Echosight: Mending Fallen Stone: book 2

Connections

Cole's POV

" Argh..it's only 2 in the morning." I groaned. All this excitement kept me from sleeping. I didn't know what to make of this. The last couple of hours was torture to me. I was tempted to see what the girl was yelling about. " I wonder if you found something out." Something caught my eye on the shelf next to me.

" Oh, she forgot her cell." Tempted by curiosity I picked it up. The screen turned on and the thing that was opened was the Wattpad thing from before. " Man, she's obsessed with this thing." I decided to scroll around on it. Somehow I got into her library.

" Let's see, Fullmetal Alchemist, Black Butler, Fairy Tail, Ninjago...huh." I clicked on the file. She had about twenty some books in it. One of them caught my eye. " Memories left in Snow?"

" Yuki.." I started reading the book. It talked about the girl and her somehow bringing Zane into this world. This seemed very similar. " Could this be the girl that Zane keeps dreaming about?" I kept reading. The wolf was in this story. It had the same resemblance as the one I saw before I got sent here.

I got distracted by something on the corner of the screen. The cover of the other book had a picture of Lloyd and Kai. " Wait, what the heck is this?" I looked closer at it. " Greenflame? Oh, what the. What's this...what.who...argh. That's it. Nope, not going to even think about it. I'm done." I put the phone down and walked to the window. The sky was dark, but I could still hear the falling of rain.

" Man, what did I get myself into this time?" I whispered placing my hand on the window. My skin was flashing a green essence from my human skin. " Something just isn't right about this whole thing. I mean the wolves and the girls with a strange power. Could it all be connected." I didn't know what hit me, but I realized later on that I fell asleep at the window. I became lost in my own mind hoping that this was nothing but a dream.

Riku's POV

I woke up on the dining room table. " Wow, it's already morning." I yawned. The morning sunlight seeped into the room. " Looks, like it stopped raining for now." I sighed. I began to feel like I was forgetting something. Oh, well. I got up and began walking towards my room. I opened the door.

" Hang on." I whispered. I walked around the bed. To find a boy with shaggy black hair sleeping on the ground next to the window. " What the?!! Hey, what are you doing in my room!!' I yelled. The boy looked shock and jumped to his feet.

" Woah!! Hang on, it's me, Cole. Remember you told me I could sleep in your room for the night!" He yelled holding out his hands.

-_- " Oh, that's right." I said. " Sorry, I sorta forgot."

" It's fine...um. Here." he handed me, my cell.

" Question, how..why do you have my phone?" I asked. He turned away for a moment. I could tell he wasn't comfortable about something. " What?"

" It's nothing. I just saw something weird on the Wettpad, thingy." He said.

*sigh* " It's Wattpad, not Wettpad. Anyway, what was..oh yeah never mind. Yup." I exited out of the book.

" What is that?" He asked.

" It's nothing that the both of us need to read, like ever." I sighed. " When you go back. Don't tell Kai or Lloyd about this."

" I don't think I'll want to remember." He said. I gave him a thumbs up. I look at my screen. "Cole."

" Yeah?"

" You were reading the book?" I showed him the Memories left in Snow book. Cole looked at it and nodded.

" I..I found it and when I was reading it. I found some connections that might help us figure out how to get me home." He said. I looked at him. " I'm not sure where to go from here?" He whisphered.

" Me neither.' I said. I could tell that Cole was stressed out. I couldn't imagine how stressed out he was back in Ninjago. He couldn't catch a break. *sigh* " Hey, why don't we take a break from this."

" But-"

" No, but's." I grabbed his hand. Cole blushed a bit. " If you're going to stay in my house. First, off you need to get new clothes." I smiled.

" What's wrong with the ones I have now?"

" Ok, first off you don't wear ninja outfits in the 21st century. Second, I know I'm the only one that can see you, but I don't what to see you in a ninja outfit all day." I pulled him out the door. The sky began to darken.

" Um...you're certain rain can't harm my ghost form, right?" He whimpered. I giggled.

" Maybe." Cole groaned. " Hey, come on. You need to lighten up a bit." He didn't look convinced. The rain began to fall hard down on us. I smiled mischievously and pulled Cole off the sidewalk and into the damp grass.

' Ah!! Hey, what are you doing!!!" He yelled. I just laughed as we began rolling down the hill into the lower part of the forest. The rain soaked our clothes by the time we reached the bottom. Cole and I laid on our backs just laughing. " Ok, that was fun." He chuckled.

" See, I told you." I smiled.

*sigh* " It's so peaceful here." Cole whispered. " Unlike Ninjago, where you have to face ghost and nindroids." I turned towards him.

" Believe Cole. Anyone would rather live there than here. Our worlds are so much different. Here it's all about war, blood, violence, slater, politics, and power. I guess you can say we're just safer here than any other part of the world." I said.

" I'm sorry." There was a moment of silence. Only the pitter patter of the rain filled the area. " Ok, I need to know one thing. First, off how were you able to see me?"

I looked at him for a second. " Well, my this world. People like me are called medians. We were born with the power to see and talk to spirits. Like you, but unlike you. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that can see you."

" Oh, so you bring peace to wandering souls." I shrugged. " I wish you were with us when we fought Morro. Lot's of stuff happened back there. I just hope everyones alright." Cole sighed.

I looked at him. His eyes shone with power and his structure strong and focus. I never seen anyone with that kind of power. He was truly a leader and alpha at heart. " Hey, Cole. I'm not sure you relized it, but I don't think you're in your ghost form anymore."

" What?!' He looked at his hands and clothes. The green ghostly essence seemed to disappear. Cole pale green skin went back to normal color. " Hah!! That's what I'm talking about!' He laughed.

" How's that possible?" I asked.

" I don't know, but I'm back!!" He cheered and gave me a hug. I blushed. " You must had done something with you spirit calming powers."

" Um..Cole."

Cole's POV

I looked at her. My heart almost skipped a beat. " Oh, sorry." I let go of her. " Hey, um. So what's your story. I mean.." She sighed.

" Well, it was about when I was three when I started seeing people that I've never seen before. I started talking to them and sometimes they would disappear in a flash of light. Sometimes though if I got angry at the kids at my school things got bad. Little did I know that the spirits share their power with me. Then I'll sometime find myself in a darken world of the spirits."

" You..you can go to the Spirit world?" I whispered. She nodded.

" My powers came at a cost though. My classmates were afraid of me. They feared me, and many here hate what they don't understand. I guess I was fortunate enough to have Lily and the spirits. I kinda started a side job as an median." She shrugged her shoulder and smiled.

" So I'm guessing I was one of the ghost that you were called to take care of." I smiled. Riku laughed.

" I guess you were, but now I think we can call it truce. We're friends now, and now I'm going to help you find your home. You can count on it." She smiled. My chest felt tight. I could feel my skin burning. I was blushing.

" Thank you."
