Ch.6 calum. Learning to fight

I woke up and smelled food so I went to the kitchen. Maya was cooking. She cooks every day for us.

"Good morning Calum." She says back still turned. What the fuck she didn't even see me

"You didn't even see me. " I said

"Don't have to. I just know." She said

"What are you cooking?" I asked.

"French toast and sausage. Is there alright?" She asked.

"Yeah it's fine. You don't have to cook for us every day you know. You're our bodyguard not our maid." I said

"I know but it's honestly the least I could do. You were forced out of your house, a crazy dude is trying to kill you, you have to get up earlyish and you have to live with me and bubbles. It's only fair" maya explained.

"Actually you give us a safe place to stay, protect us and put up with our asses. We came into your house. You put yourself in danger every day for us. You don't need to add cooking for us and cleaning up after us to your list. You're busy enough already. And you take care of a dog. You don't need to be our mother." I said petting bubbles. Not that I don't appreciate what she does it's just that she does so much already and we're just nuisances.

"Okay I'll tell you what. If you're so persistent on this I'll assign house work for all of us. We each take turns. That better?" She asked.

"Perfect." She said.

"Good. Your turn to wake the boys." She said. I nodded and ran upstairs. I ran to each ones room and pulled the blanket off of them. I ran down stairs and waited.

"Who took my blanket?" Michael asked walking down stairs.

"Me" I said "go to the kitchen. Maya has breakfast."

I explained this to Luke shortly after. No Ashton? Let's try this. I ran to his room and stole every pillow and jerked one out from under his head. I ran back down stairs.

"What the heck!? I was sleeping!" Ashton grouched coming down the stairs. I explained to him that breakfast was in the kitchen.

"Okay guys, seeing the situation that we're in it is protocol to teach you guys a bit of self defense. I promise no one will get hurt if you just listen to me. So go get some workout clothes on or something and be back downstairs. I'll show you to the training room. Clear?" She said.

"Crystal" we all said at the same time.

Everyone went upstairs and we went to our respective rooms. I threw on a plain grey tee shirt and black sweat pants. I walked downstairs. Maya came downstairs next. She was in a plain black tee shirt and black Capri leggings. Her brown hair was in a ponytail. Her blue eyes really popped along with her paleness. After everyone came downstairs we walked down the hall and into a room where she had matts and weights and equipment.

"Okay guys today I'm teaching you how to counteract and block attacks. Please listen to me. I'm doing it easy and not very accurately at first. If you don't do it right the first few times it's okay. I won't get hurt and you won't ether. You have to trust me okay?" She said and we nodded in response.

"Okay. Oldest to youngest. Irwin you're up."she said and Ashton stepped in front of her. "I'm going to attempt to punch you and you're going to stop me. But first you are going to put your hands into a fighting position."she explained while Ashton did as he was told. He did and she hit his hands. His hands moved when she hit them.

"No. Keep them tough. Don't let me move them." She commanded then she hit them again. They didn't move. "Good. Now I'm going to throw three punches."

"One two three. Your job is to catch my hand." She said. She put her hands where she would punch on the numbers. "Okay Irwin. Ready?" She asked. He nodded.

"One. Two. Three." She said and punched at him as he caught every one. "Very good. Just put some strength behind it. If I was punching as hard as I could I was end up hitting you with your hand every time." Ashton nodded.

"Clifford. You're up." She said. She did everything the exact same to everyone. Everyone needs to put strength behind our hands. Luke complained the whole time.

"Okay now we are going to block kicks and fight back a bit. Irwin come here please." Maya explained. They stepped back on a mat but then

"MAYA. IM HERE!!" We heard a man shout.

"ABOUT TIME MITCH. COME TO THE TRAINING ROOM." Maya yelled back. Mitchell came in and waved at us.

"Okay Irwin you can go back. Mitch will help me demonstrate. We're blocking kicks. Ready Mitchie?" Maya said. Mitchell stepped up to her. Maya kicked at his side as she said one and he blocked. She said two and kicked at his other side and he blocked again. Sh said three and she kicked at his stomach. He grabbed her foot and pushed her over. She fell to the mat.

"Good job Mitch." She praised as he reached down. She grabbed his hand and he helped her stand up.

"Now your turn Irwin." She did the same to all of us. We all did pretty good except Luke.

"Hemmings." She said and he stepped up. She said numbers and everything but when it came to three Luke moved making her almost fall onto the floor.

"Hey why'd you move? You're not gonna get hurt." Maya asked.

"I'm not knocking you over." Luke said

"Why? You saw everyone else. I'm not getting hurt nor are they." She asked.

"I can't knock you down. I'm not." Luke huffed.

"Hemmings. I'm going to give you one more shot. Do it correctly or I'll make you." She commanded. She went with it again and he still moved.

"I don't know what your problem is but I'd really like to know. Stop fussing. This is for your protection." Maya grumbled at him getting visibly agitated.

"I told you." Luke sassed.

"Uh oh." Mitchell whispered with wide eyes.

"And I told you. Now I'm doing it for real. Block correctly or get us both hurt. I can take it. Not sure about you." She said. She pulled him to the corner of the mat next to the wall. He can't move. "Mitchell guard his open side. Don't let him move." Maya barked.

"But maya he'll get hurt if you hit him" Mitchell pleaded.

"Oh well. He'll do as he's told next time." Maya said. Mitchell did as he was told and maya started. Luke blocked correctly this time In fear of hurting them both. "Now was that so hard?"

"Mitch." She barked. He stepped up to her. "Now to stop and detain an attacker." Maya nodded and Mitch got into stance. He caught a punch at his face and he spun maya around and put a hand on her shoulder then he put her  behind her back, hand between her shoulder blades. Then pushed her to her knees. He released and maya stood up. Everyone repeated. We all needed to be tougher because we were going easy on her. Luke fussed.

"Hemmings." Maya barked coldly.

"No" Luke said sternly.

" that boy is going to get himself hurt" Mitchell said quietly. Maya walked over and grabbed Luke by the shirt. You could tell she was DONE with his bullshit.

"Do it or get worse than punched. Mitchell help him" maya barked. She was basically fuming. Luke caught the punch then Mitchell made him detain her.

"Good. Now don't mother fucking do that again. Hit the showers. I need to blow off steam. Mitch come here please." Maya said beyond pissed. We all took showers and maya cooked dinner. She didn't eat. We all went to bed.
