Talking

My Lloyd was in front of me instantly. "How did you get here?" He growled.

Liam smirked. "You think Mystake is the only one who knows where to find travelers tea? You'd be wrong. I know exactly where it grows and so I used it to come here. Now give me the princess."

"Over my dead body," Lloyd (Series) snarled.

Liam laughed. "Oh, that can definitely fit into my schedule."

"No!" I yelled moving between them. "No," I repeated. "I'll go just leave Lloyd alone."

"Y/n," my Lloyd snapped.

I looked at him. "Lloyd, I love you and I can't lose you. I'll go to save you and the others." I turned but felt Lloyd grab my wrist, turn me back around, and he kissed me. Hard. His tongue slid into my mouth and explored. I fought for the control and won briefly until managed to shove my tongue back out of his mouth and he slid his back into mine. I broke the kiss and backed up panting. Then I was standing beside Liam. He grabbed my wrist and grabbed the other Lloyd and we traveled which made me pass out. Again. 

When I woke up, I saw I was in a cell with the other Lloyd. I scowled. "He shouldn't have taken you," I grumbled as I stood up.

He glanced at me. "Well, you did say that you'd go for your Lloyd."

I shook my head. "I said him and the others which meant you and your team."

"He didn't seem to think so."

"Eso es porque es un idiota," I muttered.

Lloyd frowned. "What?"

I sighed. "I just called him an idiot."

"Oh."

I smiled a little. "You don't know Spanish, do you?"

He shook his head. "It's one of the subjects I fail at."

I chuckled. "it's a difficult subject. The only reason I know it is because my life was really boring before I was a princess."

"The other me loves you."

"Yes."

"Did he love anyone before you?"

"Harumi. She was the princess before me but she was evil though she is good now."

He nodded. "What did you call Chen back at the school."

I snickered. "Oh, I had just called him an ass."

He chuckled. "I better remember that word then."

"Want to hear some others?"

"Nah, that one was good."

I hesitated. "Lloyd, maybe you should fight back. You can't let them bully you."

He shook his head. "No one is supposed to know that I'm the Green Ninja."

"It's a big secret to keep," I said quietly. "Your mom should at least know."

"Does your Lloyd's mom know?" He demanded.

I nodded. "The whole city knows who he is."

"The whole city!?!"

"Yes."

"Do they know who the other ninja are?"

"Yes. Though Lloyd never calls Wu 'Uncle'."

"Odd."

I shook my head. "Not really. It's just how he is. Though his mom's name is Misako, not Koko."

He blinked. "So our moms have different names?"

"Different appearances too. His mom has gray hair and wears glasses. She's a researcher too."

Lloyd thought for a minute. "While my mom has orange hair, no glasses, and works in an office."

"Yes."

"Why does this Liam guy want you."

"He wants me dead," I said simply. "But he wants to do it slowly but torturing me first." Then I froze. "Hydra?" I called looking around frantically. She was gone. "Oh, no," I groaned.

He looked at me. "What's wrong?"

"Hydra was that lizard you saw sitting on my shoulder at the school. I always put her in my pocket before I use Travelers Tea because I'm worried I'll lose her. Now I have." I put my head in my hands and forced myself not to cry. Lloyd let me have my moment. I lifted my head. "Liam is so dead," I growled.

Lloyd looked at me. "I'll help you."

I smiled. "Thanks, but I can't ask you to get killed for me."

He stood. "That's what the other me would do."

"That's because he was my bodyguard and he loves me," I reminded him.

He rolled his eyes. "Fine, but I am a Ninja. It's my job to keep people safe and that includes you."

"This guy is different than your father." I knew I wouldn't be able to stop him from fighting but I still wanted to try.

He narrowed his eyes at me. "My father might be the only person I've ever fought but I can fight other people too."

"Lo dice el tipo que no lucha contra los matones," I muttered.

He frowned. "What?"

I shook my head. "Nothing."

He sighed. "If only I could understand Spanish. You could be cursing me out for all I know."

I snorted. "While that would be fun, I wouldn't do that."

"Why not?"

"Because I wouldn't like that to happen to me." 

He snorted. "'Treat others how you want to be treated' huh?"

I nodded. "Exactly."

"Is that what your boyfriend did to you?"

"He doesn't really trust princesses but he got over that."

Lloyd nodded. "That's because Harumi betrayed him, right?"

I smiled. "Yup. I'm nothing like her though. She was the villain back then while I'm the victim now."

"Not for long," Lloyd said determinedly.

I thought for a minute. "That's it! We can get a message to the others!"

He frowned. "How?"

But I went to the window and saw a squirrel eating. "Hello," I said softly.

It looked up. "What do you need?" She said coming over.

I told her what plant to look for and then how she could use it to travel to a certain place and get help for us. "Will you do it?" I asked hopefully.

She thought for a minute. "Sounds like it will be difficult. What do I get out of it?"

I forgot squirrels always wanted a reward. I looked around. "What is it?" Lloyd asked.

I sighed. "She wants a reward for helping us."

Lloyd came over. "How about a bag of nuts?"

Her eyes lit with happiness. "Deal." She ran off.

I turned to Lloyd. "Looks like your reward was accepted."

"Now what do we do?"

I sat down in a corner. "The one thing I don't want to do."

"Which is?"

"Now we wait," I grumbled. He sat beside me and we both waited.
