The Girl Who Couldn't Feel | Ninjago Fanfic

The Calm Before The Storm | Chapter One

Laughter. Crying. Angst. Joy. I didn't know what those emotions felt like. I was born with the lack of emotion. My father was born without emotions, which led to my parents inevitable divorce. I was destined to be alone, who would love someone who couldn't love? I couldn't feel anything, yet my mission was to destroy the ninja. I couldn't feel hatred, or jealousy. I was the Master of Feeling meaning I could change the emotions of others. I was out to destroy the Ninja, from within. I lived alone in Melodonia. I had met another elemental master, Karloff. We were quite different, he used his powers to enhance his work. While I hadn't used mine since my father had died. My mother left when I was eleven, I didn't follow her. I didn't hate her... or at least I couldn't. My father had died seven years later, leaving me alone. He was killed by the hands of the ninja. So many innocent soldiers died that day. It wasn't any of their fault, they were just pawns in Chen's game. Chen never knew my father was an elemental master, or that the power even existed. Few people did, My father and his ancestors did their best to keep it hidden. I had to get revenge for my father, I owed it to him. I wished, prayed to the first spinjitzu master, that one day I'd feel rage and be able to kill the Ninja. I looked at the flying ship as I frowned. 'How am I supposed to get there?' I thought blandly. I didn't know how to be impatient, or angry. I only knew numbness. I watched as the ship slowly landed a few feet in front of me. 'That is strangely convient' I thought as I snuck aboard the ship. The ninja wouldn't know what hit them.

"It's so nice to have you back" The blue one said with a smile as he patted the one made of steel. I was hidden nicely behind one of the ship sails. 'Why does a flying ship need a sail?' I thought as I watched them all laugh. I couldn't feel envy, but I'm sure I would be feeling it right now. There was a moment of silence before someone grabbed my shoulder. "Enjoying the view?" An elderly man asked. I turned around emotionless. "You could say I am" I said as I turned back to stalk my prey. "May I ask what brings you aboard our ship?" He asked sitting beside me as he sipped on tea. I looked at him, he was calm. I wasn't expecting him to have such a lack of emotion. Very few people tolerated me enough to have a simple conversation. "I was looking for a new home" I lied. Lying wasn't hard when you didn't feel guilt, one day I secretly wished it would all catch up to me. Stop me from what I had become. "Well, Master of Feelings" He said standing up. I looked at him with wide eyes, if I could feel shock, I'm sure I was in it. "I think you've found one" He continued with a smile, helping me up. I felt nothing, no thankfulness. It wasn't my fault, this power was more like a curse. 'How does he know I'm the Master of Feelings?' I asked myself as I followed him into the ship.

"Ninja, I would like to introduce you to your new house mate" The old man said introducing me. I stood beside him with a blank stare. 'I should wave, they'll think I'm rude' I thought as I brushed the thought aside. I had a mission, I could care less about what they thought of me. "Welcome, uh?" The green one said, attempting to shake my hand. "Maree" I said, shaking his hand. He smiled at me, which I didn't return. "Lloyd" he said, retracting his hand. "Ah, Maree as in the sea of bitterness. My name is Zane" The titanium one greeted as he bowed. I assumed this was what awkwardness felt like. The others introduced themselves quickly. "So 'Master of Emotions' What do your powers do?" The blue one asked. I closed my eyes as I focused my energy onto him. He frowned before suddenly collapsing to the ground, hysterically crying.  "Jay! Are you okay?" The girl who I had now known as Nya. "What did you do to him?!" Cole seethed, approaching me. "He is fine, you asked me what my power was" I explained, my voice lacking concern and empathy. Nya looked at me with a glare that normally would've sent shivers through someones spine. The Ninja continued to glare at me, as Jay sobbed. "Maree, if you could please revoke the effects you put on Jay" Sensei Wu asked kindly, his kindness would not go unnoticed. Kindness is what made a person weak, as my father would always say. I sighed as I revoked the sadness, feeling the cold empty feeling flow through my veins. I got a glimpse at an emotion when I stole it back from an enemy, only a second of what I dreamed of feeling. He stood up and wiped the tears from his eyes. "Woah, that was so weird!" He exclaimed as he clapped his hands, a huge smile breaking across his face. "What ever do you mean?" Zane asked, a puzzled look on his face. "I was fine and then I felt this heavy weight of grief, and sadness. I couldn't control my emotions!" He explained bouncing up and down. He was definitely excited, I could feel the emotion radiating from him, it was warm. 'He will be useful' I thought, making note of his enthusiasm. "Yeah, that's cool and all... but why don't you keep your powers to yourself" Kai advised with a sour tone. 'Ah, the defensive type. Very helpful' I knew that they probably weren't going to trust me now. 'That was a mistake, I should've waited' I thought as I attempted to feel some sort of regret. I nodded silently. 'Get ready for the storm' I thought as they showed me to my room.

The room I was staying in was shared with Nya. 'This won't be so insufferable' I thought blandly. I quickly unpacked my small backpack, keeping my notebook hidden inside. "Woah is that all you have?" Nya blurted out, her cheeks flushed as I felt extreme embarrassment fill the air. "I travel light" I explained, putting my tank top and leggings in the giant dresser. "I'm sorry that didn't come out right" Nya apologized quickly. I paid no attention to her, instead waiting for her to turn her back. "What I mean was, that won't last you very long. So maybe we could go to the shops tomorrow!" She exclaimed, her black ponytail bouncing. 'She definitely spends time with Jay' I thought, if I could chuckle I would've. "I guess that would be fine" I said with a curt nod. She stood there awkwardly in a daze for a few moments before finally snapping back to reality. "O-Oh good! I'll let the boys know it'll be a girls day!" She exclaimed, excusing herself from the room. 'Finally' I thought, as I slipped a panel of wood out of the dresser. It just so happened that there was a spot just big enough for my journal. It would be safely tucked away behind the drawers, especially if the dresser was filled with clothes. I took the small journal my father gave to me, I ran my finger over the engraving once. I knew I would be crying if I could, I wanted nothing more than to at least grieve my father's death. I shook of the feeling, or the lack of. "Step One, Complete" I whispered, slipping the leather bound book into the hiding place.
