CHAPTER 14 It Starts
Later that night, there was rustling in the bushes. The darkness would make you think that your eyes were playing tricks on you as the bushes moved with no body seen. The rustling stopped at a field opening. A little shaking and the two bodies appeared. It was Brian and Scott, still breathing heavy and limping from pain.
"How did we get out of there without getting caught?" Brian asked.
"We're not completely out of the woods yet, let's go," Scott said before they ninja streaked away. When they felt that they were at a safe distance. They stopped and started to walk along the street.
"Do have any idea where we are going?" Scott asked.
"Reefside. That's where Chloe's biological father lives," Brian explained.
"After what happened, how are we going to convince them that we were forced to attack them?" Scott asked.
"Through Chloe. We restored her sight on purpose, so she'll be our link," Brian said as the two brothers limped on. Hours later, the sun began to rise. Chloe stirred and smiled at the sight in front of her. Conner, shirtless, was still asleep and had a possessive arm wrapped around Chloe. Her arm was draped across his stomach. Only a short time ago, she never pictured herself with a guy she loved as much as did Conner, let alone making love to him all night long. She laid such gentle kisses across his stomach and up to his neck, that Conner didn't even wake up. He just stirred a little and smiled as if he had been dreaming. He moved his arm enough for Chloe to slip out of bed. She took a quick shower and put on fresh clothes. She bounded down the stairs and realized she was up before anyone else. She found Daisy and Spot asleep in the middle of the floor of the first story, in range of all the doors.
"Aren't you two good watch dogs?" she said playfully as the dogs woke up but didn't move. She went into the kitchen and poured herself some orange juice. She sipped on it and went outside to watch the rest of the sunrise. She smiled at the beautiful sight before her. She finished the rest of her orange juice and sat down on a lawn chair.
"Hey gorgeous," came a familiar voice. Chloe smiled when she saw Conner walk out, still waking up, in sweats and a red tank top. She stood up and wrapped her arms around his neck as he in turn wrapped his around her waist.
"Good morning," she said before kissing him.
"Now it is," he said before returning the kiss, this time longer and a little more passionate.
"Is he the paper boy?" asked a voice suddenly. The two separated to see Scott and Brian. Conner jumped in front of Chloe into a fighting stance.
"Easy boy. We don't want to fight. We want to help," Scott said.
"Why should I believe you?" Conner asked.
"Because I believe them," Chloe said. Conner looked backed at her a little surprised.
"That easily?" he asked.
"You didn't grow up with them, Conner. I know them. They wouldn't have done what they did unless they were provoked," Chloe said.
"She's telling the truth," Brian added.
"Even though I believe her, that doesn't mean I'm not going to be cautious," Conner said.
"Understandable," Scott said.
"Let's go inside and I'll wake the others up," Chloe said before walking in. Conner ushered the cousins in, not wanting to turn his back on them.
"Sit there," he instructed, pointing to a couch. He flopped down on an easy chair across from them.
"So you've got our cousin wrapped around of love do you?" Brian asked sarcastically. Conner frowned at the stupid saying.
"You could say that," he said, unsure. It would've gotten uncomfortable if they hadn't heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Trent, Kira, Tori, and Blake are coming down right now," Chloe said before sitting next to Conner on the arm of the chair.
"Why not anyone else?" Scott asked.
"Let's go a little at a time," Chloe said as they heard footsteps.
"What's going on Chloe?" Kira asked, rubbing her eyes.
"It's too early for...this," Trent started to say before seeing the two cousins on the sofa. Trent, Blake, and Tori got into fighting stances while Kira just rolled her eyes and woddled into the kitchen.
"What are you doing here?" Blake asked.
"Are we going to go through this with everyone?" Scott asked of Chloe. Chloe just nodded before looking at her friends.
"Ease up guys, they're cool," she said. The others eased off of the stances but still glared at the twin cousins.
"Why are you here?" Tori asked.
"To help you guys. Our aunt and uncle are after Chloe and won't stop until they get her lightning power," Brian said.
"Even if it means killing her and we didn't want to be their pawns anymore," Scott added.
"Why should we believe you?" Trent asked.
"Chloe believes us and for now, that's enough. All we want is for this to stop," Brian said.
"And just how are we supposed to stop it?" Conner asked.
"Raid the Lightning Academy and free all of the students," Scott said.
"Wait, they have the students locked up?!" Chloe asked.
"Only the ones they don't corrupt to do things for them," Brian said. Chloe's shoulders sagged in obvious shock. Conner wrapped his arms around her waist in comfort. She gently collapsed back into his lap and laid her head against his.
"What has Torrance done to them?" she asked, not really to anyone.
"We aren't sure Chloe," Brian said.
"Your parents may be beyond help at this point," Scott said.
WHOA! Freak out, are her parents beyond help? Will the others rangers help them? Where are Chloe and Conner's relationship going to end up? What will happen as the rangers plan and put to action a plan of attack on the Lightning Academy? Find out next time.
