Chapter 4: A matter of time

Zane POV:

Myself and the rest of the ninja are on edge right now. Skylor has just managed to escape, and after reading that letter we all fear that she is after Lloyd. "What should we do now?" Nya asked. "I don't actually know." Cole replied. I stared out of the window, gazing into the night sky. I sighed not knowing the dangers of Skylor's wrath.

"Should we send out a search party." I ask, "It would be advised if we locate Kai and Lloyd." Jay looks at me with a whinny face. "But it's so cold outside Zane." Nya walks over to him and takes his hand. "Will you help us search Jay. For me?" Jay blushes and replies with a, "Hell yeah!" Nya is extremely good at manipulating him. "What are we waiting for?" I say. "Let's go get them!"

We rush outside in hopes of finding both Kai and Lloyd. We are aware that both Lloyd and Kai can look after themselves, but they have no idea who could be going after them. "Does anyone know which direction they took off in?" Nya asked us. I look back at her and say. "No, but they may have gone into the forest for cover."

Cole POV:

We began searching through the forest. Jay and I managed to walk into a tree as it was so dark. "Why did we split up again?" Jay asks for like the one millionth time. "We cover more ground this way." I replied annoyed. Jay just huffed. "Why are you being so boring earth brain?" I just glared at him. " Because it's late and Skylor is somewhere oh here trying to kill Lloyd and steal Kai."

"Did you eat a bad jelly bean or something?" Jay whined. It was my turn to huff now. "No I didn't zap-trap." I remembered back to when we first played the Jelly Bean Challenge. My mouth felt spicy just imagining that. Yuck! "Did you hear that?" Jay asked, snapping me out of my daze. I shake my head side to side and continue walking through the forest.

"Sooooooo.." Jay said, dragging out the letter 'o'. "Where do you think Kai and Lloyd actually are?" I stop walking and face him. "I keep telling you Jay, I don't know where they are." I turn back round and start walking... I do hope that they are okay.

Nya POV:

Me and Zane are looking around Ninjago city incase we run into them. Zane has been asking some of the locals if they had seen either Kai, Lloyd and/or Skylor. Everyone so far has said the same thing, "No." Zane and myself were currently sat in Wu's teas. We were having a cup of tea while discussing the matter at hand. I'm obviously worried. Kai is my brother and Lloyd is like my younger brother. I sigh.

"There is no need to be sad Nya. We will find them." Zane said, sensing my worry. I look down at my tea. "I know. They are both very talented and very strong. I just... I don't actually know." I lean back on my chair and stare up at the ceiling. "I contacted Sensei and told him everything. He will be back with us in a matter of days."

I will admit that it felt nice hearing some good news. I sip some more of my tea. "Do you actually drink tea Zane?" I ask him, trying to not worry about the boys so much. "Not really." He replied, "Though I can consume foods, water and oil I have never tried drinking tea." I smile at him. "Well, that's why there is something called a 'first time'..."

Kai POV:

Me and Lloyd were sitting under a tree. He fell asleep not to long ago. It must be hard for him... knowing that people are getting paid to take him down. It disgusts me. But seeing him here, innocent and calm, it makes me wonder why people would try to kill him. He may look helpless when he's asleep, but when he wakes up... there will be no tomorrow.

I accidentally nudge him and he falls sideways onto my lap. He doesn't stir. And I didn't move him. A sigh escapes my lips, and a thought pops into my head, 'The others don't know where we are... and we have no way of contacting them...' I look down at Lloyd again, wondering how he can sleep at this very moment. It's very dark and cold, and the floor is certainly not comfy...

A twig snaps...

Jay POV:

We seem to be endlessly walking around in circles. Cole is being a crybaby and won't answer any of my questions. We are still searching for Kai and Lloyd, and so far it isn't looking promising. I look forward and see Cole looking over a cliff. He seems to be looking at something.

"Hey Cole, what are you looking at?" I ask politely. He whips his head round and says, "I was trying to look for anything suspicious. And now we can look down on the forest." I didn't even think of that. "So that means when the sun rises we will be able to see everywhere in this forest." Cole continued. I knew this was a good idea, but we were both tired and it was at least another three hours until sunlight.

"I think we should take a nap. We have ages until morning." I say bluntly. Cole sighs and come away from the cliff edge. He sits down next to me. "That was the only smart thing you have said since we left Zane and Nya." Cole said smiling to himself. I pout. "We'll find you guys soon." I say, "I promise..."

Lloyd POV:

A twig snaps...

I shot up into a sitting position in a matter of seconds. Giving myself head rush. "Woah, you woke up quickly." Kai chuckled. I gave him a confused look then asked, "Did you hear that?" He nods. "I think it was just a squirrel or something, when the twig snapped it didn't sound like a human did it." I make an (o) face.

I start wondering wether or not we should head back yet. Kai has told me that Skylor was unconscious so we had nothing to worry about. I hoped anyway. "What now?" I ask Kai who is just staring at a tree. "I'm not sure. It's too dark for us to make it home safely." Kai says. Well that's just perfect. It looks like we are sitting ducks in this situation.

I smile. "It's hard to think that this all started by playing a simple 'Jelly Bean Challenge' game." I say not taking my eyes of Kai. He turns to me. "I know right. It's so stupid." Kai began, "I have never once told Skylor that I liked her. It just makes me glob our!" It's cute when he rants on like that. "You good there Kai?" I ask in between giggles. Kai then smiles and turns my head towards his. We stay like that for a couple seconds... he leaned forward and...

Unknown: "It's only a matter of time..."
