Silver (A Ninjago Maximum Ride Crossover)

Chapter 40: A Nightmare

'Silver's POV'

"Kadence!" An awful nightmare wakes me from my sleep. I sit up in my sleeping bag and wrap my arms around my legs, which are pressed to my chest. I begin to cry into my knees

Lilian sits up, wraps her arms around me and begins to pet my hair.

I've been having these awful dreams since Kadence was admitted into the hospital. Lilian is the only one I've told about them

"It was only a dream. He's safe, it's going to be okay..." She whispers things like this to me until I calm myself down enough to talk

"I want to go see him..." I need to know that he's alright

"Okay, let's go tell Sensei." She stands up and takes my hand, pulling me up with her

We wake my father up and tell him we're leaving to go see Kadence

He gives us permission and we grab sweaters before rushing to the hospital.

I stare at the pale face of my sleeping child. Lilian stands beside me

"Kadence..." I touch his cheek and let a tear slip down my cheek

"He's going to be okay." Lilian says in a soft voice and wraps her arm around my shoulders. I nod.

His eyes flutter open

"Mommy..." He reaches a weak hand up to touch my hand that was resting on his cheek

"Hey, Kadence..." I've been visiting him more often at night, and he's beginning to understand why

"I'm okay, mom..." His voice sounds sleepy, and he yawns at the end of his sentence

"I know..." But I don't know for how long-

The door to the room falls to the ground and many armed white coats enter the room

"Don't move!" One shouts, but it's too late, I've already moved to put myself in front of Kadence

"I said don't move! I will shoot!" The same one yells and points his gun directly at my head

"The police are on their way..." The nurse who was standing behind the medical bed moves slightly to whisper into my ear. In the next moment, a gun is shot and she drops to the ground.

Lilian flinches at the sound. The police are on their way, so all I have to do is stall them...

They wouldn't shoot me... I stand up straighter and cross my arms

"Where's Vanessa?" I ask, looking at the one who told us not to move and threatened to shoot me

"Don't worry Silver, I'm right here." She steps into the front of the crowd, smirking, of course.

I sigh "so I guess we're going to play our usual game; you capture me, torture me, threaten to kill me, then I escape?" I smile as the smirk drops from her face

"You really think we're going to let you escape again?" She asks

"Well, yeah, I've escaped how many times now? I think I could do it again." My smile twists into a smirk

"We've got the building surrounded, come out with your hands up!"

Finally, they're here...

I hear a slight growl escape Vanessa's mouth

"Grab the boy and the lion mutant!" She flees the scene as chaos breaks out.
