Alternate Miracle

Chapter 18 - The smell of danger

⚠️SWEARING⚠️

Taking some time to let the realization set in, he looked at her in utter confusion.

(b4 I continue, I realised that if garmadon is Lloyd's last name then what is garmadons? Quick Google search says they just don't have a last name but just imagine wu and garmadon do have garmadon as there last name)

Lloyd looked from his own number, to hers. To his and to hers.

"I- hmmm..." he said, scrunching his face in thought.

Leanne looked at him in anticipation, waiting and watching for the puzzle to click together.

There was silence for a moment, and her face fell.

"I can hear the cogs turning, but I think they're rusty! Hello?" She said tapping his shoulder.

"So you're...?" He ran his fingers along his own mark, and looked at her, hoping she would know what he meant and would finish the sentence for him.

"Finally! But yeah, about 50 years ago, I was in the exact same position as you." She fiddled with her fingers and looked down at the floor. "Exactly the same. I had a fight with some people, and landed up here. I survived, only because they realised I was not the right kind of person."

"Whoa, pause a sec. 'Some people'? 'Not the right kind of person'?? '50 YEARS AGO'?? You are wearing your age really well if your more than 50. If you were about my age when you were here, you would be about... Not gonna lie I really don't know how old I am" He shrugged defeatedly. "I could be anywhere from 12 to 21 honestly"

"Thank you for the compliment, but I am really old, probably coming to the end of my time even"

"How old? And what's your last name I never really caught it?" He asked tentatively, playing with his fingers now too.

"Leanne Garmadon. I'm around 1000 years old now."

"You wha-"

----the others----

Jay was moving across the street, as silent as he could, watching out for any infected that could be a threat later on.

He was always a man of the people, Jay was. As he wandered, his mind was with everyone but him. Worrying if Lloyd was okay, still alive even. Worrying about Nya, if she was trapped and needed help. Worrying about Kai, and his panic at the loss of his younger brother. He had heard him at night, doing anything but sleeping. Worrying about Cole, who, while the 'strongest' was having to hold back his emotions at everything going by, while trying to keep up as best as he could.

He had turned a corner, his hands in his pockets and hood down, when he was met with a hoard. He held down his scream and dashed back where he came as fast as he could.

Turning back and realising he could not outrun them, he darted into a shop and slammed the door as hard as he could. He twisted the lock as hard as he could, but his the lock came off in his shaky hands.

"DANG IT!" He threw his body at the door and pushed as hard as he could. He felt a slight pressure from the other side. They were trying to break open the door.

----Nya----
Earthquakes were appearing often, and everytime one happened, a building or two could be heard smashing to the ground in the distance.

"Houses most likely." She thought. "The place of imagination. Now just a pile of rubble." The earthquakes were not massively big, enough to take out the buildings where the supports were wearing away due to no humans to repair them. "I can't belive we're still here. 'The heroes' who stay behind and risk their lives for 'good'' She pushed the thought deep down, trying to stay positive.
