Whispers At Midnight- Book 1

Pilot

Feeling dead weight above me, I open my eyes and shake my body. I have no clue who he is, but I was not comfortable at all. "Will you get off of me!" I used the last of my breath. A jolt from his body sent him flying off me.

Standing right in front of me was a younger version of Kai and three others dressed in black ninja outfits. "There's more of you guys here? How many landed here in the monastery?" One of them said but I couldn't make out who it was behind the masks.

Rustling was heard behind me, and it made me pull out my sword and face the other way. "Brookstone." It was none other than Noah. Eyeing him up and down, he didn't dare move. Smirking, I knew he wasn't a threat and seethed my sword. "Don't make me regret trusting you."

"I won't. I see you met Liam. Smith boy is what some normally call him. I found Jack and Ky Julien, who you haven't met yet. The only one missing is Vincent Garmadon." So all the second gene ended up here.  joys of this happening not.

The four standing in front of us dropped their weapons to the floor. Kai's jaw dropped at what he was hearing. Sensi Wu knocked him on the back of the head to wake him up to reality. Shaking his head, he stepped back in line with the other three.

Each of them took their hoods off to reveal Cole, Jay, and Zane. Where is Nya at this time, then? I thought she was Kai's sister. The silence was alarming. I was hoping I wasn't the only one out of my side who made it here. Birds chirp to fill the void. It felt never ending. Closing my eyes, I take a deep breath. Collecting my thoughts, I open my eyes again. Kai took a step forwards making me unhook my sword from my leather belt. He gulped and took a step backwards. Cole and jay exchanged looks before turning to Zane, who was just stood there still, like as if no life or movement.

"I see you three have met the fourth one. But also some people I wasn't aware were joining us?" Raising his eyebrows, he crosses his arms. The look of interrigation striking through his eyes.  Almost as if he would pierce right through your skull. "Who are you? I can tell none of you are dangerous to us, so I will keep the peace for now."

"Well, you can say we are safe but her, still not sure." Liam stuttered while fidgiting with his hands, making me frown and pout slightly at his remark. "I didn't mean it in a bad way, I swear. It's just that we have only met you." Liam was now frantically waving his arms, trying to defend himself. Vincent, who had caught up to the rest of us, had stopped Liam's arms from waving everywhere as he had almost hit him in the face. Wu kept staring at them. He didn't even question who I was. Like as if he already knew.

"I will talk to you all later as for now, head indoors. I need to deal with these four." The ninja bowed their heads in respect. I had no clue what was going on at this point.

Walking through the stone doors to the monastery, I saw Vincent gaze at the celling. There was a hint of sadness in his forest Green eyes. Shaking his head back into reality, his dark midnight hair covered his face. Feeling his emotions, he almost feels lost. Ky walks over to him and pats him on the back. The smiles on his face as he tries to lighten Vincent mood up. Everyone started their own conversation amongst themselves.

Hearing a tap behind, I turn to meet Noah. His eyes softened the second I looked into them. His soft ocean eyes seemed kind and caring. His hair was slightly tied up in the back into a bun. His hair as dark as night still shone through the light. I slightly tilt my head, and he does the same, he  starts smiling as i do so. I felt a warmth in my cheeks, something I had never felt before. But I couldn't let my emotions get in the way. Taking  a step back, Noah eyes widened as his head straightened. He opened his mouth to say something but I didn't give him a chance before I felt my own feet moving on their own, making me walk in a different direction towards the corridor, I needed to clear my head. I don't know what this boy is doing to me.
