A.N.-

To start out with, given the amount of comments I've seen in regards to it; for the sake of this book, Cole's last name will be HENCE. A lot have left comments trying to claim that it's something else, and it should be remembered that there is no canon last name for him.

Thanks for reading my fanfic, really hope you enjoy it!

Chapter One: The Beginning

I covered my eyes from the blinding morning sun as I woke up. Stretching, I yawned and glanced over at my alarm clock. "Great, it's seven," I sighed. I always got up around eight, but for some reason I woke up at seven today. I wouldn't even try to get back to sleep so I just decided to get up. I let my legs dangle off of the side of my bed and sat their lazily. As much as I wanted to, I didn't feel like getting up.

I changed my mind when my stomach growled. I rubbed my stomach "Looks like I gotta feed you," I said to my stomach as if it was a living thing. Right when I got to opening my bedroom door, an amazing smell filled my nose. "Oh my god," it smelt so good, it seemed like bacon and eggs. I walked downstairs and to the kitchen, to find my sister Amanda making breakfast.

She noticed me and smiled "Hey, you're up early," yeah, it was true. We had a huge difference when it came to our sleeping habits. I always went to bed late and got up late. With her, it was the complete opposite, her going to bed early and waking up early.

I nodded "Yeah," I walked to the island in the middle of the kitchen and leaned up against it, crossing my legs. "Well, breakfast certainly smells good today," I flashed her a smile as she did to me only seconds before. She was an amazing cook, and I always appreciated her food. I saw that it was bacon and eggs. And yet again, my nose was right. "You're awesome, you know that, right?"

She chuckled. "You bet," she pointed a spatula at me. She was just finishing up cooking breakfast as I got down there, and she put the food on a couple of plates. "Sorry if it's not a lot, I wasn't expecting you for breakfast, so I didn't bother making enough for two," she normally left earlier for work on Mondays, so I wasn't expecting to wake up to her cooking. She worked at the Jamanakai medical center down the street most days out of the week, excluding the weekends.

"It's fine," I assured her. "I appreciate this, though, I could never pass up on your cooking," She handed me my plate and we both sat at the island. I started eating, savoring every bite I took. "So, you coming back at your normal time?" I questioned her. The night before, she told me that she might have been coming home early and we could watch a movie or something together.

She shrugged. "I don't know, I need to talk to my boss," she told me. I was really wishing that she could because we haven't had sister time with each other in a while. "Sorry if I don't end up coming back early. I'll make up for it sometime if I can't," she promised me. I knew that she'd keep that promise, she wasn't the kind of person who would break a promise. She always kept her word, no matter what that word was.

"Thanks, but it's okay if you can't. There's always next time," I wasn't sure when next time would be, but it had to come around eventually. I put my elbow up on the counter and rested my hand in my hand. "Well, anyways, I'm going to end up going into town sometime today, but I should be back by the time you might end up coming back."

"That's fine," she gave me an approving nod. I told one of my friends that I would help them with something stupid. They needed help moving something through town, and they asked me to help them move it, so I agreed. I knew that I could get it done fairly quickly, plus I owed them after they helped me out with something. "Well, I got to get going," she told me as she put her plate in the sink.

"Okay, bye, see you later," I waved to her as she left. I quickly finished up my own breakfast and put my plate on top of hers in the sink. I didn't even bother doing the dishes, I always waited until the sink was almost overflowing to do them, I just didn't feel like doing it at the moment. I had a good few hours or so before I was supposed to help out my friend, and I had nothing to pass the time with.

I walked out to the living room and plopped onto the couch. I stared at the blank screen of the TV. I didn't bother trying to find something to watch, there just wasn't anything good on to watch in the morning, it's hard to deny.

Somehow, I managed to fall asleep in the short amount of time I had to wait. I fell into a dream where I was flying, like, with no plane or anything. I thought that it would be awesome to really do that, but it was impossible, obviously. In the middle of my strangely amazing dream, I was startled by a knock at the door.

I jump a little, shouting out "I'm up!" I looked around the living room and remembered I'd fallen asleep. I rubbed my eyes and walked to the door, opening it up to see my friend, Avery. "Hey," I greeted her with half-awake voice and a hug.

"Hey, to you too," she said as we pulled away. I walked outside next to her and closed the door behind me. "I really appreciate you helping me out," she admitted.

"No problem," it still wasn't a problem to me. Like I said, I owed her and it was the least I could do. I started walking with her to her house, which was only a few blocks from mine. "Okay, so, what exactly is it that I'm helping you move?" I questioned. I never really asked what I was going to help her move, until now.

