Keira

Chapter 3 Protect

                               Keira's POV
         It was the end of the day finally and I was ready to go and pick my brothers up then complain about school to my mom. The so called Gods haven't done anything to me yet, but I didn't really think they would. At least not today. I walked Jazzy to each of her classes listening to her as she complained about her classes. She really was quite talkative but it was nice since I was always silent.
         I heard a loud bang as if someone was slammed into the locker I turned around to see Jazzy. Duke and his twit of merry asses had her pinned against the lockers I cracked my neck ready for a fight. "You think just because some stupid bi-" before he could finish his sentence I punched him more gasps sounded as I stood in front of Jazzy. Duke looked at me slowly standing straight back up "you know something new girl you are starting to piss me off," he said I glared at him "funny cause you pissed me off hours ago. What afraid I will show you up so your brought your Merry Band of Asshats," I asked.
         The twin Orion snorted as his twin laughed the other two just glared at me along with Duke. "This is your final warning new girl if-" "yeah, yeah don't stay out your business blah, blah, blah," I said getting board as my face showed no emotion. But my tone told you how annoyed I was getting. "I don't hit girls," Duke said "but for you I'll make an acceptation," he then swung I dodged bringing Jazzy back with me. I pushed her to the side as I smirked now Duke glared at me and lunged.
         I avoided him then quickly kicked his side then spin kicked him in the shoulder. A lot of people looked impressed by the moves but I wasn't done. I have three weeks of anger pent up so let's just say he just so happened to be the one to get it. I grabbed Duke and flipping him over my back he landed hard but I didn't give him a second to breath. I jumped on his chest throwing punch after punch to his face. He somehow shoved me off but I was back up quickly and ready to fight as he slowly got up.
         I round house kicked Duke some people saying ooo at the impact as spit and blood flew out his mouth. I then flipped Duke on his back once again but held onto his arm and started twisting. "What's going on," I heard a teacher say in the distance I let go of Duke's arm despite wanting to break it. I grabbed a stunned Jazzy's wrist and took off running before I got in trouble. Once outside and by my car I was breathing fine but Jazzy sounded like she just ran a marathon.
"W-where did... did you learn... that," Jazzy asked me "from attending a bunch of different things to help protect myself," I told her. "Like what," she asked as she finally stood straight up her breathing somewhat normal "Boxing, Kick Boxing, Karate, Judo, and Taekwondo," I said naming each fighting technique I have learned. My dad didn't want me being helpless little girl so at the age of 2 he started me in Boxing, age 5 Karate, and age 8 Kick Boxing. The other two I picked up over the four years while I was gone over seas.
"Holy shit," Jazzy said impressed I nodded my head "I have to pick my brothers up from school. Do you need a ride," I asked her. "No I am going to hang in town trying to avoid my parents," she told me and I gave a questioning look "they are getting divorced," Jazzy told me. "Then you can hang out with me and my brothers. You'll like them plus I have to drop them off at some places," I informed her "does it involve in what you can do," she asked me, I nodded my head. "Oh I am so coming then," she said I smirked and unlocked my car letting Jazzy get in first.
I let her get in first when I saw these so called Gods throw open the doors looking around. "What is it," Jazzy asked as I leaned up against the car "don't worry," I told her, she nodded her head and closed the door. I watched them scan the parking lot until Preston looked my way. He slapped Duke's shoulder who looked to where he was looking they glared but I simply smirked. I pushed off my car and walked to the drivers side and opened the door but before getting in I flipped them off. I got into my car shutting the door and locking it. "What happened," Jazzy asked me, my smirk hasn't left my face one bit "I flipped them off," Jazzy busted out laughing as I brought my car to life.
         I pulled out of my parking spot then drove off to the middle school and elementary school I picked up all five of my brothers. "Alright guys this Jazzy, Jazzy that is Ryan, Quinton, Alexander, Matty, and Charlie," I told each of them "hi," Jazzy said the five chores a hi back to her. "They look crowded," Jazzy said with a worried face "they'll be fine," I said "yeah we do this all the time with Keira," Charlie told her. "Keira is just dropping us off at our lessons. Just like our dad did for her. She wants to make sure we can protect ourselves," Ryan added "did something happen to your dad," Jazzy asked me.
         I sighed "our dad was murdered four years ago in a bank robbery. He was a security man there," I told her "I am so sorry," she said to all of us. "It's ok. Keira helped put those men away for good," Alexander told her "helped," Jazzy questioned "yeah Keira tracked the culprits down cornered them in an alleyway after calling the Police," Quinton said "it was four on one," Matty added. "But Keira still held them in the alleyway until Police arrived," Ryan added "so you have been a bad ass since you were like twelve," Jazzy said making me chuckle.
