Trust (Power Rangers Ninja Storm - Hunter Bradley)

Gwen smiled as she waved over to her friends. They rolled their eyes at her and turned the other way. Gwen ran over and tapped them on the shoulder. "Is something wrong?" She asked.

"Look Gwen, we're tired of being around you. We never liked you in the first place." Shane admitted.

"What?" Gwen questioned.

"The only reason we even became your friend was because we felt bad. You looked so depressed. Now we realize that was a mistake." Tori said.

"You guys are joking right? Dustin, this has to be a prank?" She asked him.

Dustin rolled his eyes and glared at her. It broke her heart to see him look at her like that. "Like Shane said, we never liked you. You're just too sad to be around."

"You didn't actually expect us to enjoy being around you? That's pathetic." Blake laughed.

Gwen's heart broke more and more with each word that came out of her mouth. She wasn't sure how she started crying.

She looked around for anyone else. She spotted Hunter and ran towards him, grabbing his arm and turned him around to face her. "Hunter, somethings wrong. Something has to be wrong."

Hunter pulled his arm away. "How is it that you somehow keep running to me?" He questioned with a smirk. It wasn't one of his usual flirty smirks, it looked more taunting. "Has your head really not figured out that I'm not into you like that. I could never like someone like you."

Gwen stepped back, her heart now completely breaking in half. It this point, she was in a room all by herself. She sat in the corner, the only thing she could hear were the voices of her friends taunting her.

"I never liked you."

"You'll never be fully happy."

"We were never friends."

She covered her ears to block out their voices. But it would go away. It was as if they were talking in her head. "Stop."

The voices kept going. "Stop, please." She begged, tears completely spilling out. "Stop."

Hunter stood at the doorway watching her cry. She refused to let anyone try and comfort her. It didn't seem like she was fully herself. She cried with her hands covering her ears, begging someone to stop.

"No, no, no. Stop, please." She mumbled.

Hunter so badly wanted to pull her into his arms and hug her. But she wouldn't let anyone near her. He closed the door behind him and walked back towards the others. "How is she?" Blake asked.

"Not getting any better." Hunter frowned. "Find anything?"

"I've analyzed the brainwaves of the people Eyezik attacked. It seems his collar can harness their deepest fears. Which is what what's happening with Gwen right now." Cam explained.

"That's low, even for Lothor. " Tori said.

"We better make the repairs to the Tsunami Cycles, just incase we need them."

"Someone had a little accident." Blake mocked while looking at Tori.

"Alright, then I'll see you guys later." Cam said.

"Actually, I think I'll stay. I don't want her to be alone in the room." Hunter said.

Cam turned his chair to face Hunter. "Look, we have no clue on how to get that thing off of her. The best thing we could do right now is find a way to get rid of that stupid dog. And Fixing the Tsunami Cycles can really help us out. It'll help her." Cam said.
