Ninjago- The Whispering Blade: Book 1

Ch. 2

This chapter is a bit rushed so forgive me if there is any spelling or grammer errors.

Cole's POV
Kai was in pretty bad shape when we found him. He was brusied and bloody, he looked liked he had gotten beat up by a hurricane. Skylor looked unemotional as Zane picked up her unconscious boyfriend. If you looked closer you could see the fear in her eyes. Me on the other hand, I was a worried and scared mess.
I didn't show it, but I showed it more than Skylor. I sighed as we got back to the bounty, with Misako, Wu, Pixal and Echo asking us a whole bunch of questions.
"He wanted to prove he was the big shot again and went after the group's leader," Nya said shaking her head. "I swear my brother will never learn,"
"You got that right," Skylor added.
With that we all headed back to our rooms, with Zane Echo and Pixal going and helping Kai, who was still unconscious. I was walking down the hall and to my room when I heard snippets of a conversation in Master Wu's room.
"We have to tell them,"
"No, it's not time yet."
"You're just saying that because you're scared, you saw that mark on his chest we have to tell them now!"
That got me intrigued, so I stepped closer to the door and listened more.
"You're right, Misako I am scared. It's only a matter of time before..."
Suddenly I got pulled into the room and pushed against the wall. Wu had his staff on my neck, making it hard to breathe and he glared at me. He then relaxed and released his hold. I fell to my knees and tried to relax my breath.
"What have I told you about eavesdropping?" Wu said standing beside me.
"I'm sorry Master Wu," I said standing up and bowing. "I just heard your conversation passing by, and curiosity got the better of me."
Wu nodded, stroking his beard.
"I heard you say, it's only a matter of time," I said carefully. "Forgive me for asking, but what does that mean?"
Misako was going to speak, but Wu put up his hand to silence her.
"Don't worry Misako, we will tell them soon,"
"Tell us what, is something wrong with Kai?" As soon as I said that, Misako and Wu shared a look, making me panic. "Please tell me he's gonna be okay,"
"He will be," Misako said bluntly. "But we can't tell you right away, get some rest Cole. We'll tell you and the others everything tomorrow,"
I was about to protest when Wu whacked me with his staff. I yelped and rubbed the place where he hit it.
"Do not argue," He said sternly, making me feel like a little kid.
"Alright, I'm going," I pouted and went out the door. "But I'm getting answers sooner rather than later."
I sighed and headed to my room. Kai will be alright, I told myself as I fell asleep.
Next Day
I woke up in a cold sweat, panting heavily. One of those dreams happened again. Getting up, or at least trying to my legs felt like jelly and there was a certain bulge in my pants. I put my head down and sighed in defeat. I quickly pulled down my pants, for they were seemingly super tight and got it over with.
Once I was done I headed into a shower, a cold one in fact. After that I got dressed and then checked the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon! What the fuck how did I sleep in? I quickly ran out of my room and found Jay and Zane in the training room.
Except for Kai of course. Thinking of him made me blush and then Jay noticed me.
"Dude did you stay up late last night?" He asked with sweat trickling down his brow, dodging one of Zane's attacks.
"Yes, usually you're the first one awake," Zane added. "Is there something on your mind Cole?"
More like someone, I thought sadly. I shook that thought away and grinned, getting ready to train.
"Nah it's all good," I lied easily. "I was just a bit sore from yesterday,"
"Alright, also you missed out on breakfast today," Jay said backflipping, only to fall on his back. "Alright alright I give!"
I laughed a bit as Zane helped Jay up, who was rubbing his back.
"Master Wu said he had something important to tell us," Zane said walking up to me. "He wanted everyone present, and I get the feeling it is about the people we fought yesterday."
I remembered the talk Wu and Misako had last night. He said he was scared, so I'm guessing this was pretty serious.
"Cole you alright dude?" Jay asked, waving his hand in front of my face.
"Huh what?" I asked, blinking and swattig his hand away.
"You've been spaced out for like three minutes man, you sure nothing's on your mind?"
"Don't worry, I'm fine," I said trying to reassure him. "Just a bit worried for Kai, how is he Zane?"
I was glad I changed the subject, because I really did want to know about Kai.
"He's awake, but still in bad condition," Zane said looking a little worried. "He has two cracked ribs, his throat was bad as well and he can't speak properly. We tried asking him what happened, but..."
"But what?" I asked, confused on why Zane trailed off. "He's okay though, right?"
"Not really," Jay said, scratching his head nervously. "There's this mark on his chest and it was bad, I think it's gonna be a permanent scar to be honest,"
"Let me guess, he wasn't happy about that?" I asked with a small smile.
"Yeah, he tried to stand up but he ended up falling in his face," Jay said with a smile, then he frowned. "When we tried picking him up, that's when things went weird,"
I was about to ask how when everyone was called into the living room. Walking in, I found Lloyd, Skylor and Nya sitting on the couch. Wu and Misako stood beside each other in the front of the room. I then also remembered that they said they'd tell us about whatever it was today. Kai, Echo and Pixal weren't here, most likely back in the infirmary. I was cut off from my thoughts as Wu began talking.
"We have not been completely honest with you," Wu said with his hands behind his back, he then pulled out a scroll. "It's time we tell you about, "The Whispering Blade,"
