Lloyd POV
L- d...
Llo- d...
Lloyd...
LLOYD!
I gasp as my eyes shoot open to a dimly lit room. My head is pounding and my body feels bruised. Panic runs through me as I look around, not recognizing where I am. "Lloyd!" I can hear the voice call again, this time, though, the voice is right in front of me. Realization explodes into me and I turn my head to see Prince Kai sitting down with his hands behind his back.
After a moment of my eyes adjusting to the darkness, I can see that thick chains are clamped onto his wrists and ankles. I then look down at myself, only to see I'm in the same situation.
I look back up at the prince, and my immediate instinct is to see if he's injured. "Your highness! Are you okay?"
His breath shutters and nods. I can tell he's scared, really scared, but physically he looks okay. I wince when I try to move. I have a massive headache and my mind can't focus. My face scrunches up as I sit up and put my legs out in front of me. I look around and assess the situation.
The room we're in is small and made out of cold, stone walls. There is a single metal door on one of the walls that has a small square window made out of iron bars. There is a faint light shining down what I can only assume is a hallway. I can see the light moving, so I'm assuming it's either candlelit or torchlit.
I look back at Prince Kai to see he is still trembling slightly. "How long have you been up?" I ask him.
He shakes his head. "I don't know. I can't tell time down here, but it feels like it's been a while. Your head is bleeding— or, well, was bleeding."
"Well, that explains the pain—" I say. I can't focus on much of anything. My brain is all jumbled and my eyes can't focus. I feel so tired... NO. No sleeping. Prince Kai needs me.
"Are you okay?" He asks me. I blink a couple times, processing his question.
"I will be once I find out what the hell is going on." I finally say. I try to stand but the chains aren't giving me much room to maneuver, so I resort to crawling over to the door and attempting to get myself close to the window. Kneeling is the closest I can get to it, so I kneel down and extend myself towards the door and put my ear up against it. I listen for any movement behind it. There's a chance that there are guards posted outside.
I close my eyes to concentrate but no noises from any sort of movement comes. I could try and call out for someone right now and someone would eventually come running, hopefully giving us answers, but that would normally be something I would do if I were alone or at least with one of my teammates. The truth is, this situation is far more dire than any ordinary kidnapping. Not only do I have another person with me who isn't a ninja, but that person just so happens to be apart of one of the most important monarchs in Ninjago.
