Chapter 16:
Cuchilla's POV
When we finally arrived at Alejandro, Acuzio, and Delicia's den, I turned human.
"Don't follow me and Relámpago. The moon wolves will attack you," I instructed them. After receiving nods of understanding, I turned back into my she-wolf self and lead Relámpago into the den. Upon entering, I immediately saw Alejandro and his siblings, in their wolf forms, lying lazily around the den, with absolutely nothing to do.
"¡Hola Cuchilla!" Alejandro called out.
"¡Hola Alejandro, Acuzio, Delicia." I nodded at my friends.
"¿Qué te trae?" Acuzio asked. (What brings you?)
"Ay, Relámpago fue mordido por una serpiente. ¿Dónde está Peridot?" I asked. (Oh, Relámpago was bit by a snake. Where is Peridot?)
"Peridot es la caza. Ella debería estar aquí pronto." Delicia said. (Peridot is hunting. She should be here soon.) As if on cue, Peridot and came into the cave. Relámpago was lying on the ground, with Acuzio studying him and sniffing him.
"¿Quién es Este?" Peridot asked. (Who is this?)
"Esta es Relámpago. En forma humana, él es Blue Jay." I explained. (This is Relámpago. In human form, he is Blue Jay.)
"Ay, ¿por qué es aquí? ¿Por qué estás aquí, también?" Peridot asked. (Oh, why is he here? Why are you here, too?)
"Por su ayuda, él lo necesito. Él mellado su dedo en un esqueleto y tiene veneno en las venas. Dice que se curó, pero sigue siendo débil." I explained quickly. (For your help, he needs it. He nicked his finger on a skeleton and has poison in his veins. He says he was cured, but remains weak.) Peridot nodded and walked toward the caramel moon wolf.
"¿Qué tipo de esqueleto lo envenenó? Peridot asked, examining Relámpago. (What kind of skeleton poisoned him?)
"Un Fangpyre." I answered. (A Fangpyre.)
"Voy a estar de vuelta. Espere aquí." Peridot told Relámpago and I. (I will be back. Wait here.)
"Sí, Peridot." I bowed my head in respect. Peridot rushed out of the den in the direction of her own den, probably to gather supplies. A few minutes later, Peridot returned carrying a brown jug, the handle hanging from her mouth.
"Bebe esto." Peridot told Relámpago. Relámpago shakily got to his feet and licked the liquid from the jug. Judging by his reaction, I would not have wanted to taste the liquid. (Drink this.)
"¿Qué es eso?" He asked. (What is that?)
"Que es un secreto." Peridot responded. (That is a secret.)
"Gracias Peridot." I thanked her.
"Sí, gracias." Relámpago followed suit. After talking with my friends for a few minutes, I realized Pablo was no where to be found.
"¿Dónde es Pablo?" I asked. (Where is Pablo?)
"¿Quién?" Acuzio asked. (Who?)
"Pablo, tu hermano pequeño," I told them. (Pablo, your little brother.)
"Ay, Pablo está con el padre." Delicia responded. (Oh, Pablo is with father.)
"Debemos ponerse en marcha antes de la otros empiezan a preocuparse. Gracias de nuevo Peridot." I told the group. "Vamos, Relámpago." Relámpago and I headed outside to look for the Bounty. (We should get going before the others start to worry. Thanks again Peridot. Come, Relámpago.)
"¡Cuchilla! ¡Mantente en contacto con nosotros! De lo contrario vamos a estar aburrido de nuestras mentes," Alejandro called out to me. (Cuchilla! Stay in touch with us! Otherwise we will be bored of our minds.)
"¡Lo haré, no te preocupes!" I called back to him. (I will, don't worry!) Relámpago and I trotted to the fields where Nya had the Bounty suspended in air. We jumped up to the anchor.
Upon climbing onto the deck, Relámpago turned back into Blue Jay, just as Nya rushed to him and hugged him. I snickered at the scene, and then went off to find my own amor.
I finally found him, as well as Zane and Cole, asleep in their room. I huffed slightly, and then walked over to Kai's bunk. I leapt up onto his bed and curled up in a ball, only to fall asleep almost immediately.
With Garmadon, Wu, and Luisa
Luisa's POV
I had been in deep thought about Lupe and Lloyd until Wu suddenly stopped. Not realizing my uncle's movement, I bumped into him, snapping me out of my train of thought.
I haven't known him for twelve hours and I already despise him! I thought angrily.
"Why do we stop?" I ask, still annoyed.
"We're here. The Mountain of Madness." My father told us.
"I'll tell you who's mad," I muttered. I received a smack on the back of my head for that, curtsey of my father.
"The only way back to Ninjago is up there?" Wu asked.
"No, it's the path to a golden ice cream store," I muttered, quieter than before, yet still receiving my father's scolding hand. "What?" I asked, his glare told me everything.
"The worst is yet to come," Father told us.
"And I thought I was the worst," I snickered.
"You really are sometimes." I heard father mutter.
"Let's just get this over with." I muttered, walking ahead of my kin, still annoyed with my uncle.
"Is she always this way?" I heard Wu ask father.
"Sadly, most of the time, yes." Father replied. By this time, I was at least two yards in front of them, as neither of them had moved.
"Are we going to move or are we waiting for the apocalypse?" I asked sarcastically.
"We're coming, be patient." Father told me.
Says he who has so very little patience. Now I know where I get that from! I thought, smiling and amused at my conclusion. It was true that father had very little patience at times, as is with mum. I guess the combination of impatience brought even more impatience into the world. Oh well, they'll just have to deal with me. I thought, planning to not only make the 'ninja's lives difficult, but also the lives of Lloyd, father, Wu, and, most of all, Lupe difficult to my best ability.
"Hey dad," I called to him, turning around and walking to him.
"Yes, Luisa?" He seemed exhausted. I smirked inwardly. Step one, father, check. Step two, uncle, not yet.
"If I was an animal, do you think I would be a feline or a canine?" I asked.
"I honestly think you would be a cat." He told me. I smirked inwardly again. "Why do you ask?"
"Just wondering," I responded. But I wasn't 'just wondering,' I was planning. She-cat plus she-wolf equals all hell breaking lose. And that's what I'm going to do!
