“Zane, get Jay in here and lock the window.” Liana stood by and listened in bewilderment as Cole and Zane eased Jay inside, helping him down to the floor so he could catch his breath. Cole shut the window quietly behind him, glancing out for any sign of the cats before drawing the curtains. “OK, Cole, you’d better tell me what’s going on here right now. Uncle George is going to completely lose it if he finds three guys with me in my room.” Liana frowned as she set her hands on her hips. “Who are these two, anyway?” Jay gave her an odd look. “What, you don’t recognize us? Can’t you see who we are?” “Actually—” She pulled out a flashlight, clicked it on, and shone it on her face coolly. “—I can’t.” “AUGH!” Jay recoiled at the sight of the six white scars across the girl’s eyes, disfiguring her face and blinding her for life. Zane’s eyes widened, but he said nothing. “Jay!!” Cole flashed him a dirty look and hissed. “Be quiet! You’ll bring the relatives in here—!” “Liana?” A voice called from outside the bedroom. The group froze at the sound of footsteps coming closer. “Are you all right?”
Oh boy, this is going to turn out interesting either way.
Chapter 10: Fleeing the Felines and Spilling the Beans “Quick, hide!” Liana rasped, looking panicky. She opened a closet, revealing several dresses that probably belonged to all the girls in the household, and grabbed Zane’s arm. The nindroid didn’t protest as she shoved him inside and shut the door. Meanwhile, Cole and Jay crawled rapidly under the bed, the latter doing his best to contain grunts of pain. Just when Jay was scooting next to Cole and trying to get his legs out of sight, the two of them froze as they heard the door open. Light from the hall flooded into the small room and onto Cole’s hand, which was sticking out. He slid it back under the bed as a young, female voice inquired. “Are you OK? I thought I heard you yelp or something.” Cole peeked out from under the bed to see a pair of pink, fluffy slippers walking up to a pair of pale bare feet. Liana’s voice sounded awkward and uneasy. “Oh? I—I’m OK. I just—stubbed my toe, Rosie, that’s all.” Cole recalled that Rosie was the cousin whom Liana was good friends with. Holding his breath and praying that Jay wouldn’t make a sound, he listened as Rosie said uncertainly. “Are you sure? I feel like you’ve been. . . Out of sorts recently.” “What?” Liana responded cautiously. “What makes you say that?” Rosie paused. Cole couldn’t see her face, but he saw the tip of a long, dark braid hanging down below her waist. There was a moment of silence. Then Rosie spoke quietly. “I know you’ve been having nightmares again, Liana.” He sensed Liana stiffen with tension. “What?” “I’ve heard you. You moan and cry in your sleep, sometimes shouting or sobbing out loud. Do—” She hesitated. “—Do you dream about Philip?” Liana shifted on her feet. “Uh, now really isn’t best time to—” “Is there something you want to talk about?” “. . . No. I’m fine.” Rosie sounded skeptical. “I’m not so sure about that.” “Well, I am.” Silence. Cole thought impatiently. Come onnn, Rosie, she’s fine, go away and go to bed already!
Cole and Jay shared an awkward glance at accidentally eavesdropping in on a private conversation. Finally Rosie said softly. “OK. If—if you’re sure.” The pink slippers stepped to the hallway, and the door began to close. She paused. “I’m here if you ever want to talk to me.” Then the door shut, and the room was cast in shadow again. Liana sighed. “You can come out now.” Zane stepped out of the closet whilst Cole and Jay scooted out uncomfortably from under the bed. Liana stood with her arms crossed, looking flustered and slightly cross. “Explanation. Now.” Cole stood up with a sigh, knowing that his and Liana’s secret was no more. “Liana, this is Zane, the White, A.K.A., Titanium Ninja,” He tilted his head toward the nindroid as he spoke. “And this is Jay, the Blue Ninja. Zane, Jay,” He gestured to Liana. “This is Liana. . . An old friend of mine.” Zane cocked his head curiously. “A friend of yours? From when?” Before Cole could speak, Jay interjected. “Wait—did I hear you mention Philip?” Zane said. “Who?” Liana said. “You know him?” Cole said. “Guys! Now is not a good time! Those cat-things are still out there, and we need to find the others before—” An ear-piercing crash split the air as something big and heavy blasted through the window, showering the room in shards of glass. Everyone ducked down, covering their heads. Jay shouted whilst Liana shrieked in shock. Cole dove to the floor behind the bed, crouching low the avoid the shower of shattered glass. He looked up to see a huge white cat-creature shaking the fragments out of its fur. It stood on all four paws and met Cole’s eyes. With a snarl, it leapt for him.
( It is, ALL my siblings seem to like it. And it's kinda funny since I have to almost force them to watch new episodes of Ninjago, but they're always asking me when we can watch more Miraculous now. )
(Either Miraculous is a really good show, or your siblings have no taste. )
( It's good! It dose have repetitive parts every episode though... And you might not like it. The show's strongest trait is it's amazingly thought out ship. It actually competes with itself. )

There was a moment of silence. Then Rosie spoke quietly. “I know you’ve been having nightmares again, Liana.” He sensed Liana stiffen with tension. “What?” “I’ve heard you.

