A Field Of Innocence
By ZaneLoverFan88

Wars were still raging on between The Dark Island and Ninjago. It had been 2 years since it had started. What happens when Prince Zane, a kind and gentle noble ninja Prince of Ninjago stumble across a girl of high ranking with no memories at all? Being Zane, he took her under his care and swore he'll be there for her until she regains her memories. But a forbidden love had sparked.

Chapter 1

I groaned as I sat up, the grass underneath shifted. Then a sharp pain went through the back of my head and my hand flew to it. Where am I? Who am I? I looked around again but gasped. Am I in a battlefield?! There were copses on the ground with either arrows or missing body pieces with blood pouring out. I heard cries of people in agony or battle cries.

"Release the arrows!" I heard a raspy dark and deep voice.

I turned my head to the right to see a group of stoned people in red amour. Are there such people? They might not be people at all! I saw a line of archers forming, loading their arrows. I know I have to move but my body was paralyzed from shock! At that moment, I felt another body pushed against mine and we rolled into the trees that were on the sides of the battle field. I felt this strange person places their arm around my waist and pull in me into their chest. It's not a girl. I wanted to look at my saver but my face was in his chest and I couldn't move in his grip. Then I heard a wiz of arrows flying through the sky.

"W-who are you?!" I managed to say, my voice was trembling with my body.

"Don't move." He said softly.

I tilt my head back to see a pale neck. I couldn't see his face but I could see just a bit of his whitish-blonde hair. I can feel his grip wrap around my waist tighter as if to protect me. Maybe he knows me… But how did I end up in a battlefield? Was I part of his army? I can't be with the other army, they're stone! Maybe I have met this guy before…. Arg! Why can't I remember anything?!

"Let's go!"

He suddenly pulled me into his arms and sprinted out of forest and across the battlefield. I squealed out from the speed he was running. People can't run this fast…. Wait, how did I know that? Maybe I might know a tiny bit… But how can this man have so much strength?

"Retreat!" I heard the dark and raspy voice again that belonged to the stone warriors… I think commander…

I looked and saw them running away in the same direction. The man who had picked me up stayed silent as he stopped running and also watched the other team run away. His face was hard and stern. He looked around again and ran to some bushes on the other side and put me down. Then I saw him smile. It was gentle and soft… Wait… How do I know if this isn't a trap? He might kill me!

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." His voice was really calm, soft and gentle like his face.

I looked at his face. It was pale like his neck… Is it because he was scared or is it just natural? His icy blue eyes sent shivers down my spine. I stayed quiet. I didn't say that's alright or anything like that.

"It's alright; don't be scared, I'm not going to hurt you."

And he reached out his hand and went to pat me on the head but-

"Ouch…" I muttered as he touched where I might've hit my head before.

His face turned into one of those concern looks. He was about to ask something but someone calls out from somewhere in the battlefield.

"Lord Zane!" Lord?! Zane?! He's the commander of an army? Zane… That's a nice name. Wait… I can remember something. He's the heir to the Ninjago throne! Zane Julien! "Zane, you bloody gave me a heart attack when you ran into that rain of arrows!"

A buffed man shouted. His armour was black compared to Zane who was white. This man was very tall, big and muscular compared to Zane. His shaggy black hair cut fell down his face, just above his brown eyes.

"Sorry about that," Zane chuckled softly. How can he be laughing at a time like this?! Then I saw another 3 men in amour also ran towards us. They acted like I wasn't even here… Although Zane would be their 1st objective to look after.

"Zane, remember your position, you can't just run into something like that and get killed!" A man with messy hair said in a bit of a mean way. His amour was red.

"Yes, I know my position Kai and I'm always thinking about that," Zane smiled. So this hot-headed guy must be named Kai. "But I could not risk a life of a person who's not a threat of this war or should be in a battlefield anyway."

Now they all looked at me. But Kai leaped at me and pinned me to the ground.

"Ah!"

"Kai! What are you doing?!" I heard Zane yelled. Kai's burning amber brown eyes glared into my. My head was starting to spin again and throb in pain.

"She might be an assassin!" He hissed, not taking his eyes off me.

"She's just a girl you idiot." Someone said but I couldn't see anything but his face.

"You're being ridiculous Kai!" I heard the buff man said then I felt the red armored man being lifted off me. I could have been an assassin… But why can't I remember? I felt someone helped me off the ground a place an arm around my shaking body. It was Zane.

"Sorry about Kai, he's just a hot-headed jerk." A man in Jay said… I think he was the one that shouted to Kai that he was an idiot.

"I'm here you know!" Kai snapped as he was being held in the buff guy's arm.

"So, who are you?" A young man in green asked, his blonde hair had a bit of mud.

