You always do. :-) Life gets in the way, doesn't it. Yay!!! I was so scared you had left when I stalked you and saw you hadn't posted in awhile.... :-( But then I saw you had posted and rushed back. Lols!
{JAMMERS! 66 only!} OK,so long story short. My Mom was diagnosed with a rare desease... (I can't spell and auto correct didn't pick it up... *Facepalm*) But she's doing well, thank goodness, but I just really needed to get it out because, y'know, only a few friends... But anyways, the main thing that happened with her. Is it's treatable, but incurable. Non fatal or anything like that tho, thank goodness. But anyways, anything new with you??
It 'tis a gift. [a] Jk. It can. For good (or bad) reasons. Preferable good. Thanks for caring.
{JAMMERS! -Emmy- ONLY!} Omg! I am so sorry Emmy! I will pray that she gets better. I'm sorry. At leas t it's non fatal. That's interesting though. My Mom told me yesterday that a good friend of mine (She's an older lady, so I doubt it's your mother.) had gotten Liver Cancer. It's also non-curable, but is treatable.
Anyway, I am doing well. I got back from my Mission Trip Saturday and I had to drive with a driving instructor Monday and Tuesday.

Haha! Amen to that. :-P Yeah. (Yes, always good. :-)) Haha, that's what we're going to call it, caring. (Not feeling guilty for not talking in months...)
{JAMMERS! -K66- ONLY!} Eh, it is what it is. (A direct quote from her) Thanks, it's mainly just managing symptoms. ;-) Oh that is too weird. But no, she doesn't have cancer. What she has is nicknamed C.R.E.S.T. but it's better known name is Limited Scleriderma. Which basically only effects about 400,000 of the population. But honestly it could be so much worse, and I am so thankful for that. :-) overall she's doing good tho.
That's great!! Awesomesauce! Was it fun and where'd you go?? :-)))
Ooh! Gurl! I hope you did well! One more yr for me still.
How bad was your instructor? Sorry, I'm nervous for my yes, but y'know how it is. :-P

I cannot keep avoiding telling my Mom, nor can I be under their care. I brought this up to Rose the other day.
"You could run away."
"Where to?" I had countered.
"I'm not just a figment of your imagination. I live in the real world." I pondered on this for a minute.
"What is your story? You're backstory, I mean."
"That will be a story for another time."
"Ok... Why do you need my memories?" She had fell silent and walked away, causing me to wake up that day.
I sigh. I decide to take a nap, apologize to Rose, and ask her where she lives. I close my eyes just as the door opens.
"I've had enough of this!" I try to ignore Kai's voice and fall asleep. "Wake up!" I get pushed off the bed as soon as he says it. I let out a soft moan, telling myself not to get mad. Then, my mind jumps to when he pushed my father into the lava. I try to just stay on the ground.
"Enough. Patience is the key with this, " Wu's voice says. Then I'm up. Feeling like I have no control over myself, I lunge for Kai. Wu is standing next to him, but that doesn't stop me. I hear someone yelling, and i t takes me a minute to realize it's me. I knock the two of them down. Then, I get up and run out the door, seeing this as my chance to get out of here. I jump off the balcony and form my energy dragon. Going off in a random destination.
****
I land at the monastery. I land and begin taking deep breaths. My stomach begins to growl. I got so caught up in the moment, I forgot to go get some food. I sit down and try to calm down so I can think.
"Lloyd!" I run over towards the wreckage and hide within, thinking it's one of the Ninja. "I know you're here. Come out. " I turn around to find Rose. Relieved, I hurry over to her. We kiss, happy to be together.
"How did you find me?" I ask.
"I know you." I laugh and kiss her again. "Come on. Let's go home and eat." I take her hand as she leads me down the mountain.
***
"We're almost there, I promise." We've been walking for what feels like forever. I am super hungry and I'm beginning to feel drowsy.
"I can't go on." I breath out. She manages to catch me before I fall. She's stronger than she looks.
"It's okay. Do you think you could hop on my back?" Confused, I nod. "Ok. Once you jump on, you can fall asleep." With that, she let's me go. I catch my balance, and open my eyes. A brown horse is standing next to me. "Hurry up and jump on." Not asking anything, I hurry and hop on. I fall deeply asleep afterwards.
***
I wake up on a soft bed. Without opening my eyes, I smile at the comfort. Then, yesterday's events start catching up with me. I sit up quickly to see that I'm not on the Bounty. I sigh with relief and lay back down. The room is a dark gray, along with the bed sheets. There is a single window on one of the walls that is allowing daylight in. It is the only light source. The door opens and Rose walks in.
