Chapter One
It had been a month since Emily and Jayden's hellish ordeal. Jayden had gotten over his poison, and was an even better swordsman than before. Emily had become better with a sword also, but as the month anniversary or her ordeal came closer, the more nightmares she began having. She would wake up screaming in the middle of, seeing Xandred's six glowing eyes, and not being able to defend herself.
Despite all this; the two had officially begun dating. They would spend hours cuddled up on the couch watching TV when not training. The other Rangers were overjoyed that the two had become a couple. They tried to avoid the Olive Garden at all costs when they went on dates however.
The battles the Rangers faced were becoming easier when fighting Xandred's forces. However, a new villain had appeared; Dekard. He was easily a better swordsman than the others, except for Jayden. The Rangers also managed to begin using Mega Mode outside of their zords, upping their power in battle greatly.
It was a Saturday, the month anniversary of the ordeal. The Rangers had just got done training. Jayden had taken on both Mike and Kevin in a sword fight, and Mia and Emily had also trained with their swords. After finishing practice, Jayden went up to Emily. "Nice moves today Em." he said, giving her a quick kiss. Emily returned the kiss. "Aw thank you, you did very well yourself." she said. He smiled. "Want to go out tonight? We could always try the Olive Garden for a second time." he asked, Emily shuddered. "Um, yeah, we could do the Olive Garden." she said, forcing a smile. "You sure, we could always go to Applebee's again." he added. They had gone to Applebee's about two weeks ago, and both loved the food. "Jayden, I'm really just tired. I had three nightmares in the course of the night. It was horrible." Emily finally admitted. Jayden looked concerned. "Are you OK? Did you just want to stay home tonight? Do you need to talk to Ji?" he asked. They had recently found out the Ji had attended college and held a degree in Psychology.
"Yeah, I'll probably talk to Ji later. I want to call my sister tonight, and see how shes doing." Emily stated. She then kissed him on the cheek. "I'm sorry Jayden." she said. "It's no problem. I'd prefer you to get better with having these nightmares, than g out on a date, and still have them." he told her. They kissed and she went into the house.
Kevin, Mike, and Mia approached Jayden. "She wasn't lying Jayden, she had three horrible nightmares last night. By the third one, she was sobbing." Mia told him. Jayden shook his head. "It's been a month since everything happened. I think its really starting to take a tool on her. She was scared to fight the Moogers yesterday. She needs to talk to Ji." he finished. They all nodded in agreement.
Once Emily got back to her room, she picked up her cell phone and dialed Serena's number. After a couple of rings, Serena answered the phone "Hey Em, how are you doing sis?" Serena asked. "I'm doing good." she lied. "Emily, I know you better than that to know that you're not alright." Serena said. Emily broke down crying then. "Serena, I've been horrible. I've been having nightmares every night the past week after everything that happened!"" Emily cried. After everything that had happened, she had called her sister and told her everything. "Emily, everything will be OK. Just try and relax. And whatever you do, do NOT say you're weak. Your lovely boyfriend and teammates told me that you were an excellent Ranger, Samurai and person, and that it took a lot of courage to be brave to go through what you did. Everything will be OK Emily, just relax. OK?" Serena asked her. Emily sniffled "Yes Serena, I understand." she finally said. "Good, now I'm going to try and get some sleep. Good night Emily, I love you baby sister." Serena told her. "I love you too big sister." Emily replied.
