The Call of Home

Chapter 12

Nya's pov:

She was still trying to process all of this. Now, Garmadon had given them some time to think of it. He had said that the tea that he gave them was going to help them remember. Nya wasn't sure if it could really work tho. This was just too insane. She needed to clear her mind. Right now, they had all began to talk with the other but Jay, the blue eyed one, had went outside for some fresh air. It seemed that it was difficult for him all this, like something else was bothering him. Nya felt the same way, and she suspected that maybe the others too. Every time that she remember the dream she had s feeling she needed to reach someone. But who? She had no idea. After the tea, that feeling just grow stronger. She needed to get her mind off it. Maybe some fresh air would help too.

She started heading outside when someone grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"Where are you going?" Kai asked

"I only need some fresh air, don't worry" Nya said. Kai seemed to understand and let her go.

Once she was outside she took a deep breath. The wind was blowing but it wasn't too cold, it was more refreshing. Nya needed that. After all that she had discovered... she didn't know what to feel or believe. She felt like she needed to do something, but what? Until they had their memories back, it was pretty useless to try anything. She sighted and started to look around, that's when she spotted Jay. He was sitting aside some big rocks that almost cover him, with his blue sweater and the moon shining he could almost disappear if it wasn't for his hair. He seemed to be thinking of something, and someone who he could talk to would help him definitely. Nya wasn't in the mood to talk with the others of the weird feeling either, so she decided to check on Jay.

"Hey there" she said with a smile once she was right behind him.

She had startled him since he gasped and looked behind him. He only smiled sweetly at seen it was her.

"Hey" he said "Want to sit?" he asked. Nya nodded and he moved, leaving a space for her next to him.

"Seems we did met later" Nya said

"yeah" he said while he chuckled a bit

Nya remembered when they had bumped into each other in school. He had seemed cute and genuine. Now they were sitting together in the night. Nya didn't wanted to admit it but she was glad to be there.

"So... what brings you here" Jay asked, trying to create a little chat

"Well, I guess it's the same reason as you" she said with a small smile. "needed some fresh air to clear my mind, you seemed really anxious back there. Are you okay?" She asked

Nya intended to ask him about that a while back, when he was trying to calm after hearing the headmaster's name. She was also shocked when hearing this and about Harumi, but Jay seemed to had it worst. She turned to face him, he seemed kind of sad and confused. She couldn't blame him. They all were confused at this.

"Well... I'm not sure to be honest, it's just...." He started but trailed off. He was deciding if he should tell her or not. Nya hoped he would, she was worried for him.

"it's just...I have a terrible feeling of him. I mean, before this he already had me on my nerves. But now this? I can't help but think that something awful is going to happen." Nya could get what he meant, though herself didn't had that feeling.

"have you...when that dream appear. Did you get a feeling you needed to reach someone?" he asked then. His sight was lost in the forest and his face over his arms that hold his knees together.

"I have, though I'm not sure the others have... When I talked to Lloyd about this... he hadn't told me of it. Perhaps it's the tea." She suggested

"perhaps... but I had had it since the first time" he explained.

"How was that?" Nya asked. Jay took a moment to collect himself before he could explain.

"Well, I had the same dream but, when I was waking up... It was more like a nightmare. Like I was trying to reach for someone but I just couldn't. I'll put it like this. The first time, I woke up screaming. Luckily I didn't waked up my parents" he finished with a low chuckle that die at the end.

Nya hadn't had that experience, she had felt that he needed to reach someone. Yes. But not like that. It was awful.

"Sorry" he said then, gaining the attention of Nya back.

"What? No, it's okay" she said with an encouraging smile. He turned to face her and returned the smile. The wind blow stronger this time. And it was actually becoming cold instead of refreshing.

"Here" Jay said. He was holding his sweater for her. Nya didn't know if she should be feel a bit annoyed by the typical gesture or feel praised.

"um, no happening." She said

"please, take it as a thanks for listening" he said.

Nya had never though of it that way. But now that she did, it was actually nice. She then took the sweater and putted it over her shoulders.

"Thanks" she said then

"No problem" he said. Then, both of them just stayed there looking at the moon. It's pale glow lighted up everything, it looked kind of mystical in Nya's opinion, but it was perfect. They made a little chat from time to time and she found out that he was a great listener, and also funny.
