Emmett POV
Happy Birthday! That's right it's been a year since we've been here and now we've got Kalarippayattu, Taekwondo, Karate, and Muay Thai. What took people years to learn we learned in a month for each style it was really hand to hand and then when we left they sat us down in front of a screen and had us view fighting techniques and moves for each fighting style and then the next day we'd stumble through it and usually on our 4th try depending on the difficulty of the move we would have it down pack and ready to combine moves and sharpen hits and take hits and all kinds of shit.
We made our way to the non-obstacle course to see two Russian guys standing there watching us,
"This is Mr. V and his assistant Ralph, don't slack" Shares smirked before walking off while Ares's dog trainers led Ares off
We learned fucking Sambo, do you understand he taught us Sambo which is easier when you've got a few fight styles down packed. Now we're sitting in the infirmary we just finished getting our third shot for the day, yeah they doubled our dosage from 2 shots a day to 4 now.
"We're going to strap you up to this computer so we can understand the way your brain is functioning when it comes to absorbing material" Dr. Isaacs informed, before he and his lab techs attached sensors to the three of us and injected a needle into arm for some reason I didn't really care they were always sticking us with needles. They turned on the video shut the lights off and left us. Sometime I wonder if we were Guinea pigs they were testing this stuff on before they released it to the public. If that's the case I want 10 percent commission for providing my body.
Somewhere in the World
A horde of mutated humans chased down a woman as she ran up the steps trying to open the door; there was a large horde of people trying to exit through a rather large gate in front of a bridge.
A woman wakes up moaning in pain and screams as she removes two sensors from the side of her head.
Emmett POV
"Bella" I called quietly
"Yes" she answered
"Did I wake you up?"
"No, I can't sleep"
"Me neither…can we talk?"
"Sure"
"…."
"Em?"
"Uh yeah" what the hell am I doing, she's going to shoot me down and then she's going to tell Jazz who will then proceed to kill me
"You wanted to talk…"
"I did didn't I"
"That's what you said"
"Yeah I did…" just say it Jazz won't kill you worst case scenario he tells you to stay away from his sister
"I'm waiting"
"Okay I'm just going to say it feel free to stop me when you want to stop talking"
"Got it"
"So you know you're hot like, Hollywood one of the best hot, guys breaking down your door so you can breathe on them hot, guys coming in their pants because you looked at them hot, makes every girls confidence drop jus by entering a room hot, perfect smile, perfect everything, words don't you do you justice hot"
"Thank you?"
"You're welcome. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've probably got some guy at home waiting for you or something"
"You want to know the truth?"
"It's two and you still don't know who to choose"
"No that's not it, Jazz over there made sure every guy never came within a ten foot radius of me and never looked at me longer than a glance, every time he felt they were too close or looked too long they always ended up either bleeding from somewhere, having a broken limb, or a black eye so boys were a no go when I was actually out of jail, besides I was only 13 some boys are just figuring out girls don't have cooties and that the use of soap and water on a regular basis is a good thing."
"Why not attack me when we were in the transport van?"
"Winchester has a lot of male guards and 60% of the female guards are either bisexual or lesbian plus it's co-ed he learned to resist the urge to hit everyone who looked at me for longer than he liked"
"How do you feel about it?"
"It doesn't faze me I know what I look like and I like to think he's always looking out for me I would never give him a hard time on something like that because he's my big brother as far as he's concerned no matter how little the time difference he's the one that was there for me when my dad died and I was the one there for him when our mom fell off the bandwagon. Besides for all those people who stare, and I'm not saying I'm the deepest person in the world, but I do see the way people look at me and I've never seen someone look at me for more than my body it's always either lust or jealousy nothing else"
"So say if you liked a guy you wouldn't date him if Jazz wasn't okay with it?"
"Exactly"
"Do you think Jazz likes me?"
"He hasn't hit you yet right? Jazz says you're like the brother he's never had and Jazz takes family serious it's right up there with loyalty, trust, and our shared secret obsession with Batman"
"How do you feel about me?"
"One of my best friends not that I have had many of those, but yeah you're right there behind Jazz but I don't think of you in anyway as a brother"
"Just a friend?"
"Maybe how do you feel about that?"
"I think you're hiding something"
"Like what?"
"So there's no other guy you know that you like more than friend?"
"Kellan Lutz but he's not really my friend now is he?"
"Ha, ha I mean a real man"
"Oh he's real very real"
"Okay fine whatever now answer the question"
"Maybe what's it to you?"
"Do I know him?"
"I don't know, do you?"
"Okay if a guy liked you for you and your body was a bonus what would he do?"
"Tell me first and hope Jasper doesn't try to gut him with a ballpoint pen, why are you so curious Em?"
"Cause…I just want to know"
"People never just want to know anything Em"
"Why not?"
"That's not how the mind works, that's not how human beings work and definitely not us. So again I ask why so curious?"
