Chapter 40
Did any of you guys notice that Bryn never told Kai why she helped her sister?
Cassie, Lloyd, Cole, and Zane stared at the screen dumbfound.
Cole sucked in air, "Well, I did NOT see that coming…" Cole commented at seeing that Bryn had knowingly planned the kidnapping.
Lloyd shook his head, "This is crazy! What are we even suppose to do about this! If we get Ninjago Gossip and Ava in trouble we have to drag Bryn into it to because… she is equally guilty… but she's… well, it's your call Cassie, what do we do?" Lloyd asked Cassie since Bryn was her or was her best friend and she was the one who was kidnapped.
Cassie frowned, "I…I don't believe… I don't know… Can I talk to her about this before we make any final decisions?" Cassie asked with a quivering lip.
Zane nodded, "That seems like the wisest choice-" Zane stopped at hearing the telephone ring and went to answer it.
Zane picked up the phone, "Hello this is Zane speaking how may I help you?" Zane said
After a few minutes of a mumbled conversation all Lloyd was able to make out was that this was bad and shocking, so really that told them nothing, and they barely ever got good news, which made sense, since it was their job to take care of bad things.
After what seemed like an eternity Zane finally hung up the phone, "That was the police" Zane informed the group.
Cole frowned, "What? What did the police want?" Cole asked
Zane frowned, "It's about Bryn and Ava… they know about everything" Zane explained.
Lloyd's eyes widened, "What do you mean they know everything?" Lloyd asked, not being able to help think about how creepy that sounded.
Zane shook his head in a regretful way, "Something went wrong with the camera… instead of just sending the live footage to us apparently it was sent to every screen in all of Ninjago... which wouldn't be possible…. Without Jay's elemental powers…" Zane explained to the ninja and Cassie.
Lloyd groaned, "That's just great!" Lloyd sarcastically said, "Well what do they want us to do now? I assume they are already looking to arrest Bryn and Ava" Lloyd guessed.
Cassie frowned, "How serious do you think the charges will be?" Cassie looked to Lloyd for an answer.
Lloyd bit his lip and frowned, "I hate to say it but, the charges will be pretty bad, I mean she openly admitted she planned the practically the whole thing, and that fact that you got injured is just going to make the charges even worse, even though they mostly my fault… sorry about that." Lloyd said as he nervously rubbed the back of his neck.
Cassie sighed, "Yeah… I figured they would be pretty bad…" Cassie finished.
Cole shrugged, "So Zane what did they ask of us, surly they want us to help them out with this since it deeply involves us, not to mention we figured out who did it." Cole pointed out.
Zane nodded, "they have a general idea of Ava's location, I wasn't informed about Bryn, but they want us to help apprehend Ava and Kai, Jay, and Nya go after Bryn, since they are the closest to her location at the moment." Zane explained.
Cassie frowned, "And, what about me?" She asked.
Lloyd raised his eyebrows, "You are NOT coming, this could be really dangerous you know, and not to mention you are already injured!" Lloyd said to Cassie, glancing at her broken foot.
Cassie rolled her eyes, "Aren't you guys trying to catch the CEO of a magazine company? Who just did this for a story? I doubt she's going to be very dangerous." Cassie said trying to persuade Lloyd and the others to let her come with.
Cole shrugged, "She's got a point. I don't see why it would be a problem if you came, not get involved." Cole said
Lloyd furiously shook his head, "Nope. Not happening. Just because she just did this for a story doesn't mean she won't put up a fight, for all we know she has a gun with her." Lloyd pointed out.
Zane nodded, "Lloyd's right she could be armed with a gun, so if Cassie were to come she would have to stay in the car, because she would be protected because of the bullet proof windows." Zane added, trying to make everyone happy
Lloyd groaned, realizing there was no way out of this, "Fine! Cass you can come, but stay in the car!" Lloyd instructed.
Cassie quickly nodded, started to get second thoughts on coming with, what if she did have a gun? Cassie would freak.
