Chapter 8 - Blame.
"Sir, we managed to capture the girl." Zurgane said.
"Hey! I have a name you know!" Sapphire shouted
"Silence human!" Zurgane said back.
Lothor got up off his throne and walked over to Sapphire who was struggling to get free of the kalzacks grip.
"So you're the one who can cause chaos and havoc." He says as he walks round her. He then looks back at Zurgane, "Are you sure she's the one?"
"Yes Sir, quite sure. If you'll allow me to demonstrate." Zurgane then held up the necklace key that they had taken from her earlier.
She gasps, "My necklace." She says surprised, her anger begins to boil up inside of her. "Alright, who are you!? And why have you brought me here!?" she shouted.
"All you need to know is that you're going to help us destroy the rangers." Lothor answered.
"No." she said quietly.
Lothor chuckled evilly as Zurgane and the kalzacks took Sapphire away.

"Now that Lothor has Sapphire, what are we suppose to do? Just let him destroy the planet?" Dustin moans.
"Maybe it won't come to that." Cam says.
"What do you mean, Cam?" Tori asks.
"I've found the entrance to the ancient chamber…" he began.
"So we can go and get Sapphire back before Lothor gets a chance to use her." Shane says with determination.
"Something like that."
Blake looked at his brother; Hunter hadn't said anything since he told them all that Sapphire had been taken. "You okay, Bro?"
Hunter gave a nod.
"It wasn't your fault you know." Blake reassures thinking that Hunter might be blaming himself for Sapphire's capture.
Hunter looked at Blake then walked off.
"Where's he going?" Dustin says.
"I don't think he's taking Sapphire's capture very well." Blake answers.
"He probably just needs sometime alone." Tori says.
Shane looked at where Hunter had just exited for a couple of seconds then decided to go after him, much to everyone's surprise.
"What's with those two?" Dustin said scratching his head.
"I'm not sure, Dustin." Cam answers.
Tori rolled her eyes, "You guys are so dumb."
They all look at her confused.
"Shane's probably annoyed and upset about 'losing' Sapphire." Blake finally said.
"And Hunter?" Dustin asked.
Blake shrugged, "Who knows."
"Maybe he's feeling guilty that he couldn't protect Sapphire better." Cam thinks aloud.
"You guys really don't get it, do you." Tori said.
"Get what, Tor?" Blake asks.
Tori fought back the blush that was threatening to come out. "That Hunter likes Sapphire."
"Yeah, so what. We all like her." Dustin says clearly not getting what Tori was saying.

Sapphire sat in her little 'cell' wondering how her life could have come to this. She sighed /-no matter what that…freak does. There's no way I'm helping him destroy my friends.-/ she thought /-how can I do that anyway? I'm just a girl.-/

Shane found Hunter looking out at the same lake Cam had been before he became a ranger.
"You okay?" he asks.
Hunter turns round a little surprised by the voice, he nods then turns back to the lake.
"Hey, she's tough. She'll be fine." Shane reassures.
Again Hunter just nods.
They stood there in a comfortable silence for a few moments before Hunter says.
"I should've protected her better."
Surprised by Hunter's sudden statement, Shane look at him.
"It wasn't your fault."
"Yes it was." He states, "I let my guard down and they managed to get her."
Shane sighed and looked back out at the lake. No matter how much he would tell Hunter it wasn't his fault, he wouldn't believe him, but maybe he could distract him a little. He gave a quiet chuckle at what he was thinking. Hunter looked at him like he'd just lost his mind.
"What?"
"Nothing."
"Oh come on, don't give me that." Hunter said a tad annoyed.
A sly smile appeared on Shane's face, "You like her."
"Huh?" Hunter replied extremely surprised.
Shane looked at Hunter.
"You. Like. Her." He repeated allowing it to sink in.
"What makes you say that?" trying hide his embarrassment.
"It's so obvious." Shane replied annoying Hunter a little.

I know it's kinda short and a little crappy but I can't think how to continue it right now.
