Brave

Chapter Three

Today was the first day of class, but it thankfully wasn't mandatory. It was just a day to get used to the building. Lloyd and Morro weren't going.

After everybody had left, Lloyd and Morro grew bored quickly. Morro had closed the blinds on the windows and pulled the curtains, so they were safe at least. The brothers joked around for a bit, messing around, until they heard a knock at the door.

Morro's head shot up. He looked through the peephole and saw a man he didn't know with a badge. Immediately he strapped his brother's wings and tail down and had Lloyd do his own.

"Lloyd, hide in Kai's room. I'm going to take care of this. Don't come out until they get back!"

Lloyd hugged his brother before hurrying into his room. Morro took a breath and checked that nothing was poking out before opening the door. Maybe the officers would forget how his face looked from the other day.

"Sir, I am required to know your full name."

"Morro Garmadon. Why are you here? Is something wrong?"

"Rumors are that the hybrid brothers are hiding in the school. We are required to search the area."

"No! You can't do that!" Morro quickly said. Shoot I need an excuse!

"And why not?" The officer turned to him.

As Morro quickly tried to think of an excuse the rushed bandages tore slightly, and his wing slipped out into view. The man noticed and lunged for his wrist.

Morro blasted him with wind, knocking him against the wall. Jumping forward, the man pulled out metal straps and threw Morro to the ground. He kept struggling and clawing at the man. He noticed the other man had blood running down his arm. Good.

Morro threw the older man off of him with an explosion of wind and braced for battle. He shot a gust of wind at him to push him back but he ducked around it and grabbed Morro's arm, throwing him to the ground again.

His opponent strapped his wings and chained his wrists together. Morro angrily shouted threats.

"Where's your brother?"

"I left him."

"The public saw how protective you were over him in the alley. There's no way you just left him."

"He almost got me caught didn't he? He can't fight. I was going to run with him but he slowed me down, so I flew off. I don't know where he is." Morro hated saying these horrible things, but he had to keep Lloyd safe.

The man grabbed his chains and forced him upwards. Morro growled but couldn't fight back.

The man pressed a button on his wristband and spoke, "I got the older one. He claims he abandoned the small one. I'll bring him to camp now."

Morro remembered the camp from the small bit of information he got from his mother. He couldn't go there!

He tried lashing out, he tried to expand his wings and knock the man back. He couldn't, there was a metal band around them. The man only laughed at his futile attempts and forced him out of the dorm. Once outside he was shoved into a car and knocked out.

"Jay, I swear if you say that one more time I'll-"

"You'll what, Kai?" Jay challenged.

"Alright break it up! Jay, quit being annoying." Cole said.

"I'm not annoying!"

Nya patted him on the back. "Sometimes you can be."
