I had to get away. I didn't know where I was going as long as it was away from everyone and everything. My legs feel like I ran a marathon. I lean my back upon and tree and slowly slide down scratching my back as I go. I felt like I couldn't breathe.
What did I do to deserve this?" I shouted. with fresh tears streaming down my face.
You didn't do anything Sky." Came a sweet voice from behind.
I guess she could tell by me almost jumping out of my skin that she had startled me.
I didn't mean to scare you.' Tori said leaning her back on the other side of the tree.
What are you doing here?" I asked still trying to catch my breath
I kind of over heard some of you and Cam talking and thought you might need a new set of ears." Tori said as she glanced my way.
Before I could even answer Tori had stood up and was messing with a branch on the tree.
You know. I have learned a lot since I started here and became a ranger. Tori smiled
I remember right before everything started with Lothor. Shane Dustin and my self could never seem to get here on time no matter what. We used to give Sensei such a hard time.
Cam thought we were a joke and Sensei thought we would never take our responsibilities seriously.
You know Sky its funny.
If we wouldn't have stopped to help that couple who were having car trouble. We never would have become rangers.
Tori sat down beside me. Her back to the tree trunk.
Things don't always turn out the way we want them to but everything has a place Sky.
I know we don't really know each other but do me a favor and please thing about what im going to say.
You have been running for ten years and Long was always one step behind. You mother died which made you want to come home. Your back with Cam, with all of us. Your not alone Sky. I know it seems hard and unfair. Please believe me when I tell you everything happens for a reason. There was a reason why even after we tried extra hard to get here on time that day we were late. Theres a reason for you to be here now.
Tori places her hand on mine and gave a slight squeeze. You know if you need anything. I'm here for you. With that she got up and began to walk away.
Ow yea she said turning to face me once again.
Ninja Ops is that way. She said pointing and smiling at me.
As she began to walk away I called to her. Tori.
Thanks.' I said with my head still turned to the ground.
Anytime Sky family is always here for each other. With that she turned around and walked away. All I could do was sit there at the bottom of the tree thinking about what she had said. Everything happens for a reason………..
