Chapter 3: Lloyd's POV

When someone you love can't remember you…And you can't remind them who you are…Everything just seems like the worst thing ever. I laid in my bed most of the day in pajamas, crying my eyes out. "Lloyd…" Cole walked into the room with the guys trailing behind. "You okay, man?" I didn't say a word. I just turned onto my side and sighed. "C'mon, dude, you gotta' get out of bed."

"Fuck off." I said.

"Well…At least he's talking…" Jay remarked.

"Why is it so dark in here?" Kai walked over to the window and ripped the dark blue curtains apart.

The light shot into the room and I hissed, covering my face with a pillow. "IT BURNS!" I rolled onto the floor. I used my wind powers to throw the curtains back together. That only made my sadness worse…Wind…Scarlet…The same girl who I loved, yet she had no memory of me…I started to cry silently for the hundredth time.

"He's out of bed I guess…" Jay shrugged. "And he's breathing so I think that's close enough."

Zane helped me off the floor and threw my arm around his shoulder. "Dude, you smell like something died on you." Cole tried to joke around with me, but that earned him my middle finger in his face.

"And he's swearing too…Maybe, he's gonna' be alright." Jay observed me again.

Zane dragged me into the bathroom and I stood on my own feet as I leaned against the wall. "He's standing too." Jay was starting to piss me off. I glared at him. "Oh, and he has a facial expression, there is hope."

Cole, Kai and Zane all backed away as I approached Jay, cracking my knuckles. "Oh shit…" Jay tried to run, but Kai had slammed the door and locked it, leaving the blue ninja with me. I snatched his collar and slammed him into the door multiple times.

I dropped him onto the floor and pounded on him. "C-c'mon dude, I was kidding! Have some mercy!" he whimpered as I pulled back my fist.

"FUCK MERCY! YOU SHOULD'VE SHUT YOUR ASS UP!"

Cole's POV

Jay must've been being beat down badly because he was screaming like a chick when she was being raped. I guess that was what happened when you pissed off a depressed green ninja. "Should we…?" Kai trailed off.

"No! You do not wanna' go in there, Lloyd scares the shit out of me when he's like this." I warned my other teammates.

Jay screamed one last time before the door burst open and he came scrambling out. Seriously, you would've thought Lloyd fucking raped Jay. The blue ninja ran behind Zane and whimpered. He had bruises and cuts. Lloyd growled and Jay bolted. "When I say fuck off, I mean FUCK OFF!" he yelled, slamming the bathroom door.

Okay, a green ninja gets emotional when his girlfriend loses her memory…

…

…

…

We're all fucked.

Lloyd's POV

After I took my shower, I walked into my room and got dressed. Eventually I'd have to tell Scarlet's family. I was sure Vince would kill me for not protecting his daughter like I promised. It was my fault anyway; she pushed me away to protect me, if it wasn't for that…

I sighed deeply as I stared at myself in the mirror. My eyes were red from crying and my skin was pale from lying in my bed all day without sunlight. I hadn't eaten either so I was a bit skinnier too. "Uncle Lloyd," Dexter knocked on my open bedroom door, holding something behind his back. "Can I come in?"

I glanced at the seven year old briefly. He was innocent so if he pissed me off, it was because he hardly knew what he was doing. "Yeah, kid." I nodded, sitting on my bed.

Dexter sat next to me and pulled out a piece of paper. He handed it to me. "I drew it and wanted to know if you wanted it…"

It was a drawing of a female royal blue ninja with several cuts and bruises on her skin leaning against a male green ninja who was bleeding from his neck. Both their hair had blood red streaks and their eyes leaked with sweet blue tears. "Did you draw this?" I asked.

Dexter nodded and pointed to his signature in the corner of the page. For a kid, he could draw pretty well.

He had definitely taken after his mom's artistic talent. The drawing had detail and the right colors in the right places. I smiled at the drawing of Scarlet and I. In the background was fire and chaos but Scarlet and I managed to stay in love. "I drew it for you, you can keep it." Dexter said, standing. The little kid ran out of the room.

"Thank you." I said as he ran.

My mood changed to a bit happier and I slid the drawing into a hiding place in my desk.

…

I entered the gates of the Maxx manner and walked up to the front door. I rung the door bell and waited. The other ninja, Dexter & Justice, Nya, Jayleene and Sensei Wu had all come with me to give the bad news. Finally a now fourteen year old June answered the door. "Hey, Lloyd." She waved. The former toddler no longer had a crush on Kai so she waved at everyone, equally happily. "So you come to tell me you finally married my sister?" she joked.

"Move it, ass wipe." A now eighteen year old Tony bumped his little sister away. "What's up, Lloyd? You knocked up Scarlet yet?"

"Motherfucker, I was talking to him!" June growled. Okay, so the girl had definitely learnt some new words over the years. June and Tony wrestled one another.

A mature sigh came from behind and an older Storm pushed them both away from view. "Sorry about that, after six years those two are still immature, what's brought you here?"

I sighed deeply. "Storm, where are Vince and Kat? They both need to hear this too."

Storm stood still for a minute. "What happened…?" he started to realize Scarlet wasn't with me.

"I'll explain it when we get inside."

He moved aside and allowed us all inside.

The mansion was big enough for the family living inside so Storm and Haden still lived there. Scarlet told me it stopped any fighting over the inheritance. Vince and Kat sat in the kitchen happily; well…When I walked in Vince's glare was unmistakable. Seriously, you'd think after seven years I'd be able to touch my girlfriend without getting the evil eye.

Imagine what'd he'd do when he found out about what happened to Scarlet…

"Hey, Vince…Kat…" I waved awkwardly. It was weird being around them without Scarlet.

"Oh hi, Lloyd," Kat got up and hugged me. I patted her on the back and she let go. "So where's my girl? I haven't seen her in a while and I have a whole line of dresses she should see."

I looked down, Haden, Storm, Tony and June had joined the group too. "Lloyd…Where the fuck is my sister…?" Tony asked with a stern, but scared voice when I didn't say anything.

"We were trying to put out a fire in Jamonacai Village…" I started to explain, but getting out the rest felt impossible. It felt worse than it would if Scarlet was dead.

"She got injured and…Well…She can't remember anything, not even her name or her family or us…" Jayleene finished, touching my shoulder.

Everyone stared at me silently asking if I was serious and I just nodded, dead silent. Tony walked up to me slowly with a serious glare, worse than his dad's own. "You fucking…I…" he was practically speechless. "You're supposed to protect my sister…" June spoke up. "I deserve to kick your ass!" she grabbed my neck. Storm and Tony had to hold the fourteen year old back.

Vince and Kat just stood still, exchanging glances. Haden grabbed some keys that were resting on the kitchen counter and started to walk out of the room. "Where are you going?" Nya asked.

"To go see Scarlet." We all followed her.
