The Wolf and The Dragon (Book 1)

Wine on the rooftop

[Cole]

I went back with Kim to her flat to get some of her stuff, as soon as she opened the door she freezes. There was still blood on the floor, and I see the pain in her face as if she was reliving that awful moment over and over...

-"Kim, I promised you, no one would hurt you ever again"

She said nothing, only let me embrace her, and stay in my arms for a few seconds.

-"I need to clean this up!" She tells me pulling away from me.

-"you go and pack what you need and I clean this up while I wait for you."

-"are you sure?"

-"yes, just go!"

A few minutes later we both finished our tasks. Kim had 2 bags with her, she gives a quick glimpse around, to check if she is forgetting anything, and grab a velvet box, inside a single Dagger, the pair of the other dagger Grey used to hurt her.

-"I will probably need to do a few more trips" - she said

-"We can do as many trips as you need, but let's go for now before the others start to worry about us."
-"do you mean, worry about you?!"

-"No, I meant what I said, US. Zane has just messaged me, whatever you believe or not, you are already part of this family."

She gives me a smile, and we fly back to the Monastery.

Everyone, but Ruby, was together in the Lounge, Misako was explaining all about the Origins of the Wolf and The Dragon. Kim and I just join in, to try to understand more about what has happened early on in Ninjago Medical School.

After Misako finish explaining, of course, there were lots of questions. Lloyd came to say thank you to Kim, for free him and Ruby. He also wanted to know how we knew they were in trouble. Kim was a bit on the edge to answer, she has been very quiet since we went back to her flat, so I explained most of it.

Master Wu requested some time alone with Kim and told me to sort out Jay's old bedroom for her. Jay heard and followed me to help, we took Kim's bags with us, while Kim followed Master Wu to the meditation room.

Kai went to get everyone's food from Chen's Noodles, and Lloyd went to check on Ruby, back in his room.

-"Hey Man, so, is Miss Windy staying with us now."

-"Yes, Master Wu wants to find more about her power and also training her."

-"Are you ok about that?"

-"Yes, why not?"

-"I don't know, you have been acting a bit weird since you brought her here yesterday."

-"Me? - No way... Jay, I think you are imagining things. I am a bit tired, I haven't had much sleep last night that is all."

-"What do you think about the Might Goddess?"

-"Do you mean Ruby? - I think she makes Lloyd really happy, and that is what matters most of all."

-"Yep... But, all that awesome power, she did all single-handed. Unbelievable!"

-"Well, accordingly to what Misako just explained to us, that was only a sample of what she can do. I agreed with you that was awesome."

-"Ok, bed in place, empty clean cupboards, bathroom in perfect order, I hope Miss Windy would like her new room".

-"I am sure she will."

-"Well, I will dash off to find my fiance! - Heard me, fiance... Ahahah... Oh, I like the sound of it: Fiance...
