Chapter 21: Crystal's other side
(Crystal's POV)
I woke up in a cage at night with the girls all still knocked out on the metal floor. "Ow, my head," I reached for the back of my head and found a huge throbbing pain. "Oh Mother of Garmadon!" I yelled as it felt like an arrow drove into my skull. "Crystal?" I heard behind me. That voice. "Lloyd!" I yelled. I hugged him and cried a little. "Are you ok?" I asked as I looked at his face. There seemed to be no marks or scars, except… "Lloyd, where did that scratch on your cheek come from?" He felt his scratch with his hand. "A snake scratched me when he put me in here," he said. "Ok, Lloyd," I said "Now cover your ears. I don't want you to hear me yell." He did as I said and I put my hands on the bars of the cage. "PPYYYTTTTHHHHHOOOORRRRRR! YOU GET OUT HERE YOU BROTHER SNATCHING COWARD! I'LL RIP YOUR FACE OFF!" I screamed and yelled and shook the cage. I woke the serpentine who were asleep and attracted the ones that were awake. "What is she doing?" a hyphnopri said. "I'M TRYING TO KILL PYTHOR YOU IGNORANT BOOBS! NOW WHICH ONE OF YOU SCRATCHED MY BROTHER'S FACE?!" No one spoke up. I pulled myself together and turned to Lloyd and I uncovered his ears. "Lloyd," I asked him "which one scratched you?" "That one," he said pointing to a fangpire. "Alright, now cover your ears back up and turn around. This isn't gonna be pretty." He covered his ears and turned to face the other direction. I started by gesturing the fangpire to me. He stepped up thinking I couldn't hurt him. Then I grabbed his neck and started choking him. I kneed him in the stomach and I bit his neck. Then I head butted him and he fell to the ground. "ANYONE ELSE WANT A PIECE OF THIS MOTHER F*****S! YEAH I DIDN'T THINK SO YOU SCALEY A** PIECES OF S***! DON'T MESS WITH A GARMADON!" Their eyes seemed to pop out of their heads as I huffed and puffed at them. I tapped Lloyd's shoulder and he turned around. He saw the snake on the ground and smiled at me. I hugged him and snarled at the snakes, which backed up. All accept two that fell backwards and scrambled behind others. "Now," I said "show me your idiot king, Pythor." Three snakes left and returned with Pythor followed by the four other generals. "Well, well, well. If it isn't a cage of Garmadons," he said smiling. "Cut the crap Pythor," I said "either set us free, or I get furious." He laughed at my statement. "What could you do in that ca…" He was cut off by me pointing to the unconscious snake on the ground. "Listen Pythor," I said "I have another side to myself. One that doesn't appreciate my little brother getting snatched and scratched by hideous, ugly, and smelly snakes. Don't mess with a Garmadon girl unless you have a death wish, dipwod!" He hissed and slithered away with the other generals. The serpentine went back to what they were doing and one dragged the unconscious one to a room. I then went to wake the other girls. I saw Mag had a big dried blood mark on the back of her head. "Oh my," I said checking the wound before I woke her. "What?" Lloyd asked hugging my back. "It's ok Lloyd. Mag just has a minor wound. Good news is it can be healed. We just need Molly." "Why Molly?" "She uses light rays to heal wounds," I said shaking Molly awake. "Ow, my head. What happened? I was asleep in our room and then serpentine," she said rubbing her head. "Molly, we're in a cage in Orabouras with Lloyd," I said. Her eyes flew open when she heard Lloyd's name. "Lloyd, you're ok!" she said hugging Lloyd. I saw his face get red and he got nervous. He so liked her! "Molly," I said prying her off of Lloyd "we need you to heal Mag, alright." "Ok," she said. She walked over and sat down next to Mag and looked at the injury. She pulled her head back a bit but then closed her eyes and laid Mag's head into her lap. She took a deep breath in and put her hand over the wound. Her hand glowed yellow and white, completely covering the head injury. When the glow stopped, she removed her hand and the wound was gone. "She'll be fine when she wakes up," Molly said turning to us. Then Ally and Mag both woke up and looked around. "What just happened?" asked Mag holding the back of her head.
After explaining a long story, in which I avoided saying certain words in front of Lloyd and Molly, we were all caught up. "You might have a scar," Molly told Mag "but it's healed." "Thank you Molly," Mag said while rubbing her scar. Then we chose to sleep. It was best that whenever we get out we were well rested. I hoped the guys would come. Zane must be so worried about me. And Cole must be panicking after seeing Mag's blood. I can't imagine how angry Kai must be at the snakes. He'll want every snake, serpentine or not, to be killed as they come. I stopped thinking and we all huddled together for warmth. Lloyd laid with two girls on each of his sides. Molly pressed a bit against him. I smiled as I closed my eyes and nodded off to sleep.
