The Destiny of the Pink Ninja

Chapter 26: I Thought I Lost You :')

Zane's P.O.V.

I returned, it feels good. But it feels different somehow. I still don't know how, but it does. My brothers? No. My sister? No, she's as protective as ever. Erika? Almost impossible. Sensei Wu? No. Sensei Garmadon and Misako? No. P.I.X.A.L.? Not in the way that bother me (:3 love is in the air XD). Paty? Hmmm... I must talk with her. Luckily she was in the training room.

— Paty?

— Yes Zane?

She faced me just with the sound of my voice.

— Something happen in my *cough* absence?

She turned around facing the punching bag, giving it an occasional punch, trying to avoid eye contact with me.

— N-nothing important if that's what you mean.

— Are you sure? 'Cause I feel something differ...

— No Zane, everything is as the moment you left.

— Then why P.I.X.A.L. was scrapped?

— For the same reason the team tear apart, and I...

—What happened?

— Shit... —she cursed herself.

— What happened?!

— I... I just.

I couldn't ask any other thing. She was gone. I think I should look for answers with someone else. Maybe the girls.

I found them in their room, reading a book, but I couldn't read which ones.

— Erika, sister.

— Hmm? Oh! Hey Zane —Zai said.

— What's up Zane? —Erika smiled.

— Um... Can I ask you something?

— Uh, sure what is it? —they said at unison.

They live the book on behind them and sitting on their beds at the same time. I forgot they do that. Like they knew what the other one is about to say or do.

— Exactly what happened to the team when I was gone?

—Uh umm, well, it's just... —Erika stuttered.

— I-it's complicated Zane —Zai mumbled.

— Girls... What. Happened?

— When we thought you were gone... —Erika began.

— ...We began to have fights for stupid reasons, Jay and Cole's fights over Nya were the most common... —Zai continued.

— ...that became so constant, that we all took different roads... —Erika said.

— ...And none of us but Lloyd and Paty remained as a ninja, Paty was a "half-time ninja"... —Zai continued.

— ...We came back together just 4 days ago —Erika finished.

— And Paty? What happened to her? Why she avoid me when I asked her?

— Let's just say, it's hard to admit that you were going to do, what she almost did —Zai said.

— That was? —I asked.

— Something bad, something horrible...—Erika said— She was about to...

— We swore to never talk about it —Zai said.

— He deserves to know —Erika answered.

— What she almost did? —I asked.
