Forever

~12~

Hours pass before I finally pull up to the address. I look over at Jason who's sound asleep still. He only fell asleep a hour and a half ago.

"Jason, we're here." I say pulling the keys out of the car. He wakes up and groans stretching.

"How long was I out?"

"Like an hour and a half, you wouldn't sleep." I say and he sighs.

"Sorry." I shake my head climbing out of the car and he follows my lead. I grab my bag and he grabs his and I stop him.

"Will this friend actually let me in?"

"Yeah." He says and I nod then follow him to the front porch. He knocks on the door and it opens, a huge muscled African American looks at us.

"Isaac, this is-

"Skylar Anderson, nice to finally meet you in person." He says and I raise an eyebrow.

"How do you know who I am?"

"Because I used to be one of the men sent to capture you." I go to jump backwards and sprint but Jason holds me in place and calms me.

"He's not one of them anymore."

"No, I'm not. And I'm glad as hell I'm not." He says and I breathe in relief.

"What made you change your mind?"

"The same reason Jason here changed his mind. I fell for one of your kind."

"My kind?" I ask totally bleeping out the fell for part.

"Yeah, you didn't think you were the only one of your kind did you?"

"I hadn't ever met another one like myself."

"That's cause they're all hidden, and never coming out."

"How many?"

"20 maybe. It's rare as hell, but it's not a solo thing." He says and I nod

"I didn't fall for any of her kind, my family was murdered." Jason butts in and that's when I bring in the fell for part back.

"Whatever you say, please come in." Isaac says and we step inside shutting the door behind us.

I follow them in and am taken into a room with Jason.

"Here's yalls room. Yeah it's one bed, yall will be fine." He says and I nod putting my bag down.

"Get settled then come out here and we'll talk." Isaac says then leaves the room.

"I'll take the ground-

"Just take the damn bed with me, seems like moving houses is gonna be a new favorite so might as well get used to sharing." I say and he nods putting his bag down beside mine.

"We settled?" I ask and he nods

"Alright, let's go talk to this friend of yours."

****

"So here's the training room." Isaac says

"I'll go grab some water, you two feel free to warm up." Isaac says then walks off. I look over at Jason who still looks Outta it.

"You in it enough to fight me?" I ask

"When have I not been?"

"Alright then." I say then we we into stance and warm up with a few punches and kicks.

***

"Alright, here's the first move." Isaac says and him and Jason get in stance. I cross my arms and watch as the fight begins. They fight each other perfectly deflecting each other's blows, it looks so simple! Ten this look crosses Jason's face quickly and he swoops low and kicks up and Isaac stumbles backwards. Jason jumps up and spins landing a side kick to Isaac's shoulder.

"That was dirty man." Isaac says and Jason smirks.

"I never said I fought clean." Jason says and I can't help but to smirk at his comment.

He is a dirty fighter, and he's good as hell at it.

I preach in my mind as they continue on.

Another look comes over Jason's face as Isaac shoves him to the ground, then he throws the same move at Isaac as he did with me. His left foot flies up and slams into Isaac's head. Unlike me Isaac doesn't spin though due to his weight, he just falls to his knees and holds up his hand. Jason stands up and helps Isaac up and I smirk crossing my arms.

"Not bad." I say and Isaac looks over at me.

"Not bad?"

"If that last blow was to my neck, he wouldn't snapped my neck instantly and I would've been dead." Isaac says and I shrug.

"Fine miss priss, you come fight him."

"I have before, I wanna try to fight you." I say and Jason shakes his head.

"No, that's not a good idea."

"Oh please, why not?" I ask crossing my arms.

"Isaac is at my level, higher in some parts. He doesn't ever go easy, you won't have an easy fight."

"That's never stopped me before."

"Damn I like you and your spunk. Good choice Jason, one hella good choice!" Isaac exclaims and I smirk.

"You're still not fighting him until you have more skills under your belt."

"What are you, my dad?"

"No, I'm your protector."

"Whatever. Then I'll fight you." I say and he shrugs.

"Fine by me."

****

I let out a grunt as he yanks my arms behind my back but I shake my head. Not this time. I jump backwards hearing his body hit the ground below me. My arms are released and I kick him in the chest. That look come over his face and I know he's about to play dirty. Instantly i react and roll of of him then counteract his blow with my own, twisting, and yanking his arms behind his back.

"How the hell did you counteract that?"

"You're face gave your plan away." I whisper into his ear then shout as he throws me off of him and rolls so now I'm the one on the ground. I cough from the instant loss of air and he smirks in my face.

"Did it give away that one?" He asks and I huff.

"That's what I thought." He says then yanks me up. Clapping sounds and I look over his shoulder at Isaac.

"I must say, you can fight girl! You're a beast." He says and I smile as Jason backs away. His face changes and he nods at me.

"Good fight." He says then walks away leaving me here with Isaac.

"What the hell was that about?" I ask and Isaac shrugs.

"No clue." He responds and I watch Jason walk up the stairs through the plastic window.

"I'll be back." I say and he nods as I leave the room and run up the stairs behind Jason.
