Chapter 1
The memories still haunt him.Even in his sleep.
~*~ "Dad.?" A sandy blonde boy asked timidly as he entered a dark room. He tried to pierce the darkness with his gray eyes but couldn't; it was just too dark for him.
"D-dad?" The boy shook and stammered as he groped for the light switch along the wall. The lights came on before he had even reached the light switch.
"Hunter.you've been a bad boy!" The older man raised his arm, bringing it down and slapping the young boy to the ground.
Hunter clutched the side of his face that he had been struck. He tried to stand up and retrieve his fallen teddy bear but was struck down again by his biological father. The smell of alcohol drifted in the air.
"Nobody's going to love you now. Nobody is going to want to take you in!" His father hissed. The older man kicked Hunter and then reached over, grasping the bear. "You're not worth my time." He threw the bear at the boy curled in a ball shape.
Hunter laid there, a bruise now making its mark under his eye and a slow but steady stream of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth already crusting on his chin in the cool air. ~*~
"Hunter!" Someone shouted, though he could barely hear it. "Hunter!" Hunter was shaken, awakening with a start. Sweat beads rolled down from his brow and he was cold, even though the window was close and it was quite warm outside.
"Hunter, are you alright, bro?" It was Blake that had awakened him and he groaned inwardly. He would have been glad if it had been some one else like Sensei or Tori, but no, it had to be Blake. His younger brother, the one he wanted to be strong for.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Fine, just a nightmare." Hunter replied, with what he hoped was a calm voice.
"What about?"
"Oh, nothing really. Just that Lothor had gotten rid of motorcross and then conquered the world." Hunter lied. He hated lying to his brother. He hated lying to anyone, actually.
"Yeah. That'll do that to a man." Blake laughed, now making his way over to his respective bed. Before he had gotten in, he shot a sideways glance at his brother, just to make sure. Hunter had laid down now, slowly drifting to sleep, or at least trying to. Turning out the lights, he whispered in the dark, "Night, bro."
~*~
Hunter awoke early, earlier than anyone else did, that is. Everyone was probably still asleep if not stalling the day in the warmth of his or her bed. Nodding to himself, he set off to the training room, feeling a need to exercise some of the antsy-ness that he had acquired last night because of his nightmares.
After a good hour or two of practicing and training, Hunter went to check up on his brother, Blake. Walking into the darkened room he saw that Blake was getting their riding gear together. He heard movement in the closet and went over to investigate.
"Hey, bro." Hunter greeted him with a confused expression. "What're you doing?"
"I'm getting our riding gear together." Blake answered, "I thought that much would be obvious." He continued to rummage through some more stuff, finally finding what he had been looking for. "Aha! Found it." Blake threw the glove on his bed and turned to Hunter. "C'mon bro! Suit up! No brooding today."
"Alright. But tomorrow, I get to brood over anything I want." Hunter said pulling off his shirt and pulling on his Case, the motorcross co. he seemed to favor, shirt and then moving on to other articles of clothing.
~*~
Click-Click. Kneeling by the track's third jump Rayven took pictures of the rider in yellow and red. Her deep violet hair moved along with the gentle breeze that seemed to come in from Blue Bay Harbor's beach. 'Now all I need is three more pictures and were off to the beach for more pictures.'
"That was awesome!" Rayven shouted to her friend enthusiastically, giving her a thumb up. She took the last snapshots and ran to the end of the track where she would meet her friend.
Leaning to the right, she passed a rider in yellow and smirked as he tried to catch up. 'Third jump already.damn were almost done here.' She mused going off the third jump and to the fourth jump. Two more riders to pass and one more jump to go and then she would have to go to the beach and surf with Arielle. A navy colored rider fell behind her and she now only had one more rider away. 'I'll get you on the turn.' She rode up to his side and noticed he rode a 250, grinning she decided she would test out his skills. They looked at each other and then straight-ahead at the turn that was in front of them. Taking the inside she passed him and went straight to the finish line.
"Danica! Over here!" Rayven shouted for her motioning her to go over there. Danica nodded and pushed her bike over to Rayven. Taking off her helmet, she grinned. "Why are you smiling?" Rayven asked knowing what might happen.
"No reason. Just remembering when you tried this." She motioned with her hand.
"Yeah, well, just to let you know you were getting some crazy time out there." She remembered the painful memory and was glad she stuck with skating, blades and board.
"So, when are you gonna start again?" Danica asked, curious of when she would start again.
"Well, Miss-Extreme-Sports," She playfully bantered. "We got some awesome pictures and you passed about 10 riders out there who were all trying to catch up with you. I think I'll start-" Rayven stopped short when she saw two of the riders Danica had passed walking up to them. "Tomorrow." She finished.
