The Truth: A Ninjago story

Harumi & Lloyd

Part 6: she's just...

(Harumi)

"You conniving backstabbing bitch" this was the first thing I said when I saw her "you promised not to let anyone into my head" anger and fear rose in my blood as I skipped from my bed to get her "Now Harmui you were..." "I don't care" yelled I toppled her, rolling in the hallways "you are a cold heartless backstabbing bitch" Nya and skylor pulled me back from punching vania "how could you?" tangled in their arms I tried to get to her "Lloyd do something" nya yelled in the background "I trusted you and you let them creep in my mind" a warm hand touched my shoulder and my powers went to work "how could you?" the emotions slipped as I fell back into a blank sleep.

I was shocked by what I had been woken to, and yet it didn't surprise me.

Vania was fine except for the black bruise around her eye. "you okay?" Vania sat next to my bedroom door "yeah I just wanted to um..." she stood and waited for me to open my door "I'm leaving" she almost had to spit it out with how nervous she was "why" "well um... I thought, well i thought you are going to tell the team about... me" oh that "vania, why didn't go to the police once you remembered?" her eyes went to the floor searching for an answer "when i remembered i was so tramatised by what I had done that I didn't react but then when I told harumi, she looked and said you not a muder...becuase my head was so fuzzy I didn't remember it all but then I did and she told No you are not a muder" crystal tears slowly started to fall "I wanted to go but she always said 'you are not a muder, von" they flew more violently "vania? What did happen that night?" she looked up in pain "I don't remember all of it... all I remember is running to the balcony, she was there coming over the railing we went an embrace but she dobbled over like someone stabbed her in the stumic when I pulled out of the embrace. My hand was covered in her blood an arrow..." laying her head on my bed she let the tears sep back into her eyes and whipped away the ones that had rolled "anyways I wanted to tell you that...I need you to look after harumi" her smile was filled with pain as she gave me a small ring "It's her moms, I was going to give to her on wedding day but I can't now" "why?" "I am..going to the police station" her eyes graced the floors as she wouldn't look at me and started to walk out the door "I don't think you should" swinging around she looked shocked "what...why?" "beacus harumi is right your not a muder" "but you saw..." "I don't know what I saw and you don't remember what you saw or did and I think you know what...that's what stops you" she looked torn between relief and guilt but I knew that I was right and she did too "you know it's funny...you sounded like harumi when you said that" I could almost hear the smile of relief as she turned and walked out but not before grabbing the ring from my hands.

Blank mind as you stare into oblivion has been my mind ever since I woke up. The most I have done is rolled over to face the window when they have come in either to eat or talk, But I can't my brain was paralyzed by fear and sadness of memories. Why did Lloyd have to save me? Why did he save me? A tear escaped the corner of my eye reaching down to the pillow as I just stared into nothingness "harumi you have go to say something at sometime" pixel's voice pleaded with me as she set down a cup of broth "look one way or another you are going to heal because that is what your body does" I could hear her and knew what she said to be true; My body wouldn't let me die no matter how bad my mind wanted it. Her voice faded like the sounds of the road outside "where are we?" pixel was surprised at my words as she came around to face me "it a very nice little town called Jela" the name struck me at once from my childhood "We're in Jala!" pixel was surprised at the tone of voice "Tell me who's house are we in? Tell me" pixel was frightened by know because of the way I shook her shoulder but I had to know... I needed to know. "A woman... a woman by the name of faith" pixal's brain was a skater with what I was asking but mine was not, using my powers I knotted her out. As I passed through the house and out unto the street I only said one thing "I need to see her...I need to see her"
