To Find a Way

Chapter 2 : Help!!!!

##Lloyd P.O.V ## 

 I'm not going back! Just keep running...keep running Lloyd!!!  I thought to myself. I can't go back. I stopped and hid in a small cave to catch my breath. I curled into a little ball, shivering. The skin on my back burned as it touched the cave wall due to the fever I had. I began to cry. My throat was sore, as I suddenly had a coughing fit. I felt something climb up my throat into my mouth and quickly ran to the other end of the cave, pulled my hair away from my face, and threw up in the back of the cave. "Ugh!" I groaned. Still sobbing, I wiped my mouth off with my sleeve. First, I'm locked up in the Underworld by my own father. Then, he gets distracted with some evil plot, and when I finally escape he sends the entire army after me. On top of that, the skeletons didn't know how to take care of a living child, which is making me literally sick. "Is destiny against me?!" I yelled a little too loudly.

"Did you hear that?" I heard someone say, footsteps came close to my hiding spot, and dove behind a rock and tried to quiet my breathing. "Fales alarm there is nothing here." The voice said it was one of Dad's top generals, Knukal. "Let's go check the river." I silently sighed in relief, then let out a sneeze. Uh Oh !!!!   

"Found ya !!!!"  yelled the solder, sneaking up behind me. I jumped up ( Kicked back, Wiped ar... *awkward laugh* never mind.)and zig-zagged around the soldiers out of the mouth of the cave. Again I'm running? Ugh!!!!! Why dad, why?? All I want is to be at home at the Monastery, with mom and Uncle Wu and... Out of nowhere, a Skeleton foot came from behind a tree causing me to trip and tumble down the hill, slamming my head on a rock.

 A minute later I was couldn't tell if I'd stopped rolling, my head was pounding, I felt blood trickle down the back of my neck as I was roughly forced to my feet. "No running now kid!!!" I weakly tried to fight, which only caused pain to shoot through my right arm making me yelp.

 The Skeletons forced poor, hurt Lloyd down the rocky steep side of the mountain. "You got him!" Yelled the solder from Samukai's tent. ( I'm going to call him Samukai's #1) 

"P...Please let me go." Lloyd begged his captors looking as if he was trying to stay couscous.

"Sorry, but your father has need of you in the Underworld." said Samukai's #1, with a smirk. 

"No!! Let me go!!! I don't want to go back Please!!." I heard Lloyd cry. 

"Morro, what do we do?" Whispered Zane. I Didn't answer, I couldn't. I could only listen to Lloyds pleas. What do we do... do... do... do?      

  "Shut up brat!" Yelled Samukai's #1 pulling out a knife and holding it inches away from the poor child's face. Lloyd was instantly silent, face frozen in horror. "Now, one more word, and you lose more blood! understand?" Samukai's #1 continued pressing the knife on Lloyd's neck right under his left ear. "Good," he said putting the knife away.

(So Morro can use the wind to pick up small noises, and the whereabouts of things and people.)

Unknown to the skeletons Lloyd quietly whispered "Help?!"  That was the last straw.

"Help?!" I whispered believing it would never be heard, tears streaming down my face. 

Out of nowhere, a strong wind blew through the forest. An arrow made of what looked like air, zoomed by hitting Samukai's #1 squarely on the spine at the base of his skull knockings his head clean off. My vision started fading as I felt my arms being let go. I couldn't stand anymore my knees buckled, everything went black.

"...Is he going to be ok?" Said a voice. 

"He has a mild concussion, probably pneumonia, a broken arm, and was practically starved to death." answered a nether one, there was a moment's pause. "I'll be outside."  I heard footsteps then a door closing.  

"How did he escape?"  Asked a gentle voice of a woman. I felt a hand brush some hair away from my face. Suddenly a wave of pain went through my right arm, I groaned. Wow, that hurts!! I thought.

"I think he's waking up!" I cracked open an eye.

"What, w...where am I?" There standing over me was... "Morro??"

 "Yes, Lloyd it's me," Morro said. "It's me." 

 I looked beside Morro... " M... Mom!" She pulled me into a hug.

"It's me, baby." I melted in her arms, then it hit me. 

"Wait, how do I know it's you?" I said pushing away, Is this is one of dad's tricks?  (Nickname time!!!)

"Um... You use to call me Mo." said Morro (^^ like it?)

 "It is you!" I choked on a sob, snuggled into my mom's chest, I couldn't help it I let out all the pain and loneliness from the last two years. "I ...missed... you...so... much," I said in between gasps for air.

Misako and Morro exchanged looks.

"Lloyd, Garmadon didn't hurt you did he?" Asked Morro turning Lloyd to face him. 

"No, Dad would never hurt me... on purpose," said Lloyd. 

"Then why are you so sick?" He let out a bunch of random questions. Lloyd groaned and laid his head back on his mother, who gave Morro a glair getting him to shut up. "Sorry Lloyd you can answer later you should get some sleep. You hit your head pretty hard kid." he sighed and stood to leave, when Cole, Jay, Kai, and Zane rushed in at the same time.

"Your awake!!" They say happily at the same time minus Kai. Lloyd grunted in pain, the loud sudden noise did not help his splitting headache. "Sorry," they whispered.

"They wanted to see how you were doing." Said Zane, who must have been the one who told Morro and Misako how hurt Lloyd was. 

"It's good to see you guys," said Lloyd, pain aside. 

"It's good to see you as well, nephew." said a voice behind the four ninjas.

"Uncle Wu?" 

"Yes. Now you can catch up tomorrow, students, but for now, Lloyd needs his rest." Said Wu.

"Yes Sensei!" they said in unions. They then left wishing him a good night. Lloyd began to fall into the most peaceful sleep in two years, being just enough awake to hear his mother say, petting his hair.

"Sleep well my little ninja, you're safe." And he is for now.
