Rewind the Forward Effects (Ninjago AU)

Chapter 23: More Hurt

.....

"This is so much paperwork and stuff." Chris said. "This and all of the wedding planning..."

He continued to fill out the necessary paperwork to get the kids transferred to another school. He wanted Blaire to stop getting bullied.

.....

"I don't wanna go to school!" Blaire protested.

"I'm sorry, sweetie." Chris said.

"I'm gonna die!" Blaire said.

"You're not gonna die. If anything happens, your father will come pick you up." Chris said.

Blaire cried the whole way to school.

.....

"Look at her! Living in a house with two gay men! Ha ha ha!" A kid laughed.

Another kid took her lunch again. She ran out of the cafeteria, crying.

.....

She was sitting against a wall, knees up to her chest and face buried between her knees. A teacher saw this.

"Aren't you supposed to be in the cafeteria?" The teacher asked.

"A kid took my lunch!" Blaire cried. There were actually tears in her eyes.

"Well...we can't have you go hungry." They said.

Blaire cried.

"If anything happens at recess, we will take you inside and call your parents to pick you up, ok?" They said.

Blaire nodded.

.....

She was being shoved, kicked, and punched. She cried for help...yet nobody responded. Kids cheered on the bullies. Blaire's friends cheered the bullied on, instead of helping her. She didn't do what they forced her to do. Soon, another kid ran up to the crowd.

"GUUUUUUUYYYYYYYS! TWO MEN JUMPED OVER THE FENCE!" They said.

"Joe, this better not be a trick." Another kid said.

"I think they heard Blaire's voice..." Joe said. "Maybe you should stop before anything bad happens..."

"As if. This is interesting!" They said.

"Interesting enough to beat up my daughter?"

"Interesting enough to not listen to what I said a couple days ago?"

"...guys...you really screwed up now..." Joe said, fleeing the scene.

They stopped and turned around.

"U-Uncle Nix? Dad?" Blaire asked, quietly.

"Nix? As is...Acronix? One of the twin Elemental Masters of Time?" A kid asked.

"Y-Yeah..." Blaire quietly answered.

"That means...oh lord." The kid said. "Guys! You should've stopped when some of us told you to!"

"Why should we have stopped?" One of the bullies asked.

"...you dun goofed now..." They said.

"I suggest that you leave her alone before I shove a knife into your little chest, you sad sack of shit." Krux said.

"What are you gonna do now? Beat me?" One of the bullies asked.

"Unfortunately, I have a rule against battling children." Krux answered.

"I'll kill him for you!" Acronix said.

"Brother, no. Don't kill the child. Let karma do its thing." Krux said.

"I'll kill you before you can kill me!" One of the bullies said.

"You think you can kill me and my brother? God, you're pathetic." Acronix said.

A teacher saw this.

"Who are you two? And why are you here?"

"Blaire be getting bullied. We heard her call for help and helped her when nobody came." Acronix replied.

"...you two are her uncle and father, right?" The teacher asked.

"Correct." Krux replied.

"Do you want to take her home?" They asked.

"Look at her condition! She needs to go to the hospital!" Krux said.

"Poor girl is thinking about suicide..." Acronix mumbled under his breath.

.....

"You JUMPED OVER THE FENCE?!" Chris asked.

"WE HAD TO HELP HER! SHE WAS GETTING BEATEN DOWN TO A PULP! I CANNOT LET SOMEONE I LOVE GET BEATEN LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Krux answered.

"Again?" Chris asked.

"People at school when Acronix and I were younger would terrorize him. The beat him up, verbally abused him, touched him inappropriately, pulled on his hair, and did some other things..." Krux replied.

"That's...that's terrible!" Chris said.

.....

Acronix didn't come out of his room after what was said. He opened the drawer in his nightstand and pulled out the small blade that was there and started cutting. He started crying. There was a knock on the door.

"Go...away..." Acronix said between sobs.

"Brother...you haven't come out of your room for hours. I'm worried about you." Krux said.

"I...wanna...be...left...alone..." Acronix said.

Krux somehow picked the lock and entered. He closed the door behind him. He then sat down on the bed next to his brother. He then closely looked at what he was doing.

"Were you cutting?!" Krux asked.

Acronix said nothing. Krux immediately hugged him, basically making him drop the blade as he hugged back.

"I'm...sorry!" Acronix said.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. And self harm isn't the answer to everything. There's resources that are available." Krux said.

Chris soon opened the door, with Blaire in his arms.

"Babe, she started cutting." Chris said.

"I'm going to slaughter someone." Krux said, pulling Acronix closer.

"Did your brother start cutting again?" Chris asked. "And please don't kill anyone."

"Yes. And I'm trying to help him." Krux answered. "And I will do what I think is necessary.

"...we need to get help for these two." Chris stated.

"The reason why my brother is self harming is because of certain things that have been said that triggered bad memories. Avoiding saying those things will keep those bad memories away and will keep him calm." Krux said.

"Blaire needs help." Chris said.

"Those bullies need to fuck off until the transfer process is completed." Krux said.

"How do you know what's best?" Chris asked.

"I've been through those situations and know exactly how to handle them." Krux replied.

.....

A few weeks have passed, Blaire and Noah were in their new school, and one day, Blaire came home crying. And when she took her pants off, her butt was red and there was blood coming out of it. Chris saw this and asked her about it.

"Blaire, what happened?" Chris asked.

"The bullies were also transferred to my new school and one of them stuck their pee pee inside my butt!" Blaire replied.

Krux overheard the conversation.

"Alright. SOMEBODY IS GOING TO DIE!" Krux stated.
