Ninjago- The Whispering Blade: Book 1

Ch. 8

Kai's POV
Nobody spoke to each other when we got back to the bounty. Skylor didn't even look at me. Lloyd, Nya and Jay stared at Cole and I in shock. And Zane kept a blank face. Cole, I haven't spoken to him. In fact no one has, he locked himself up in his room the moment we arrived.
Sensei Wu and Misako asked us what had happened, but I had a feeling they already knew. It was currently in the middle of the night, and I was staring at my reflection. The mark I had before, it was gone. As if it were never there in the first place. I sighed, and went out of my room, and onto the dock.
To my surprise, Skylor was already there. I stood beside her, making her jump. We shared a look, and I quickly looked away. Though I caught her smoking a ciggerate.
"Those things can kill, you know." I said taking it out of her mouth and tossing it away.
"Yeah well, I've had worse," Skylor said while taking out other ciggerate and lighting it.
I sighed, there was no arguing with this woman. We stood on the dock in silence for what seemed like an eternity, until Skylor spoke up.
"You know, Cole really does love you."
I coughed, and suddenly felt very warm inside. I didn't look at her as I finished and instead looked up at the sky.
"W-what ma-makes ya s-say that?" I asked, not daring to look at her.
"Because he broke the curse."
"Oh."
We never really talked about that, this was the first time someone had brought it up. I looked down and sighed, sneaking a glance at Skylor. She was looking at me, and...crying?
"Hey Skylor, what's wrong?" I asked in a soothing tone, putting a hand on her cheek. She let out a choked laugh and put her hand on mine.
"Nothing is wrong, I just...You love him back, don't you?"
The question caught me off guard, and I gasped moving my hand away from her. To be honest, I've thought alot about it ever since my memory. I did love him, but I also loved Skylor. I didn't want her to get hurt. I realized how long I was quiet, and spoke up.
"Skylor I...I..."I couldn't get my words out, so I just moved closer and hugged her. "I'm sorry,"
Skylor returned the hug and patted my back. I wish I didn't feel so weak, otherwise I wouldn't be crying right now. I wouldn't be feeling the love I used to have for the girl I am hugging, for one of my best friends. Skylor continued to rub my back and whisper soothing things in my ear.
"Don't ever be sorry Kai," She said making me look into her eyes. "I'll never hate you for loving someone else, in fact I encourage it. You go to him and tell him how you feel, I'll support you no matter what."
I wiped my eyes and smiled. Skylor always had a way of cheering me up. I straightened up and took her hand, shaking it.
"So this is the end?" I asked, a little hesitant but still smiling. Skylor smiled and shook my hand as well.
"This is the end."