         The rest of the ride involved Jazzy talking to my brothers about living in Italy, France, and England. "Were here," I said as we arrived to the first stop Quinton and Ryan got out heading straight in for Kick Boxing. I then dropped Charlie at Karate along with Alexander, he had mastered Boxing really quickly. Then finally I got to the Boxing club I helped Matty out as Jazzy waited for us. We entered the place and Jazzy looked about ready to fan girl about a Boxing gym.
"Keira," I hear an old familiar voice I look and smile softly at the old man before me. "Hey Jonny," I greeted him, he was the one who taught me to box along side his ambitious Son Tony. "Is that Little Matty," he asked me, I nodded my head "well I haven't seen you kid since you were up to my knee," Jonny said "well I am bigger and tougher now," Matty said. Jonny chuckled; he is a sweet old man that I look at like family. Jonny is taller than me and strong since this is his gym. He has dark chocolate skin with hair and mustache white from old age.
"Hey Jonny," I said and he looked to me "can I add someone on to my fee for here," I asked Jonny chuckled. "Who are you adding now. You and your brothers are all on there. Is your mom finally deciding to pick it up to," Jonny asked me, I shake my head "no I want to stick my friend Jazzy on there," I said. Jonny looked to Jazzy "Keira," said Jazzy shocked by my words "why," she asked me. "I am not always gonna be able to save you from those so called Gods," I told her "Gods? Are you going to Mulberry," Jonny asked me.
I nodded my head "Tony told me about those boys says they are real pieces of work. Some boy named Preston is the captain of their Boxing and Wrestling team," Jonny told me. "Even if they tried they have nothing against her," Jazzy said making Jonny chuckle "you got that right. I have never seen someone so naturally skilled in my life," he told Jazzy. "But you sure about this Keira," Jonny asked me, I nodded my head "alright well you two go get changed and ready," Matty walked off but Jazzy was about to say she didn't have clothes. I handed her some of mine since I always have two changes of clothes with me.
"Thanks Keira," Jazzy said "no problem. Now go," I told her, she nodded her head and hurried off. "I don't think I have ever seen you take such a quick liking to someone," Jonny told me, I smiled softly "me neither," I answered honestly. "Alright I'll get her added," Jonny told me, I nodded my head he walked off as I watched the ring.
Two men were fighting in the ring as one of the couches was telling them to watch each other. I recognized one of the men as Tony, I could pick him out cause his left hooks are still too weak. "Harder Tony," the couch yelled at him, Tony did as told he hit harder the next time. They continued on for a moment then it ended Tony won, which didn't surprise me one bit.
I walked to the ring "your left hook is still weak," I said Tony looked my way and smiled as he took the equipment off. "Hey Keira," he said hugging me "hey Tony," I said he pulled back from me as Jazzy came over. "Tony this is Jazzy. She is my only friend at my new school," I introduced the two and didn't miss how his eyes dilated slightly when he looked to her. "Hi Jazzy," Tony said shaking her hand "hi," she said with a slight blush.
"So I guess since I haven't seen you before you go to Mulberry," Tony stated "yeah," she said "we would prefer to attend your school," I said. "Why's that," Tony asked me "one word Gods," I said Tony rolled his eyes at the mention of them. "They pick on Jazzy which is why I am making her learn boxing," I told him "why," Tony asked looking to Jazzy with his eyebrows drawn together. "Cause I talk a lot," Jazzy said shyly "that's a fucked up reason," Tony said I nodded my head in agreement. "Alright Keira it's done," Jonny shouted to me "hey you coming this weekend," Jonny asked me, I smirked "of course," I said.
"Hey you should come," Tony said looking back to Jazzy "what is it," Jazzy asked "every Saturday night the Gym holds an all can fight night. You sign up and fight for some money," Tony explained. "How do you win money," Jazzy asked "it's like racing each person puts down twenty dollars. Then some bets are added on who will win," I informed her. "Sounds like fun," Jazzy said excitedly with a smile on her face "it is. Keira and I loved watching when we were younger," Tony told her. "Until Tony stupidly signed up behind his dad's back at the age of nine," I said "hey I wanted to prove I was as good as anyone," Tony defended.
"Moral of this story is I saved his ass," I said "you are always protecting people Keira," Tony pointed out to me. "My dad said it was the right thing to do," I defended myself as I shrugged my shoulders "he was a great man," Tony said. I smiled at the thought of my dad, he truly was. "Jazzy let's go," Jonny yelled at her "better go my dad hates waiting," Tony told her, she nodded her head then hurried to him. "I'll see you later Keira. I have to get to cleaning or else my dad cut me off," he told me, I chuckled "have fun with that," I said he rolled his eyes but walked away.
As Tony walked away I noticed him look to Jazzy obviously checking her out "Tony! Stop Checking Jazzy Out!" I yelled at him. I noticed Jazzy blush, Jonny laughed, and Tony turned around flipping me off. I just simply laughed they were so going to end up together.
