Chapter 11
We sail this day

Lloyd's POV

I was scared, and crying, and felt alone. Why would I dream of something like this? I heard the shuffling of feet from the hallway.

"Lloyd?" The twindroids came here. Well... I guess they do have sensitive hearing...

I heard mumbling, more shuffling, and a soft knocking on my door.

"Lloyd?" It was Annalise.

"Come i-in..." I said. I cursed the way my voice trembled. She walked in.

"What was the nightmare about?" How did she know? I tried to speak but she shushed me. She started speaking again, "I used to have nightmares too... And... No one was there to comfort me..." She paused "I don't know why I did because my fear switch was off. I don't want anyone to suffer like I did... So, what happened?"

I gave in and I told her about the dream. About her, the bloody shuriken, about the ripping skin, about the pool. I spilled it all out to her. She just listened and showed no sign of fear. She spoke...

"Don't worry. You will always have me, and I would never turn into anything like that." She was truthful, but it was almost like her voice was trembling. She... Kissed me on the forehead. She kissed me on the forehead. SHE KISSED ME ON THE FOREHEAD! She saw my little... Uh... Show, giggled, and left. She's so...

Annalise's POV

I walked back to my room, closed the door, and slid down in front of it. H-he had th-that dream too? I was so scared, so confused. I cried for the rest of the night and fell asleep against the door...

Morning Time

I woke up. Cheeks tear-stained, eyes red... I-I... This does not compute! Why would he have nearly the same dream as me? I was so confused! I felt I was getting warmer by the second. I was over-heating! I felt weak. I crawled to my desk, and composed a letter to my brothers, crush (Lloyd), my sister, and my sensei.

Dear Zane, Kai, Cole, Jay, Lloyd, Nya, Sensei Wu, and Misako,

As you find me and this letter, you must not worry. I will be safe. But not for long. You may not be able to operate me without my blue prints. They are located at mine and Zane's home.

I feel like I have forgot something, but I cannot think clearly.

Please do not worry,
Annalise

Zane's POV

I was just cooking breakfast and a loud thump echoed throughout the bounty. I didn't think of it at the time until I heard the frightened shriek of Nya. I set breakfast down on the table and ran to Nya.

I soon saw the platinum blonde hair of my sister and the red of Nya's dress. Nya tried to touch my sister but was burnt on contact. I ran my cool fingers across her burning ones and cooled down her hand. She thanked me and ran to get the others.

Lloyd and I were the only ones who could touch her without protection (you know, them having the element of ice). He helped to tend to her, while I read her letter aloud.

"She left her blue prints at home? We can't go back there now!" Jay exclaimed. He was right. We were to far. The alarm then sounded. Misako said she'd tend to my sister while we took care of what was happening. There was a storm heading our way.

Every ninja, except for Jay and Annalise, went to hold onto the sail as the storm started.

"We need everyone's help Jay!" I yelled. (A/N Even though this is my favorite episode ever, I may forget something. So forgive me if I do!)

"I can't! I... I only have one pair of underwear!" Jay yelled.

"This is no time for jokes Jay!" Kai yelled.

"You think I'm joking? We'll see who's laughin' when I have to go commando!" Jay replied.

Just then a creature of unknown origins landed on the deck and Cole let go of the rope keeping our sail intact. I was lifted off of the deck and Jay ran out.

"I'm coming!" He yelled. He was then drenched in water, "ah, seriously?" We then heard laughing.

Cole picked up the glowing creature.

"It looks like some kind of fish..." He said. It then bit Cole. "Gah!"

More of them jumped onto the deck and headed for the rope we were holding. They then chewed through it, making us fall. We tried to remove them from the deck. But... There were too many!

Jay then yelled and twirled in circles. We realized he had multiple starteeth (as Misako had told us) on his back.

Kai yelled, "Use your spinjitzu!"

Jay did as Kai told him and they flew off of him... And onto the sail. The starteeth then started eating at the sail. We used our spinjitzu to gather as many as we could and threw them overboard.

"They eat through metal too?" Jay asked, as they started eating a chain connected to the ship.

"I think we have a bigger problem!" Lloyd yelled. We then noticed the starteeth eating a big hole into the bounty. How are we going to stop them?

Annalise's POV

I felt hot and weak and helpless. I was lost in my own dream world. I noticed what dream I was having and started crying.

"No..."

"Don't leave me, Annalise..."

"No... Lloyd..."
