Chapter 16
Caught in the Dream
"I remember just before you were born, I started to have dreams. Dreams of a Golden Spinjitzu Master and once a week or two, he would appear in my dreams and speak to me. Just after you were born, he told me I was going to be a hero, a ninja that would protect Ninjago. The Ninja of Air."
Violet blinked at this new information. The Golden Spinjitzu master? She could either be talking about the first one or and next in line but that's impossible, she must be talking about the first one.
"But when you were born and held in my arms for the first time, I've promised to protect you and take good care but when I was diagnosed with cancer, the Spinjitzu Master told me that he could save me but by doing that, he had to merge us into two. Since you were a baby it was possible because you haven't fully developed yet. But by doing this, I'll only be a voice in your head, nothing else but I was fine because it meant I still can protect my baby sister."
"So are you saying that I'm not the Ninja of Air but you are but Sensei Wu still saw it through me?" Violet tilted her head to the side in confusion. "And I'm no longer a baby for your information."
"Hahaha, but no, my powers are basically passed to you but it would overwhelming for you so that's another reason why I was placed in you, it's just to balance it out. You are much stronger than you think you are Violet." Scarlet smiled sadly and her hands grabbed Violet's. "But you haven't unlocked it yet. I've never told mum or dad because I was afraid that they'll think I'm crazy… So after I died, the Golden Spinjitzu Master placed me in your head to guide you through. Only that night when mum and dad died, I've realized how to contact you because I could hear all your thoughts."
"Is it just me or you aren't disturbed by this at all by reading my thoughts?"
"I got used to it after a while. It was weird at first. Your invisibility spell is from me as well. Because you haven't unlocked your True Potential, you can't use it continuously." She informed. Violet nodded and she looked down at her palms.
"But that doesn't answer why mum and dad never told me that I had a sister." Violet pointed with a frown.
"My death was a painful burden to them, remember that time you asked for a sister and mum broke into tears when you were five?"
"Yeah…"
"It's just too painful for them… and it was for me too. My old bedroom was also too painful so that's why they kept it locked."
"So why am I here then?"
"Because… how do I explain this to you? Let's just say that I've been in constant chats with the First Spinjitzu Master." Scarlet informed with a proud smile but Violet placed her head into her hands.
"This is way too much to process… And this is so disturbing, you being in my brain, I thought that kind of thing doesn't exist." Violet muttered but her sister nodded.
"It does in our world. I wasn't allowed to tell you who I was but I was told that when the time is right, I could."
"Who told you that?"
"The spirit of the First Golden Spinjitzu Master." She answered plainly with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Right, of course." Violet sighed but her sister placed both of her hands on her cheeks.
"Once you unlock your True Potential, I'll be released from your body and become a spirit."
"Wait, a spirit? What does that mean?"
"I'll probably become a star, looking down or if I'm lucky, a dragon." Scarlet smiled and Violet shook her head.
"That's not possible."
"Well it is. My power will be completely given to you and I'll leave your body." Scarlet said with a smile but it quickly turned into a frown and Violet could feel herself go sleepy. "I don't have much time left to talk but remember, I'll always be beside you little sister and don't tell anyone else, not even Sensei Wu…"
But Violet's mind already shut off her sister and the ninja of wind could feel herself falling in midair but then crashing on something soft. Violet opened her eyes and sat up and looked around, she was back in her room in the bounty. She rubbed her head.
That wasn't a dream little sister
Violet jumped but her legs were caught in the blankets and she ended up falling hard onto the wooden boards.
"Ok, this is getting weird." Violet said out loud and she quickly untangled herself from the blankets.
Not really, you just need to get used to it. I thought you did after twelve years.
"Yeah but knowing that it's my sister that's swimming through my thoughts, it really change the perspective." Violet sighed and she threw her blanket onto the bed and went to get change.
So aren't you weird out that I know you're getting change?
"You told me to get used to it so I'm trying not to get jittery." Violet replied although her hands were shaking. "Are you always in my head or do you vanish to speak with the Golden Spinjitzu Master?"
I spend half here and half with him.
"Another question, you sort act childish in a way before. Like when you said Kai was cute and all those other stuff even though you're supposed to be twenty-two."
I died when I was four remember? I didn't have much of a childhood.
"Right…" Violet muttered and once she finished getting changed, she placed her strawberry wig onto her head.
And just saying, you don't need to talk out loud to me, I can still read your thoughts.
Violet cringed and she grabbed her handbag and exited off the bounty.
I'll be back; I think I should let you filter your thoughts without me interfering.
Scarlet's voice rang in her head and then nothing.
'Are you still there?' Violet mentally asked but no reply. She must agree that she does need some time to herself without her sister barging in. But Violet decided to visit Wu and she'll just say she's visiting Zane. Although she wished he could tell Wu but she's not allowed to even though Sensei Wu is the First Spinjitzu Master's son.
She used her wind element and flew in the air but she kept a firm grip on her wig. Once she landed outside of the Monastery's fence, she quickly fixed her clothes and wig up before knocking on the large and circular red doors.
