Chapter 2
Ali's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes! My baby brother was cradling me in his arms, sobbing and telling me how much he'd missed me. This was the baby brother that had been taken from me fourteen years ago, the baby brother that I'd thought I would surely never see again. But now he was here telling me that he loves me, even though our father had chosen me to keep, and put Jay up for adoption.
I loved Jay so, so much!
I saw him wave away his friends, and I was glad because all I wanted to do was hold my little brother and ask him about everything that happened when he left.
"Jay! I looked everywhere for you, but nobody knew where you were. And then finally I found someone who knew, and they told me to find you here!" I sobbed and he hugged me even tighter.
"Well, you're never going to have to look for me again because I'm not going anywhere," he giggled and wiped some of my tears away. He did not look anything like he did when he was four years old; there were some similarities, like his freckles, his bright blue eyes, and his auburn hair. But he looked different- older.
"Tell me everything!" I demanded, still clinging to Jay like Velcro.
He opened his mouth and then hesitated, "Okay but you have to promise not to be surprised okay?"
Surprised? What does he mean by surprised? I wondered.
"Okay now talk!" I pleaded impatiently.
Kai's POV
Lloyd and I walked back to the living room sharing three thoughts: Who was Ali? How did she know Jay? And she's so cute!
We entered the living room silently and were immediately greeted by a chorus of groans. "We're starving! What took you so long?" Cole demanded, snatching the boxes of pizza from Lloyd.
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you, and it may upset you a bit sis…" I mumbled, before I could stop myself, glancing up at Nya. She'd be so upset if I told her what I'd just seen.
"Upset me? Why? What were you guys doing while we were waiting?" Nya asked curiously. Her eyes darted back and forth from me to Lloyd.
"Well, uh…" Lloyd began to explain the whole Jay situation.
Jay's POV
Ali seemed to soak up every single word I spoke, and she asked many questions. She seemed so eager to know about every little detail of my life, and surprisingly it didn't seem to strike her as the least bit unusual that I was a ninja. In fact, it really seemed to interest her. She kept urging me to tell her more and more about what it was like to be a ninja. Ali also asked who Kai and Lloyd were, and when she did I giggled and she blushed. I knew that she obviously liked them. So then, I decided it was about time to introduce her to the ninja, sensei, and Misako.
"Um… Ali, I think it's about time that you meet everyone," I said through giggles. She just smiled and playfully shoved me for teasing her about Lloyd and Kai.
And then her smile faded a bit. And she got that same worried look in her eyes that she'd had when I'd first seen her. "What's wrong?" I asked, concerned.
"Uh, Jay. I think there's something I need to tell you before I meet your friends," she whispered.
"What is it?"
"You won't freak out?"
I chuckled a bit, "I've seen it all."
"Alright," she took a deep breath, "I'm a- "
Just then Nya burst through the doors, looking like she could strangle someone. "Nya, calm down! You said you wouldn't get like this!" Kai called after her, still racing after her from the hall, but she ignored him.
Crap! I thought, what did you tell her Kai?
"JAY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH HER!?" Nya screamed furiously.
"Uh, hi Nya, I'd like you to meet Ali, my sister," I said sheepishly, hoping that she wouldn't be mad.
"I don't care who the heck she is! Why-" she stopped, "your sister?" I nodded. "You never told me you had a sister," Nya said accusingly. Looking from me to Ali.
"I guess it just never came up."
"Are you going to stay with us?" Nya more calmly asked.
"Um… if it's okay with you?"Ali looked back at me and I nodded, and then we both looked at Nya in agreement.
She immediately grinned, "I think it's an awesome idea! I've always wanted another girl on the bounty. Oh and by the way, my name's Nya. I'm Jay's girlfriend. Sorry if I scared you a bit."
"It's okay, nice to meet you Nya," Ali said happily.
"Come on! I want you to meet the others!" Nya grabbed Ali's hand and nearly dragged her back to the living room. I sighed, relieved that Ali and Nya were getting along fine. I really wanted my sister to feel comfortable here. And for some reason that I didn't quite understand, I didn't want Kai and Lloyd flirting with her, which would be hard because she was much, much prettier than I'd remembered. I just wanted her the way she is.
"Hey guys!" Nya yelled over the boys, "Guys!" They all looked up at Nya, and then Ali stepped out from behind her, and did a shy little wave. All of the guys seemed entranced by her (she is really pretty X3 lol), as if they were under a spell.
"This is my sister, Ali. We were separated when we were really young, and until today we weren't really sure that we'd ever see each other again. But she's going to stay with us, and I want you guys to treat her with respect, okay?" I asked. The nodded and then instantly ditched the pizza, to go introduce themselves.
"It's nice to meet you, Ali," sensei somehow spoke over the all of the noise. He seemed intrigued by Ali, as I watched him observe her and all of the attention she was getting.
"You too," she replied politely.
Sensei turned to me and spoke quietly, "Jay I'd like to talk with you for a moment." I looked at Sensei Wu, wondering where he was going with this.
"Um… sure," I said stepping out into the hallway with him. "What's up?"
"Well, I don't know where to start," he pondered for a moment and then started, "last week when Misako and I were looking through old prophecies, we found an old prophecy. This prophecy spoke of a ninja reuniting with an old friend, who holds much beauty, the prophecy said that this girl will posses a unique power, a power like no other: sorcery. The girl will become the purple ninja and with her power she will save Ninjago from a great evil: the son of a great villain."
"And let me guess, you think that, that girl is Ali?" I asked, astonished.
"I believe so," sensei confirmed.
"So you're saying that my sister is a- a witch?" Why didn't she just say so? I wondered.
Before sensei could answer Ali walked into the room. Without thinking, I blurted out, "Ali, is it true that you're a- well, a witch?"
She stared at me very strangely and replied, " Yeah, I tried to tell you earlier, but how did you figure out that I was a witch?"
"Read this," sensei simply handed her the scroll containing the prophecy, and her eyes widened.
"Me? A ninja?" she questioned in utter shock. Sensei nodded.
"No matter what the prophecy says, it is your choice. If you choose to join us, then meet me at the training deck at 6 am."
"Well if all of Ninjago depends on it, then I'm in," Ali said fearlessly, "I'll go get my things."
Hehe, well that was a turn of events. I hope you guys like it so far. Umm… hopefully I'll have chapter 3 out tomorrow or the next day J In case you're wondering Ali is about 19, so I imagine about a year older than Jay.
