《Jade Garmadon: Lloyd Garmadons little brother》Chapter 11 ~A Good Day
Advertisement
Jade slept in my bed with me last night. I don't blame him though. If a dagger was thrown at me and I was close to getting stabbed in the head, I would want to sleep in my older brothers bed as well.
Jade was curled up into the smallest ball ever, using my chest as a pillow. It was 4:39 am. I did get some sleep but I didn't rest for long. I wanted to stay awake so nothing would hurt my brother. I gently reached over Jade and picked up my phone. I saw that I had a text message from Cole.
'Who is after Jade?? It's been messing with me all night. I want to know who it is so I can beat them up!'
I smiled a bit. Cole was always like the oldest brother of the group that would knock someone unconscious if they messed with one of us. I texted back.
'Idk. I have a note that says that I won't be able to protect Jade forever and that this person wants Jade. It was signed by someone called, Mr. C'
'Lets find who this Mr. C person is and beat them up!!'
'We need more information before we hunt down and beat up Mr. C'
'Ugh fine! Get some sleep Greenie'
'Same goes to you. You need some sleep as well in order to best up someone'
'Lol sleep now, talk later'
I turned off my phone and placed it back on the nightstand. I saw Astrid curled up on the foot of my bed, and she was purring.
Just as I closed my eyes I heard whimpering. My eyes shot wide open and I looked down at Jade. He was still asleep, but tears were streaming down his face. A nightmare. I hugged Jade, trying to comfort him, but he kept crying. I gently nudged him.

"Wake up, buddy" I whispered. He didn't hear me.
"Jade wake up." I spoke louder. He cried more. Soon enough he was bawling. I gently shook him, trying to wake him up.
"Jade! Wake up!!"
Just then Jade shot up. He was hyperventilating as tears kept flowing down his cheeks. He cried harder and I hugged him.
"There there, Jade. It was only a nightmare."
"T-there was a-a b-b-bad m-man a-and you d-died and I...h-he...he t-took me!!" Jade cried
"Hey, relax, buddy. I'm right here. Nothing will hurt you or me, and I won't die. I promise." I rubbed his back as I hugged him.
"I don't want you to die.." Jade whimpered.
"I wont. I promise." I reassured him. I wiped away his tears.
After I got Jade to calm down, he couldn't fall back asleep so we both snuck downstairs into the living room. Jade looked at the movies while I went into the kitchen to make some pancakes.
I walked into the living room and handed Jade a plate with pancakes on it, and sat down next to him on the couch.
"What movie are we watching, Jaddie?" I asked with a smile. He smiled back.
"Treasure Planet!" Jade giggled as he shoved a fork full of pancakes into his mouth. I chuckled and pressed play on the remote.

I watched Jade as he kept trying to do spinjitzu in the training room. Each attempt, he would either fall, or run into a wall. With each fail, I saw frustration grow in his eyes.
"Ugh! I'm never going to do spinjitzu!!" Jade pounded his foot on the floor. The lights flickered and then the wood board from under Jades foot, flipped up and smacked Jades face. Jade yelled in frustration, shadowy orbs formed at his hands.

"Jade, calm down or else you'll loose control of your element." I reminded him. He took a deep breath and his magic dissappeard. "Good. Now try again."
Jade attempted to do spinjitzu again, and after a few more tries, he started spinning and a purple and black tornado sparked up around him. Jade skidded to a stop and he looked over his shoulder back at me. He had a huge smile and a prideful sparkly in his eyes.
"Did you see me?! I did it! I did it! I did it!!!" Jade cheered in delight as he ran to me. I picked him up and tossed him in the air, then caught him.
"I did see you. That was amazing! I'm so very proud of you, Jaddie!" I grinned.
"Victory ice cream and candy?" Jade looked at me hopefully.
"Victory ice cream and candy!!" I cheered as we ran to the kitchen.
For the rest of the day, Jade gloated to everyone on how he did spinjitzu and that I was proud of him. Nothing bad happened for the entire day, which made the day even better. Mom and I tucked Jade into bed at night then mom brushed my side bangs out of my face and told me goodnight then she left to go into her room. I pulled up one of Jades bean bag to the side of his bed, and I laid down on the bean bag. Just to make sure Jade would be safe during the night, I slept in the bean bag all night, hoping that nothing bad would happen to Jade. After an hour or so, I drifted off to sleep, praying that Jade will be safe.

To The Far Shore
Post apocalyptic Oregon Trail. The apocalypse has come and gone. And come back again, and left again... nobody really knows how often. Nothing lasts forever, but nothing is ever completely gone. Which is a shame for young Mazelton, as his family has been around a terribly long time, and made an astonishing amount of enemies. Millenia's worth. So he has to run- from mobs, cannibals, soldiers, sailors, cholera, cattle, thieving sales-monks, starvation, mechanical horrors, vengeful spirits, negotiating your own marriage, and poison of every sort. Fortunately, his not terribly nice family has trained him well in the arts of core polishing. Or as you and I might know it- turning radioactive pellets into useful tools. And weapons. Updates Monday-Wednesday-Friday. Usual defensive tags applied. The goal isn't exactly family friendly, but you have probably seen worse on network TV. After the watershed. Not full blown HBO, let's say. This is the first novel I am sharing publicly, so feedback is very much appreciated and encouraged. Act 1 of the novel is completed, but do please let me know what works, what doesn't, and what you would like to see more of. Thank you, and Enjoy!
