major sugar-rushige right now, but I promise to do my best. ^_^
Bouncing Back from Reality
Chapter 4
Cam, Shane and Dustin all called out, "Tori!" Hunter, who had been silent the whole time, looked at his brother, and seeing the miserable look on his face said, "Go."
Blake turned and looked at him with a frown. "Huh?" he responded, as if coming out of a thought.
Hunter gave a small smile, "I said, 'Go'. Go after her, she needs you." Blake gave him a smile of thanks and ran out the door after her. He found her standing, watching the sun glint off the lake.
"Hey," he said softly. He neared her, and then stopped when he reached her side. Her head tilted forward, making her hair cover her face. Sighing, Blake was more forward than he had ever been with her, and ran his hand through the hair on the side of her face he could see.
Tori had wanted to hide the tears, but liked the feel of Blake's hand in her hair. She leaned into his hand, her eyes closing, and more tears making their way down her face. "Hey, Blake."
Blake gave a quick smile, but kept his hand where it was, but moved closer to her. "Talk to me Tori. You should get it out. That's one of the reasons Hunter and I had to leave before. I mean, we hadn't really greived for our parents. That's one of the reasons revenge seemed so wonderful. But it makes you bitter. We greived, while we were away. Together. I'm here for you Tor, tell me what's going through you."
It was possibly the longest speech he had ever made, but it made it no less true. Tori took a deep breath. "I'm scared, worried, angry...... I dunno, I just never figured there would be a specific way to kill us. I mean, he sent out monster after monster, but it almost didn't seem as.... nefarious, I guess. But the prophecy focuses on me as the cornerstone. I mean, he came into my dreams for a reason." She looked at him. "Why didn't you tell us this before?"
Shaking his head, Blake replied, "I honestly didn't remember. I read it, but then he got control of us so quickly..... It just slipped my mind until I heard you talking about the dream and the note. I'm... I never would have kept something like this from you on purpose."
Tori sniffled, and used her sleeve to wipe the tears from her cheeks. "Yeah, I know. I just... I dunno, I'm so angry!" she growled out.
Blake nodded, "Yeah, I know. Now, let's go back and figure out a way to beat him, okay?" He caught a stray tear on his thumb and licked it away. Tori blushed, making him grin. "Now, let's kick some Lothor-ass."
"Yeah, I guess we do need a game plan from the get-go with this one, don't we," she made the question more of a statement. Blake nodded and let his hand trail down her neck, to her shoulder, and lightly down her arm until he reached her hand, threading their fingers together.
Tori couldn't believe this. 'What.... Oh well, I think I should stop being shocked and just enjoy it. Who knows how long we'll be here, with our jobs?' she thought. She felt him squeeze her fingers and then tug in the general direction of Ninja Ops.
Blake was glad that they were together. Really glad. Because now the planning would begin, and he knew just how horrible things were going to be getting.
