Tori sat there, lost in thought. The waves brushed her feet and the sand shifted beneath her toes. She sat just at the waters edge, unaware of the waves building up and starting towards her. The next thing she knew the waves had hit her, knocking her over and dragging her out to sea. She sputtered, and dragged in a breath half filled with sea water. She tried to swim and found she couldn't. Her head struck something hard and she blacked out, as she drifted away her last thoughts were about Dustin.
Kelly was putting tags on some of the new stock that the boys had just unpacked. She noticed the weather had changed as she looked out the window. It was beginning to look a bit stormy outside. A cold blast of air came in through the open door.
Blake and Hunter were coming out of the back with two more boxes, and were carrying them over to the counter where Dustin was working on a bike. He had a wrench in his hand and was tightening something. He reached up and wiped his forehead and left a streak of oil there. "Well bro, want to go riding after work?"
"Sure Hunter, it's been a few days since we last rode. Want to go to the dunes to ride?" Hunter had that thoughtful look on his face, that was a bit goofy. Blake had often noticed that Hunter had many faces, many expressions. He was an open book.
"Okay, how about we do that. Maybe Dustin would like to go too." Both Bradley brothers looked at him. "Hey Dustin?"
"Yeah, Dudes?" He looked up smiling that warm smile of his.
"Hey my lil bro and I was wondering if you would like to go riding after work, on the dunes with us?"
"Yeah man, sure. I could use a ride, I got an hour or two." He turned back to the bike he was fixing. The brothers turned away. Blake turned and went back to sit down and watch the tv. They had nothing else to do for awhile. Hunter was thirsty and wanted something to drink.
"Hey Kelly, I am going out to get some cold drinks. Want anything else?" The redhead looked up and nodded no. Hunter walked out the front door, just noticing the change in weather. He began to walk down the beach. He would get everyone something to drink, there was a little store nearby.
Walking he saw Tori's van. He stopped and looked around, and saw her towel but no Tori. He looked out at the ocean, and didn't see her blond head out there. He got an uneasy feeling, and then something came over him. He suddenly knew she was in trouble, and he ran jumping into the water and swimming out. He knew just where to head, and he didn't know how he knew it either. The water had grown choppy, and cold. He stopped at a certain spot and dove down into the dark waters. He could see something just below him. He grabbed an arm and pulled and with a powerful kick of his legs he broke the surface. He had Tori, and she was unconscious. He touched her face, and noticed she wasn't breathing.
Hunter moved her head back and began CPR. His lips touched hers and he breathed into her mouth. She didn't move. He turned her and held her against him, wrapping his arms around her waist he gave a swift jerk against her stomach and tried to get rid of the water she had taken in. He did it again, and water spewed from her mouth. The next time he figured he had gotten most of it out. He then tried CPR again, while treading water. "Come on Tori, don't do this! " He tried again, and looked towards the shore. They were getting further out, and no one in sight.
No one will notice that this is short, or that it might never be completed. I had hoped some would like it. I personally like stories with Tori/Dustin or Tori/Hunter in them.