"Huh?" Danica turned to see why her friend was looking past her instead of at her. The crimson and navy riders were coming over. She sighed and shook her head as she turned briefly to her friend and gave a knowing grin. "No freakin comment, Rayven, NFC." Turning back to the two approaching persons, she placed her helmet on the handle of her bike.
"Hey," The Navy rider greeted them as the crimson rider followed suit. "We just wanted to come over and give you props on your time." He congratulated.
~*~
The wind blew his dirty blonde hair across his gray eyes. He followed his brother, who was leading him to congratulate some rider that had passed both of them on the track. 'The rider is a girl?' He mused, nodding his head as a greeting.
'Well she is kind of pretty. What am I saying?!?!' he thought. Hunter decided he would get to know her better later, maybe even after his brother leaves. He turned his attention back to his brother, the girl and her friend. Immediately, he could tell his brother had a thing for the girl with violet hair.
"What are your names?" Blake had asked.
"Danica and my friend, Rayven." Danica introduced the both. "You?"
"Blake and my brother, Hunter."
"Brother?" Rayven asked, her curiosity getting the better of her.
"Adopted" Hunter had offered. They seem to have accepted that and left it at that.
"What's the camera for?" Blake inquired as he motioned to the camera, which hung loosely around Rayven's neck.
"What?" Rayven looked confused for some seconds. "Oh! I was taking some pictures of Danica for a magazine," she bit her lip as she hopefully asked. "Mind if I take some of you?"
"Oh no. C'mon my bike is this way." Blake led Rayven towards his bike.
Tossing a glance over his shoulder he saw his brother posing next to his bike. Hunter muttered, "Show off." Hunter looked back up at Danica who had busied herself with putting her bike into the back of a truck. "Need any help with that?" Hunter asked, knowing she had everything under control.
"Not really, but you can if you want to help, go ahead."
Hunter walked up the ramp and settled next to Danica. Grabbing a hook, he secured it into the securing device as he threw the other end across the seat. Securing the other side, he stood up and walked down the ramp and out of the truck.
"Where are you headed?"
"The beach. We're going to get some shots on me ad Arielle surfing." Danica had turned away from her friend and Blake and was now facing him. He nodded and remembered that he was going to be there too, later in the day. On the occasion that Tori wanted to spend the day there with the team, including Cam.
"Hey, maybe I'll see you there. My friend wants to have a day at the beach with the team." He told her, giving her a smile that he would only give on a special occasion. He had no idea what had possessed him to do that, but with her, he liked it.
"Here they come." Hunter added with a rueful smile to Danica and a knowing smirk to his brother, Blake. She actually giggled, and he couldn't help but chuckle himself.
"You do know that if he doesn't stop showing off, he is going to trip up." Hunter watched his brother making his way up the slope. Blake jumped up on the last few feet off the hill, landing in front of Hunter and Danica. Rayven took her time up the hill, grinning as she went to Danica's side. Turning toward her friend, Danica saw that she was very much in love with new boy. Shaking her head she watched as Hunter was nudged by his younger brother.
"Well, we have to go to the beach now, bye Blake." Rayven said their next destination to him as a hint to go. "Bye Hunter."
"C'ya guys." Danica added causally
Hunter watched their retreating forms enter the truck and start it. Danica was in the driver's seat and she glanced back at him quickly with a smile. Hunter looked up and caught her smile. Giving a little and quick wave; so that no one would see it, he smiled a small smile. Blake, on the other hand, seemed to have caught this and turned toward his brother to see what this was all about.
"What was that about?" He inquired.
"What was what?" Hunter asked with an innocent expression. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh! Don't think I didn't see that! You so like her! Actually, I think you have a crush one her!" Blake accused.
Hunter just rolled his eyes and headed for their trailer that Kelly always seemed to bring when he, Dustin and Blake went riding. His bike was already loaded in the back and so was Blake's and that surprised him. He didn't remember loading his bike into the trailer, and he wondered if Kelly had done it for them. Beep-beep. His communicator went off.
Blake walked over to his brother, looking at him with a serious expression he didn't have a moment ago.
"Go for Hunter." Hunter answered. He grinned as a familiar voice answered the call.
"Where are you guys!?!?" Tori mockingly yelled at them, though you could hear a smile in her voice.
~*~
Danica turned around and gave Hunter a small smile before quickly turning around to pull away from the track.
"You like him." Rayven had finally stated.
"What?"
"You like him. And don't pretend, because it is possible for the leader of one of the most, I mean, the best of all ranger teams to actually fall in love." A silence hung in the air when Rayven had finished the statement. Turing to her friend, Rayven saw that she was in deep thought. "I know what you're thinking.You're thinking that it's too bad that they can never find out who we are."
A/N: Um.can you review and tell me what you think. Don't kill me though! It's my first PRNS fic! Ciao.
