The Story Of Evil (Ninjago Fanfiction Book 2)

Chapter 11

Sometimes, knowing the right thing to do can be hard. There are many possibilities in which a person can take to get a number of different results.

Yet...Lloyd's mind still wandered to that horrible possibility.

The possibility of him having to kill Sophie.

Lloyd shakes his head, trying to get his mind to think of something else...

...yet...isn't the easiest option to kill the person who wants to end the world?

But who even said that they want to end the world?

His mind continues to battle itself, throwing argument against argument. Lloyd rubs his temples, getting a headache from all the crazy thinking.

"Ughhhh," Lloyd mummers, fed up with his brain.

"What's wrong blondie?" Cole asks, raising an eyebrow. "My brain is being a jerk," Lloyd answers, sighing and letting his hands fall back.

"How is it possible for your brain to be a jerk? It is not a person or anyone who could be classified as a jerk," Zane questions. Cole and Lloyd chuckle. Which then leads to Nya, Kai and Jay chuckling as well.

"He's probably referring to the fact that you're brain makes you think of really dark and sad things that really ruin your mood," Jay explains.

"Yeah..and the fact that my brain is making me think of stuff I don't wanna think about," Lloyd adds.

"Oh, what was your brain making you think?" Zane asks, now understanding.

Lloyd goes silent, fixing his gaze on the ground and focusing on walking. "Lloyd? You good?" Kai asks, looking concerned.

"Fine...fine...just, not pleasant thoughts," Lloyd answers.

"Is it about the possibility that you might have to kill Sophie?" Cole guesses.

Lloyd goes silent again, not wanting to think about it.

"Knew it," Cole mumbles, looking gloomy as well. "Argh, this is why my brain is being a jerk!" Lloyd sighs, frustrated. "It will be okay, no need to worry," Zane tries to reassure the golden-haired boy.

"We're all worried," Nya says, running a hand through her hair. "And scared, definitely scared," Jay adds.

"But more worried if anything," Kai inputs. "So, you aren't alone," Cole points out.

"You guys are awesome," Lloyd smiles softly.

"Pfft. We know we are," Kai laughs. "Yeah, tell us something we don't know," Cole adds. "Hehe, they both have a point," Jay agrees. "We are awesome!" Zane exclaims. "Yeah! We're awesome and we know it," Nya dances for a second. They all couldn't help but laugh for a bit. Wu and Misako smiling, while looking over them.

"Let's try and make it to that mountain before nightfall," Wu points straight ahead at a mountain that looked quite far away.

"Whaaaaat? That's so far!" Jay brings up. "But I can totally reach there before boulder brain," Jay adds. "You wish," Cole playfully punches Jay.

(Flash back time! Italics won't work for some reason so yeah)

Lloyd leaned on the red bar around the Bounty. The soft breeze blowed on his face, he sighed.

There are so many things on his mind. Yet, not enough peace to settle his nerves.

Lloyd stared up at the stars, each one of them shined so bright that he felt as if he could see each and every one of them. "It's like all those stars represent all the thoughts and worries in my mind," Lloyd mumbled to himself.

"I sure do miss you dad," Lloyd reached out to the stars. A sad look on his face as he put his hand back down.

"I caused my dad's death.." Lloyd's voice trailed off. A few tears fell from his eyes. He quickly wiped them away.

"Please...don't let me cause another death," Lloyd looked up at the sky again, a pleading look on his face. He closed his eyes and brought his head down.

"Please...I don't want to kill..." he whispered.

A few minutes later, Lloyd heard footsteps behind him. He turned around, to see his cousin. "Hey Soph..shouldn't you be asleep?" Lloyd asked, turning back around.

"I have something important to tell you," Sophie answered, joining him on leaning on the red bar.

"Sure, what is it?" Lloyd asked, looking over at her. Sophie stared straight ahead, then went back to a standing position with her hands firmly placed on the bar. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Lloyd looked questioningly at her, not sure of what was about to be said.

"If...it ever comes to the point where I am unable to keep myself in check...and I'm causing trouble.." Sophie paused a moment. Lloyd's eyes widened.

Sophie turns to him, her green eyes looking right at his green eyes.

"I want you to kill me if it comes to that."

(Flash back ends!)

"Are you DONE with your MARSHMALLOW yet?!" Alter glares at Acheron.

"Yes. I AM done," Acheron sticks out his tongue. Alter sticks her's out in return.

They both look at each other and start to laugh. "Oh, am I glad to have a grandniece like you," Acheron smiles a little.

"I guess I'm glad to have a grand uncle like you too," Alter shrugs, smiling a little.

"Now then, I'll tell you about Glara.

She's the Overlord's wife and they both had their love life going on long before they got married. I'll admit it, she had the looks. But that's besides the point.

Anywho, Glara, is your grandmother and would seriously love to hug you and give you everything that you want. She actually disappeared one day and Overlord found some evidence that pointed to the fact that she was dead," Acheron looks grim, a sad look in his eyes.

"You don't have to continue if it's painful," Alter starts, reaching out for his hand. She grabs it, and his hand is surprisingly soft yet rough.

Acheron covers his eyes with his other hand and his back moves as if he was crying.

"It's okay to cry...you've been trying not to this whole time...just let it out," Alter puts her other hand on his.

"I'm here for you."
