CHAPTER 5 Forming Relationships
The rangers stared at Anna in awe. Even Sensei was a little shocked.
"You seriously came from the Storm Ninja Academy?" Dustin asked.
"I was raised there," Anna replied simply.
"Why are you here?" Hunter asked. Anna glanced down sadly. She was not sure what, if anything, she wanted to tell them. Both Tori and Shane took notice of this.
"Look, you can tell us what you want whenever you want. I guess what we want to know now is if you'll join us, I guess?" Tori asked. The others hadn't expected Tori to come straight out and ask Anna anything, so they were a little stunned. Anna looked at the lone female ranger and smiled.
"Sure," she said.
"Dude, all right," Dustin said. The others became so excited about Anna working with them, they didn't notice when she snuck out. Shane noticed however, and managed to sneak away from the group as well. Anna walked leisurely around the woods until she came to the edge of the lake closest to the waterfall. She crossed her eyes and sighed.
'I miss you guys,' Anna thought to herself. Shane watched her for a second then saw her wipe a tear from her eye. He took that time to walk up to her.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Anna turned to him in a fighting stance. She eased up when she saw it was just Shane. He came closer to her when she eased up.
"I've just got a lot on my mind," Anna replied.
"The reason you came to Blue Bay Harbor?" Shane asked. Anna nodded in response. Shane was not sure what to say next, so he just looked at her.
'She's so beautiful and peaceful-looking, what could hurting her and make her so angry?' he asked himself. Anna looked up and ended up locking eyes with Shane.
'What's with this guy? I don't know him but still,' she thought to herself. Something came over the two and lessened the distance between themselves slowly until Shane took the last move and gently took her lips into his. Anna let her body come closer to him and he wrapped his arms around her waist, as she put hers around his neck. Shane pulled her as close to him as possible. Their kiss became progressively deeper until their tongues flowed through each other's mouths. They finally parted and tried to catch their breath as they stared at each other in surprise.
"Whoa," Shane said.
"Yea," Anna replied. She stepped away from him and turned her back to him.
"Anna, I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me.," Shane began.
"First off, I kissed you too, second of all, I don't want you to be sorry," she said. Shane glanced at her questioningly.
"I was just surprised because I've never kissed a guy I just met and yet still feel so comfortable around. Now with my parents gone, it's even weirder.," she began but now it was Shane's turn to cut her off.
"Your parents? Where are they? Did Lothor capture them?" he asked. Anna collected herself.
"They weren't captured," Anna said sadly. Shane realized what she meant.
"How long ago?" he asked. Anna wiped a tear from her eye and looked up straight at Shane.
"There's a lot behind this, some of which I still need to understand but I promise you'll learn everything when you need to. I just need you guys to trust me," she said. Shane looked deep into her eyes to try and read her sincerity. When he was satisfied, he smiled.
"Okay," he replied. Anna smiled up at him and Shane returned the smile. He cupped his hand around her cheek and gently ran his them over her face, not taking his eyes off of her for one minute. He leaned in and kissed her passionately. Anna returned the kiss as the two wrapped their arms around each other. Little did they know that they had seven pairs of eyes watching them. Five were from the rangers and the other side of the lake.
"Shane didn't waste any time," Blake said.
"How are we supposed to trust Anna if we know she's hiding something?" Cam asked.
"We've got some examples right next to us," Tori said, smirking playfully at the Thunder Brothers. They smiled devilishly at her. The other two pairs of eyes were from Marah and Kapri.
"She always did top us at everything," Kapri pointed out.
"Does uncle even realize her connection?" Marah asked.
"Who knows, let's go," Kapri said. The two teleported away. Shane and Anna were still wrapped up in each other when they parted and smiled at one another.
"I think I'm gonna like it here," she said.
"Good," Shane said, smiling.
What's the big mystery behind Anna's story? Is there a reason she and Shane moved so fast? How will her friendship with the other rangers develop? Find out in Chapter 6.
