CHAPTER 6
Truth Be Told
Blake stormed through the forest. He was angry and hurt. He had seriously been in love with Tori but when he saw that she and he had separate children, he knew it would never happen. He broke into a run and let himself slow down a top a grassy cliff overlooking the ocean. It was his favorite place to go no matter how he was feeling. He breathed in the fresh air and it helped him to calm down a little.
"Took you long enough," came a voice. Blake glanced over a boulder to see Mackenzie laid back and looking down at him.
"What do you want?" he asked angrily, looking away from her. Mackenzie did a graceful jump down to the ground and approached him.
"Why'd you blow up at my mom?" she asked, acting as if she didn't already know.
"That's none of your business, now leave me alone!" he cried angrily before turning away from her and heading back towards the forest. Before he could go any farther, Mackenzie stepped from behind a tree and blocked his path. Blake was confused and looked back where Mackenzie had been and then to where she was in front of him.
"I consider it my business for several reasons, one of which, Tori's my mom!" Mackenzie screamed at him.
"That's the point you little brat!" Blake screamed back before throwing a punch that Mackenzie easily caught. Blake tried to hide his surprise.
"You want to play, let's play," Mackenzie said. She knee kicked Blake and air flipped over him, did a back flip, and then came up in a fighting stance. By then, Blake had recovered and charged at her. He did a roundhouse kick; Mackenzie blocked it, and connected with her own roundhouse. That sent Blake backwards and Mackenzie tumbled forward and came up. Blake, as angry as he was, refused to charge at her anymore.
"You're a much better challenge when you aren't overcome with emotion," Mackenzie replied, realizing he had surrendered. Blake looked at her confused.
"You act like you've fought me before," he replied.
"I have," Mackenzie replied, matter-of-factly. Blake realized what she was talking about and rolled his eyes.
"So I guess I get over your mom and still talk to her?" he replied, showing more hurt than anger in his words.
"Considering that you guys live in the same house, yea," Mackenzie replied. Blake was now confused more than ever.
"What?" he asked.
"You're my dad, Blake. I got my looks from mom and Trent got his looks from you. That's why you thought we weren't related. Where did you think I got my motocross skills from?" she asked, changing the subject a little. Blake was in shock. Mackenzie shook her head.
"When you find the ability to talk, you could apologize to Tori. She's coming this way now," Mackenzie replied, turning toward the forest. After about ten feet, she saw her mom approaching. The two stopped in front of each other.
"You know?" Mackenzie asked. Tori blushed and nodded.
"He does too. I told him. I think you need to talk," Mackenzie said.
"Thanks," Tori said. Mackenzie smiled the same smile Tori had and made her way back to Ninja Ops. Tori walked toward the clearing to see a baffled Blake look out onto the horizon. She approached him slowly, her heart pounding with nerves as to what to say to him. Blake heard someone coming and thought it was Mackenzie. He got a quick idea to break the ice with his daughter; he would pull an old fashioned move on her. The second he felt a hand on his shoulder, he grabbed and flipped the figure around to the ground. He did not realize who it was until he had pinned the figure on its back.
"Tori?!" he asked questioningly. Tori opened her eyes, trying to recover from the shock. She had definitely not been expecting.
"You still mad at me?" she asked, kind of playfully, as she could tell he had made a mistake.
"No, no, I mean I thought, I'm sorry, it's just...," Blake stumbled with his words as the confusion of the whole situation took him over until he stopped. He looked down at her.
'How can I be made at her? The sweet girl I fell in love with,' he thought as he stared at her. Tori stared back at him and smiled. Blake smiled back. The two decided staring wasn't enough and inched towards each other. Their lips met in a tender, passionate kiss. Tori wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled Blake closer to her. They laid there, letting their emotions flow through their very first kiss, as their tongues began to do the same through each other's mouths. They parted briefly, catching their breath.
"Wow," Blake whispered. Tori smiled.
"I don't think this was the type of talking Mackenzie wanted us to do," Tori said. Blake smiled playfully at her.
"You never know. This could be exactly what she meant. She is our daughter after all, she knows us pretty well," he said, half seriously, half joking. Tori laughed and stared at him lovingly. Blake brought his hand to her face and gently traced her face with his fingers.
"Besides, it's a start," he whispered. The two again met in a passionate kiss, letting go of any other worries. Meanwhile, Mackenzie was leisurely walking back to Ninja Ops when she stopped and turned back in the direction of where her parents were. She smiled, as if she knew what was going on. All of a sudden, something grabbed her from behind.
"Hey!!" she screamed in surprise. She was suddenly put on her back in a soft, grassy area and Clark laid down beside her, letting his torso pin her upper body, as he held onto her arms.
"CLARK!!" she screamed playfully and tried to get him but he had a good grip on her.
"So how'd it go with your parents?" he asked. Mackenzie glanced back in that direction and smiled.
"They're working it out the best way they can," she replied, smiling at him.
"Like mother, like daughter," Clark replied playfully. He leaned in and captured Mackenzie's lips with his. They made out while holding each other close, just as Blake and Tori were doing. While Clark and Mackenzie kissed, she took no notice of the glow that was illuminating from the dolphin necklace.
Well, looks like Blake and Tori have worked stuff out. Does their knowledge of the future mean the kids will be affected? What's up with the necklace? Is it a sign that the kid's will have a job to do soon? Find out in Chapter 7.
