Your Turn 3
When the next Nilok attacked, the team rushed to the scene. He was a 6 eyed lizard with some serious melting powers from all of the eyes. When he blasted at Emily, Jayden deflected all of the lazars. Soon, he blasted at her with a lot of heat.
She couldn't dodge it in time.
"NO!" Jayden cried, jumping in front of her.
He screamed in agony as the heat burned him badly. When he woke up again, he was in his bed, covering with burn cream. Emily, as well as the others, were standing around him.
"Oh, Jayden," Emily breathed, "we took care of the monster, but you're burnt across the face and chest. I'm sorry."
"It's alright," Jayden said, "better me than you."
Suddenly, he noticed a burn across Emily's arm. He felt like punching his burn, he was so angry.

"Em, I must keep you safe," Jayden said, "I'm not going to let anything hurt you."
"Being a samurai means getting hurt sometimes," Emily said, "so I can't avoid all of it. But just ease up. I'll be fine, Jay."
Reluctantly, Jayden nodded.
"Good," Emily smiled, "now, let's go get you a cupcake. Those kicks couldn't have felt good."
