Chapter 7
Nya's POV
"Elsie!" Lloyd shouts as he catches her by her arms. He picks up bridal style and carries her over to a bench we have on deck. My hands unfreeze and I drop the ball of water on Kai and I. I don't care. All I'm concerned about is Elsie.
I rush to stand beside Lloyd. Jay speaks up first.
"Well! That was completely unexpected!" I bonk my boyfriend on the back of his head.
"Ow!" He says annoyed. I glare at him. I was mad. Mad at everyone except Lloyd and Elsie. Lloyd was by her side the whole time. He was standing up for Elsie. As for her, well, I don't know what TO think of Elsie. All I know about her is she bumped into Lloyd, had him lie about her name, and can stop time. Stop time. I replayed what I had just witnessed over in my head.
"Gee," Cole starts, "I feel awful.
"I, as well, overreacted." Zane hangs his head.
"No, it's my fault." Kai sighs.
"I should've done something, anything." Jay says. They are all at fault, but I'm not going to lecture anymore. We all stare at Elsie. Suddenly, she starts to stir.
Elsie's POV
As I come to, I hear voices. They all sound sorry. I feel bad about lying to them. This is all my fault. All I've done is cause trouble, here. At first, I can't move. Now I know how they all felt when I froze them in place. I moan and move my shoulders. I get feeling back in my body, again. I hear footsteps move away, then just before they stop, I hear Lloyd say, "Els-"
I sit up, weakly. My head feels like I got hit with a frying pan. Hard. I flutter my eyes open.
"Guys? What's going o-" I stop short in my statement. They're all frozen. I'm wide awake now! Lloyd is next to Nya, Jay is to their right and the others are to their left. Then I realize something: I'm floating in mid-air. I scream and then the bench drops. I pant heavily. I shoot a blast at everyone, but this does nothing! I concentrate on how I do this. Nothing works. Then, I walk over to them. Cautiously, I put a hand to Lloyd's shoulder. It feels like glass. Then I remember how I did this before. I stepped back a bit, so I could get a clear shot. I gently place both hands in their direction and they're free from their "prison."
"...ie." Lloyd finishes his statement. They all look quite shaken up. I step to the side.
"I should probably leave here." I say.
"If you do, our condition is over," I look over to Sensei behind the group. They all turn around to look at him, except Lloyd. He stays fixed in his place, staring at me.
"What do you mean, Sensei?" Jay asks. "What's going on? Did you know about Elsie being, well, Elsie?" Sensei just looks at me. We walks over in between Lloyd and I and continues to stare; now at both of us. I swallow hard.
"So, are you going to stay, or will I reveal you and Lloyd's little, ahem, secret?" He raises an eyebrow. Was Sensei blackmailing us? Probably doesn't want me to leave, I presume. This is too out of line!
"Isn't that blackmail?" I ask, raising a determined eyebrow. I glance over at Lloyd. He's to shook to do anything. Then, I come to a conclusion.
"Well," I start, "if they find out, I might as well tell them myself."
"Finally! We get some answers!" Jay cries, throwing his hands up. Nya nudges him in his side. "Ow!"
Sensei chuckles. "Very well. I knew you would tell them if I brought this up."
"Tell us what?!" Cole exclaims.
I'm trapped. I have to tell them! So I do. I tell them of the prophecy and how my brother was chasing me when I ran into Lloyd at full force. I tell them that Sensei was the one to suggest I train here for my destiny. I sigh as I say the word. I look at Lloyd. He gives me an assuring smile. I return the gesture.
"So, in order to fulfill this prophecy, you need to find someone else who has a destiny as well?" Zane inquires.
"And aid at his side to defeat a new foe?" Kai asks.
"And save Ninjago?" Jay adds.
"And this is what you weren't telling us?" Cole asks. I nod.
"What about the whole freezing people and things in mid-air thing? Nya asks. I shrug and shake my head.
"And speaking of that," Lloyd says. I turn to him. He's looking me up and down.
"What?" I look down at my body. I'm not wearing my old cloak and hood anymore. I'm wearing what looks to be a purple gie. I look back up at the others with wide eyes.
"Um, since when have I been wearing a gie?" I inquire. They all shift uncomfortably. Nya speaks up.
"Since you started to glow when you came to and shot us with one of your, um, time...blasts?"
"WHAT?!" I shout. Sensei steps forward and places his staff on my shoulder. He looks me in the eyes as he states.
"Elsie; The Master of Time."
I can't get the bold txt to work, but let's pretend that season 7 didn't happen! My world, my rules! Hey, I could just kill off Kai! He's always been a hot-head...
Kai: hey! Am not!
Me: You just keep on thinking that...
Jay: ooooh, burn!
Kai: I'll give you a burn you'll never forget! *lights hand on fire*
Jay: Aaaaah!
Me: uh-oh. Better break this up! Bye guys! Get back here, Kai!
