Never Be Alone(A Ninjago Fanfic)

Chapter 7

Sup?! Another part! Comment! Enjoy!

I wake with a start.  I sit up straight and find myself sobbing.  I am frozen in fear and pain.  My eyes are wide, but streams of tears are rolling down them.  I'm shaking violently, so violently that it wakes Cole up.  He sits up and looks at me.  He instantly has a look of fear and worry on his face.  My hair is covering most of my face so he can't see that I'm crying.

​"Cat, are you ok?"  I shake my head slowly.  He comes to sit in front of me, and sees that my knees are at my chest and that I'm shaking terribly.  "Cat, what happened?  Please tell me."
​I shakily say, "I-I-I ca-ca-can-n-n-n-n-n't-n't-n't-t-t.  T-T-To-o-o-o-o mu-mu-mu-u-uch s-s-s-s-s-sa-a-ad-d-d-dn-n-n-n-n-nes-s-s-s-s-s."  Cole looked horrified at my reaction.  He slowly puts my hair behind my back and my ears and gasps.  He sees the stream of tears and looks horrified and worried for me.

​"Cat you need to tell me."  Cole urges.  I nod and begin to recap my nightmare.

​When I finish Cole has tears in his eyes and pulls me into an embrace.  I accept and hug him tightly.  My sobs grow a bit louder, but Cole quiets me with a reassuring kiss.  I bury my face in his chest and sob some more.  Then I fall asleep again, Cole lays me back down and holds me tight until morning.

​I awoke with a start when Misako shook my shoulder.  I looked up a bit to see Wu doing the same to Cole.  He still had me in a tight embrace.  I smiled a bit as he awoke.

​I couldn't help but stare at the big wet spot my tears had left.  I hated myself for that.  I looked at my aunt and uncle, fresh tears threatened to spill over.  My hair concealed my face, and some of it was stuck to my cheeks and forehead.  My uncle looked at me with a worried expression on his face.

​"Cat, what's wrong?" My uncle, Wu, questioned.

​I couldn't bring myself to speak.  I shook my head as I stared into their eyes.  Cole looked at the floor and closed his eyes.   Finally Cole worked up the courage to tell them what happened.

​As he spoke I started to sob all over again.  I looked to Misako when Cole started the fight scene.  My eyes darted back and forth between the wise pair.  Shock and fear was plastered to their faces.

​What I wasn't aware of was how loud my sobbing was.  Apparently Wu and Misako had awoken us first.  Slowly everyone in the room started to sit up and join in hearing what had happened.

​Cole had just finished Lloyd's death when Lloyd awoke.  The green ninja slowly approached the chair.  When he saw the looks of pure horror on his family's faces he immediately turned to the one sobbing member, me.

​When Cole finished the dream Misako and Nya had streams of tears flowing down their cheeks.  My face and bangs were soaked and stuck together.  I looked at each ninja and saw a different set of emotions.

​Lloyd, he had tears in his eyes.  He had a stern face, determination was also in his eyes.  He has his arm around his mother trying to comfort her.  He was also staring at his uncle as if they were secretly communicating about how to do something impossible.

​Kai was a completely different story.  He looked like he was about to explode.  His breathing was heavy, as if he had just fought a huge battle and won.  His face was full of anger, he looked ready to kill whoever dared to touch him.

​Zane just looked confused.  He looked as if he didn't understand what was going on.  Like a child who's parents are getting a divorce, but the child doesn't know what that is or how it will affect his entire life.  Oh, poor Zane.  He's smart and helpful, but his help and smarts won't help us here.

​Jay was broken.  He looked as if a train had ran over his heart.  He was shaking and looked like he was about to run to Nya and keep her safe and never let anyone touch her ever again so that they would never be apart.

​Nya was pale.  Her eyes were puffy and her face tearstained.  Her hands were running nervously through her hair.  She slowly made her way to Jay and embraced him tightly.

​Finally, Cole.  He had his arms around me trying to make me feel better.  He ran his hands through my long hair and whispered to me that things would be alright.  He allowed me to bury my face into his chest so that I wouldn't ruin my shirt, and besides his shirt was already soaked.  His face was a bit pale, but full of sadness and a longing, for what, I couldn't figure out, but that didn't matter at the moment.

​I slowly regained my self-control.  When I regained it I spoke.  "I'm sorry."  That was all I said.  I slowly got up and went out onto the deck.

​Cole and the others fallowed me hesitantly, as if they didn't want to set me off.

​"Cat..." Cole called after me.  "Cat please..." He begged.

​I kept walking until I was at the very front of the ship.  It was an overlook of the sea.  The air smelled of salt water and freedom.  I climbed up onto the railing and sat down.  I heard gasps and knew they had fallowed me.  I turned around to see Cole and the others closing in on me.

​"Cat, be careful."  Cole cautioned.

​I quickly stood and jumped over their heads.  I turned and ran back into the ship and into the room I share with Cole.

​Instead of my ninja gi I grabbed my short black skirt and my black crop top.  I quickly pulled my leather jacket on.  I pulled my hair back and grabbed my pack.  I stuffed my gi into the pack along with a few weapons.  I then stuffed 2 towels into my pack.  I gently placed a few protein bars and bottles of water into my pack.  I secured it on my shoulders and took off.

​I ran back onto the deck to find everyone where they were when I left.  They stared at me in silence.  Cole noticed the pack.

​"Where are you going Cat?"  He asked curious.  "You're not leaving are you?"

​"I need some time alone, I'll be back, you can count on it."  I said frankly.  I ran back to where I had been seated before I changed.  I didn't stop and sit like before, I just ran and jumped off the edge.

​I felt myself free falling and heard the shouts that my frightened friends had mustered as I jumped off the ship.  I summoned all my strength and a dragon burst into existence right underneath me.  It caught me and lifted me high into the clouds.  We flew past the Destiny's Bounty and I waved good-bye to my friends and family.  Then my beautiful purple dragon and I sped off into the sunrise.

​Where we were headed I had no clue.  I knew though that I wouldn't be gone long, because I had a sinking feeling that something bad was about to happen.