"If circumstances were different and we knew each other would you date me?"
"Circumstances don't have anything to do with it. You do what you want circumstances are just an excuse the three of us of all people should know that."
"Okay so would you date me?"
"Depends I know you're attracted to me that much is obvious are your feelings deeper than physical attraction you answer that one"
"What if I said yes?"
"Then I would say yes but you didn't so no. Goodnight Emmett" she said
"Idiot" I whispered quietly dropping my head back onto the pillow
Not too long later Jazz woke up,
"Hey what are you doing awake?" he asked Bella of course why would she be talking to me, like she was and miraculously become exhausted after having a 5 minute conversation with me
"I can't sleep, why are you up?"
"I've got to take a piss" he huffed climbing out the bed and rushing to the bathroom
"Thought you went to sleep on me" I smirked
"I never said I was going to bed, I just told you good night" she explained, I stopped talking as Jazz flushed the toilet, washed his hands, and came out the bathroom
"Night Bells try to get some sleep" he coaxed placing a soft kiss on her forehead before climbing into his bed
The next morning we were up doing our morning routine while they built a bunch of barracks for refugees from some city somewhere, whatever they don't tell us shit I don't even know who the President is…ain't that some shit!
"Могу ли я у вас кое-что спросить? (Can I ask you something?)" I asked as Jazz stood over me to spot me while I did bench presses
"да (Yeah)"
"Если бы мы никогда не встречались в тюрьме, вы все еще со мной дружить? (If we never met in jail would you still be friends with me?)"
"Да, мы по-прежнему имеют те же вещи в общем (Yeah we would still have the same things in common)"
"Мне нравится твоя сестра, много (I like your sister, a lot)"
"Чувак ты действительно толкая его прямо сейчас (Dude you're really pushing it right now)"
"Просто выслушайте меня. Я знаю, вы думаете, каждый парень любит здесь на ее теле, но ее личность так же, как сексуально, если не больше. (Just hear me out. I know you think every guy likes here for her body but her personality is just as sexy if not more.)"
"Вы действительно серьезно относитесь к этим дерьмом (You're really serious about this shit)"
"Как сердечный приступ. Я должен признаться, что я облажался (As a heart attack. I've got to admit though I fucked up)"
"Что ты сделал? (What did you do?)"
"Я не мог спать прошлой ночью так Белла и я говорил, пока ты спал, и я уверен, что, когда я пытаюсь выяснить, лучший способ пойти о своих чувствах я, возможно, обозленный ее. (I couldn't sleep last night so Bella and I were talking while you slept and I'm pretty sure while I was trying to figure out the best way to go about my feelings I may have pissed her off.)"
"Чувак плохая идея. Во-первых, она не любит людей, которые ходить вокруг да около вы должны только что рассказал ей, как вы чувствовали себя, спросил ее, а потом спросил меня сегодня утром, и вы, ребята, был бы в порядке. Во-вторых, я знаю, что она действует не нравится, но ей нравится парень, вот и все тестостерона и любит брать на себя ответственность, не спрашивайте меня, почему я знаю, что дерьмо все, что я знаю, это был такой парень, мой папа был и вид парень и я. Третий гипотетические вопросы мочу от нее и обстоятельств вопросы, потому что она знает, за то человек будет делать все, что они хотят, независимо от обстоятельств, у нас был опыт работы с такого рода вещи. (Dude bad idea. First off, she doesn't like people who beat around the bush you should've just told her, asked her out, and then asked me this morning and you guys would've been fine. Second I know she doesn't act like it but she likes a guy that's all testosterone and likes to take charge, do not ask me why I know that shit all I know is it was the kind of guy my Dad was and the kind of guy I am. Third hypothetical questions piss her off and circumstance questions, because she knows for a fact a person will do whatever they want no matter the circumstances, we've had experience with that kind of stuff.)"
"Дерьмо я спросил обстоятельство вопросы прошлой ночью (Shit I asked circumstance questions last night)"
"Ну, я могу поговорить с ней, но если вы только собираетесь ходить вокруг да около она просто получить зол на меня тоже. (Well I can talk to her but if you're just going to beat around the bush she'll just get pissed at me too.)"
"Я не буду, я просто понял, потому что типа она была девушкой она попытается кастрировать меня, если я сошел слишком сильным и требовательным (I won't, I just figured because of the type of girl she was she'd try to castrate me if I came off too strong and demanding)"
"Странные вещи, самки. (Weird things, females are.)"
