Emma sniffed again, letting her hand run across her nose, as she stood up to her full height, her hands on her waist, staring amusingly at Casper who was staring at her suspiciously."Are you sure about that?" She asked, piquing her right eyebrow at a Casper who shrugged, not sure of what he was thinking about this new outlook of Emma."Let's go then." She muttered, gearing up, feeling the energy swirling deep within her. A smile slithered across her lips as she felt her hands spark like electricity. She could literally feel herself floating, even though she was studded on the ground.With a crooked smile on her lips, she beckoned on a confused Casper to come close and fight, or perhaps do some of his power manifestations.Casper smirked, then came closer to Emma. If only he had foreseen what would happen in a twinkle of an eye, he would have conceded defeat, or stuck to the fist fighting without powers.He threw a punch first, shrouded with fire, but Emma dogged it sharply.Quickly,
"Emma, you have to let him go, so that we can bury him." Aiden said, squatting at that precise moment of his speech close to Emma who had refused to let Casper go. She clung unto his dead body, not still believing that she had killed someone, and worse, her brother. Yes, he had been her brother, and he had still loved her despite his act of betrayal. She understood now that his painful kicks against her ribcage had been a desperate act for survival, having known even then, that she wasn't the Emma he had known and loved. She still blamed herself, and Derek for the death of Casper.Derek will pay. She thought, repeating the statement over and over in her head like a mantra, such that she paid no heed to what Aiden was saying. Putting Casper into the ground would make his death so real. She wasn't sure she was ready for that. She wasn't sure she was ready to be termed a murderer."You are not a murderer." She heard Prescott say in her mind, and furrowed her eyebrows, wondering how her m
In the morning, Emma woke up with a burning fever. Holding her head which was pounding, and drawing herself to sit up straight on her bed, she noticed, with a sideways glance, that Freya was on her bed, asleep. She sighed as she watched Freya sleep like she was dead to the world. The latter looked so calm and innocent, so like her, only that she was just as dead, since her heart wasn't beating. But Emma knew better. She knew that vampires, for what they were, always shut down their heart whenever they wanted to sleep. She didn't know the reason though. She was actually surprised when she saw Freya on her bed. She had been expecting her to lie underground.Gently, so that she wouldn't cause Freya to stir from her sleep, she slipped out of the sheets to the floor. She needed to refreshen. She felt like someone who was bashed by an incoming train.She stepped around the bed, to get to the wardrobe, believing that some of her clothes should still be in there; for when Melvina had asked he
Who was that again?" Emma thought, sitting apprehensively in her seat, not knowing if she should check it out or sit it out. She wasn't in the mood to banter or fight with anyone. She just needed peace and quiet. She believed she deserved that at least, seeing that the well laid plans she had had for her life in and out of college had been disrupted and changed by a simple prophecy and someone undeserving of her love.The knock came again and again, and she stood up after taking in a deep breath, walking from her present location to the sitting room, her hands in the front pockets of her sweat pants.At the door, she hesitated a bit, breathing in deeply before touching the knob and turning it.A smile slithered across her lips the next second when she saw who was behind the door.Standing, looking a bit nervous and shaken were Maya, Ava, and Eva.Her smile especially widened when she saw the little girl looking up at her with wide eyes, eyes rimmed with unshed tears.She didn't want t
Emma has devoured three pancakes with syrup already, whilst watching and listening to the three girls talk and ramble about school and college. Eva was taking the lead in her class.But why won't she? Emma thought. She was an Alpha's daughter. Her cognitive abilities should be higher than the rest in her class.She wanted to ask her about the young boy that usually walked with her, but decided it was better to ask in secret, not wanting to embarrass the little girl who had confided in her.All through their talks, they never mentioned Derek and the family. Just other things.They didn't want to set her mood off.And she was appreciative of their thoughtfulness.Currently, they were talking about the possibility of Freya and Yodah joining the Lakers university, and about Leo going back to Curtis' pack."Emma, do you think the duo would attend our college?" Ava asked, her fingers confined in the middle of her laps. Emma had a feeling that the question was a sequel to an unknown main que
The glances of the four people in the sitting room shifted to the direction of the passageway when Freya stepped into the room. The surprised look on her face told the story that she hadn't been expecting visitors this morning.Eva was the first person to speak."Hey...who are you? Why do you like Emma? Are you twins?" The little girl asked, her voice tainted with confusion and underlying excitement. She hadn't seen Freya at the party. She hadn't actually been at the party. Melvina had tucked her into bed early so that she wouldn't be in danger in case the supposed war broke out.Freya smiled at the beautiful girl, already knowing that the latter was Derek's little sister. They had an uncanny resemblance. Seeing her here, she was sure that the girl had a good relationship with Emma, which Derek's betrayal hadn't even broken."My name is Freya. And yes, I am Emma's sister." Freya replied, winking at Emma who shrugged, not interested in arguing over the fact. To an outsider, it would be
The smiles on the faces of the girls widened when Yodah stepped into the room with Aiden and Julius. Yodah had of course let them know about the presence of the morning visitors, so they hadn't be surprised seeing them lounging and smiling on the sofa, and for one, Julius had already known of Ava's presence, even whilst beneath the ground. "Good morning girls..." The trio greeted, and the girls replied their greetings. Eva's confusion increased the more. She was wondering who were these guys now. She hoped that one of them had no thing already for Emma. The likelihood had her thinning her eyebrows and folding her arms across her chest, her face devoid of a smile. No guy was having Emma apart from her brother. No, not on her watch."Hello, little one.." Yodah greeted, squatting to the height of Eva when he noticed the slight scowl on her face. She hadn't spoken to him either, or responded to their greetings, rather she was glaring at them. He thought that it was because they were stra
Back at the Blue Moon's Pack, the same time:Shane, Curtis and Clem are with Anthony in his room, lounging on his bed, since Derek had refused to see any of them since Emma had left.Rewind to last night at the hall, when Emma had left the hall:When Emma had left the party with the vampires right behind her, Derek had turned around immediately, and had left the party hall, amidst the murmurings that had arisen from the event that had just occurred, and for once, even if it was for one tiny witty second, he didn't look at Claire who had still been sprawled on the ground, with Curtis trying to nurture her into consciousness. That action of him leaving without taking at least a look at his presumed mate, had of course passed the message to most of the party poopers that there was a high likelihood that the duo weren't mates.Alpha Peter had dismissed everyone to their homes, but not before promising the members of his pack an explanation the next day, which was today, about the happenin
