Rose POV
We arrived in a clearing of sorts: our training destination. I had put my hair up in a high ponytail; it was still wet so it was going to be a nightmare later to brush. Emmett was relentlessly teasing me on the way here. He would see, though, that there would never be a situation in which he could he kick my arse.
I dumped my bag beside the others and joined Carlisle at the front of the group. He raised his eyebrows at me and I shrugged letting him know that with regards to fighting I wouldn't be talked down to.
"Alright everyone, we all know why we are here." Carlisle started what I thought was going to be a long lecture so I cut in egger to get to the fighting. I did after all have plenty of tension from the morning to burn off.
"Ok we need to be prepared, so if you know how to fight stand on that boulder over there" I pointed to the one that I meant. It was large enough for 10 people to stand on it. "And those of you who don't stand behind that tree. Carlisle didn't seem all that enthused, probably unhappy that I interrupted his motivational speech.
Emmett leapt for the boulder before the words were even out of my mouth. Jasper calmly followed leaving Edward standing unsure in the middle before he joined Esme, Alice, Rosalie and Carlisle behind the tree.
I summoned Emmett over to fight him first knowing that he had been dying to for a while.
"You're going down Hathaway!"
I grinned at him and we circled each other waiting to see who would make the first move. In the end Emmett's impatience got the better of him and he lunged. First mistake. I dodged to the side and he barrelled past me. This went on for about five minutes getting Emmett extremely frustrated before I got tired of the game of cat and mouse. His fist came at me like a wrecking ball, catching my shoulder and most likely dislocating it.
I ducked and shot my leg out sweeping him off of his feet. A crack sounded from the ground as he landed with a thud. Promptly thought he sprang back to his feet and came at me with a vengeance. The concentration on his face was prominent, jokes and laughter had gone out the window. I blocked every one of his hits and knocked him onto the ground with a roundhouse kick placing my hands in the perfect position to rip his head off.
"Dead" Emmett pouted and it looked like he would be in s foul mood for the remainder of the day.
The other Cullens were astounded that someone had beaten Emmett. It had never happened before.
"Wow Rose, I don't know if you need our help if you can fight like that" Carlisle was feeling unneeded I guess. We couldn't be having that could we?
"No you guys are helpful but combat is not all I have to fight with."
Everyone watched as I demonstrated some of the abilities that controlling elements allowed.
After training we returned back to my place. The phone rang the moment we walked into the house, talk about impeccable timing.
After getting off the phone I informed the Cullens about our expulsion project. We needed to cover the local radio station, make sure that someone was on air 24 hours a day 7 days a week for the next week.
Somehow Edward and I ended up with the doing the show for the next three hours before Rosalie and Emmett would take over for us. The moment that we were left alone the tension returned and was only heightened when we got into the enclosed car.
This should be fun . . .