Aww poor Liana.
If somebody finds the ninja...
Indeed. . .
It'd make for a very awkward meeting.
Uncle George: Liana, what the heck are three guys doing in your room--!? Liana & Ninja: OHMIGOSH IT'S NOT HOW IT LOOKS O_O

They found them!
Awesome!!
Run, before the cat gets you!! --That sounded less weird in my head.

(Really? For some reason that didn't seem like the type of show to have a ship in it. . . then again, it's not as if I ever looked into it. "Competes with itself"?)

He looked up to see a huge white cat-creature shaking the fragments out of its fur. It stood on all four paws and met Cole’s eyes. With a snarl, it leapt for him.
Cole yelled and scrambled under the bed, avoiding the blade-like claws in the nick of time. The cat yowled when it lost its balance and smashed into a dresser, knocking over a chair and the desk lamp in the process. It fell on its back, and before it could stumble to its paws Zane cried out. “Ice!” A burst of frozen liquid shot out from the palms of his hands and slammed into the cat. The creature screeched furiously as the ice pinned him down to the floor, covering his belly and hind legs. It twisted and swiped at Cole, who scrambled from under the bed. Jay suddenly shouted. “Look out!” Another cat burst in through the window, caterwauling loudly and lashing its long tail. “Get out of here!” Cole slammed the door open and shoved Liana into the hallway, Zane and Jay close behind. They raced out to the living area, where a middle-aged man and three teenage girls sat on the couches, all on their smartphones and devices. They looked up in shock as Liana and the three ninja burst in. “Everyone get out of here!” Zane gasped. “There’s—!” One of the cats ran up from behind and smashed into the nindroid, sending them both tumbling to the ground. A chair and coffee table were knocked over, and the girls shrieked. The man, who was slightly overweight and had balding brown hair—presumably Uncle George—shouted in shock and bolted from the couch, dropping his device. “Call the police!” Cole cried as he charged the huge cat and tried to wrestle him off Zane. George stood still in shock for a moment, then shouted. “Girls, get out of here!” He raced for the door and slammed it open, his daughters close behind. “Liana, go join your—AUGH!” He cried out when claws slashed his back and ripped through his shirt. Whipping around, he saw a ragged calico cat standing there, baring its teeth and lashing its tails. Snarling, it latched itself with its claws onto Cole’s back. Fiery pain coursed through his back —he screamed out loud. The cat dragged him backwards across the floor.
A glance told him that Zane was still wrestling with the other cat whilst Jay was busy exchanging blows with a dark, smoky gray feline with amber eyes. The cat dragging him back hissed and jammed its huge paws onto his throbbing back, making him cry out. Cole was shocked at how much the scratches stung; he felt as if fire had lashed into his body and was throbbing throughout him, every movement now a pain. He struggled under the weight of the giant cat, but he was helpless under its claws. The creature yowled, opened its fanged mouth, and lunged for Cole’s neck. Before it could grab it, however, something from behind smashed into the side of the cat’s head and sent him stumbling to the floor. Cole tottered to his feet to see Liana standing there, her trusty nunchucks thrust under her armpit. “Thanks.” He gasped. “No prob’.” Her face was set grimly. “We need to get out of here.” Cole whipped around, and spinning wildly in a Spinjitzu vortex, smashed into the side of the cat attacking Jay. The creature yowled and tripped over the couch, legs flailing. Jay jumped to his feet and shot a bolt of lightning at the cat wrestling with Zane. At the contact with the sparkling volts it screeched and let go of the nindroid, the fur on its pelt standing up. The cat was shocked into unconsciousness and fell to the floor. Jay looked at the defeated creature, then laughed out loud. “Ah-ha-ha-ha-haa! Look at it!” The electricity had caused every hair on the pelt of the cat to stand up in the air, from its cheeks to the tip of its two tails. With the fur sticking up, it looked like a giant puffball. The other cat growled warningly from the couch, and it teetered to its paws, glaring balefully at the group in the living area. “Run!” Zane ordered, and Jay, Cole, and Liana obeyed. The four of them dashed out of the hotel room, where several people were stepping out of their own apartments curiously. “What’s going on? What’s with all the noise?” One sleepy lady in a pink nightgown questioned.