Kai Was staring at a wall like he was going to throw a grenade at it, and stayed like that as Nya explained they were going to try to find Bryn to bring to the police, when Kai noticed a problem, "How do the police know about this?" Kai asked
Jay froze this wasn't going to end well, Kai's mood was about to get a whole lot worse, "Well you see, I accidental might have zapped the camera…. And it was on every… yeah… every screen in all of ninjago…. So everyone sort of knows now?" Jay said unsure of Kai's reaction
Kai sighed, "Of course…. Why do I expect anything else…." Kai said as he grinded his teeth, trying really hard to not burn of Jay's face.
Nya shook her head, "Who cares how they know?! Now we have to focus on Bryn, and Kai I think you'd prefer finding rather than the police finding her." Nya commented hoping to calm down her brother.
Kai's expression soften ever so slightly, "Your right, let's stay on Bryn." Kai said as he ran into the streets.
Cassie, Lloyd, Cole, and Zane were currently in Kai's car slowly driving around looking for Ava's car. The police had found her phone had been thrown on the ground to prevent them from tracking her, but it was evident she couldn't have gotten very far, especially with the ninja's looking for her with Kai's car, which was diffidently their fastest car they owned, and faster than most race cars.
Cole sighed, "This is boring!" he wined, "I want to fight!" Cole complained, annoyed to be doing a job usually meant for the police.
Cassie raised her eyebrows, "You're making my life look VERY boring" Cassie commented.
Cole shrugged, "hey, you are the one who was just kidnapped this weekend; I'd say your life is a lot more interesting than most people." Cole continued.
Cassie frowned at the comment, thinking about how her best friend had done that to her. Lloyd noticed and squeezed her hand, "Hey it'll be fine, it's basically all over." Lloyd said trying to make Cassie feel better.
Cassie shrugged and gave a sad smile, "Yeah I guess it is…" Cassie said starting to space out.
Just then Zane's eyes turned a glowing blue, his falcon vision, "My falcon has found a vehicle that matches Ava's car she is on Oak Street" Zane informed the group.
Cole smirked and slammed his foot on the gas pedal, "Hold on!"
Cassie glanced out the window and saw things moving past them at, at an alarming rate, "How fast are we going?!" Cassie asked nervously.
Cole chuckled, "let's just say a police car wouldn't be able to catch us to give me a ticket for speeding." Cole explained
Lloyd nodded, "In other words, really fast!" Lloyd translated.
Cassie turned green, "Yeah… about that… I get motion sickness…" Cassie informed the group wondering if the group remembered this from Mega Monster Amusement Park.
Cole slammed on the brakes, "Okay you will NOT barf in this car! Kai will burn off my hair, seriously." Cole said as he started speeding by a lot less.
However the sudden slowing didn't help Cassie's motion sickness and she shut her mouth as tight as she could and clamped her hand over her mouth, hoping she wouldn't barf.
Lloyd turned to Cassie, noticing her green face and frowned, "Um, Cassie are you okay… you don't look so good… do you want me to take you back to the Bounty if you feel sick?" Lloyd suggested.
Cassie shook her head and put up her pointer finger signaling she needed a minute.
Lloyd nodded, "okay just tell me if you need anythi-" Lloyd stopped when realizing that the car was only a dozen years away, "Zane can your elemental powers reach the car's wheel?" Lloyd asked the ice ninja
Zane nodded, "Of course" Zane said as he opened the window to shoot his elemental powers at the car's wheel, encasing the back wheel in a thick shell of ice, also making the vehicle unable to move.
Cole and Zane got out of the car to approach Ava, and Cassie reached for the door to get out as well, but Lloyd grabbed her hand, "Nope, remember the deal we made? You can't leave the car." Lloyd reminded Cassie of their deal.
Cassie groaned, "But wouldn't it be more dangerous for me to be in the car alone? Wouldn't I be safer with you guys?" Cassie asked, trying to conceal the fact that she was kind of scared to be left alone with the lady that kidnapped her only a few feet away.
Lloyd nodded in an understanding fashion, "Oh okay, I'll text Zane and Cole and tell them I'm staying in the car." Lloyd said as he got out his phone and texted Cole and Zane.
Cassie nodded. For a few seconds nobody spoke, both debating to talk about Bryn or act normal and pretend it never happened, Lloyd however got straight to the point, "It will get better you know." Lloyd said to Cassie regarding Bryn's betrayal
Cassie turned to Lloyd not even asked about the "it", for they both knew what he meant, "I know… it's just… I would never expect Bryn to be such a big part of all of this, much less a part of it at all, it made me question who can I trust? I mean if my best friend betrayed my trust then what about everybody else?" Cassie asked.
