Finding the Truth

Chapter.10

Lloyds' POV-

All of this is stressing me out. I've never seen Jay so serious and authoritative, it's strange. Ever since I was a kid before the ~ Tomorrow's Tea~ incident, I only really saw him as a jokester and funny guy, never one to really take things so seriously. He honestly just confuses me, and all I can really do right now is listen and follow. 

Although, I can somehow relate to what's going on with him. My parents left me at a young too, but mine came back and his never did...

I was snapped out of my thoughts by the blue ninja himself letting us know we were finally at our destination. I still can't get over the fact that his biological father is Cliff Gordan! The Cliff Gordan! The guy who played Fritts Donegan! (Idk is I spelled it correctly) He was the main character in my favorite comic book/movie series!

We landed outside of the estate and let our dragons dissolve as we jumped off and stood in front of large gates with big yellow stars on them. Wow.

"Ok, when we go inside just look around for anything on my birth parents. Please don't touch much of anything. It's hard enough coming back here." Jay said looking back at us with pleading eyes, to which we responded with nods and smiles of reassurance.

He opened the gates and walked up the stane path with us in tow. I couldn't help but look around in awe at the large trees towering over us as we walk. This is so cool! I'm so ready to look at everything inside, just the thought of it brings a smile to my face!

Once we stopped at the front door I could definitely tell how hesitant Jay was getting, he was trying to take deep breaths to calm himself down, but they weren't really working. Nya placed a comforting hand on his shoulder which seemed to help with his nerves a bit. He reached in his pocket to pull out the key and slowly brought it up to the keyhole, but suddenly stopped-

"Lloyd," He said turning to look at,e with a stern expression to which I hummed in response telling him to continue " I'm being serious when I say don't touch anything. Got it?"

Just the tone in his voice kinda scared me and personally I don't feel like making Jay upset right now so "Got it" I responded with a nervous smile and a thumbs up.

Nyas' POV:

After Jay finished talking to Lloyd he turned back to the front door. Taking one last deep breath he inserted the key into the lock and turned till he heard a 'Click', he pushed the door open to reveal- Damn I almost forgot how big this house.

I look around in awe at the beautiful home walking after Jay with everyone else hot on our heels eager to see more of the large villa. I'm not gonna lie when I saw the other expressions to the beautiful home  I had to suppress a laugh, but when I looked over at Jay all I could see was an unreadable expression. Sorta like a mixture of emotions. Sadness, fear, and... anger? Probably because of his parents I'm guessing, but at this point, I'm not really sure. I was gonna ask him about it but was cut off by the blue ninja himself.

"Before we-... look around I just um... wanna check on something," He said walking towards the living room I think, if I remember correctly from last time I was here. It's been a while. I followed him with the other right behind me as we walked into the room Jay had, and found him looking for something among the trophies.

Jay kept mumbling to himself what sounded like 'which one was it?'  and  ' come on'. What does he mean by 'which one was it'? and what the heck is 'it'?

He tilted each trophy until he came to the last one on the end. Somehow tilting that one triggered the wall next to it to move revealing a secret room. This certainly shocked me and assumably all of us. Jay had a genuine smile on his face before he entered the hidden room and leaving my sight. I stood stiff along with everyone else as we try and comprehend what the heck just happened.
