I thought I was in the clear that night. Lloyd and I had found a place where we could stay. Late in the night I heard a strange male voice. "Well, well, well. The princess has cometh." I opened my eyes to see a 16 year old boy with long blonde hair and the most condescending smirk I've ever seen.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Samuel, and I thrive off telling you how badly you effed up." He boy grinned. "Where you from, Blondie?"

"You call me that again, I kill you."

"Fair enough. Answer the damn question, please." The blonde smiled like a maniac. "Lemme guess, earth?"

My eyes widened "How did you-"

"I just do. I'm a dark master. I know everything." Sammy shrugged. "

"Dark master?" I accused.

"Dark master of earth, lightning and fire. Otherwise known as the master of destruction."

"Who's dark ice?" I asked getting up. Samuel shrugged.

"No idea. Frankly, I don't really care."

" crazy." I hissed.

"Anything new you'd like to share?" Samuel asked, with a light chuckle.

"Where did you come from?" I asked. "You weren't there when-"

"When your timeline was apparent?" Samuel asked, with a blank look. "Listen toots, you changed the timeline. You brought me into this. Everybody needs a villain. No villain, no show. You and the brat are part of my plan, whether you like it or not, Jayden. You got that?"

I could only think of one thing to say. And it was the most clichéd thing I could say, supposing I was now a female character in ninjago. "The ninja will stop you. It's the biggest cliché ever, but they will. They always did, they always do, and they always will. So don't go and get any stupid ideas, Sammy."

"According to my father, that's all I am." If you're going to insult me. Find something else."

"That wasn't an insult, Sam." I hissed "It was a fact." While I'm at it, I add, "Don't act like you've had such a bad childhood. There are worse cases."

He nodded, not paying me any mind. "I know that. But I still want revenge. Nothing will stop that. You would too." I sighed. I knew somewhat how he felt. Somewhat.

"Can I ask a favor before you release the serpentine?" I asked, feeling useless and helpless.

"Like a final wish?" He asked, looking curious.

"Yeah. One night to think."

"Fine. I'll storm you in the morning." He left with that and I looked up in the sky. My current parents probably noticed by now, but I don't know for certain. Maybe my mother was notified but I doubt it. Lydia probably noticed. At least I hope she did. Nelson and Megan probably could tell too. Maybe Blue did, but I can't tell. I Miss them all. I wonder if I'd ever get home. Then again, I didn't really want to.

Wow.

That was kinda messed up.

Just like me.
