Chapter 12 Relief
Kira woke up feeling groggy and her head was throbbing. When her vision cleared up, she realized that her mouth was gagged and her arms were chained down to a wall. All she remembered was feeling someone put a cloth over her mouth and getting hit hard on the head. She couldn't remember anything after that or remember seeing anyone or anything before it happened.
"Scared are you?" came a voice. Kira jerked her head towards the sound of the voice. Her eyes widened and her breathing quickened in fear when she saw it was Aaron. He just plain and simply looked psychotic. Kira tried to break out of the chains but they were way too tight. Aaron just laughed.
"Don't bother. You're all mine, little one," he said in a way that scared Kira and creeped her out at the same time. Kira tried to do her Ptera Scream, but the gag blocked anything from coming out. Kira noticed the gun in his pants and became scared beyond her life.
'What did I do to deserve this?' she thought to herself as she looked from the gun to Aaron's face. Aaron smirked at her evilly. He pulled the gun out. Kira started to shake.
"Pretty isn't it? Why don't you take a closer look?" he said as he pointed the gun at Kira. She instinctively closed her eyes and prepared for what was to come. Instead of feeling metal pierce through her skin at a fast rate, she heard a hard crash of two bodies and a struggle ensue. She cracked open one of her eyes and then both of them when she saw what was going on.
Trent had come out of no where and was now wrestling and fighting with Aaron. The gun had slid across the floor. Despite knowing that were too tight, Kira attempted to struggle out of the chains. Her efforts were useless but she continued to do so. Trent had Aaron in a choke hold and thought he had him. Aaron surprised Trent by elbowing him in the stomach, then punching him in the face when Trent clenched his stomach. Trent went flying to the ground as Aaron ran to for the gun. It seemed like slow motion to Kira as she saw Aaron grab the gun and turn around. As he turned around, Trent recovered from his punches and sat up on one knee. His eyes widened in shock as Aaron pointed the gun at him. Just as Kira thought that she was about to lose her the love of her life as well as her own life, another body collided into Aaron. A shot did go off and hit Trent in the arm. He went flying backwards as Kira tried to scream.
Kira managed to calm down enough to see another body run over to Aaron and the other guy. She couldn't believe it. Aaron threw the other guy off of him and jumped to his feet. Kira's heart fluttered in relief when she was sure of who the two were. It was Conner and Ethan!
"Big mistake messing with our friends, pal," Conner said seriously.
"Big mistake interfering," Aaron retorted, reaching for his gun. He was baffled when he didn't see it.
"Looking for this?" Ethan asked. Aaron looked up to see Ethan holding his gun. He was scared for a brief moment, thinking Ethan would pull it on him. This just proved further that he did not know the integrity of former rangers. With one hand, Ethan emptied the gun of the bullet cartridge and spread the pieces out all over the floor.
"If you want to kill someone, you're going to have to earn it," Ethan said, not worried at all. Aaron screamed in anger and ensued Conner and Ethan in a fight. The two rangers held their own well against Aaron. While all three were distracted, they failed to noticed that Kira had managed to loosen the chains enough for her to wiggle her tiny body free. She yanked the gag out of her mouth and over her head. She scrambled over to Trent and cradled his head in her lap.
"Baby, are you okay?" she asked desperately, but in a whisper so Aaron wouldn't hear her. Trent groaned in pain and clutched his arm.
"I'm okay. I need to get out of here soon before I lose too much blood. Baby, do me a favor," Trent said.
"Anything," Kira said.
"Kick that guys ass," Trent said angrily. Kira sighed smirked and bent down to kiss his forehead.
"You got it," she said. She carefully laid him back down on the floor and approached the fight between Aaron and her two former teammates. As she got closer, Dr. Oliver's jeep busted through the factory doors and made it's way towards the group. Kira did not notice at first that Devin and Hayley were in the car with Tommy and Kim. Leila, Hunter, Blake, and Tori ran in after the jeep. Conner saw Kira approaching and ducked down, covering his ears. Ethan managed to do the same just in time. Aaron was very confused at this maneuver but looked up just in time to see Kira.
"Eat this," Kira said before letting loose her Ptera Scream. Her anger energized it enough to send Aaron flying backwards, right into Tommy's oncoming jeep. Tommy slammed on the brakes and missed hitting Kira, Conner, and Ethan by a few inches. Hitting the brakes so fast did cause Aaron to again going flying across the room, this time slamming against the far wall. Everyone knew he was officially knocked out when he slumped over on the floor. Everyone climbed out of the jeep, but Leila jumped ahead of everyone and enveloped Kira in a hug, followed by Tori and Kim while Hayley and the guys gathered close around. Leila opened her eyes and saw Trent across the room. She released Kira and ran over to Trent. Kira followed her.
"Oh man, Trent," Leila said, worried at the sight of her injured brother. Kira returned his head to her lap and gently ran her hand over his head.
"Not that I'm unhappy, but how did all of this happen?" Kira asked. Trent groaned as he began to talk.
"I saw Aaron attack you. I wanted to kill him right then and there but I thought we wouldn't be able to stop him unless I followed the two of you," Trent said.
"And Leila had a vision about all of this happening. I thought she tried to get a hold of Trent but it turns out she called Hayley, who got a hold of these three," Hunter said, pointing to Conner, Ethan, and Devin.
"Happy to help," Devin said.
"Not that I'm unhappy to see you guys either, but can somebody please take me to a hospital?" Trent asked. Hunter, Blake, and Tommy helped get Trent into the jeep. Kira climbed in next to him as Tommy drove off. She framed his face and gently kissed his lips, relieved tears falling from her eyes. Even though Trent being injured scared her, deep down she knew he would be okay.
"Is it over?" she asked.
"Only the bad part," Trent said. Kira smiled and kissed him, knowing he meant that after all this, he was more than ready to get married. Back at the warehouse, the others walked behind the speeding jeep, relieved that the horror was over. Kim, Blake, and Hayley talked with the police while Devin, Conner, and Ethan made extra sure Aaron would not get free until the police got him. Tori and Hunter stayed with Leila.
"You know, we may not be able to wear the suits anymore, but as the old saying goes...," Tori stated.
"Once a ranger, always a ranger," Leila and Hunter finished. The two embraced in a kiss. Tori laughed, rolled her eyes, and walked back over to her husband. When they separated for air, Hunter smiled down at her.
"So, how long do you think they'll wait before they have the wedding?" Hunter asked.
"Knowing those two, they'll probably make all the arrangements as Trent recovers so they can have it once he's okay," Leila explained.
"And so he's ready for the honeymoon," Hunter added. Leila just laughed and kissed him again, relieved that her brother and future sister-in-law were finally out of harm's way.
The terror is almost over, but the wedding still needs to happen. Find out how all of that goes in the upcoming chapters of HEARTS SONG. After this spin off, look forward to a Tori & Blake spinoff. Followed by a Hunter and Leila prequel and sequel. The prequel will take a look into how the two met and how their relationship developed. If you have ANY specific questions about their relationship, please include it in your reviews and I'll try to answer them in the story.
