Your POV, 6 Months Ago

You looked at the man in front of you. He was tall and handsome. His messy black hair covered part of his face. You giggled.

"What is it, [Y/N]?" Roy asked.

"You need a haircut, silly!" you said as you brushed his hair out of his face. You pulled his head in for a kiss. He kissed you back.

"What did I ever do to deserve you [Y/N]?" he asked.

"Oh, I dunno. You stopped that mugger from taking my bag in Jumanikai Village, I seem to remember," you said.

"Oh, yes! I remember! I remember being disappointed. My girlfriend had just broken up with me. I was upset, when I heard a yell and saw a dude being chased by the most gorgeous girl ever. The dude had taken this girl's satchel. So I ran off to help her." He kissed you again. "It was worth it."

"I'm glad to hear I'm worth it," you said with a smile. You continue to walk down the street of New Ninjago City, fingers entangled in his. "C'mon!" you said, dragging him to your favorite part of the city.

You walked through the gate and slowed down. You went to the statue of one of Ninjago's heroes. Zane, the White Ninja, Master of Ice. Titanium Ninja, as Cyrus Borg called him. This was his memorial.

Of course, he wasn't dead. Not anymore. Though, you supposed he wasn't alive, since he was a nindroid.

You enjoyed this area because it was peaceful and reminded you what the Ninja had done for you and Ninjago.

You and Roy sat down next to the statue of Zane. Your boyfriend pulled out a brown paper sack. "Look at what I got?"

"Puffy potstickers!" you shouted with joy. They were your favorite.

"You know it!" he said with a smile as he handed you some chopsticks and a box of potstickers, as well as throwing you a fortune cookie.

The two of you are your potstickers in peace. When you had finished, you lifted your fortune cookie. "Let's read our fortunes!" you said. You broke your cookie in half and took out the little slip of paper. "You first!" you said without even looking at your fortune.

Roy looked at his slip of paper and read in a mock theatrical voice, "Sunshine is a joy that you must enjoy."

"That's not even a fortune!" you said giggling.

"I know, right! What does yours say?" he said as he set his fortune down underneath a chopstick, with the small typed blue lettering on top.

You looked down at your fortune. It's written in sloppy red handwriting, which was weird. The fortune it told was weirder. "We found you, [Y/N] [L/N]. No more hiding! You're coming with us," you say with a look of concern.

Roy suddenly got up. "I heard a stick snap."

Oh frick you thought. You had no idea what was going on. Suddenly you and your boyfriend were surrounded by men in black masks. They all had blades. "[Y/N] [L/N]! You're coming with us!" one of them said.

"No she's not," Roy shouted. "Stay back!"

"You got yourself a lover! Wow, this'll be splendid!" another man shouted. "You stay back if you wanna live, lover boy!"

You were terrified. What did these guys want with you? Roy was pissed. You had never seen him so angry. Suddenly he launched himself at the closest attacker. The man seemed surprised but easily dodged the attack. Another man punched Roy in the face while the man he attacked kicked his knees. A third man showed up with a knife. You watched in horror as the man you loved was stabbed in front of you and was deposited in the ground next to you.

You choked back tears as you knelt by him. "R-run!" was his last word.

"It's a shame. One wasted death," one of the men said. Another man, the one who Roy leapt on, wrapped his left arm around your arms and chest and held a knife up to your throat with his right. "You're ours now, girl," he whispered in your ear. He started to drag you away to a van parked nearby, when a voice made him stop.

"Stop right there!" the voice said.

The men turned around. Five men stood there. One wore red and had a sword, one in blue with nunchucks, one in white with shurikens, one in black with a scythe, and one in green, who appeared to be unarmed.

"Let her go!" one of the Ninja said.

The leader of the attackers laughed. "Like we would, Ninja! If you want her, come and claim her!" There were seven attackers. One had you in his grasp, one was the leader, and the other five were minions. The five minions marched over to the Ninja, swords and knives at the ready. The Ninja fought and quickly disabled the attackers.

"That the best you got?" the blue one, Jay, asked.

Ten more men jumped out of the trees, with full body armor and double bladed swords.

"You had to ask," the red one, Kai, said.

In a flash of color, the Ninja shouted "NINJAGO!" and started using Spinjitzu. The ten new men fell in crumpled heaps on the ground. The white one, Zane, threw a shuriken at the man holding you, knocking the man out, but pulling you down too since his arms were still around you. Cole ran to help you up and protect you as the other Ninja circled the leader.

"You Ninja are just a mild annoyance. Till we meet again, [Y/N]," he said. He threw a smoke bomb at his feet. You and the Ninja started coughing. When the smoke cleared, the attacker was gone.

