Telling Some Of The Story

When they all got to the youth center Jason said,

"Kim, could you show Tara where she can clean up? Then meet us at our table."

"Sure Jason I will. Come on Tara its this way." Kim said as she led Tara to the girl's locker room.

In the locker room Kim took a good look at Tara and said as she handed her some clean cloths to ware,

"You look to be about the same size as me so you can use this after you are done."

"Thank you Kim but I don't have anything to wash up with." Tara said so quite that Kim almost missed it.

"That's ok you can use my stuff for now." Kim said as she handed her a washcloth and tale, soap, shampoo.

"Would you like me to stay here or come back later?" Kim asked.

"Please stay here. I would feel better if someone I know is here." Tara said a little shyly.

Back out in the youth center the others were talking.

"Did you see the bruises on her face?" Zack asked.

"I sure did. I hope she is ok." Billy said.

"She was sure scared. She must have thought that we would take her back to the person that did that to her." Trini said.

"Well we will find out about it hopefully when she comes out to tell us what's up." Tommy said.

"Who would hurt her and why." Jason said.

Back in the locker room Kim went to look in on Tara but was shocked to see all the scars and bruise all over her body.

"Tara what in the world happened to you?" Kim asked.

"Kim, please don't tell anyone about this. I'm ok." Tara plead with tears in her eyes.

"If somebody is hurting you, by telling you can make them stop." Kim told her, as she got dressed.

"I know that. No one is hurting me please don't tell anyone." Tara pleaded again.

"Ok, ok I will not tell if you get some help by yourself." Kim said.

"Ok I will try to." Tara said.

Then they walked out to where the others were waiting for them.

As they came up on the group of friends Jason said,

"You look a lot better know. How do you feel?"

"I feel a lot better now. Thank you." Tara said.

"I'm sorry for all of this my step-father and I had a fight so I just ran out of the house. I guess I got lost. Then the rain came the you and Trini well I did not know you to so I guess I was scared." Tara told them.

In the Command Center Zordon and Alfa were watching what was going on.

"Alfa, keep an eye on her there is something about her that is different and I would not like to see her hurt anyone." Zordon said.

"I hope not. It looks like Jason might like her." Alfa said.

"I know but we must make sure of it. She is not telling all the truth about why she was out there in the rain. If it some kind of trap from Rita we must be ready for it." Zordon said.

Back at the Youth Center the Rangers were trying to get to know their new friend some more but she was not making it very easy.

'If they find out that I'm a witch they will not have anything to do with me. This is the first time I made some friends in a new town and I will not lose them!' Tara thought.

"Tara, are you ok?" Kim asked.

"Yes, just thinking about something's." Tara said.

As they were talking Bulk and Skull walked into the Youth Center with a very pretty young girl with them.

"Shit that is my sister. What is she doing with trash like that?" Tara asked as she got up to go over to her sister.

"What just one minute they will show her themselves that they are not good friends." Jason said.

Just as Jason said this a young friend of Billy's walked in. Bulk and Skull got up and walked over to her and said,

"There is now a cover charge to get in here. How much money do you have?" As they asked this Bulk made a grab for her purse to take the money but got a very shocking time out of it.

As all of this was happening Jason had walked up to where Tara's sister was and said,

"I'll pay for that. Hi my name is Jason I'm a friend of your sister's. Would you like to join us?"

"Thank you and yes I would. Those boys seemed so nice when I meet them in the park but now they do that it was so mean. By the way my name is Kelly. Tara there you are thank god you are ok!" Kelly yelled as she ran up to her and gave her a hug.

"Net outfit were be you get it?" Kelly asked.

"Kim let it to me so mine can dry." Tara said as she pointed her out to her sister.

"Well that's good. Moms worried about you." Kelly said.

"I'll go get dressed so we can go home." Tara said.

"I'll come with you." Kelly said as they stood up and left the room.

"Tara he is really pissed off maybe you should not come home tonight. I can tell mom you are ok and you will be home as soon as he cools off." Kelly said.

"But where will I go?" Tara said.

"I know that when you where out earlier you found a cave or old shack to go to when he is like this. Go there and after supper I'll be in the park with some food for you. And maybe some blankets for you and your candles. How's that?" Kelly asked.

"Ok. But don't get caught. I don't what him doing this to you." Tara said.
