The Locket Of Foresight

Chapter 7

Lloyd POV

Henry and the others led us to a village on the outskirts of Ninjago City. I dropped off my dragon, then helped Beckett down. Henry just watched, obviously amused.
"Where are we?" Beckett asked.
Henry gestured his hand to the village. "Welcome... to Engaño Town!"
Beckett and I shared a look of surprise. One of the boys slipped up next to me. "I'm Annie," he said with a smile on his face. "This is where the remains of the Engaño clan lives. My siblings and I aren't directly related to the main family, but we can still handle the lockets."
The girl sibling walked up next to Beckett. "Henry has one because he's the oldest. We might get one later. I'm Layla, by the way."
"Layla! Annie! Go on home, I'll take care of these two and make sure they get what they came for."
"We didn't come for anything," Beckett argued.
"Oh yeah?" Henry got closer to Beckett, challenging him this time. "What's with the locket, then?"
"What?"
"You're obviously one of us," Henry scoffed. "So who're you looking for?"
"Oh. My parents."
Henry thought for a moment. "I don't think we had any Becketts."
"My name must've changed when I got taken by Atikin," Beckett explained.
"Atikin?" Henry's eyes became alert. "Oh, you're ese chico? Dang."
Beckett raised an eyebrow. "What?"
"C'mon, we're gonna go to Aunty Sarah's."

Henry took us to his aunt's house (presumably) and dragged our wrists through the door. "Aunty Sarah!"
A woman came into the kitchen, where Henry had taken us, and stared at Beckett and I. "Who they?" She asked in broken English.
"Beckett and Lloyd. Beckett was taken by Atikin."
"Atikin? Oh, this must be sister's child. Yes..." Sarah took out a map. "Here, my sister live here."
Beckett took the map and patted Sarah on the shoulder. "Thank you, Aunty Sarah."
"My pleasures, nephew."
Beckett put the map into his pocket. "Well, then."
Right before we left, Henry pulled me aside. "Listen, Lloyd." His eyes flicked up and down, presumably sizing me up. "I dunno what you and Beckett are, but here's my number." He gave me a slip of paper and slipped away, leaving me confused and a little... flustered? So he wasn't sizing me up...
"Lloyd! You coming?"
"Yeah, just a minute."

The sun had risen, and we had finally landed at Beckett's parents' house. Taking a deep breath, Beckett knocked on the door. We waited for a couple seconds, before a man opened it.
"Who are you?"
Beckett reached out his hand. "I'm..." he unfolded his hand to show the locket. "Your son."

PS: I'm gonna be taking a break for a while (so sorry to leave you on a big cliffhanger) because I have a really huge project I want to focus on.
