Chapter 5- Missing
Lloyd woke up with the sunlight sneaking through his eyelids. He sat up, grateful that sensei had let them sleep one full night without making them rise up early. He stretched his still sleeping muscles and noticed that Cole's bed was empty; Of course he was probably training already gaining more and more muscles he could brag about. Or maybe he was with Naomi, Showing her around the ship or eating something.
Naomi.
Naomi, what exactly did Lloyd think about her? He didn't really know, he just knew it was definitely un-safe to mention anything to the guys. They'd never let it go, Plus he didn't know how Cole might react, for all Lloyd knew he could be more overprotective than Kai was over Nya. It was too complicated to think about on an empty stomach so he stood and walked out the room. He didn't bother on being quiet, if the sun hadn't woken up the others he didn't think anything would, for a couple of hours at least. He passed by Naomi's room which was empty proving that she and Cole were together. Lloyd walked out on deck where sensei had already finished his sunrise exercises and was drinking out of his blue cup which was undoubtedly filled with tea.
"Morning Sensei," Lloyd said casually when he reached him. "Any idea where Cole is? And um Naomi?"
Sensei took a sip of tea. "I'm afraid not, they were gone when I woke up"
"Oh," Lloyd said trying to hide the disappointment in his voice. Why was he disappointed anyway? Had he really thought Naomi would be waiting for him to wake up? Waiting for that combat training he'd promised? Well whatever, she probably wouldn't be able to handle his awesomeness either way. Still he couldn't help asking. "Where do you think they went?"
"If I had to take a guess Cole probably took her back to their village,"
"Right,"
Lloyd retreated into the kitchen, Where Zane's cake sat on the table. It was untouched though, not even a crumb was missing. Was Cole sick or something? Maybe he just didn't want Naomi to see it because then he would have to share. But wait. . . Why would he leave it out in the open where everyone else could take a bite?
Really Lloyd you're thinking too much He thought to himself
Later on, the others woke up and they agreed with sensei on the fact that Cole probably took Naomi to their home town. Something bothered Lloyd though, As it grew later and later and the ship's shadows moved about slowly ending up in the opposite direction in which they started he grew more and more impatient. Everyone else just shrugged it off, pointing out that the village wasn't exactly around the corner and their spinjitzu vehicles were long gone. After a couple of laps around the ship, Jay began to point out the fact that Lloyd liked Naomi, or even worse Cole!, and the others joined in to make fun of their fellow ninja Including Zane, whose monotone comments caused Kai and Jay to laugh harder and harder.
Funny Lloyd though Jay's more lovesick than a puppy but nobody says anything
He wasn't pacing around because he liked her or was hoping she'd be in her room when he walked by, it really wasn't. I mean maybe he liked the way her purple eyes sparkled when she smiled and maybe he found the fact that her hair was a slightly wild a bit attractive maybe. . . The point was, apart from the fact that he wasn't crushing on her. . . Really he wasn't! Was that he just had a very bad feeling that something was amiss. First of all Cole had say her father had somewhat kicked Naomi out of their house, so why would he take her back there? Second, he would have woken somebody up or left a note or something. The third and most shocking fact of all was that he'd left Zane's cake untouched and everyone knew Cole had never been able to stop himself from munching down any of Zane's cakes, much less the Chocolate fudge special.
Mentioning any of this to do guys would only cause more teasing and they'd only say he was probably overreacting. Which he probably was, but he didn't care he had to follow his instincts. He hadn't become the green ninja for nothing. The problem he didn't have any idea as to where Cole was headed to begin. The only plan he could think of was heading to Jamanakai village, where he'd ask around and see if Cole had passed through there or not.
Lloyd stayed out on deck waiting for everyone to check in for the night. Last time he'd gone out in his own private mission without telling everyone, He had ended up being captured by Pythor and his slithery friends in the middle of Ouroboros. But it was different this time, there wasn't going to be thousands of snakes surrounding him and he wasn't going to be a helpless little kid. He'd learned a lot since then, and he wasn't gonna be in any danger.
He was Lloyd Garmadon, the ultimate spinjitzu master so if there was trouble he'd have no problem kicking some ass.
Yet deep inside him, in the place where he was still a child craving for candy and action-packed fritz donnegan comics, He still felt a small flame of fear towards Pythor. But Lloyd's pride and recklessness kept the fear from reaching his conscious mind.
If only the fear had been free. . .
If only Lloyd's veins had been filled with adrenaline. . .
If only he'd planned a little more carefully. . .
If only. . .