"Morning, Love," she smiles. I can't help but smile back.
"Morning. Where might I get some food around here?" She giggles.
"Right here." She pulls a tray of food out from behind her. It is loaded down with breakfast items. I begin to reach for it, but she pulls it out of my reach. "Not so fast. You gotta prove yourself." I give her a fake look of surprise and then agust.
"I think I have after that long walk." She smirks at me, as she ponders over this.
"Ok," she says reluctantly with a smile, and gives me the tray. I begin eat happily. "So..." She looks at me with a huge, mischievous grin. "What are your plans for the day?" I raise my eyebrows and look at her without turning my head; my mouth hovering wide open with my fork, food on it, inches from entering my mouth.
I close my mouth, swallow hard, and ask, "Are you serious?" She laughs as I continue to eat, more slowly this time.
"No. Good grief, take a joke, Lloyd." I let out the breath I was holding. "We might be able to have the full day to ourselves. It depends if I get called to work." I smirk at her.
"Work?" I ask. She blushes. "Like... money?" She laughs again.
"No, silly. It's something I can't tell you, yet." I ponder on this for a minute.
"Is it why you had to take my memories?" She bites her lower lip and looks away. She looks adorable. "Ah." Then a thought occurs to me: It seems I have been hanging with the Ninja before my memories were taking. Why else would they be the first thing I see when I wake up? If I was so mad at them for destroying Dad, why did I still hang out with them? Rose looks at me, almost as if she was reading my mind. Her eyes go wide with fear. Then, another thought clicks. "You're reading my mind." She blushes with embarrassment. "You always have been, haven't you? Haven't you?" She doesn't answer, but she does look away. I move the tray off my lap, to fed up to eat anymore.
"Lloyd."
"What else have you been doing with my head?" I demand.
"Nothing, I swear. I..." She sighs, trying to choose her words carefully. "It's my job to "borrow" memories, give them back, and make sure their owner is not led astray."
"Astray from what?" She bites her lip immediately. "You've been tampering with my head."
"No!" I can see the lie right through her eyes. I raise my eyebrows again. She winces. "I'm not suppose to tell you all this."
"Fine. Don't." I uncover and start to head to the door. I'm still in my ninja suit.
"Wait! Lloyd!" Her voice sounds surprised, and almost panicked. "I'm sorry." She tries to grab my hand to stop me. "Lloyd! Wait! Please!" I don't really know where I'm going. I just keep moving. There are at least a hundred hallways, and they all look the same.
"Fix thisss." I stop dead in my tracks, and Rose runs in to me afterward. The voice was only a faint whisper, but I could tell it apart from anywhere.
"Did you hear that?" I ask.
"Um."
"Remain ssssilent."
"No," Rose lies. I turn around and look at her in the eye. She had.
"It's there anyone else in the building?"
"No." She looked at me confused.
"Then why is Pythor in your head, and how am I hearing him?!" Then I blackout.
I cannot keep avoiding telling my Mom, nor can I be under their care. I brought this up to Rose the other day.
"You could run away."
"Where to?" I had countered.
"I'm not just a figment of your imagination. I live in the real world." I pondered on this for a minute.

That's great!! Awesomesauce! Was it fun and where'd you go?? :-)))
Ooh! Gurl! I hope you did well! One more yr for me still.
How bad was your instructor? Sorry, I'm nervous for my yes, but y'know how it is. :-P
That's cool. (Lol.) It's easy as long as you practice before it. (Really? I haven't noticed. Jk.
Already done. And amazing!!!! (So not just saying that. Tbh absolutely honest. I kinda was like, ah pshhhhh. When I saw you were writing in color.) But honestly. I need so much MOARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Lol. I'm glad you like it. Fun Fact about the color: I've been using the same green, yet it seems darker in the prelude for some reason. \/( )\/ Oh well, glad you like it.
Yeah, I've had others tell me it's not bad, so here's hoping. Lols. (What??? Did I hide it too well??? :-O O-o)

I dream of Pythor. Which is a little weird and disturbing. It's not even all my memories, just ones where I saw him. Makes life a little confusing. However, it proves that I was hanging out with the ninja after my father's "death". This also leads me to believe that I can regain my memories on my own a little, too. In other words, I am highly doubting that Rose wants me to see all this.
Then, I realize that I am on the bed again. I listen for any signs that would give away another living being in the room. Hearing nothing, I open an eye. I am all alone in the room I woke up in earlier. I let out a sigh of relief. Knowing what I must do, I close my eyes and concentrate really hard on the "memory".
