How Can I Survive This

Chapter One

How am I Going to Survive This

Set after Tory runs out of the dojo in season 6 episode 5.

Yes, I know Kreese killing Tory's mom is a crazy fan theory, but I put it in because of how I want this story to go.

Amanda was at home, waiting for Daniel after trying to find Tory. Daniel walked in and Amanda started speaking. "You replaced her? How the hell can you just go and replace her like she meant nothing?"

"She was never going to be a true Miyagi-Do karate student, Amanda," Daniel said, and Amanda was surprised by the lack of empathy her husband was showing.

"Wow." Amanda scoffed. "After everything these kids have gone through you're willing to throw away the one kid who just lost half of her world? You do realize all she has left is her brother, right?" Amanda asked, watching Daniel's face and was surprised at how there was no sympathy or empathy. "You know she's most likely going to give up karate or go back to Kreese if he is brave enough to come back, right?" Amanda pointed out and Daniel's face paled. "Yeah. Didn't think that through, did you?" Amanda asked rhetorically and walked out of the living room.

After Tory left the dojo she rushed off and went to her house. She packed up a bag and was about to leave when she heard a knock on the door. Tory froze, she didn't want to see anyone right now. She just wanted to be alone. She wanted to get out of the valley but was shocked when the door swung open.

"Nichols," Kreese said, and Tory began to back up. "I heard about your mother," Kreese told her, and Tory's face hardened.

"So? Just leave me the fuck alone, Kreese. I don't need you." Tory told him, anger growing.

"Who said I'm giving you a choice?" Kreese asked and Tory scoffed. "It's either you come with me, or I go after your brother next," Kreese said, and Tory paled.

"You- You killed my mom?" Tory asked, face dropping. "Ho- How? They said she developed a blood clot."

"I didn't cause the blood clot. But injecting someone with something deadly can cause a pulmonary embolism." Kreese explained, a smirk on his face. "So? Are you going to come with me or are you going to make me kill the last person in your family that cares about you?"

Tory looked at Kreese, not believing how far he went to try to get her. Tory was frozen. She didn't know what to say. She didn't want her brother to be gone too.

"I'm waiting," Kreese said, holding a cigar in his hand.

Tory exhaled. She hated this. "Fine," Tory said, finished packing her bag, leaving behind her Miyagi-Do Gi with a heavy heart. She didn't want to go. She was finally in a good place with everyone.

When they got to Korea Kreese took her to where he was staying. He directed her to the room she would be staying in. When she opened the door she looked to where the small twin-size bed was and noticed a Gi on it. She sighed.

Back to the black Gi, I go. Tory thought.

Tory put it on and followed Kreese to the Dojang. She followed and saw a group of what looked to be 20 students practicing. She watched as they worked on a move Tory had never seen when she heard footsteps come from behind her.

"Ms. Nichols. Good to see you again." Tory heard a voice say from behind her and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up." Kim. Sensei Kim. Schooling her features she turned around and there she was. A smirk on her face. Tory's blood ran cold. She was in a new country, with no friends. The man who killed her mother, a sensei who abused rather than taught her. She had no one.
