Hello my readers! I apologize for not updating in the past couple of months, basketball fucked up my life for a while, and I've been having lots of emotional problems and stress. But I am back! So enjoy this chapter, my pupils!
**December 25 - Christmas Day
Julia's P.O.V.
I woke up again - in my own bed this time - and realised how much I missed sleep. And it was a dreamless sleep, not full of nightmares like before. Then I noticed the arms wrapped around me, and pulled them a little tighter, smiling. It felt so good to finally have someone actually love me. I just hope Kai is the real deal this time...
"HOLY FUCK MOTHER FUCKER FUCKING BASTARD JACK ASS FUCK!" Someone screamed, waking up Kai and making me jump.
"What was that?" he asked, climbing out of bed with me. The voice was so unfamiliar...
"SON of a BITCH!" Lloyd yelled. But his voice didn't sound like the first one.
"Calm down, guys. It can't be that bad," Jay said. There was a pause. Then - "YOU WIFE STEALING BASTARD WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"
Kai and I walked into the TV room to find the other four ninja flipping out over a piece of paper. "What's going on?" I asked.
Zane spun around to face me, his eyes colder and angrier than I have ever seen. "You... YOU did this!"
"What..."
"YOU FUCKING KILLED AMANDA YOU FUCKING HOMEWRECKER!" So THAT was the first yell...
"I'm going to kick your ass, you little bitch! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Jay threatened.
"Wait - what are you talking about?" I asked. Lloyd flung the paper in my face. It was a note written in Italian.
"Zane translated it, and it says you murdered the other girls and ran away to join my father," he said with tears in my eyes. "You killed them slowly and painfully, and their screams gave you joy... HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!"
I read note quickly:
Ninja,
Ho rapito le tue amiche. Se tu volere io tornare loro prima io uccidere loro, voi cederete e darete mi mio figlio e Julia.
~Anonimo
"Um, guys? I think you read it wrong." I speak Italian, so I translated it for them. "It says: 'I have kidnapped your friends. If you want me to return them before I kill them, you will surrender and give me my son and Julia.'"
"And how do we know we can trust you?" Jay asked.
I pulled out my phone and put it in the online translator.
"It says 'I have kidnapped your friends. If you want me to return them before I kill them, you will succumb and will give me my son and Julia.' That's basically what I just said." Everyone calmed down, ashamed at their misinterpretation of the letter.
"Wait... then who wrote it?" Zane asked after a long, awkward silence.
"It's signed 'Anonymous', but I'm guessing Garmadon," I replied. Once again, their anger returned.
"Why didn't he just take you two while he was here? I mean, no offense or anything, but you were right there and he KIDNAPPED NYA I mean why take her if he could've just taken you?" Jay rambled.
"Because he's a giant jack ass, that's why," Kai replied.
"We should attack," Zane suggested.
"Yeah. I'm actually looking forward to beating some sense into my father," Lloyd agreed.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" Jay shouted.
The guys all left to prepare for battle, but Cole remained on the couch with his head down. That's when I realized he hasn't said anything about his girlfriend's kidnapping.
"Cole?" I asked softly. He looked up with red eyes. "Why aren't you getting ready to fight?"
Cole shook his head. "It's pointless. I have no one to save."
"What about Melissa?" When tears sprung to his eyes, I knew he had a different problem. I sat beside him. "What happened?"
He took a deep breath. "I proposed to her last night, after we got home. She said no, because it was too early, and we had a fight, then she left. So I highly doubt Garmadon kidnapped her, too."
I didn't know what to say, so I hugged him. Then a thought came to mind. "Did she ever tell you she loved you?"
"Well, yeah. But what does that have to do with anything?"
"If she loved you, and you loved her, then I'm sure it'll work out. She was probably scared of taking things to the next level, and panicked. But if she's told you she loves you, then she probably won't stay mad at you."
Cole looked at me with hopeful eyes. It was strange seeing the ninja's strong leader in tears. "Really? You think it'll work out?"
"I'm positive."
He nodded. "Ok. I'm gonna help the others, then get Melissa back." Cole thanked me, then left to prepare to face Garmadon.
Still, I stayed behind. I wanted to have a little talk with that bastard who stole my friends.
Why did you kidnap my friends?! If you wanted me and Lloyd so badly, why couldn't you just take us?!
Garmadon: Because. It's more fun this way. You have to SURRENDER to me. If I just took you, your friends could save you. But not now... MUAHAHAHAHAAAA
Me: *Sigh* What do you want with me, anyway?
Garmadon: You have the same powers as my son, if not more. That's the benefit of touching the mega-weapon. I don't have those powers because I am evil, and the weapon was originally made for good. You will rule by my side and we will take over Ninjago together! Nothing will stop us!
Me: I would never rule beside scum like you, you stupid piece of shit!
Garmadon: Then it's settled. Your friends will DIE.
Me: Wait! No, don't kill them!
Garmadon: Then join me...
I paused, but finally gave him an answer.
Me: Fine, I give in. But good luck with Lloyd, he's pretty pissed at you...
Of course, that first part was a lie. Why would I ever give in to that jack ass?
Garmadon: Don't worry. Getting Lloyd's loyalty shouldn't be a problem.
Me: What's that supposed to mean?!
But of course, he didn't respond. I got up and changed into the outfit I wore when I first faced off with Garmadon, grabbed my sword, and met up with the others outside.
"Ok, guys. Let's do this."
We formed a plan together. Zane went to find our "secret weapon" and then we were off to kick Garmadon's ass and save my friends. What a great way to begin Christmas Day...
Poor Cole... Wow I can't believe I actually said that XD Let's just hope the ninja and Julia can defeat Garmadon and get the girls back without having to surrender.