"Dad!" I am back inside the volcano.
"Okay," I tell myself. "Look for any signs." I remember in the "confession" that some areas seemed fuzzy. Instead on focusing on the main scene and "my" yelling, I scan the landscape. That's when I see it. It appeared for a split second and went away just as quick. An area where the landscape went fuzzy. Relieve, happiness, and joy begins to fill me, and I almost feel like I could fly. It wasn't real after all! But why did Rose want me to see that? I begin to consider this as the darkness begins to take over the scene. As soon as I had seen the memory, anger seemed to be the only thing I could channel whenever I saw or thought of the Ninja. Does this mean she wants me to take out the Ninja? If that is true, I cannot stay here. However, she is in my head, which means she could probably cause me to do more harm at home. That means I can't go there either. I sigh in frustration. Then an idea comes to my mind. Ronin! He may not be the best person ever, but he's better than nothing.
After I come up with my plan, I put it in the back of my head, and think about just waking up. I sit up and stretch. Then, the door opens and Rose comes in. She's biting her lower lip. I also keep Pythor and me trying to escape earlier in the back of my head. I try to just focus that she's in the room and other simple things. I study her. Her frame, her hair, her eyes, etc.
"Good," she clears her throat. "morning, love." I give her the biggest smile ever. She thinks she wiped my head. Might as well make it seem that way.
"Morning. What will we be doing today?" Relieved, she relaxes and returns the grin that I'm giving her.
"Well, I thought we could go exploring some of the rooms. There are a lot, and only I know how to get where we want to go." I raise an eyebrow.
"Rooms? Why not go outside?" I look at the window. "You know. With real sunshine." She glances outside, unsure. I have her right where I want her. "Please?" She starts to bite her lip. I raise my eyebrows. She eventually lets out a sigh of relief.
"I guess going outside couldn't hurt. We could go to the park. It's near here. Though, we'll have to do something about your outfit." I smile as she leads me out of bed and down a few halls. We go in a room that is full of clothes. Not just any clothes, but men clothes. They're really disguises. For a lot of men. I swallow hard. "Something wrong?" I look down at Rose. She looks at me with concern.
"No, uh, I'm just trying to figure put what to dress up as. There are a lot of choices." I give her a smirk and fill it full of love.
She blushes and says, "Well. First, we would have to figure out what would be best. I'm thinking..." She walks over to a rack a few steps away and pulls out an outfit. "This one!" She holds it out where I can see it. It's a red T-shirt, blue jean shorts, a pair of brown flip-flops, and a red cap. So much for green. I think.
"It's great," I say with a smile. She blushes, hands me the outfit, and leads me back to my bedroom so I can change. I quickly change. When I open the door, Rose has changed her appearance, too. Her once olive skin has lost it's darkness. Her shoulder-length dark hair had turned blond and comes to her ears, barely even her neck. Her blue eyes have turned into a dark-chocolate brown. She's also shorter in height, and almost looks as if she had gained a pound or two. She's wearing a purple short-sleeve shirt, blue overalls, sneakers, and a dirty black cap. It's so different that it takes me a minute to realize it's her.
"Ready?" She's changed her voice so it has a bit of an accent, and is a little higher pitched.
"Uh, yeah."
"I thought it wasn't fair that you had to dress up, so I thought I would do it with you. Besides, I find it fun." I just nod my head and smile. She eventually leads me outside. All we have to do is walk across the street. However, the park itself looks very familiar. It's probably nothing. I try to convince myself, hoping that I don't unlock a memory and make Rose suspicious enough to dig through my head. She leads me to a neatly laid-out, red and white checkered blanket spread out on the grass. There is a brown picnic basket on it. She sits down on the blanket and looks up at me, smiling. I smile back, deciding this is my only chance. I try to force one thought into her head: Go into a deep sleep. She begins to blink, almost like she's fighting to keep her eyes open.
"Lloyd?" She almost yawns the question out. "Are you sure you want to be out here? They..." This time, she really does yawn. "They might find you out here."
"Who?" I ask as I go down to lay next to her.
"The Ninja." Her eyelids begin to fall, slowly.
"Oh, them. I'm promise you, I'm right where I want to be." I smile. This helps her relax even more, and, soon enough, she lets out a little snore. Perfect! I get up and run in a random direction, trying to guess where Ronin might be.
