Destined Love (Lloyd Garmadon x OC)

Chapter 6: Separated

Nothing to say, so let's go right into the chapter!

-------------------------------------------------------

Lloyd hated leaving Olivia in a fragile state, but the others had come to get him so they could sit in on Sensei Garmadon's lesson. As they walked, Cole, Jay, and Kai looked at each other and smirked.

"So Lloyd, it looks like you and Olivia are getting pretty close," Cole said, nudging Lloyd as they walked. Lloyd froze and blushed.

"You saw that?" He exclaimed. The guys nodded, each with a smirk on their face. Lloyd could feel his face getting hotter. "W-why are you guys smirking?" Jay started giggling.

"Because you like her, don't deny it!" He exclaimed as they walked. Lloyd paused but then quickly regained his train of thought.

"Well, of course, I like her, but not the way you're thinking!" Lloyd replied, his face now a deep shade of red. Jay, Cole, and Kai burst out laughing.

"Sure, you don't. And Jay's mom doesn't have to remind him to pack extra underwear," Cole replied. Jay flushed.

"Are you guys ever going to drop that?" He asked as they entered the dojo. The Ninja laughed as they entered and took their seats near Nya. Now, all they had to do was wait for Sensei Garmadon to enter and begin the lesson. Olivia was lost in her thoughts while she brushed her hair. She had cried on Lloyd's shoulder, showed him a picture of her mom, and he had complimented her freckles. Olivia looked at her reflection in the mirror.

'The freckles really compliment your eyes.' Lloyd's words ran through her head again. Olivia ran her fingers over her freckles as if she was admiring them. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them.

"They're not going to disappear, you know," Anne said from behind. Olivia turned to face Anne. "Are you not going to cover them?" Olivia thought for a minute and looked at her reflection again.

"No, I think I wanna keep them uncovered. And I think I want to tell him," she responded. Anne snapped her head up from the bed.

"What? Are you nuts? Why do you want to tell him about that?" she asked. Olivia moved to sit next to Anne on the bed. "Your mom's book said not to tell anyone," she said.

"I know, I know. I don't think now is the right time to tell him, but I think I need to. After all, I never use my..." Olivia paused for a brief moment. She got up and went to check the door. Once she was satisfied that no one other than Anne would hear her, she continued. "After all, I never use my powers, so there is no real harm in him knowing." Anne sighed and put her fingers to her head.

"But why Lloyd? Other than me, you've never told anyone else, not even your dad! And Lloyd's a ninja! Telling him could put you in more danger!" Anne said, her voice raised slightly. Olivia nodded, agreeing with Anne's statement. Anne was bringing up some good points. "But, it's not really up to me, now is it? Whatever you want to do, I'll support you. It is your power, after all, not mine," Anne said, hugging Olivia from the side. Olivia looked at Anne suspiciously.

"Why did you say all that if you were going to support whatever decision I make? It seems pointless," Olivia said. Anne released Olivia from the hug and squared her shoulders so that she could look directly into Olivia's eyes.

"Because I want you to have really thought through all the pros and cons of telling Lloyd about your power. Your power is strong, and you need to be careful about who you choose to tell, if you tell anyone at all," Anne said. She paused, letting Olivia soak in her words. "I care about you, Liv, and I don't want to see you get hurt because you jumped in without thinking through everything." Olivia focused on those words. She knew that she would have to think it over. It seemed like the right thing to do. As they walked, they bumped into the Ninja as they entered the dojo.
