Most people know me as Tilt, agent for Silver transports, an adventure team based in ninjago, the bad side of ninjago. We investigate and, steal from places like the adventure club, news buildings and people of... interest. If I wanted to stop I would but I can't, Mr silvers is very strict though I've never met him.

My real name is Charlotte, my father chose it so I go by Charlie, though Since i runaway 2 years ago I don't hear that name very often, in fact never, not since the day I left.

When my mother died I was heartbroken and so was my brother, my father as well. My father never wanted a girl so when my mother died I had no belonging to that family, or it felt that way. My brother still loved me, I think, but my dad was so busy fussing him and forcing him into some sing dance career we became less and less close.

My Father never fussed me into all this musical stuff but my mum put me in ballet, she thought it would keep me more balanced. It did. Too balanced. I was very young when I found out I had elemental powers, I could conduct the wind, make it move to my command, though I had to keep it a secret only my family knew.

I never used my elemental powers, just practiced in closed streets or underground in sewers. I'd taken the wrong path, I could admit that but I would never use my powers for evil, I promised my mother I wouldn't, it's like she always knew exactly what would happen. It wouldn't surprise me, ever heard the saying 'wherever the wind takes us', she couldn't see things, memories like I could in the wind but my grandma could and I'm certain they shared their wisdom.

Today is May 13th my birthday and lucky me, I've been sent on a mission. It will keep me distracted and that all I need.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" Melody screamed. She was my only friend here, she was sweet but tough, nothing got past her. She had pink hair that was always in plaits, she had tan skin and beautiful dark brown eyes. She looked like an angel, with a huge chunk of pink icing on her head.

"Ugh what time is it," I groaned turning my head over towards my alarm clock, 07:00, "OMG I AM SO DEAD. WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?"

"Sorry I thought you deserved a lie in." She sympathised scrunching her eyebrows and handing out a small purple wrapped box.

"You didn't have to." I took the box and opened it, seeing a long silver chain with a jelly fish on the end, jellyfish. That's how we first met, we spent hours talking about jellyfish and how they're so beautiful but can be so dangerous, a fairytale picture holding back its darkest secrets. I pulled it round my neck admiring it. "Thank you mels I really do love you." I smiled, a grin only friendship could bring.

"it looks beautiful on you and of course I love you to." She brought me into a hug , ushering me towards the bathroom to get ready before I get a shouting from Spidey, that's what we call him, arachnis is much to fancy.

I did my hair, it's curly and very dark brown almost black, it falls in contrast against my pale skin making me look ever whiter. My skin was red around my head still dyed from the red highlights I'd done freshly a few night before. It took almost 5 minutes trying to get it to unfrizz. I had it in 2 half up bunches. I put on makeup, maroon mascara on my bottom lashes, black on the top.

For clothes, like everyday I wore a dark red tie, a white shirt and a black blazer and skirt, shorts underneath, obviously. I had on my dark red converse, my favourites. They had crappy white embroidery on each side and even a word on my right 'cole' . I smiled at the reminder and walked downstairs, seeing melody had already been dragged to breakfast.

A I strolled round to find a seat I noticed melody alone and sat by her. I had a bowl of cereal infront of me, basic but filling. Or it would've been if a dusty hand hadn't swept down and grabbed it.

"You're late." Arachnis' harsh voice said it was gross, he was gross, and stupid.

"Thanks for noticing." I snapped back, tired of his attitude. He pushed at the back of my head and pointed at my shoes.

"Change those awful shoes, and pack a bag, this mission may take longer then excepted." He growled. Since I had no food to eat anyway I bid goodbye to My friend and went upstairs to grab my shoes and pack a bag. I shoved my converse , a uniform similar to the one I'm wearing, some jeans, a couple of T-shirt's, band tees I guess, a hoodie, some pyjamas and anything else I needed for a normal trip. I put a gun in my pocket, struggling to find which pocket didn't have my cassette player in it and begun my descend back down the stairs.

Once I got down there it was almost empty, I walked through the winding halls, each walk the same as the next like each day the same as the next. I just want it over with.

Once I got to my station I stood at the front of my line, a guy next to me, I couldn't see his face but he was the same height so I assumed we couldn't be much different in age. Poor him I guess. An army of group minded groups where still behind us, so still it was creepy. I had my backpack weighing down my shoulder and some guy muttering to himself about how he got out with a girl  is when my car showed up I didn't waste a minute jamming the keys in and slamming on the pedal.

"Don't mess this up Tilt, you know what happens to losers." I gulped and muttered snarky comments under my breath, but remaining 2 eyes on the road. I had to get to the explorers club, some birthday party thing. Probably just another plan to ruin my day and make my chances of getting out even lower.

Tires screeching and cocky laughs made my head throb, my 'partners' car pulling up beside me.

"Your on the wrong side of the road dimwit!" I shouted at him, rolling my eyes and laughing as he swerved cars left and right. Scraping the sides of them in the process. "Way to draw attention to ourselves." I swore mentally facepalming knowing any second someone would come to try and stop us and knowing this idiot he'd probably get caught. For the little time we had left I pressed harder on the peddle of my vehicle and drifted through streets seeing my destination from the corner of my eye.

I was right. I pulled a blur over my face from my headband blurring my features.

Ninja.

Behind us.

And in front.

We haven't even done anything yet?

I stared. I didn't care if it was rude or not because in that ship a guy around 18 with a black suit on, black fluffy hair and bushy eyebrows stood carelessly over the edge. Cole.

That was awful I'm so sorry. I've written this pretty quick, I'm so bored atm. I'll try write more but nobodies even reading (I haven't even published It yet) lmao. Also I'm gonna try to stay close to the episodes but I'm a bit lazy. Some of this is a bit cringe and this chapters really short, I'll try write a longer one (I defineltely won't) omg don't even look at the cover it's so bad. I can't edit .for the life of me 😂