Lloyd gave Cassie a small hug, "Hey it's okay I get it, but trust me it's unlikely the whole world is entrust worthy" Lloyd stopped for a moment when thinking of somthing, "Except fan girls, never EVER trust them, they are all evil" Lloyd said trying to lighten the mood a little.
Cassie gave a small chuckle, "Yeah I guess so… oh look! They just got Ava." Cassie commented when seeing Cole and Zane walk up to the car with a handcuffed woman resembling Bryn.
Lloyd looked out the window seeing multiple police cars show up, "Hey Cass, would it be okay if I contacted Kai, it's been a few hours and I assume they've found Bryn by now." Lloyd explained to Cassie.
Cassie eagerly nodded, "Yeah of course, and to be completely honest, I'm really curious to find out as well." Cassie told Lloyd who nodded and pulled out his phone to call Kai.
Lloyd put the phone on speaker making it possible for them both to hear the conversation. The phone rang a few times but fairly quickly Kai picked up his phone.
"Hello? Lloyd?" Kai asked
"Yeah, Kai I was just wondering if you guys found Bryn yet. Which I assume you guys have, it shouldn't have been very difficult since she could only get so far on foot." Lloyd commented fairly sure Bryn was already caught.
Kai sighed, "You're right, it should have been easy, and that's what has me concerned." Kai stated
Lloyd frowned, "What do you mean by, "and that's what has me concerned?" Lloyd asked
Kai sighed, "We can't find a single trace of Bryn, it's like she vanished…" Kai trailed off wandering deep into thought.
Lloyd furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at Cassie who shrugged, "What are you trying to say…" Lloyd asked nervously, he didn't like were this was going.
Kai sighed, "Lloyd don't you get it?" Kai asked, before continuing,
"Bryn is missing."
Haha! I did it! I finished What Destiny had in Mind! I can't believe I wrote a story so long! Before this I'd never written a story/essay longer than 8 pages! This chapter alone is 9 pages! Not to mention this story had not been planned out at all until chapter 26! One day I seriously just decided to write a fan fiction for Ninjago, sat down wrote it, coming up with it on the spot, and posted it that night without even proof reading it! I'd never guessed there would be a kidnapping involved, I honestly was trying to do a romance/drama…. But this (points at the story) is what happens when I write romance! People get kidnapped and go missing! Not romantic what so ever! XD
I also wanted to apologies for not having Lloyd and Cassie kiss AT ALL this entire story! This was brought to my attention by BrittNicoleFan who requested for Lloyd and Cassie to have their first real kiss in this chapter. I couldn't find a way to make it work, but after some planning for the next story I can assure you that it will happen soon… So be patient! I promise you it will be awesome! XD
Sooo I realize that I just left you guys with a major cliffhanger…. And I doubt you guys want to wait until September for the next book to come out (which is what I originally planned to do) So I was thinking that I could maybe post a chapter once every two weeks for the summer than do two a week for the fall, because most of my writing time will be dedicated to my next book, which I will name The Art Of Roasting Smores in honor of Cassie, but that's better than nothing right?
Now I will annoyingly tell you guys about this again. For the sequel to What Destiny Had in Mind it would be awesome if you guys would send in an OC (they should be around the ninja's age, and no elemental powers) and vote on my poll to help me chose what style of writing I will write What Destiny Stole from Us in. And if you already did either of those two things then thank you! It really helped me start to plan What Destiny Stole from Us!
Thank you guys for supporting me in my first ever fan fiction or any other type of book! I special thanks to all my story followers, people that favorite it, and all reviewers! These people are Brooke Vengence, INFJwriter, LabRatFlutieKat, NicoDiAngelo1394, The Mayor of Ninjago City, Guest, betycats31, jedimae10, lizzy16823, strange and proud of it, Kairocksrainbow, Windy, Anonymous 5, Panda, Manic at Midnight, LovetheLORD, and Guest2! I can't thank you guys enough for your support!
So I hope you guys enjoyed What Destiny Had in Mind! And hope you are all as excited as I am for What Destiny Stole From Us! (I've been freaking out about it ever since chapter 26!) And like always please rate and review!
