Chapter two: survival of crimson.

"No!" I heard Skye scream as the blade went through my throat whoever attacked me yanked the blade out of my throat roughly. I couldn't breathe my vision was growing black and fear coursed through my veins. I still clung to my little brother who was ice cold. Skye ran over to me and held me in her arms. I tried telling her that I loved her but I found that I couldn't talk. I kept looking at Blake's body still in my arms hoping Skye would get what I was trying to imply and that was to take Blake home. She must have got the cue and she picked Blake up and ran away. As I watched her go I knew I was close to death. Every little movement hurt horribly and my throat burned like hell. I couldn't see much of anything anymore I moaned loudly. I heard someone walking towards me and I hoped that it was Skye but I could only see a vague outline. It wasn't until I heard their voice that I relaxed. Skye collapsed next to me and held me she kissed me but I had no energy to kiss back. I struggled to take my morpher off of my wrist and handed it to Skye and she nodded tears in her eyes. I could feel my heart slowing down I knew that my time had come. I looked into Skye's eyes and mouthed "I love you." Before my heart gave out.

Skye's pov.

As I was running towards Hunter I saw someone appear behind him. I screamed "no!" as the person stabbed my beloved Hunter through the throat and then yanked it out. He was holding something in his arms and as I got closer I saw that it was Blake I knelt before Hunter and touched Blake shocked at how cold he was. Then I saw the bullet wounds. I knew he was dead. I turned my attention back to Hunter who was dying he kept trying to breathe which broke my heart. He kept looking down at Blake's body and then would look back at me and I finally got what he was trying to say I gently picked up Blake and ran with him back to ninja ops. As I was running back towards the beach I thought about the day that I met Hunter I had ran into him at Storm chargers the motocross shop where he works looking for new clothes. It had been a terribly stormy day much like today. I came back to where I had left Hunter and saw that his condition was much worse I gently held him close to me when I saw he was shaking. I could feel his heartbeat slowing down and I kissed him. I watched as he struggled to take his morpher off of his wrist and handed it to me. I could see the light fading in his dark blue eyes and I started sobbing. He mouthed "I love you." And died in my arms. I let out a pained shriek I couldn't believe I had just lost the love of my life. I picked him up and ran with him back to ninja ops. I ran through the waterfall doorway. Everyone was staring at me as I collapsed with Hunter sobbing and trying to catch my breath.

Two weeks later

It's been two weeks since Hunter and Blake's deaths it's been rough trying to get used to taking orders instead of giving them. I've battled Lothor twice now and never even hurt him. Sensei Wattanabe has Hunter and Blake on what is called cryogenic life support with hopes that sometime in the future they'll get better and live. Sensei doesn't think Hunter would be able to walk let alone fight with the injury he sustained. The only way to really prevent Hunter from permanent paralyzation they would have to make him an android and I don't know if Sensei would be able to do that. Every now and then I'd go into the room where they were kept but I couldn't stay in that room for very long. I'd break down into tears and start hyperventilating. I couldn't believe that Hunter was really gone. Tori was a complete wreck she had seen Blake when I took him back to ninja ops and completely lost it. She had Blake's morpher and dirtbike and whenever she morphed she'd break down. I tried to be strong knowing that any day could be my last. I went on a walk and left a note saying

To anyone this may concern

I took Hunter's dirtbike and am going for a ride I'll be back in a few hours.

Skye

I left it on my bed and went out to the shed where Hunter and Blake's dirtbikes were and put on Hunter's protective gear and his racing jersey and his helmet. I started the dirtbike up and got on it. I rode as fast as I could away from there. Tears stinging my eyes. Hunter never did anything to anyone I couldn't understand why anyone would want to kill him. He was so kind and loving. He could come off as rude at times but that's just the way his personality is especially if he doesn't know you. He would never hurt anyone. It terrified me to no end knowing that Hunter's killer was still out there. I rode up the beach and suddenly something crashed into the bike throwing me off. I got up and turned around seeing nothing I yelled "thunder storm ranger form!" I heard someone laughing I looked up and saw chubo. He looked at me and said "I thought my master killed you." I said in my best imitation of Hunter's voice "well you can't keep a good ninja down. Tired of being Lothor's lackey yet?" Chubo was enraged and charged at me I easily sidestepped him and grabbed my ninja staff. I said "you've messed with the wrong family." I stabbed Chubo who disappeared.
