The Truth: A Ninjago story

Harumi & Lloyd

Part 7: Denial & Anger

(Lloyd)

A blood-curdling scream can from the direction of the lift making people turn as I ran, something in my heart told me that was Harumi in anguish; But what I saw wasn't something of physical pain but more emotional. She sat crying on her knees rocking back and forth almost trying to cradle the body from the grown buried beneath her. "Harumi?" her eyes a deep red from crying peered at me with Anger "that's her name" looking at the smaller gave stone before us I saw the name 'Harumi Jade' she sat crying in the arms of a grave grieving the death of a little girl she loved. "I thoughh she was alive for long, I thought she was alive" over and over again she said, "I thought she was alive". She had been in denial for over seven years of a death that she witnessed when she couldn't have been more than 14. Gut-wrenching soft screams came from her mouth as she laid down like she was saying "leave me her to die" knowing her body wouldn't let her die even if she starved herself I picked her up and "leave me...let me die with her" she screamed "I want to die with her, let me be" fighting me trying to roll out of me arms "please let me die" ardently dropping her she crawled her way back to the grave not letting go of it "she's my daughter, please let me die with her" her word shocked me but I could help to want to save her now "please" she begged me as I approached her, the softness of her eyes made my heart beg my brain to die with her "I can't" using our connection I put her to sleep but not after she said "you bastard"

bargaining & depression

"Please...you have the power" every time I came into this room she begged me to kill her "you don't know what it's like remebering a living with it" I was getting tired of it. She had been begging even since she woke back in the Monastery, each day Wu and my mother visited her trying to bring life back into her which only seem to happen when vania arrived, in turn, she turned to anger throwing things until vania went. "But I do" "No you don't, you never had a child" her sweet begging voice turned to venom whenever we talked of Harumi I couldn't even address her by that name it was marigold now. "There's a dinner tonigh going on in which I think it would be good for you" she needed a pull back to reality so when nya and kai's parents showed up it was the perfect reason to bring her out of the room. "No, thank you" "it wasn't a request" "what are you going to do carry out, sit me in a chair and tie me to it," she said daringly "If it comes to that" but I was serious "now pixal picked this out and you will behave" another thing is that she was more prone to listening to me after I have been in her head "fine" "and take a shower" "fine" "do your hair" "fine" "no, arguing" "fine, will you get out now"

(Harumi)

Lloyd was sweet in trying to care for me but you can't save the dead.

I did as he instructed wishing that the world around me could kill me but the only thing that can kill me is walking, breathing, and taking care of me, refusing to grant me my heart's desire. Though my blood boiled at the sight of vania I sat down at the end watching everyone else passing the food or talking outrageously loud about some challenge "so mom is there a reason why you have visited us?" Nya always got a little bitter when her mother showed up unannounced "well dear me and your father heard about your impromptu wedding and come say congratulation" her smile annoyed me as I knew it annoyed nya "that is very kind of you mia, we are sorry that you did get to come as you said it was impromptu" Jay's hand slipped under Nya's as if to say it's an okay babe "thank you mother" "so what the new mission?" the topic changed just like that "oh the boys got changed into ghost after touching a gem...that they where't suppose to" it was now skylor turn to be bitter as she spat venom at kai "why are you looking at me? I didn't do it" "well someone must have and I really dout that jay is that dumn so it holds an argument that you did to show off" "guys" nya yelled bring kai and skylor back "don't mind them they have been fighting ever sense before the wedding" "I don't know why, especially because they have been sleeping together" I might have ment it to be a mutter to myself but everyone heard it and now all eyes where on Nya "What?" skylor looked like a mouse trapped by a cat and kai didn't even look up from his plate "I wh I ummm" Skylor's mouth moved but no sound came out "how long?" "ever sense the wedding" now the table was quiet as a mouse "you where fuckinh my brother while I was getting married" Nya's voice squeaked because she yelled so loud "I had gone out with friend's and he was just there" "eww.. Pity sex" "it's not, okay.. I don't what happened but he came to me" "kai?" kai's face didn't say anything but leave me out of this "why didn't you just tell me" "beacuse there was a lot going on" "a lot going on? Really, what if you had gotten pregnent? Would you have told me them?" pregnant "first of all I am not that stupid. Second of all, I was going to tell you" "really when...when I walk in on you two" "I am sorry okay" "you should be I basically brought you to together" "you did not" "yes I did" "how" pregnant...baby "well my brother is an idiot so he would have just let you go if I didn't push him to" "I am pretty sure that wasn't working until vania showed him that song and I yelled at him because of his stupid hair" Pregnant...baby...child "you like his stupid hair probomle to run your fingers through it" "no, there to much product" Pregnant...baby...child...gun "really" "fine, I lied" "why didn't you just tell me?" "why are mad about it?" "guys?" "beasue your my best friend I don't really care if you hurt him" "guys?" "but I care if he hurts you" "ouch" "guys?" "I can lose you but stuck with him for life" "guys" "what, kai?" "maybe now that your conversion has desculated you can stop using your powers"
