~Chapter 1~ Stressing over nothing?

  Lloyd was walking down the street when he heard little noises behind him. He quickened his pace to get back to Dareth's mojo dojo where his uncle and friends were. They would keep him safe even if he was the green ninja he still got scared, especially after having gotten possessed by Morro only a few months ago.

The noises didn't recede even if they sounded fainter Lloyd could tell they were still following him. Lloyd still hoped it was raccoons or a puppy following him, the hope dwindled more and more. The streets of Ninjago were freaking him out as cars passed by and the steps behind him followed further the more he walked the more he worried something bad would happen.

It stopped, altogether the steps died into silence and Lloyd was left heavily breathing and a block away from home. 'Home' he thought 'I want a true home, not a run down training place'.

Lloyd walked through the door after having unlocked it and walked straight to his room- well shared room. He shared his room with Zane, Lloyd found it funny the blondes were paired together for a room. He didn't tell anyone what happened on his way back though.

Mainly because no one asked, or cared for that matter. They all thought he was brave, and he was when he wasn't panicking or breaking down or angry although the anger did carry him on some days. But in their eyes nothing was wrong but everything was in actuality.

He went to get dressed and ready for bed when he heard Kai and Cole yelling about who won the video game but then sensei Wu went and unplugged the tv from what it sounded like. Since even Jay got mad that he didn't get to play next.

Lloyd smirked and shook his head at them. He walked into the bathroom too wash his face and teeth and ended up staring into his eyes for a good ten minutes until he snapped out of it when the clock did a little chime to signify that a full hour had passed again.

He saw that the clock read 11:00 at night so he finished up what he was doing, walked back into his room and layed in bed for sleep to overtake him. It was 12:00 am and he still wasn't asleep, he was thinking about what the noise could've been on his way back to the monastery.

Lloyd finally clocked out though and when he awoke his neck was in pain and he knew he slept on it wrong. 'great! A hurting neck to go along with the headache that was starting to make itself more apparent' Lloyd thought to himself as he stood up and stretched to the floor then twisted his body to the side both left and right.

Then Lloyd moved one leg outwards and leaned on it stretching his thighs and other muscles, and also did so with his other leg. He reached up to the ceiling, and rolled his neck around.

Lloyd knew he shouldn't wake up at 5:00 each morning he also knew he should drink more water rather then less then two cups a day. That's why he had headaches and spots clouding his vision every other day

It's been that way since Morro stopped possessing his body, not eating enough, forgetting to eat since his body got used to not eating for days on end, not drinking water unless Morro got out of his body which was rare. Meaning he forgot he could do those things of his own accord.

Zane walked into the room and smiled at him "good morning Lloyd, I made breakfast if you want some. It's waffles with snowflake imprints!" The nindroid said with enthusiasm. "Thank you Zane maybe I'll have one soon, can you put it on my plate for me?" Lloyd replied with much less enthusiasm as the older had used.

A hint of a smile playing at the corners of Lloyds lips as Zane agreed to doing so and left the room. Lloyd sighed quietly but at the same time loudly. Lloyd smelled eggs and bacon and the smell of batter for the waffles and it tempted him enough to get up and exit into the hallway and into the kitchen.

As Lloyd entered the room the light from between the blinds on the window shined straight into his eyes and his hair shone golden. He blinked a few times to get used to the light and walked over to take a seat at the center island table. Today was like most other days, wake up late but early enough to get a face full of sunshine, even in winter it was bright in the morning for some reason. Lloyd sighed again as he slumped in his chair at the table placing his head on the table awkwardly.

Zane was standing at the stove finishing the bacon and fishing it out of the pan carefully as to not get burned. 'Ah silly nindroids' thought Lloyd, Zane then brought a plate over to Lloyd and Zane lifted an eyebrow at Lloyd's droopy state. He obviously didn't question it though since he was still a teenager.

It was only four days from New Year's Eve and lots of things weren't going that well for Lloyd. The whole year really didn't go that well but that's to be expected as the green ninja isn't it? Lloyd picked up his fork and stabbed at the blue tinted waffles and ate in silence.

Just as he was finishing up his food Kai walked in and yawned over-exaggeratedly and went to the fridge and realized there was already food made on the countertop. Zane was over there as well and picked up a waffle for Kai and gave it to him, he then walked back out of the kitchen while eating the waffle in his hands.

What Kai didn't know is that Zane put a little something extra into that waffle for revenge on Kai for having broken a favorite souvenir from one of his adventures to a far away land that he never talked about. Kai felt a grumbling in his stomach and his mouth was starting to feel like it was on fire. The fire ninja then burps and spews out fire from his mouth.

Lloyd was concerned as to what happened out where Kai was but what was more concerning was that Zane couldn't stop laughing all the while following behind Kai to watch what happened. Lloyd went back to eating.

After awhile Lloyd then got up to put the plate in the sink and walked over to the training area and pressed the button to start the session. A large sharp metal blade immediately shot up and aimed straight for Lloyd, Lloyd dodged as quick as he could but his leg got a little gash in it.

Lloyd didn't realize that as he kept dodging sharp targets and punching flying targets, kicking spinning targets, and in all trying not to die in the process. As he was mid air a feeling of being watched appeared, his skin prickled as he heard whispering.

Hushed whispering started up and it got louder and louder until he couldn't bear it any longer and his ears felt like bursting and it angered him that he couldn't understand what was being said. A loud WHOOMF was then heard off to Lloyds left and he looked to where it came from, it was Cole, thank the maker!

Cole walked straight over to Lloyd and put his fists up "hey! I see your training and I wanna get some action too! Practice with me and not those dumb pieces of wood, it would do us both good please." It was slightly surprising seeing that Cole barely ever asks to train but Lloyd wouldn't give up the chance at having a fun sparring partner. Lloyd then replies with a quite simple sure and they get to fighting right off the bat.

They fought together for a good twenty seven minutes until they took a break and complimented each-others skills and gave feedback on what the other could do better or saying where within the moves the other was sloppy at performing. It was pretty relaxing to just hangout like this for Lloyd, it got the worries and such off his mind.
