Scarlett
I swung my fist toward my opponent’s face, but he ducked out of the
way at the last moment. Sweat beaded my forehead. I raised my tightened
fist, ready to deflect a blow as I stepped backward.
I didn’t watch his fists. I was taught to watch my opponent’s eyes to be
able to anticipate their next move.
“Too slow, Scarlett,” my opponent teased with a challenge. I would
make him eat that comment soon.
For a few moments I watched him carefully, studying his eyes, which
flickered to his right, betraying his next move. This time I had more than
enough time to move out of the way and attack with a well-placed kick to
his side. My kick wasn’t hard enough to incapacitate him, but I heard a
grunt of pain.
“Did that hurt?” I teased as I bounced lightly on my feet a safe
distance away from him.
Instead of some cocky reply, he glared at me and I grinned.
His eyes narrowed as he planned his next line of attack and I watched
him carefully as I anticipated his next move. Like before, his eyes flickered
to the left and I ducked out of the way as his fist swung for my face. I
stepped closer and landed a punch to his abdomen. The grimace on his face
told me it had hurt.
“Now who is the slow one?” I teased.
If you compared my five-foot-seven lean frame to my opponent’s sixfoot muscular build, you would think I’d be at a disadvantage, but I wasn’t.
At the age of sixteen, I’d started to develop heightened senses and, along
with that, my physical strength had also increased.
The changes had been subtle at first and as time passed they’d become
stronger and stronger.
I got in a few more hits before my opponent threw up his hands in
defeat.
“I’m done,” said Gary as he bent down and reached for a towel next to
the gym mat. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with it.
“You’re showing your age,” I teased as I reached for a bottle of water
beside the gym mat we were sparring on and took a couple of gulps from it.
He glared at me because of the reference to his age. He was no spring
chicken, but at the age of thirty-seven, he didn’t consider himself old. To
my seventeen years, he wasn’t exactly young.
He’d been my father’s best friend and I’d known him my whole life.
After my parents died when I was ten, Gary had become my legal guardian.
To me, he’d been the unofficial uncle who had become my only family. He
loved me like a daughter and I loved him like a father.
At the age of sixteen, I’d made the decision to get emancipated. Gary
had understood my need for independence and my wish to control my own
affairs. When I’d sat him down and explained to him what I wanted to do,
he hadn’t been surprised. In fact, he’d supported the idea.
Although I was now considered an adult and able to make my own
decisions, Gary had remained an important part of my life. He was family
—the only family I had.