"Расскажи мне об этом. (Tell me about it)"
The day seemed to drag on forever as we practiced our fighting, got our shots, and watched or Sambo video while we were hooked up to machines to read our brain functions again, but we finally ended back up in our room,
"Bella can I talk to you?" Jazz asked quietly
"Sure" she said sitting on the far end of the couch which happened to be far away from me while Jazz took the seat right next to her,
"Go keep Em company Ares" Jazz said gesturing to me, Ares licked Bella's fingers and she reached down and stroked him lightly before patting him on the side lovingly and sending him on his way. Ares trotted over to me and we started playing while I half paid attention to what they were saying to each other but they were hunched into each other whispering quietly to one another, I don't think I've ever been that close to Bella because even when we do spar we're not allowed to spar with one another but with the guards they have chosen for us to spar with. Not that it's not fun all, of us see how they look at us fingers just twitching to shoot us at the slightest sign of bad behavior.
Dinner came and went,
"Good luck, it's on you but if Bella complains about you about anything I will personally see to it that you'll have a flag pole shoved up your ass while you're still alive, conscious, and aware am I clear? And that would be me giving you some slack because we were once friends." he growled menacingly. The shit that scared me, and I don't scare, was that the gleam his eyes had and the intensity assured me that he meant every word, there was doubt in my mind that Jazz would die if it meant Bella was going to better off and vice a versa, now that was sibling love.
"I got it Jazz" I nodded
"You better I'm trusting you Em there's only one other person I trust Em and she's sitting over there remember that"
"If I fuck up Jazz I'll help you find the flag pole" I don't honestly think I could hurt Bella, at least no intentionally anyway, I'm not going to say I'm in love with her, but I'm not going to say it's not on its way to something like that and that shit scared me
"Yeah well I hope we don't get to that" he nodded before leading Ares off to play with
I sat next to Bella relatively close not enough to invade her personal space although she smelled heavenly and I just wanted to revel in it,
"You must feel really proud about yourself huh?" she asked eyes narrow
"You're mad" it wasn't a question it was pretty damn obvious
"What gave it away?"
"I don't know what I did"
"First if you're going to talk about someone in a foreign language make sure you know how to whisper and that the person you're talking about can't understand the language"
"So you heard our entire conversation?"
"Yes"
"So you know how I feel"
"Yes I do"
"So why are you still mad?"
"Because you weren't listening to Jasper when you talked"
"Yes I did"
"No you didn't because if you did Jasper wouldn't have been the one to talk to me in order to soften me up"
"He offered"
"So, I promise you if it was something you were serious about you would've told him no and done it yourself"
"What does that mean?"
"It means that when it's important to you you'll do what you have to get it done, if you wanted an us you would've talked to me no matter how pissed I am because if you talk I'll hear you and I'll eventually start listening, you chose to let Jazz go ahead of you"
"But…"
"No buts Em, Jasper spelled out the kind of guy I liked and you don't seem to fit the shoe so don't try to wear it" she said before standing leaving me, my jaw was tight with emotion, I always fucked shit up
"I'm going to shower" she said before walking off to grab her things to shower with before heading into the bathroom and closing it behind her, and some honest shit I felt like crying so much that I checked to see if I was crying
"How'd it go?" Jazz asked coming over, and I glared I know it wasn't his fault but the impulsive part of me which was winning right now blamed him
"You should know" I said standing up and glaring down at him, I had grown and was now 6'6'' and a 4 inch difference could be really intimidating
"Whoa" he said stepping back, "What are you talking about?"
"I should've known what kind of guy would help a guy go out with his sister? Especially a sister like that"
"Still clueless"
"You sabotaged me"
"What are you talking about I helped you, it's not my fault you fucked up"
"I fucked up I didn't even have a chance to fuck up you made sure of that"
"You're blaming me after I stuck my neck out you're going to stand there and blame me for you striking out for the second time"
"You must have had a field day pumping me up knowing she was going to shoot me down"
"That's not my fault what you say when you talk to her"
"I didn't say anything you piece of shit you did"
"Huh?"
"If you knew she liked a guy that took charge why the fuck would you offer to talk to her first unless you were trying to sabotage me"
"What?"
"You heard me the first time"
"Bella shot you down because I talked to her?"
"Yes you fucking asshole" I growled lowly taking a warning step towards him
"Shit Em I'm sorry I should've known she'd say something like that, I wasn't thinking. Em I promise you I would've told you if I didn't want you to go after Bella you asked me why lie and let you get shot down? Em I love you like a brother man we've only known each other for a little over a year but I feel like I've known you longer I wouldn't do something like that to you. Em I really am sorry"
"Shit Jazz I'm sorry" I sighed flopping down on the couch and rubbing my face
"So what exactly did she say?"
"She heard our conversation and that I obviously wasn't listening because if I was I wouldn't have let you talk to her first. Then she said I didn't seem like the guy she liked and since the shoe didn't fit I shouldn't try to wear it."
"Ouch"
"Yeah tell me about it"
"Well give her a few days you know to cool off hopefully and then go for it" Jazz offered, I nodded groaning watching as Bella came out the bathroom and sat herself down on her bed and Ares trotted over to her while she pet Ares
