CHAPTER TWO The News
Hunter dragged himself along in Storm Chargers as he slowly unloaded another box. His friends were watching from the counter, concerned at his state.
"What's up with him, Blake? He looks dead," Tori asked, unsure of what to make of it. Blake shook his head.
"He hasn't been sleeping well all week. He keeps waking up in the middle of the night, screaming. I have an idea of what might be about though, I just don't know how to help," he explained sadly.
"Well, don't leave us in suspense, dude. What's the story?" Dustin asked. He and Shane leaned in from behind the counter while Tori just gazed over at him. Blake sighed, turning his attention from his brother, to his fellow rangers.
"When Hunter was around eight, we were both at the Thunder Ninja Academy, our parents had been dead for almost a year and we just weren't sure where life was taking us. That's when we met Ani. She came into the Academy an orphan, her guardians had passed away and she had no known family left. Naturally, we immediately liked her. She was nice, spunky, liked martial arts, and was basically into everything we were. However, I took a liking to her as a sister I never got to have. Hunter, however, even at that age fell in love with her," Blake explained. The others were too stunned at what they were hearing.
"Whoa, whoa..so you're telling me Hunter's having nightmares over the girl he loves? Okay, now I'm confused," Shane stated simply. Blake continued.
"Well, things were going great, for a while anyway. We had become our own little family, until the day Ani was taken away. It turns out she had been kidnapped as a baby and her real parents were alive. In fact they ran another academy, never found out which one, but they sent a bunch of men over to get her. It was heartbreaking, it was like a repeat of my parents, I was losing another family member. And Hunter, it wasn't just heartbreaking for him, it was like that just took his heart away when they ripped her from his arms," he explained, sadness filled his voice as he recalled the horrible events. Tori rubbed his shoulder comfortingly while glancing over at Hunter, seeing him in a new light from the story of his first love. The bell rang to signal a customer had come into Storm Chargers. Everyone looked up to see Cam, donning a big smile on his face and carrying a letter.
"Hey guys, great news. We're going to be having some news faces around Ninja Ops," he said excitedly but carefully, as not to speak too loud.
"What?" Tori asked simply, completely confused.
"My godparents and godsister are coming to visit. They've been bored hiding out by themselves since Lothor attacked, so they decided to come and visit us for a while," he explained.
"Whoa, now how did they escape?" Shane asked. The others looked at Cam for an answer.
"They were on a "family meditation retreat" when the attacks came. It's their version of a vacation, but now it looks like they're finally taking a real one," Cam said. Dustin came around from the counter and walked up to Cam, surprisingly somewhat serious.
"That's great Cam," he said, slapping him on the shoulder, "it really is, but I just have one question for you."
"What?" Cam asked, eyeing him.
"Is your godsister single?" he asked simply. The others had to hold themselves up from laughter as Cam chased Dustin around Storm Chargers, Kelly yelling at them to stop. While all of the chaos was going on, Hunter stared out of one of the back windows out towards the view of the beach. He slowly breathed in a sighed heavily.
"Where are you?" he asked, to no one but the girl he longed to hold again.