"Oh," she looked over at me "Just this old piece of junk that my dad left behind," I wasn't going to ask what it was, because knowing her dad, it was probably some old hunting thing or something.

"Okay," I nodded. We continued walking down the road, me with my arms folded behind my head. It only took us about five minutes to walk to her house. It was nice to get a little morning air, i never really went out on morning walks.

We finally got to Avery's house, and she took me to her back yard shed. She opened it up and I stood outside. She dug threw a pile of junk, most of it looking like it was her dad's hunting stuff. "Hold on," She said before she finally pulled out some stuff. It was a huge box of hunting equipment, like I had suspected. "Sorry that it's a lot, and that it's heavy, but we should be able to get this done quickly. Just need to bring these over to Kevin," She told me. He was a guy who loved hunting as well, who had told me did, which I guessed she was giving the equipment to.

"Alright," I grabbed one of the ends of the box, Avery grabbing the other end. I was the one walking backwards while carrying it, so I kept looking over my shoulder once and a while. I looked back over at Avery. "So, you think he'll like this stuff?" I questioned her.

She nodded "Probably. This is all collectors stuff, or something. I don't exactly know how useful this stuff is, but it always did my dad good. So, I guess so," As we walked, people stared at the large box of Hunting Equipment. I guess that it wasn't normal to see two girls walking through a small town with a huge box full of hunting stuff.

It didn't take us that long to get to the guy, Kevin's, house, that she was talking about. You'd think that in Jamanakai, it being as small as it was, that I would know him, but I didn't. I knew most of the people in Jamanakai Village, being friends with them all. It was really hard not to know everyone, but it would be interesting to meet someone new. We dropped the box onto the ground in front of the guy's house. Avery turned to his house, yelling "I'm here with the stuff!"

We waited for a second before he came out. He was a younger guy, around my age, probably 24 or 24 or 25. He greeted us with a smile. "Thanks," he looked at Avery, then me "Who's your friend?"

"This is Cassidy."

"Cass," I corrected her. I preferred to be called Cass. All my friends called me Cass, and I was only called Cassidy for formal situations. Cass was just my nickname, and thank god I didn't grow up with Cassie as my nickname, oh how much I hated that name.

"Well, nice to meet you, Cass."

"Same to you," I said back to him. He seemed nice, so I knew I'd be putting him on my list of friends. "Well anyways, I'm gonna go head back home. I'll we ya guys around," I waved at them as I started back for my house.

I walked a little slowly so I could enjoy the nice fresh air a little longer. It was a really nice day, sunny and in the 70's. I looked at people around me enjoying themselves. It was always peaceful around Jamanakai Village, something I could easily enjoy. I've always enjoyed peace, no doubt in my mind.

Not a lot of people knew about my past. I was someone that people saw as normal, but had a past they'd never could have guessed. I actually know how to fight, and have used that for good. Since I was little, probably around ten, I've trained under my dad to fight. There was never a day I wasn't training, whether it being hand-to-hand or with a weapon.

Another thing, that is definitely unbelievable, is the past of my mother. I never knew her that well, but I'd certainly want to meet her. She was... unique, not like most people. She was an elemental. What else makes it unbelievable? Her powers were passed down to me. I was a second generation elemental, the Wind Elemental.

I've heard of other elementals around Ninjago, but I've never come to look for them or anything. I, personally, have gone around to help people, using my power for good. That was since I was 17, and now, me being 22 , I'm settled down with my sister. We don't know why, but she doesn't have the same power as I do, or any for that matter. We guess that it's because our dad wasn't one, her getting that from him.

I stopped when I saw a couple of kids messing around near the towns fountain. The nice, calm mood suddenly changed when the sound of a scream filled the air. I froze and looked around. I knew that someone was in danger, so I dashed in the direction that that scream came

from. I rushed passed people who all, too, looked in the direction of the scream.

I stopped at an alley way and saw a woman, who I presumed was the one that screamed, running out. She was out of breathe, as she approached me. "What's wrong?" I questioned, determined to help her in any way I could.

She looked back into the alley and then to me "They, they attacked me! You need to stop them!" She exclaimed. I could see she was a little beaten up, with a couple of already formed bruises and cuts.

I nodded, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I'll take care of it, just get somewhere safe," She nodded back at me, and ran off.

I looked into the alley, wondering who she was talking about. I ran down the alley in search for who ever she was talking about. Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a few dark figures running. I knew that was them, so I went chasing after them. The chase led me to the edge of the mountain to see a path that I saw them run down. I continued down the path, not giving up. I had to catch them, and get justice for the women. I wasn't going to stop until I did so.
