Fight

She stood in front of Aaron trying to protect him. She wasn't going to let this guy hurt him. He clearly had heatstroke. She would protect him to the death.

"I won't let you do anything to him," she said.

"Get out of the way," he shouted.

"No, I won't let you touch him."

"I won't ask again, pretty lady."

"I'm not moving."

He pushed her back hard shouting; "You will get out of my way." she was unable to get her balance and slammed into Aaron's stomach.

She heard a groan from Aaron and looked up in time to see him turn his head and throw up. He'd never throw up on her. He'd been feeling nauseous for some time now. He just hadn't wanted to show it. He'd never show weakness.

She saw their captor smile and jumped on him. She wasn't going to let him hurt Aaron while he was so vulnerable. She wouldn't let him cause him anymore pain.

She held on tight while he tried to shake her off. As long as she was distracting him he couldn't harm Aaron. She placed a thump or two on their captor's back. She'd get her own back on him. They'd win.

Suddenly she felt her grip loosen and fell to the floor landing with her leg out. She could hear the sound of breaking bones and tried to get back up but it hurt far too much and she couldn't stand.

She slammed her fists against the floor in frustration. How could she help Aaron like this? She couldn't stand and she was no good to him on the floor.

She watched in horror as he punched him in the stomach. She had to do something or he might end up with internal bleeding. He kept punching him while Emily looked around her.

There had to be something she could do. She saw the fire and a fire blanket by it. Maybe she could put the fire out and make the room cooler for him. She picked it up and threw it over the fire.

She breathed a sigh of relief as the fire went out but she heard the young man growl. She looked up just in time to see him give Aaron's stomach one heck of a blow.

She shuffled herself back and placed her arm in front of his feet in the hope of tripping him up. Soon enough she succeeded and he fell to the ground. He growled and left the room. She breathed a sigh of relief.
