Kylie, Master of Healing

⚁ The Nightmare ⚁

Italics are, well, read the chapter title.

Kylie woke up with a start, and sat up.

"No," she gasped, and sobbed into her pillow.

No light came through the curtains; it wasn't morning yet.

She laid there for a couple hours...

Finally a new morning dawned, and Kylie got cleaned up and dressed. Nya was still sleeping, so she went downstairs, where she found Zane cooking breakfast.

Her old apartment.

Nya was there with her, so were the others. They were having dinner and her mom was serving them.

"Good morning, Kylie," Zane said as he noticed her come in.

"Morning," she chirped.

"How did you sleep?"

"Not great," she admitted, sitting down at the kitchen table.

"That is understandable. Any particular reason you would like to share?"

"Um, not really. But thanks." She analyzed his build; remarkable, perfectly human-like, except metal.

"Of course." He nonchalantly flipped a pancake. "I have not gotten to know you yet. How do you like it here?"

"I love it here, a lot," she replied. "I'm really glad I met you guys."

"Good. I am glad." He turned and gave her a quick smile. "When did you come here and how did you meet us?"

They were laughing and Kylie was about to have a bite of some cake but they started shouting that there was an earthquake, and she saw out the window that the earthquake was coming.

"I... my mom... she was killed in the battle when- with the Overlord. When you..."

"I know what you mean."

"Yeah. I met Wu at, uh, a funeral. And I came and lived here, and it was really hard for me, for everyone, and everyone split up and left for... a long time."

"Why? Who left?"

The ground shook and the floor broke open. There was black dark water underneath, and she was sliding into it.

"Jay and Cole and Kai left, to do their own thing I guess. They kind of wanted to get away. Me, Nya, and Lloyd stayed and trained." He just nodded, so she continued. "Finally Lloyd went to bring them all home, and that was wonderful, but Chen invited them to the tournament literally that evening and they were gone in the morning. Nya had to track them down. I just tagged along."

Her mom yelled for her to catch and threw her a rope but fell in the water. Kylie screamed. She screamed as she watched as one by one, her friends and family disappeared into the water.

"Well you didn't 'just tag along,' you were very much of service."

"But not as much as Nya. She did all the tracking down and fighting."

Then just as the room was tilting and she was about to fall in too, Garmadon appeared, and he helped her get out of the room.