********************
I wish I could call the Ninja for help. I have been walking for a while, and I'm starting to get hungry. I'm starting to think I should of grabbed that basket. Oh well. I'm in the desert, almost near the train tracks. Then I hear a train horn. I turn around to see it heading in the direction I'm going in. I almost yell out in joy. I use airjitzu to get in a car easier, and I take a nap once I'm safely inside.
********************
"Betrayal!" Rose is furious with me. Her back is turned so I can't see her face. I had forgotten that we could be connected through dreams.
"Dang it," I whisper to myself.
"What was that?" I bite my lip imediently. Then I think of something.
"It's not my fault. You went to sleep and the Ninja found me."
"Then why wasn't I captured?"
"I walked away a few steps to take in the beauty of the park. It seemed familiar." She turns around and looks at me. Anger and sadness show on her face. "The next thing I knew, I got grabbed."
"Where do they have you captive?" Uh oh.
"I don't know," I lie. "They blindfolded me." She nods her head, looking down. A wave of guilt begins to rush over me, and I almost start to tell her the truth. I walk over to her and tilt her head up so she can see me. "Hey. If there's one thing I know, it's that you'll find me soon." As soon as it leaves my mouth, we both know it's true.
I dream of Pythor. Which is a little weird and disturbing. It's not even all my memories, just ones where I saw him. Makes life a little confusing. However, it proves that I was hanging out with the ninja after my father's "death". This also leads me to believe that I can regain my memories on my own a little, too.

She holds it out where I can see it. It's a red T-shirt, blue jean shorts, a pair of brown flip-flops, and a red cap. So much for green. I think.
"It's great," I say with a smile. She blushes, hands me the outfit, and leads me back to my bedroom so I can change. I quickly change. When I open the door, Rose has changed her appearance, too. Her once olive skin has lost it's darkness. Her shoulder-length dark hair had turned blond and comes to her ears, barely even her neck. Her blue eyes have turned into a dark-chocolate brown. She's also shorter in height, and almost looks as if she had gained a pound or two. She's wearing a purple short-sleeve shirt, blue overalls, sneakers, and a dirty black cap. It's so different that it takes me a minute to realize it's her.
"Ready?" She's changed her voice so it has a bit of an accent, and is a little higher pitched.
"Uh, yeah."
"I thought it wasn't fair that you had to dress up, so I thought I would do it with you. Besides, I find it fun." I just nod my head and smile. She eventually leads me outside. All we have to do is walk across the street. However, the park itself looks very familiar. It's probably nothing. I try to convince myself, hoping that I don't unlock a memory and make Rose suspicious enough to dig through my head. She leads me to a neatly laid-out, red and white checkered blanket spread out on the grass. There is a brown picnic basket on it. She sits down on the blanket and looks up at me, smiling. I smile back, deciding this is my only chance. I try to force one thought into her head: Go into a deep sleep. She begins to blink, almost like she's fighting to keep her eyes open.
"Lloyd?" She almost yawns the question out. "Are you sure you want to be out here? They..." This time, she really does yawn. "They might find you out here."
"Who?" I ask as I go down to lay next to her.
"The Ninja." Her eyelids begin to fall, slowly.
"Oh, them. I'm promise you, I'm right where I want to be." I smile. This helps her relax even more, and, soon enough, she lets out a little snore. Perfect! I get up and run in a random direction, trying to guess where Ronin might be.
********************
I wish I could call the Ninja for help. I have been walking for a while, and I'm starting to get hungry. I'm starting to think I should of grabbed that basket. Oh well. I'm in the desert, almost near the train tracks. Then I hear a train horn. I turn around to see it heading in the direction I'm going in. I almost yell out in joy. I use airjitzu to get in a car easier, and I take a nap once I'm safely inside.
********************
"Betrayal!" Rose is furious with me. Her back is turned so I can't see her face. I had forgotten that we could be connected through dreams.
"Dang it," I whisper to myself.
"What was that?" I bite my lip imediently. Then I think of something.
"It's not my fault. You went to sleep and the Ninja found me."
"Then why wasn't I captured?"
"I walked away a few steps to take in the beauty of the park. It seemed familiar." She turns around and looks at me. Anger and sadness show on her face. "The next thing I knew, I got grabbed."
"Where do they have you captive?" Uh oh.
"I don't know," I lie. "They blindfolded me." She nods her head, looking down. A wave of guilt begins to rush over me, and I almost start to tell her the truth. I walk over to her and tilt her head up so she can see me. "Hey. If there's one thing I know, it's that you'll find me soon." As soon as it leaves my mouth, we both know it's true.
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! *Runs around room screaming* *Sits down* yeah, so it's MOAR time. :-P
Thanks for caring.
