"Breakaway Part 2"

Later on that day, family and friends threw a surprise graduation party in Tori's home. Everyone she knew was there; except for the one person she wanted to see the most. Hunter. While the others dance the night away in the large livingroom, Tori was pacing back and forth anxiously outside the porch, wandering why in the world Hunter would leave Blue Bay Harbor. Although there was the obvious reason, she wouldn't consider it. As she waited patiently for him to surprisingly show up, Dustin and Shane looked her way from inside the house.

The goofball deeply sighs. "Dude, she's been out there for almost an hour. I mean she should be happy on her graduation day. For one thing, you and I worked our butts off to throw her this party, and it kills to see her down like this."

"Yeah..." Shane rubs the back of his neck, sighing as people pass by them. "I just can't believe Hunter is a no show."

Dustin chuckles. "Wouldn't that be a good thing?"

"What do you mean?"

"This party would be a total fiasco if Hunter and Blake were in the same room together."

"Well...yeah." Shane nodded to his point. "But all what Tori wants is for them to get along, and set their differences aside."

Dustin scoffs. "Yeah, like if that's ever gonna happen. Those two want to cut each other's throats out."

"Dude, you're not helping."

"What?"

"Hey, guys." Marah and Kapri approach them from behind with drinks in their hands. The pinkhead takes Shane's hand and drags him to the dance floor. Marah does the same with Dustin. "Come on, boys! Let's dance!"

Tori sat on the small steps of the porch, bobbing her head to the fast tempo of the music. She could feel the wind picking up as she tightened her grip on her arms to stay warm from the cold. Meanwhile, Blake runs down the stairs and spotted Tori outside through the open front door. He stuffs his hands into his pockets and slowly walks up to her.

"Hey, Tori."

She quickly turns around and smiles. "Blake."

He takes a seat right next to her. "I've been looking for you. What are you doing out here?"

Tori turns away and shrugged. "Just thinking."

"About Hunter?" She bit her lip.

"Blake, I don't want to---"

"Tori." He stops her from going any farther as he places a finger to her lips. He sighs deeply before resuming. "I don't want to argue anymore too. I just realize its only hurting people around us, and especially you. I don't want to hurt you anymore, Tori." Blake trails off while turning away from her gaze. "My brother needs you, and I know you need him." Tori shot him a confused look. Again, he sighs. "I talked to Leanne just a few days ago, and she told me that Hunter is leaving to Blue Point to be headmaster of the newly built Thunder Ninja Academy. This is what he always wanted, Tori and now he's getting it. But I fear that without you by his side, he'll screw this up...which is why I'm letting you go."

Tori furrowed her eyebrows as a single tear gradually rolls down his cheeks. "B-But what if I want to stay, Blake? What if this is what I wanted?"

He sniffs as their fingers intertwine. "I don't want to keep you away from your happiness any longer, Tor. I see the way you smile whenever Hunter is in sight." He says painfully while kissing her hand. "It is crystal clear that you want to be with him."

"But what about you?" Tori's voice cracked.

Blake smiles sincerely while wiping away her tears. "There's a saying that when you truly love someone, you'll let them go so I'm letting you go, Tori." He releases her hand. "Go before I change my mind." Tori was off to her own transfixed world as she stares off into space, deep in thought.

"If you tell anyone about this..." Mr. Smith trails off as he warns the little blonde girl in front of him. "I will walk into the doorstep of your love ones and kill them."

A gasp escape from her lips as Tori snaps out from a memory trance. She turns to Blake and nods.

"You won't get away with this!"

Mr. Smith rolls his eyes as he steadies the handgun directly to Hunter's head. "You are just like your mother. Very stubborn." Hunter glares at his father as he tries loosening the ropes behind him. Earlier that day, he was getting ready to attend Tori's graduation when suddenly Edward ambushed him in his own apartment. It's been hours, and no one was able to find him. "Your friends must be wondering where you are at this point, especially Tori." Mr. Smith begins toying with the gun in midair. "You know if I was her, I would be questioning myself about our friendship. I mean, not showing up to your friend's graduation is a bit low don't you think?"

Hunter struggles to set himself free with the sudden urge to take him down. "Damn you!"

Mr. Smith laughs hysterically. "Son, it doesn't have to be this way. We can just forgive each other and move on with our lives just as a family. It's as simple as that."

"With you?" Hunter chuckles sarcastically at the ridiculous thought. "Not in a million years, Ed! You can just go to hell for what you've done!"

He could feel his temper rising in outrage as he presses the gun hard against his head. Hunter winces in pain. "Take it back or I'll shoot!"

He makes a fist to his side. "Never!"

"Don't make me do this, Hunter. I love you, and you are my son!"

"You'll never get to Tori if it's her that you want! You're just using me to get to her!"

Mr. Smith scoffs. "That girl is in love with you, son! She'll walk through those doors, and when she does, I will shut her mouth off...if you know what I mean." He adds with a wink."

Hunter nods his head appallingly. "You are a sick bastard!"

Just then, the front door swung open as Tori walks in. She looks at Ed horrifyingly then down at the beaten Hunter who was completely tied up. "Hunter!"

"Get back!" Mr. Smith points the gun to Tori and grins at her. "I told you I'd get my revenge." As he begins taunting Tori, Hunter used the lighter he took from his back pocket to loosen the rope from off his wrists.

