I had to update. Emily sounded a bit ooc from the show, but I can really see her being like this. She's a strong girl.:) anyway, hope you guys like it.

Emily took a bite of her apple, the sweet tangy taste ran down her throat as she watched Jayden. He was sitting in the living room. The silence of him reading letting her know that this was where Jayden belonged. He liked it there. She narrowed her eyes slightly, but then sighed and took another bite.

"Are you done watching me?" Jayden asked out of the blue. Emily wanted to be surprised, but she knew how Jayden was. There really was no option.

"No."

Jayden looked up with a sort of annoyed look. Apparantly Emily had bothered him in the best part of the book or something. Well good. He deserved it.

"I'm not sure you undestand why I had to tell Mike to keep away from you."

"I don't want to hear it, Jayden. It's not important anyway." Emily sighed and bit her lip.

Hearing herself say that- It was true. There was no importance to her feelings for Mike. Maybe Jayden had thought that he had feelings for her, but Emily would never be sure. Not when Jayden had ordered Mike not to react to her feelings.

Emily wanted to tell him that he had no right- It was embarrasing to have him to this, but... She bit her lip again. The reason was that it could put all of them and their mission in danger, but was that a good enough reason for Jayden to butt into their business and act like he knew better than them?

That was what made Emily angry.

"You made sure it wasn't important. Just orderring Mike around like that. I bet you he didn't even like me."

Jayden watched her calmly. Emily huffed and continued.

"Why did you even do it?"

"For the good of the team...to keep you both safe...I'm sure nothing would suffice."

"And you're right..." Emily turned and left, throwing her apple in the garbage bin as she left.

Practicing for hours on end didn't help as much as Emily would have wanted, but it kept her mind away from thoughts she could easily do without. But as she practiced she didn't give notice to the person who had joined her. She knew they were there, but thinking it was Mia or Kevin, she kept on practicing, until she paused to regain her cool and turned to find Mike standing there.

"Hey." He said with a smile.

Emily panted before slowly breaking into a small smile herself. "What are you doing here? I thought we weren't supposed to talk?" She joked, but felt a pang of anger run through her. It was all directed to Jayden and she felt renewed.

"Apparantly, it's okay for us to talk, not to...date."

Emily sighed and for the first time in her life, looked at Mike in the eyes with a confidence she did not know she possessed.

"I'm sorry for all of this. For me liking you." Mike shook his head, but Emily ignored him. "All of this could have gone better had I not liked you in the beginning."

"Em, you have to remember this isn't your fault. In any case, what Jayden is doing...he's only trying to protect us."

"I know!" She snapped and closed her eyes, breathing in to regain her cool. "But it's stupid. He...I shouldn't have ever liked you. None of this would have happened if I hadn't liked you."

Mike stared at her surprised, before a small smile eased itself into his lips. "Em, it's not you, believe me."

Emily watched as he left, before thinking back on her words and she blushed furiously. Had she really, for the first time, openly, admitted her feelings for him? They were out in the open already, there was no chance of her hiding them had she wanted to.
She growled under her breath, cheeks red and her heart beating fast as she grabbed the wooden sword and began to swing it with immense force. Emily glared at the post and hit it again, again, again. Jayden's face came into it and Emily could not contain herself anymore. She began to scream as she unleashed all her feelings into the post.
When she was spent, she took a few steps back, dropped the sword, then proceeded to drop to the ground as well. She closed her eyes and tried to calm her breathing. She took a drink from the water, the cool rush of water running down her throat more welcoming than anything she would ever imagine.

She sighed satisfied and set the bottle down.

"Are you okay?"

Emily nodded, but she wasn't sure yet. She looked at Mia with a small smile. "I'm fine."
"You didn't look fine a moment ago." Mia paused. "I don't think I've ever seen you so angry." Mia said softly.

Emily looked away from her friend. She didn't want to tell her why she was so angry. It didn't feel right. It didn't feel right to talk bad about Jayden.

"I know how furstrating this is, Emily, but you have to understand." Mia shook her head, almost like she wished she wasn't saying them at all, before she continued. "Jayden only wants to help."

"I know..I'm just angry at myself." Emily said, thinking quickly of what she had just said. It didn't sound like the truth, but it felt real. "Angry that I was so stupid. I liked Mike and all this mess happened because of it."

Mia looked at Emily surprised, before she laughed gently. "Emily you know that the only reason Jayden did that was because Mike really likes you."

"Yeah he mentioned that." Emily mumbled blushing.

Mia frowned. "Well, why aren't you happy then? Sure the occasion doesn't call for it, but the guy that you like likes you back. Try to be a little more happy."

Emily glared at Mia. And it seemed that was what Mia needed to see the light. Emily took another drink from her bottle.

"You don't think he likes you?"

"How can I?" Emily asked softly. "Just because you and Jayden think, or feel, or whatever you want to call it, doesn't mean that Mike actually likes me. The only one who can tell me that is himself."

Mia frowned, then crossed her arms over her chest. "Then you should talk to him."
"No, I already made this mess, I don't need to make it worse."

"Nothing bad will happen if you just talk to him." Mia said calmly.

Emily was about to answer that yes, many bad things happened when the Gap Sensor went off and Emily and Mia looked at each other panicked. They ran to the living room and stood watchignt the city map.

"It's not there..." Mentor said surprised.

Emily squinted her eyes, but there was no dot that indicated the Nighlok was there. But still, the Gap Sensor was going off, making Emily's already troubled head hurt.
"W-what do we do?" Kevin asked unsure and for the first time, looking really off of it.
Jayden looked through the map twice, but came with no answer. The Gap Sensor never went off.

"Do we just go in groups?" Antonio asked.

"There's a lot of Gap Sensor's it would take hours just to go through them all. I think we need to wait."

"Wait?" Everyone gasped and stared at Jayden.

"What else can we do? The map isn't showing the Nighlok. We'll be blind if we go around like this."

The others looked at each other uncomfortably as the leader and Menter walked away, talking to themselves as if arguing.

"This is weird." Emily said to no one in specific.

"What can it be?" Kevin then asked.

"Whatever it is, it's really good." Antonio studied the map. Emily eyed the map as well, but it seemed that this elusive Nighlok was never going to be found.

Okay this was different, but i really liked it, hope you guys do too. :)
