Chapter 6
Jayden walked uneasily with the feeling that he was being watched. He hesitantly turned around but found nothing but the gloom of the night. He passed through the towering trees. Twigs cracking dryly under his sore feet. The wind howled crying out in sorrow. Suddenly he could make out the silhouette of a girl. A faint scream rang out through the forest. His walk broke in to a run he could feel the terror of the girl. He could feel that she was in danger. Abruptly he was out of the forest and on a plain barren field. He looked around and saw Emily her blond hair flecked with dry bits of blood. "Emily" he screamed she gave no response. Jayden then realised who the capturer was it was a nighlock in fact it was Master Xandred. Jayden tried to summon his spin sword but failed. He tried once more but it still didn't come. He soon realised after further attempt it wasn't going to come. So he could only watch helplessly watch as Master Xandred gripped his fingers tightly around Emily's bruised neck. The sound of Emily chocking dragged him away from his horrific dream. He woke up with a gasp. He panted heavily, telling himself that it wasn't real it was just a dream. He briskly checked the clock and saw it was 7:30 am. He cursed himself for waking up late and got dressed and preceded to the kitchen to make a flask of tea. While he was making the tea all he could think about was Emily, and all he could see was Emily. He saw Emily playing the flute outside through the window and it made him smile. He was always happy when she was around. He picked up the flask and strolled out side. Jayden approached Emily and asked her "do you want to go for a walk just around the forest"? Jayden asked "Um yeah sure" Emily replied. They sat off and walked at a reasonable pace and talked about their childhoods. Then he asked a question that left her speechless. He clicked his knuckles and gave her a cool confident smile. "Do you wanna go out with me"? Jayden asked her confidently. "I- I'm sorry but I don't feel that way about you, you are like an older brother to me" Emily stammered. Jayden's face fell and he stormed back to the house. "Jayden" Emily calls out "Wait please". She then sank down on the floor and let her tears stream down her face. Later on that day Ji announced training time. Coincidently Jayden and Emily were paired together. They began sparing and as the fight went on they got more and more aggressive. Jayden went in to attack Emily but missed. Emily took the opportunity symbol for rock and hurtled it at him. Jayden hit a large knobbly tree backwards. Fuelled by this Jayden out of a burst of anger he used the tree as a platform to do a back flip to simultaneously shoot fire balls at Emily. However she just about managed to shield her self with sprays of water. Jayden landed behind her and saw his chance to bring her down. With the speed of light he shot a fireball at Emily's back. She gasped her knees began to buckle then her eyes rolled back in to her head she fell forwards then passed out. Mia knelt beside Emily and called her name but she didn't respond. Kevin then wrote a symbol and water splashed on Emily's face. She started coughing and she sat up. She indigently pulled herself off the ground then walked over to Jayden. She opened her mouth to speak but decided against it and then proceeded to slap his left check. She then marched off back to the house and said to Kevin "Thanks". Emily went in to her and Mia's room. She pulled up her sleeve and took off her glove and she saw that the symbol had spread all the way up to her elbow. Emily heard the door opening and quickly pulled down her sleeve but didn't have time to put the glove on so she put her hand behind her back. "Hey Em" Mia said sitting on Emily's bed. Before Mia could say anything else the gap sensor went off. When they reach where the nighlock was then they morphed and then they were ambushed by moogeres. They fought them together, Emily and Jayden Mike Kevin and Mia. As they were fighting Emily felt bad about what happened earlier so she said to Jayden "Sorry" Jayden replied "It's ok I shouldn't have hit you like that, I keep forgetting that you are still really young". Emily was happy that he said sorry but she hated it that everyone thought that she was so young. Ok she was but still. Then Jayden got hit by the nighlock he demorphed and fell to his knees clutching his shoulders in agony. "Mia, Mike, Kevin" Emily yelled. They looked over at her and saw Jayden on the floor. They rushed over to her and Emily said "Cover Jayden"
"What are you going to Emily" Mia asked worry in her voice. Emily didn't reply and jumped and attacked the nighlock from behind. She started fighting him when all of a sudden her arm started burning. "Can you feel that yellow ranger"? the nighlock asked "yes" Emily said through gritted teeth. Then nighlock hit Emily and she fell on the floor. The nighlock then hit her again and she rolled off the edge of a cliff. Luckily the cliff wasn't very high. Emily demorphed and Jayden who was trying to get up and the others trying to get to her, but Emily couldn't let them get hurt anymore so she wrote the symbol for wall and blocked them from coming any further. She summoned her spin sword and she fought the nighlock and finished him off using her powers.
After the megazord battle on the way home Kevin was telling her that she was amazing and Mike was adding sound effects. When they got home Emily went to her room she took of her cardigan and saw that her top was burnt so she threw it away and changed. When she came back Jayden asked "Em why did you change your top"?
"Just cause" she replied. They all exchanged a look and they knew she was hiding something
