Four or Dead

Chapter 29

Leo... Present...

"again!" Emma growled out in frustration to Jayden as she pulled herself off the mat.

"Come on baby you need a break," Logan called out to her but she just waved him off. "No, I need to do this." She said instead.

Emma had been sparing with Jayden for over an hour and it was clear she was exhausted but she wouldn't stop. We tried to get her to just sit for a few minutes but she refused. She was strong for sure and picked up the moves Jayden showed her a lot quicker than most. They had moved past self-defense moves to full-on sparring in hand-to-hand fighting. She was a natural but she was losing energy and we all could see it.

She didn't want to be seen as the weak link in our group, but the boys and I had been training since we were young. This was new for her and she needed to build muscle and endurance to spare correctly for long periods.

tired and too angry. Anger was never a good emotion to go into a fight with. When you attack in anger you tire out quickly giving your opponent an advantage.

"Emma you don't have anything to prove to us or anyone. This is simply to protect yourself if you need to." Jayden reminded her.

She stopped fighting him and I could see a silent conversation passing between them. Jayden was a hard guy to understand but Emma was not just anyone. She seemed to understand us better than anyone ever has. She offered each of us exactly what we need which shouldn't make sense but she was special that way. There weren't many girls who would be able to handle the emotional baggage of just one of us, but she was able to handle us all with ease.

I glanced to Logan and he nodded. Emma and Jayden needed some time alone so we stood and left the workout room.

"She is a lot better than J thought she would be," Logan admitted proudly when we walked into the kitchen.

"She is. It was always in her, she was just too afraid to use it." I said in agreement.
