Guilty Escape

Captives

I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the ceiling of a pure black cage. I blinked twice and slowly sat up, shaking my head.

"You are awake!" A woman's voice shouted. I blinked twice and turned to see a girl with blonde hair that went to her waist. Her eyes sparkled with the power of ice. She wore a long sleeved shirt colored pure white. She also wore a short skirt, the same color, which was designed with snowflakes. Her boots went to her knees.

"Glad to hear…" I heard a man say and I glanced past the girl to see him.

He had short blond hair that swayed somewhat in his emerald eyes. He wore a pure gold ninja suit with green outlines.

I stood, with help from the woman, and walked to the edge of the cage. I turned to them and stared at them. I blinked twice and sighed.

"I am guessing that you are both Frost's parents." I said as I stared at their shocked faces. They nodded.

"I am Asuna S. Garmadon." The girl said with a bow.

"And, I and am Lloyd M. Garmadon." He said with a similar bow. I nodded.

"I am Milla Z. Schnieder." I responded with a curtsy. "Oh, that is spelt I E, not E I. Cannot stress that enough."

They nodded with a slight laugh. Asuna shook her head.

"You said you know Frost?"

"Hm. Where do I begin? I found him after the attack on your house. Ever since I traveled with him to rescue you guys. He is really dedicated. At… I think it was February… We reached the Birch Wood Forest and stopped at a cliff…" I noticed their faces grow pale. "That was when I was taken by darkness."

They looked to each other. "That was a year ago." Lloyd said as he stared at my eyes.

"I have been out for a year?" I exclaimed, earning nods from them.

"Milla, do you know… what happened to Frost…?" Asuna whispered sadly. I caught the sense that she knew my feelings for her son. I shook my head. Lloyd told me.

"Milla… Frost is… dead…"

A bomb blew apart my heart. My eyes widened and I fell to my knees.

"…No…" I whispered.

"And… what of my parents…?" I whispered to them, looking at their faces.

"They… are too…" I shook my head. "No… I-It cannot be…"

"It is…" A voice said. Lloyd and Asuna perked. "We all saw it happen…"

"Kai?" Lloyd asked as he ran to the edge of the cage.

A man ran to the edge of the cage, he was on the outside. He had brown hair that was spiked. He was rather skinny, yet muscular. His amber eyes had fire dancing in them.

"Hey Lloyd." Another voice came. I turned to see two other men standing near the shadows, walking out into the light.

One of them had raven hair, coffee eyes and was very muscular. The other one had emerald eyes, was skinnier than the other two, and had brunette hair.

"Cole! Jay!" Asuna shouted. "What are you two doing here?"

"When the monsters came, on that day, the huge dragon you call Guilt came and snatched us." Kai answered. He walked to the cage's lock and stared at it.

"Cole, could you break this?" Jay asked, examining it.

"No… but someone could pick it."

"Zane, give me the paper clip." Kai said. He bit his lip and clenched his hands. "Sorry…I guess it's still a force of habit..." Asuna reached up to her hair and pulled out a hairpin. Kai stuck his tongue out as he focused on the lock.

"Oh, you are not taking my sweetheart, are you?" Came a taunting voice. All our heads flew to Guilt as he shimmered into view within the cage. He slowly walked towards Lloyd, Asuna and I. I watched as he walked past Frost's parents and to me. He knelt in front of me and placed a hand on m shoulder. My mind, for what ever reason, switched to Frost. I quickly swat away his hand.

"Don't touch me, murderer." I snarled to him.

"Oh, am I?" He replied. "I did not touch anyone."

"If you didn't who did?" Asuna snapped, and I saw Lloyd grab her wrist before she ran up to Guilt.

"That idiotic Sensei you call Wu."

"What?" Both Asuna and Lloyd gasped. The ninja stared in awe.

"Wu wasn't seen since he killed Zane." Kai growled.

"Exactly. He was with me, creating those monsters that infest Ninjago with the guilt you and the Ninja felt for Zane." We all gasped, and Guilt laughed. "Yup, the score is me none, and Wu five. Zane, Both of Milla's parents, Dr. Julien, and Frost."

"Julien?" Asuna whispered. "My dad? But he died of a heart attack in the Ninjago Hospital."

"No, he staged his death and fled to a sacred village to the south of here." Guilt said with a snarl. "Oh, and I guess you would have to count all the people who lived there to Wu's sheet as well." He shook his head. "The point is, is that I have not hurt a single person."

"You lie. You have hurt me. You have hurt Frost's parents too." I snapped.

"No, Wu did when he swung the blade. I did not do a thing."

"Exactly. So you are just as bad as him."

Guilt snarled and turned to me, pulling me to my feet by my hair. He stared into my eyes then dropped me.

"I wish I could punish you, but that damage your perfect skin. I need that to be perfect, if I want you by my side."

"What do you…?" I uttered as I stared at his eyes in horror.

"Oh, yes." He put a hand on my hair, stroking it once. I snarled and backed away. "I am going to marry you."