"Don't worry, I got it!" She heard Cole shouted from the other side. He opened up the door and she saw disappointment on his face. "Zane, it's your cousin! Oh, come in."
"Thank you." Violet smiled and she walked in. To play the family part, she ran up to Zane and hugged him tight; at first he was confused but hugged her back. "The name's Linda." She then whispered.
"What's brings you here Linda?" He asked and she saw the other two came.
"I came to see my favorite cousin of course." She grinned and she waved to the others. "Let me introduce myself, my name is Linda."
"Nice to meet you." Jay said and he shook her hand. She smiled.
"Ah, so we meet again." She turned around and saw Wu exiting the monastery.
"I'm sorry, you must be the owner. I should have asked for your permission to be entered." Violet said and she bowed her head.
"Haha, it's alright. Actually, I would like to know about you more, will you join me for a cup of tea?"
"Sure, I'll see you in a bit Zane." She smiled and she followed Wu into his study.
"Is there something wrong?" He asked but she shook her head.
"No, I just wanted to visit… I haven't been here for a while now or seen you for two weeks now." Violet replied with a smile and Wu laughed before handing her a cup of tea. "How are things around here?"
"Difficult, these boys are far too lazy to train." Wu grumbled and he filled up his cup. "They prefer to leave everything to the last minute, except Zane although some of them have changed."
"What do you mean by changed?" Violet asked, starting to feel uneasy.
"Cole absolutely loves dragons now." Wu stated and she could feel her eyes go as wide as saucers.
"Awww, I hope that when we have met I could tease him about it…" Violet sighed and Sensei Wu laughed heartily.
"Kai is more hot-headed. Jay has suddenly gotten into video games and he has managed to get Zane liking it…" Her sensei shook his head and placed his tea cup on his lap. Violet chuckled softly before hearing…
"Fire strike!" They both heard Kai shouted. Violet cocked her head to the side to listen.
"Oh, is that the best move you can do?" Jay's excited voice could be heard as well as many clicks. They couldn't be fighting, it would be a rumble but Violet grew unsure.
"Stop doing it by yourself! We need to work as a team!" Came Cole's husky voice. It reminded Violet of her father's and she frowned a bit.
"Zane, don't attack me!" Then came Jay's shrilly voice. And then they both had pants and screaming from the four boys.
"I have a feeling they're not training." Violet sighed and she quickly stepped out of Wu's room and opened the doors and the training ground was empty with no ninja in sight.
"They're not here?" She heard Wu's voice behind.
"I think they're playing a game." She sighed. Wu's face frowned deeply and he stormed off to the west wing of monastery. Violet followed, she had to see this. Well Wu opened the screen doors to a room; Violet saw the room was completely dark with only the TV as a light source. The golden weapons were lazily thrown to a corner and there was a pizza box with two slices left and some more slices on the floor and one on Kai's sword! All four boys were crowding around the TV with remotes in their hands. Violet face palmed.
"I think I'm getting the hang of this." Zane smiled and Violet shook her head as it seemed that the four boys were too engaged in their playing to realize that she and Sensei Wu were standing there. She expected Zane to at least be considerate of his training and Cole too since he's the team leader from what she had learnt.
Surprisingly, they had a game where all four of them in their ninja gear were running and slaughtering skeletons. It seems Jay and Kai are very close expert gamers since their health bar was to the max and Cole was close behind while Zane lost half of his. Then with quick speed, Wu ran to the TV and unplugged it and the screen went black and the room went dark. She turned on the lights and the boys hissed. When they opened their eyes and saw Wu holding the plug to their TV, they all groaned and whined.
"Why Sensei!" Jay seemed most affected out of all of them.
"Listen, just because Lord Garmadon has escaped through a vortex, it does not mean he won't return one day for the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu."
"But Sensei Wu, Lord Garmadon can't do anything with just four weapons, he would need the other golden weapon right? Plus since he has been gone, Ninjago have had nothing but peace." Zane tried reasoning him. Violet should have told him that nothing can change Wu's mind.
"And peace is boring!" Jay suddenly shouted and Violet jumped slightly. "There's no one to save and nothing to do."
"We'll do training tomorrow." Cole waved at their Sensei and laid back. Violet quicken stiffen her laugh as a cough as Sensei blew.
"Never put off until tomorrow for what can be done today." Wu said sternly and he gave the four boys a death glare. Cole picked up a pizza slice and showed it to Sensei.
"I was going to eat this pizza tomorrow so I'll just eat it now." Cole said and he was about to eat the pizza but Wu kicked his hand which made Cole let go of the pizza. "Ow!"
"No pizza for you." Sensei yelled and Violet quickly left and went to the courtyard and laughed. She clutched her stomach and laughed and wiped her eyes from the tears. She then quietened down when the thought of them hearing her entered her mind. She sat on the stairs and stared at the horizon and she smiled. Life was nearly great now. It wasn't perfect or anywhere near there but her life had taken an extraordinary step since the streets and since her parents died.
