Chapter 4
Kai's p.o.v
A week with the gang, the only one I let touch my creations are Cole. I'm painting one of the dragons I have, It looks like Shard so I paint it to the exact detail. Getting hungry, I go to get Cole. He and Zane are here to watch the ship while the others are out. I knock on Cole's door, shuffling sounds as cole opens the door. "Hey, what's up, need more paint." He asks. I shake my head and touch my belly. I'm still not comfortable with talking yet.
Cole smiles "Hungry." I nod. He steps out, going the way I came. "You work a stove." He asks, looking over his shoulder. I nod, we enter the kitchen. He shows me what's where and I get a frying pan out. "I have to check the supplies in the cargo hold, you okay." He asks and I nod. He leaves and I set about making an omelet. Pouring some milk in a glass, I wait for the pan to heat up, stiring and mixing the eggs. Grabbing my glass, I turn back, the rug catches my foot and I trip. Stumbling, I drop the glass to catch myself and it shatters. Huffing, turning to get a rag, I turn back and step around the glass but the dang rug catches my foot and I fall.
My arm slams on the glass, several dig deep but when I fell, the pan tips and lands on my leg. I scream in pain, grabbing the pan and throwing it as footsteps come. "Kai...oh my god." Cole kneels beside me. He sees my leg, the pan burned though the jeans and burned the skin. He takes a dish rag, wrapping it around my arm, another with ice on my leg. "Hold that and I'll get Zane." He says. He gets up but stops when I grab his shirt. "No..no leave." I think he'll ignore me and go but, Cole kneels back down after turning the stove off. Taking my arm over his shoulder, he picks me up. "Zane's in the bay, cataloging the supplies, I'll take you." He says. Resting my head on his shoulder, he nuzzles me. "Your okay, Zane will make you all better." He says. Cole knocks on the door, Zane opening it after a minute.
"Kai had an accident." Cole says. Zane looks, seeing the blood and ice pack. Cole lays me on the bed, staying beside me as Zane brings over some tools. He reaches for my arm but I flinch in fear. "It helps to talk to him, Zane." Cole says. "I'm going to see how bad the glass is embedded. You might need stitches." I tilt my head at the new word. "Stit...ches. What's that." I ask. Cole tools his sleeve up, a gash is there but black X's are spaced half inch apart. Reathing to touch, I run a finger on them. "That's stitches, it holds a wound together to let it heal. May I continue." Zane says. "Better." I ask. He creases his brows. "You make me better. Not hurt me." I ask. His and Cole's brows shoot up. "No, I wound never hurt on purpose. I was built to protect those, who cannot protect themselves." Zane says. I relax the grip I had on Cole's jacket, I feel warmth come off Zane. I can trust hem, no, I will trust hem. Zane removes the glass shards and stitch the wounds closed. Moving to my leg, he rests a hand on my leg.
About to ask why, his hand freezes over, the burn not hurting as bad. "How...how You do that." I ask. Zane smiles "I'm the elemental master of ice." He forms a ball of ice. "And I'm of earth, Jay is lightening, Nya is water, and Lloyd is energy." Cole says. Zane continues as I pounder, do they show and not get beaten.
I'm so deep in thought that I jump at Cole's touch. Looking, Zane's done with wrapping my leg. I get up, white, clean bandages on my arm and stand. Lemping to the door, Cole stops me. "I...hungry." I studder. Zane smiles, he follows me. "I'll fix you something." My heart soars, he's nice, really and truely nice. Sitting at the table again, I take the brush I was using. Luckily, my dominant hand isn't wrapped. Cole sits beside me, he watches as I give shard life. A plate set down has me smiling at Zane. A smile he returns.
Later that night, I enter the room of the ninja. Usually, I'm in the room beside this one, sleeping curled up at the footboard. Lloyd pucks his head up from his pillow, eyes half closed with sleep. Going to the spare bed, I pull the covers back and clime in. Head on the pillow, I fall asleep
