See part one for disclaimer.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luke stumbled to his feet and looked around. His side burned like fire and his vision was blurry. He had a faint idea to where he needed to go. It was to his human's friends' house, he had met them one time long ago. He hoped they would help him now. He walked clumsily to the house near him and collapsed at the door. The door opened and a man stepped out."Luke!" he exclaimed in shock and helped the young man inside."Hey, " Luke said softly as the other set him on the couch.
A woman came in and hurried to his side. Her young face reflected her worry.
"Luke? What happened?" she asked.
"My Mother had children and I couldn't let them be twisted. My Father tried to stop me but I got them here. Help me," Luke said.
"What do you need?" the man asked."Take the oldest and help me get the other two in an adoption agency. They have to be separated immediately or Father will find them," Luke said.
He pulled his pack open and looked down at the three sleeping boys. He picked up the oldest and held him out to his friends."Luke…" his friend trailed off.
"We will help you, Luke," she answered for her husband.Luke smiled tiredly and handed the boy to her."He wasn't named. Only the youngest has a name," Luke said and stood slowly."Where are you going?" the man asked."I changed my mind. I can't put you two in more danger. Just take care of my brother and don't tell him he was adopted. Let him believe he is your son, let him live a normal life for as long as he can," Luke said softly.
"We will," she promised."Thank you, you don't know how much good he will do. Goodbye, brother," Luke whispered as he glanced at his brother then disappeared.
He found himself in front of a gloomy building. He walked in and looked around, the place seemed deserted. He pulled his pack off and set it down where someone would find it. He opened it and smiled at the two sleeping there. Then he sighed sadly, this was painful to separate himself from his family, but he had to.
"Goodbye, Tommy and dear brother. I will keep Father away as long as I can. Just grow up and have a better life then your older siblings had okay, and make us proud," he whispered, and with a final burst of energy, he disappeared.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Seventeen Years Later…
Tommy Oliver awoke gasping. He switched on the light beside his bed and ran a hand over his sweat-covered face. It was the third night in a row. The nightmare was a far cry different from his others and it had appeared three weeks after he had been freed from Rita's spell.
He hadn't told anyone about it yet; afraid in some small way that they would think he was crazy. Suddenly the phone rang. He frowned, who could be calling at this hour? He picked up the phone."Hello?" he asked into it."Tommy, its Jason," came from the phone."Jason, what is it?" Tommy asked."I felt that you needed to talk to someone. You had us worried today, you seemed out of focus," Jason said.
"It's nothing," Tommy said."No it isn't. Come on, Tommy, talk to me," Jason said.
Tommy sighed. He desperately wanted to tell someone or this would end up driving him crazy!
"All right, meet me down at the lake, okay?" Tommy asked.
"All right," Jason said.
Tommy hung up and quickly got up. He glanced at his clock while he dressed. It was near dawn, about five thirty. He shrugged and quietly left the house. Arriving at the pond a little later, he found Jason waiting for him.
"So, what's on your mind, bro?" Jason asked.Tommy sat beside him and sighed.
"I have been having nightmares," Tommy said.
"Rita?" Jason asked.
"Yes and no, its starts out like the others then goes on to something completely different," Tommy sighed.
Jason waited patiently for his friend to continue."It starts out with me as the green ranger holding the sword of darkness, which is covered in blood, and Rita is laughing behind me. Then it changes. I find myself in my regular cloths standing in a dark room. A half man half dragon like creature is standing in front of me. He smiles and speaks to me, "My dark one, you will return to me soon. Your brother thought to hide you but I have found you. I hope you will not fail me as your eldest brother has," he says then points to a figure chained to the wall. It's a young man, maybe a few years older then myself, with brown/gold hair and pleading blue/green eyes. He has been torture, or so it seemed, and his clothes were in rags. My vision then turns to the dragon creature. "Join me, son," he says. I can feel that he is evil and I immediately tell him no. He growls at me and shoots a fireball in my direction. I wake up screaming after that," Tommy finished.
Jason thought on what to tell his friend. He didn't know what to make of the dream.
Suddenly, Tommy stiffened beside him and grabbed his arm."Jase, its him, the beaten guy from my dream," Tommy whispered.Jason looked over to where he was looking. A young man sat near the edge of the shore of the lake, about ten or so meters from where they were sitting. A young woman was at his side, and they seemed to be watching for the sunrise.
"How can you be sure, bro?" Jason asked."I just know," Tommy said and a dazed look came to his eyes, "Its Tynan," he added softly.
"Who?" Jason asked.
"My brother," Tommy whispered.Tommy stood, that dazed look still in his eyes. The other man looked over at him and in the dim light, Jason saw something flicker in his eyes. The man whispered something to the woman and stood. He put out his hand and gestured to Tommy to come. Tommy's eyes cleared for a moment."He's changed," Tommy said softly and started to walk toward him.Jason grabbed his arm, worried about his friend. He wasn't sure if this was another spell or what.
The man looked back at the woman uncertain then stepped forward slowly, his hand still beckoning."It's all right, Jase. He isn't going to harm me," Tommy whispered then his eyes rolled back and his knees gave out.Jason caught his unconscious form before it hit the ground.