You ran to your boyfriend's dead body. You loved him, but he was cruelly taken away from you. You didn't want to cry in front of the Ninja, your heroes, but you couldn't keep the tears in. Tears of fear of your life, of stress of almost being kidnapped, and tears of grief. You sobbed into Roy's body, stroking his hand.

You felt a hand on your shoulder. You looked up to see the Ninja also sitting next to Roy. "I, I'm sorry. We shoulda been here to stop this," the green one, Lloyd, said. He had a deep look of regret and remorse.

"It, it, it wasn't your fault," you said between sobs. You and the Ninja sat there underneath Zane's statue with Roy's lifeless body for a while. Not much was said. They didn't ask you questions about it, they just were there for you. You knew these men were heroes, but you didn't know they were this...caring.

After a while, one of them spoke up. "We better get you home and him to a morgue," Zane said with concern in his disembodied voice. You nodded solemnly. Jay held out a hand and you took it. He helped you up and put an arm across your back, pulling you toward him. Roy used to always do that. It hurt for someone else to do it, but you knew Jay was just trying to help so you went with it.

"C'mon, I'll walk you home," Jay said.

Each of the Ninja gave you a hug before you and Jay left. As Kai hugged you, he whispered in your ear, "I'll be looking out for you. You'll be safe."

Cole picked up Roy's dead body and placed him on his back. "We'll get him to a morgue and call his family."

"Thank you," you said, still in shock over what had happened.

You and Jay walked to your apartment together in silence. You cried into his shoulder at every crosswalk when you had to wait for cars to pass. He just hugged you and said some cheesy comments. But you didn't really listen. There isn't much you can say to a girl who just watched her boyfriend get murdered in front of her while trying to protect her. When you got to your apartment building he walked you up the steps to your room. You unlocked it and was about to go in when he stopped you.

"Let me check. Those creeps might be here," Jay said. He entered the apartment and checked around. He came back to the door. "All clear!"

You walked in and sat down on the couch without even closing the door. Jay noticed and closed the door and sat down next to you. "Is there anything I can do for you? Anything?" he asked.

You shook your head. "I, I just wanna get some sleep." Jay led you to the bedroom. He stood outside as you dressed into your PJs. You opened the door when you were changed and lied down on your bed. The doorbell rang.

"I'll get it!" Jay said. You lied down and cried into your pillow. Jay came back with the rest of the ninja.

"We sorted out everything with Roy, [Y/N]," Cole said.

"I'm so sorry," Lloyd said softly. The other Ninja said stuff like that to you too.

"Guys? Can you stay here until I fall asleep?" you ask. They said yes and pulled chairs into your room. You cried yourself to sleep, with your last thought being a promise. A promise to never love again in honor of Roy Jensen.

Zane's POV

I exited my Spinjitzu and looked at the beautiful girl, pinned in a man's arms with a knife at her throat. I needed to save her. I chucked my shuriken at the man's head. He crumpled to the ground with a thud, taking [Y/N] with him. Cole ran forward to help her, so I turned my attention to the monster that did this.

He wouldn't get away with this.

•••

Cole's POV

I rushed to her. The man Zane had knocked out still had his arms around [Y/N], and she was too shocked to move them. He bent down and threw the man's arms off of her and pulled her up. He kept her behind him. The mastermind vanished and I looked at the cute [Y/N]. She sprinted to the dead body of Roy Jensen and cried. I slid over to her with the rest of the team.

[Y/N] was going through something very few have and ever will. Why must it always be the good?

•••

Jay's POV

I walked her home with a heavy heart. Her boyfriend had died, how could the gorgeous [Y/N] recover? She was almost kidnapped at knife point while her love was killed.

She cried a lot. Not that I blamed her. Whenever I saw a drinking fountain, I made her drink. She was losing a lot of fluids. By the end of it all I had to change because my shoulder was soaked with tears.

Just before the team had left to save her, Nya had dumped me. Though [Y/N] was dealing with much worse, I knew how it felt to lose a love.

It hurt.

•••

Lloyd's POV

I felt horrible. I let [Y/N]'s boyfriend die. Now [Y/N] would live alone. Because of me.

When [Y/N] asked us to stay with her, I wasn't surprised. I would've done the same thing. She cried and cried and cried. I didn't know what to do. When she fell asleep, I left a note on the nightstand about the situation with Roy. We left with heavy hearts. Never had I seen a more heart broken girl. That was so pretty.

I felt horrible.

•••

Kai's POV

I had told [Y/N] I'd look out for her. That's what I did.

I would check up on her without anyone, except her, knowing. On the way to the grocery store, to the funeral, to her job as a waitress at a small diner. I checked on her everywhere.

I owed her that. A hot girl like her needed help.
