, going to train, feel free to watch us, or you can train if you want too," Alexus said before heading over to where Nya was waiting patiently.
"May I?" Binx asks fly back over and landing. "Just leave me to train with Alexus, she's my apprentice," Nya said, placing her hands on Alexus' shoulders. "She's protective," Alexus said, smiling. "Right, now get out your sword, we're doing a spar first," Nya said, pulling out a sword of her own. Smiles understandingly from one if her mentors, jade. "You can spare with us!" Says Lloyd. "Um..is that safe?" Binx says scared.
"Don't worry, well take it easy on you if you want!" Jay said with a goofy, but reassuring smile. "Just out of curiosity, have you ever used any weapon before? Any at all?" Kai asked.
Smiling and shaking her head, Binx says, "Go as hard as you want or can. And yes. I have a sword and bow n' arrow and a whip. I can use just about any weapon at all tho. Oh and my ring," shows them her black ring, "turns into my sword." "Cool, I've always wanted to learn how to use a bow and arrow!" Alexus said, seemingly distracted. Nya tried to hit her from behind, but Alexus ducked, dropped to the floor, and tripped Nya. "You're getting good," Nya said, doing a back-hand spring to get feet. "Thank you," Alexus said, turning her sword in her hand.
"It's fun. So...how do you spare? Powers? I need to work on not using them so much I think! I use them as a crutch to much!" Giggles a bit with the ninja. "That's a good idea." Sensei said. "Get into pares. Kai and Cole, Zane and Jay, then Lo-Ruhamah and Lloyd. No powers remember!" But she steps forward thinking she should let them know..."it's time you know... My name is Binx."
"Wait, what?" Alexus said, turning around. Nya ended up punching her in the side of her head. "Oops, sorry, Alex!" She said, covering her mouth. "Nope, my fault, got distracted," Alexus said, her eyes swimming in and out of focus. "Okay, back to the previous topic, you lied about your name?" It wasn't much of a question, but a statement. "Why?" Zane asked. "No remember I told you, and quote, 'I'm bi...no no no...I can't tell you. You may call me Lo-Ruhamah for it means not pitied, as I will not be pitied for a loss of mine.'" Then Jay said, "oh ya she did! I remember cuz of the strange word." "Ya I guess I have trust issues and I don't really tell my name to people...I need to get over that..." "Right," Alexus said, trying to stand up. "Are you okay?" Cole asked. "Yeah, Nya just doesn't hold back," Alexus smiled. "If your enemy isn't going to hold back and use fake weapons, so why should we?" Nya asked. "Good point," Alexus said, then, without warning, she flipped Nya onto her back. "And expect the unexpected," Alexus said.
So all the ninja did there training then it was Binx an Lloyd's turn. "Don't go soft." She says, "Wouldn't dream it!" He replied. They grab the training weapons and start the fight. It was good but then he rushed at her and she fell back and her sword got stuck under the railing. He didn't seem to notice. Now these are real swords! So one mistake and...cuput! He, not seeing Binx's sword was stuck or thinking she would use shadow power to defend myself if he landed a blow, rushed at her sword raised. 'Now I could use shadow magic but I wouldn't. I said no powers I meant no powers.' She thought. He so close, right about on top of her now. He jumps to swing the sword down on her. Binx's sword would not budge. She tighten for the pain She expect to come...
"You can open your eyes now," a voice said. Binx had not realized it, but they were closed tight. "You can let go of the sword," the voice belonged to Lloyd. He hadn't the heart to harm her purposely. "Come on, I knew your sword was stuck," Lloyd extended his hand. Binx was slightly hesitant, but she took it, and Lloyd helped her to her feet.
Then, he flipped her into her back!
"Always expect the unexpected!" Lloyd quoted. "Ow. I did fall for that didn't I?" "Yeah, yeah you did." He responded extending his hand again. Binx asks, cautiously, "No flipping this time?" "No flipping." He agreed. Helping her to her feet there body's were a inch or less away from each other's. And she looks into his eyes, his beautiful bright green eyes. He's about 2 inches taller than her and you look straight down into her. 'Wow.' I think, 'he has pretty eyes, plus he's nice, strong, cute…NO! You can't think like that Binx!' She mentally yells at her self. He was still smiling down at her eyes locked. When she realize this, she quickly took a step back let go of his hand and started rubbing it on her other arm looking down, embarrassed.
Lloyd didn't know what she was thinking at all, in his heart, he was still a slightly clueless boy, but Alexus had a bit of remembrance. It was exactly how she looked at Cole when she started to take interest in him a month after she met him. She was thinking do hard that she would have been round house kicked in the head if her senses weren't warning her. 'Eh, don't meddle,' she thought, forgetting the whole thing.
"Sorry..." She muttered a but shyly. "Try again?" Binx asked curiously wondering if she could do any better this time. "Sure, but without weapons this time," Lloyd said.
