"Hey!" Cora shouted, pushing the dojo doors open. Tory looked over as she stormed in.

"Get your shoes off the mat!" Tory shouted at her, staring at Coras blue vans on the mat. "That's so disrespectful."

"I heard what you did to Hawk." Cora glared at her, the pair standing face to face. Cora gave a sudden and harsh shove to her chest. "It's bullshit!"

"What's your problem?" Tory asked in anger, shoving Cora as well. "He deserved it!"

"Real fair. Five of you and one of him." Cora glared in disbelief, laugh out of anger. "Is that how you like to fight, Tory?"

"God, this is exactly why we didn't tell you." Tory glared at her, leaning down on her level some. "You can't separate your feelings from the enemy."

"No, I just know when something isn't right." Cora glared at her, the two face to face. "And one versus five is the most pussy move any of you have ever made."

Cora made sure to look around the dojo when she said it. Tory stared at her, Cora throwing her gi down. "I quite!"

"Who's the pussy now!" Tory shouted at her as Cora walked away. "Right before the All Valley. Scared you're gonna get your ass kicked so you're using your ex as an excuse to quite?"

"Oh, i'll be at the All Valley." Cora turned around to shake her head her way. "Just not with you."

With that, the bell rung over her head as she left.

Cora made the mistake of going to a gas station at night. She told herself she should have just gotten gas in the morning, because she knew better then to go to one, while she was alone, when it was dark out. But, she was on E, and being stranded on the side of the road would have been so much worse. Truth was, Cora felt slightly relived when a car pulled up next to her, because she didn't feel so alone and abandoned.

All that went to shit when two people jumped out of the car, one tossing a bag over her head, and the other lifting her with a throw into the backseat. Cora was terrified, yelling from the bag, thinking the absolute worst. Human trafficking, kidnapping, murder, everything crossed her mind as she was ignored in the back. It wasn't until she was lifted again, brought into a room, that she got any answers.

"Tory? Kyler?" Cora looked back and forth between the two. Kyler had her hands pinned down, Cora realized she laid on the table in the back of the tattoo shop. "What the hell?"

"You're gonna open your mouth, aren't you?" Tory shook her head down at her. "Tell your stupid boyfriend we've been using Miyagi-Do?"

Cora looked in disbelief as she fought against Kylers hold. She laughed in disbelief. "Let me the hell go!"

"I want to make sure you keep your mouth shut." Tory grabbed her face with a harsh glare. "I really started to like you too."

Tory walked away, leaving Cora to fight and push against Kylers hands that had her wrist pressed down. A buzzing noise echoed, Coras eyes widened. "Tory!"

"Sorry, C." Cora grabbed one of her arms, holding it tightly. "You're a snitch. And you know what happened to snitches."

"I'm not gonna say anything!" Cora tried to fight against her hand, Coras grip tight on her. "I swear! I'm not gonna say anything! I'm not gonna say anything! Let me go!"

"Have to make sure." Kyler spoke for the first time, helping Tory hold Coras arm still. "Better be still or it'll look worse."

The Dealership had a trigger, it woke Daniel and Amanda up. He assumed it had been a few drunks people stumbled over, trying to get in. He went ahead to check it out, pulling on a jacket and driving over. The front door was triggered, Daniel looked alarmed when he saw a shadow by the door. He sighed, getting out of the car. "Hey! You can't be here, we're closed!"

He'd had a new junkies try to sleep near the door all the time, assuming it. The shadow stood up. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

It belonged to a girl, a crying girl. Daniel approached, turning his flashlight on. "Hey, are you okay?"

"I just needed to-to wait for the uber to come." she said back, crying. Her eyes squinted when he got close, shining the light right in her face. Daniel had recognized her from Cobra Kai, and Cora immediately realize he had. "I'm not here to do anything, I swear."

Her tears made him sigh. "Did something happen? Are you hurt?"

"I just really want to get out of here but my car is at the gas station and I don't even know this part of town." Cora cried, whipping her face. When she rose her hand, Daniel saw the blood through her long sleeve shirt.

"Is this your blood?" he grabbed her hand, pulling her sleeve up. His face fell at the sight on her arm. "Did they do this to you?"

Cora nodded her head, sniffling as Daniel stared down at her arm. From her wrist, all the way to her forearm, tattooed the letters S-N-I-T-C-H.

"You don't have to do this for me." Cora said when Daniel brought her back to his house. She sat on the counter in the bathroom, the fresh tattoo still bleeding as he whipped the blood for her.

"No kid is gonna bleed on the street." Daniel said with a knowing look. "Are you allergic to any type of ointment?"

Cora shook her head. Daniel pulled one from the bag. "You're suppose to put this on after a tattoo to help it heal."

Cora frowned, looking at her arm. "What could I get that covers this?"

Daniel tilted his head, pointing toward the end of the letters. "They're thin lines, maybe you can get some vines."

"My parents are gonna kill me." Cora admitted with a long exhale. "I think i'm gonna get it lasered off."

He applied the ointment to her arm. "I hear that's really painful."

"Yeah." the blonde frowned. "She was my friend."

Daniel looked at her. "What?"

"My friend. She did this to me." Cora nodded her head.

"Why?" he asked her, wrapping her arm better.

Cora sniffled, her nose still red and stuffed from crying earlier. "I quite, and she wanted to make sure I wouldn't snitch."

Daniel sighed, shaking his head. "That dojo is dangerous. That isn't karate."

Cora watched him wrapped her arm in saran wrap for her, her uncle did it after he got his arm tattoo. "I'm sorry, Mr.LaRusso."

He met her eye again. "For what?"

Cora frowned, on eye level as she shook her head sadly. "For all of it. I'm not a bad person. I promise."

Daniel sighed, nodding his head. "Cobra Kai is dangerous."

"But, that wasn't me." Coras eyes watered as she stared at him. "I'm just so sorry. For all I did to Sam, to your house. Non of it was fair."

"You hold your guard." Daniel nodded at her seriously. "Don't let them break you again."

Cora nodded, trying to hold back a cry. "I won't."

Daniel rubbed her head slightly. "I'll drive you home."