"Why would you do this?" Tori questions Mr. Smith. "Why your own son?"

"Shut up! It's you that I want!" She looks from the corner of her eye and noticed an open bottle of water. "You destroyed my life!" He stated angrily while pointing the gun towards her direction. "Now I'll make damn sure you don't live yours."

Tori grins. "Hmm...we'll just see about that. Hiya!" She kicked the bottle from off the table and called forth the command of water to knock the gun from off his hands. Mr. Smith looks on wide-eyed when suddenly Hunter broke loose and leg sweep him from off the ground. Tori kicks the gun in relief as she joins Hunter for a hug. "Oh God, I'm glad you're alright. I had a feeling something was up. I just knew it."

He shuts his eyes and squeezes her tightly. "I'm sorry that I missed your graduation. I wanted to be there."

They parted. "I can't even think about that right now. The important thing is that you're alright." He smiles as he turns his gaze over to the fallen Ed. "I got good news for you, Mr. Smith." She grins down at him. "The police are on their way. You'll be back home where you belong in no time." Hunter turns to Tori and laughs along with her.

"That is good news."

One week later...

Today was the official opening of the Thunder Ninja Academy in Blue Point as Hunter prepares to settle into the new school with Leanne and greet new recruiting students. Hunter enrolled Hazel as the youngest student to join the academy, but only during the weekends. She will also be attending Blue Point Elementary School while Hunter is out at work. The two arrived at Blue Point the day before, and so far it wasn't as bad as they would expect it to be. The place was quite similar to Blue Bay Harbor, except the new city was less busier than their used to. Leanne flew in just hours ago, and was minutes away to meet with Hunter in the school, but was stuck in traffic. Once he arrived, the owner gave him a tour around the academy, including the main building, which was twice as big as the one in Blue Bay Harbor. Hunter was amazed to see he had his own built in home, which includes two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, and livingroom. Leanne had one herself across from his. It was specially made for headmasters of the school.

After Hunter and the owner of the property parted their ways, he entered his office where boxes were placed on the floor and tables. He began unpacking a few things till he came by to a photo of him and Tori making faces at the camera. Hunter stares at it carefully and laughs. He remembered the silly times he shared with Tori, and yet he couldn't forget the intimate ones. He missed her, and saying goodbye to her before boarding the plane was the hardest thing he had to do. Hunter sighs deeply while placing the picture frame on his desk. Just then, a sudden knock on the door interrupted his thoughts as he briefly straightens his posture. "Come in."

Leanne sticks her head in and smiles. "Hey, you. Kids are lining up crazy outside."

"It's time already?"

"Don't worry about it. There's someone out there taking roll."

"Who?"

Leanne pauses and winks at him. "Oh you'll be surprised."

"Is it someone I know?" Hunter asks curiously.

"Hey, Leanne. Do you have the second roster?" Tori suddenly walks in, carrying a clipboard. Her eyes shifts to Hunter and smiles. "Oh hey, Hunter."

He was taken by surprise, as his eyes grew wider. "Tori! W-What are you doing here?" He looks at Leanne as she bit her lip.

"I'll uhh...take that and leave you two alone." She takes the clipboard from Tori's hands and shuts the door behind.

"This is such a great place, Hunter." The blonde continues to observe the place. "The students will love it here."

He arches his brow. "Yeah, thanks. So why are you here? I thought you wanted to resume your teachings at the Wind Ninja Academy."

She shrugged. "Well, I talked to Sensei about that and Tally has been doing a great job during my absence, so..." Tori trails off, looking at the floor.

Hunter smiles. "So?"

"So...I gave her my position as Sensei."

"What?!" He chuckles in disbelief. "But I thought you love teaching. I didn't think you would give it away."

"Yes, I know...but I thought I do something different with my life."

Hunter wrinkles his forehead curiously. "Like what? You're a graduate now. You can do possibly anything."

"You're right, and this it."

He didn't understand. "What?"

Tori smiles mischievously. "Well...Leanne and I talked about this awhile ago after resigning my position as Sensei and she decided to open up an extracurricular class for thunder students."

"An extracurricular class?"

"Yeah. Not only would you and Leanne teach the students to command the power of thunder, but I'd be holding up a class where kids could learn how to develop the power of water as well." Hunter folds his arms, keen to the idea. "It's open to those who are interested."

"So...you traveled hundreds of miles just to do that? I mean...this could be done back home in Blue Bay Harbor."

Tori bit her lip. "You're right. But the only difference is, you're not there." He looks up at her. She shuts her eyes and takes a deep, nervous breath. "The truth is, I'm falling for you and I won't deny that anymore. I don't want to hide because it's you that I want, and I'm sorry if I haven't fought harder enough, but---" Tori's sentence was cut off when Hunter took her in his arms and gently brush his lips against hers. He moved his head back and stares sincerely into Tori's eyes. "Wow."

Hunter chuckles. "Wow? All I get is a wow?"

"Wow. Great. Nice. Amazing. Sorry, but I'm running out of adjectives."

"Yeah. I can see that. But a Blue Bay Harbor University graduate can do better than that." He stated jokingly.

Hey!" She smacked him on the shoulder. Hunter laughs. "So does that mean we're partners?"

He looks down at her extended hand. The dirty blonde thinks about it for a brief moment before smiling. "Partners." The two shook hands on it as he pulls her towards him for another kiss.