"I-I don't know…" I muttered.

"Great, now you made her lost her memory." The blue one said again.

"Jay, be nice," Zane said to the blue one.

"No… I woke up in the battlefield with no memory…"

"What?!"

"What do you mean you don't know?!" Kai shouted.

"Cole, hold him tight alright?" Zane asked and Cole nodded. "Kai, you're scaring her!"

"I don't care, she might kill you!"

"But there's no human on the Stone Army's team idiot." Jay added.

"Who knows…?" Kai muttered. Zane looked down at me and lifted my chin so I stared into his eyes.

"Can you tell me your name?" He asked. I shook my shaking head. I tried remembering but I couldn't. "What do you think it is?"

"I think… its Sakaya…" I said in a tiny voice.

"You have to at least remember your own name!" The one is green exclaimed. I haven't heard his name yet.

"Lloyd she lost her memory, go easy on her." Zane said in a gentle voice. Lloyd, that his name.

"Go easy on her?!" Kai shouted, his loud voice made me jump.

"I told you to stop scaring her!" Zane shouted as he wrapped his other arm around my shoulder as he lifted the current one to the back of my head.

"Ouch!" I gasped.

"Hmm… It's swelled up a bit when you might've hit the ground earlier." He said. His face turned into a frown, his eyes turned soft with sympathy.

"Did you fall off a horse?" Cole asked.

"I… don't remember." I sighed, looking down to the blood stained ground.

"She could have lost her memory while doing that."

"You might be right Cole… She might have fallen off her horse and rolled down a side of the hill… Her kimono is all ripped and covered in dirt" Lord Zane muttered.

"You can really notice so much in such little time?" Lloyd asked. He only smiled gently.

"Her Kimono looks quite expensive… Do you think she could be a daughter of a high ranking class?" I heard Jay asked… A daughter of a noble family?

"Could be possible…" Cole sighed.

"She could be an assassin! She might just be playing tricks with us!" Kai shouted again. I heard Zane sighed. He was about to open his mouth but we all heard a horse, galloping through the dead bodies and leaping over them as well. It's was a beautiful chestnut horse with a white strip from its forehead and to its nose. The hooves, mane and tail were also white. The horse began to trot and made its way closer to us… to me. Its blue eyes looked into my brown eyes.

"Kuri." I muttered without realizing.

"Is this your horse Sakaya?" Zane asked. I nodded as Kuri rubbed his face against mine and I couldn't help but giggle. "At least you can remember a bit. That's a quite handsome horse you have."

"And clever, trying to find its owner in an area of dead bodies… Horse normally gets too scared." Jay said. I kept my eyes on Kuri. Will he be able to show me the way back home?

"But there's still one question that remains… Why is someone of higher ranking is up in mountains with no one else at this hour?" It was true… I stared up at the night sky as I held Kuri's muzzle in my hands next to my face.

"I-I don't know…" I whispered. I looked at them all; Kai was on longer in Cole's grasp. How come I can only remember my first name and my horse?

"Lord Zane, are you sure we can trust her story?" Kai asked, still trying to prove I'm guilty.

"Kai, what is so suspicious about it?" Zane questioned shooting a glare at Kai but the hot-headed warrior didn't say anything. Zane had suddenly grabbed my wrist.

"She's still trembling Kai, plus those eyes don't show a liar," Zane defended me. I could feel my face burning up. "Plus she had fear written all over her body when I found her."

"If she is an assassin, then don't blame me for not warning you." Kai snapped. I pulled my wrist out of Zane's grip and went back to stroking my horse.

"What do you think?" Zane questioned the others.

"Well… Her movement is nothing like an assassin. Assassins are very swift and graceful." Jay replied.

"Assassins normally don't need a horse." I heard Lloyd next replied.

"And the Overlord will never accept those from Ninjago." Cole said his opinion.

"But Overlord might want us to think that!" Kai shouted.

"Who's the Overlord?" I asked softly.

"The general of the Stone Army, he lives on the Dark Island… although Zane, Kai does have a point but she can't possibly be an assassin." Jay added.

"But like I said, she doesn't look a lair to me." Zane said with a gentle smile.

"Lord Zane…" I muttered.

"Ah, you know who I am."

"I only figured it out a couple of minutes ago. You're the prince of Ninjago."

"Correct," And he smiled a bit brighter. "But can you remember your parents?"

"No… I'm sorry," I sighed. "I just can't seem to remember anything else…"

"Why don't you stay at our base until you can remember?"

"What?!" Kai shouted.

"Well I can't leave her here," Zane said gently. "And it's until she can remembers… Let's go."

That's the end of the first chapter! I hope you like it! Please review!
