Chapter Fourteen: Running Away
"JAYDEN!" Antonio yelled as he raced over to his fallen friend.
Mia and Kevin also ran over to where Jayden had collapsed on the ground.
When Jayden saw Dekker he had charged at him with his sword in hand. But Dekker had put up a challenge, so Jayden had to fight extra hard. He had managed to stab him in the heart, but in the process had also gotten hurt himself. It was not life threatening like Dekker's injury, but painful nonetheless. As a result of getting hurt, he had collapsed and fallen on the ground.
"Jayden! Are you okay?" Mia asked as she kneeled beside him in the grass.
"Yeah. I'm fine. It's just a scratch." Jayden said as he demorphed and showed them his slightly bloody leg.
"Thank god Jay! You had us so worried there!" Antonio said.
"Sorry guys. It was stupid." Jayden replied.
"What were you thinking?" Kevin asked his leader.
"I was thinking that asshole had my girlfriend and I want her back. Wait, where is Emily?" Jayden asked, looking around frantically.
"Calm down amigo. Mike and her ran away to keep em' safe." Antonio reassured him.
"Well where are they?" Jayden asked.
"Uhmm… I dunno. They just kinda, ran." Mia said.
"Mike… I am so gonna kill him." Jayden said angrily.
"Not if he kills you first…" Mia mumbled under her breath.
"Why would he kill me? He's the idiot." Jayden said, getting even more frustrated by the moment.
Mia and Kevin looked at each other nervously. They knew Mike liked Emily, but they knew Jayden and Emily were "together". Jayden needed to know Mike's feelings, but they didn't know if they should tell, or if it would be better told by Mike himself.
"Well…?" Jayden asked.
"Well.. Mike and Emily…" Kevin started before he was rudely interrupted by Jayden.
"He is so dead when I find him…" Jayden said.
***Taken***
"Mike!" Emily screamed.
"He's gonna be okay Em. But we have to keep going." Mike said after they heard the deafening scream, then Jayden's name being screamed.
"But Mike! He could be hurt! We have to go back!" Emily said as she struggled to be let down.
"Em! Stop struggling! Right now we need to find somewhere safe! Then I promise you can call Jayden and check on him. Okay?" Mike asked.
Emily sniffled as she began to cry, "Okay Mike."
Emily looked back over Mike's shoulder, but couldn't see anything because they were too far away. She knew they had to leave, but she didn't want to leave behind Jayden, and the rest of her team. Emily began to cry. She buried her face into Mike's shoulder and started sobbing.
"C'mon Em. I bet he's gonna be okay. Don't cry, I hate seeing you cry." Mike tried to console her.
Mike's plea was not heard by Emily as she continued sobbing. Mike could feel her tears starting to seep through his shirt, and he felt horrible.
He hated seeing her cry like this. And truth be told, he was jealous. He wished Emily would cry like this over him, not over Jayden. He didn't want to see her with Jayden, and he didn't want to see her cry because Jayden was being stupid.
Mike didn't think Jayden was right for her. But he couldn't tell Emily that without upsetting her more. Mike thought he be a much better boyfriend then Jayden. But if he ever wanted that chance with her, he had to be a friend first. So Mike set Emily back on the ground, and hugged her as she continued to cry her eyes out.
"It's gonna be okay Emily. Jayden is strong. Even if he did get hurt, I'm sure he'll be okay." Mike tried to comfort her.
"How do you know?" Emily said as she sniffled and lifted her head to look up at Mike.
Mike looked down at the crying girl. Her eyes were red and puffy, her face was red, and she looked like she was run over multiple times because of all the injuries she had. But she still looked up at him with those innocent hazel eyes and the face no one could resist.
Mike had no choice but to answer Emily's question honestly, "I don't know that he is gonna be okay, and I don't know that he won't die, but I do know one thing. I know he is strong, and he won't stop fighting. I know that he wouldn't want to leave you, and he is going to do everything he can to stay here with you."
Emily looked up at Mike sadly, but realized his words were true. Jayden was strong, and he would keep fighting.
"Now, how about we try and find our way home so we can go back to normal, okay?" Mike asked.
Emily laughed, "Mike, things will never be normal."
"Sad, but true. Now let's go." Mike said.
"I'm tired, and I was only recently rescued from a crazy Nighlock." Emily said.
Mike replied, "And your point is…?"
"Carry me?" Emily asked with her puppy dog face.
Mike sighed before he nodded a yes and picked Emily up and they started back on their way.
Before long Emily fell asleep in Mike's arms. Mike looked down at her sleeping figure and smiled. He continued walking through the forest in search of the Shiba House.
Before Mike could comprehend what was happening, Emily was ripped from his arms and he was tackled to the ground.
"Jayden?!" Mike yelled as he was being pinned to the ground by the furious red ranger.
