Four or Dead

Wyatt

Emma is here. She is with me finally. All those years watching over her and now I don't have to hide in the shadows anymore. I was so worried that if I told her that I had been watching her since freshman year that she would think I was a freak. The thing is, I wasn't completely honest with her on one thing because I didn't want to hurt her any more than she has been recent

The thing is, I did go after Asher and the others several times for hurting Emma. Back then I wasn't strong enough to take them on, and I caught on pretty quick that even though they bullied her they were also obsessed with her. It was like they say when you're kids...' the boys are pulling your hair because they like you.' I had told them several times to leave Emma alone, but they would beat me up and send me on my way with a warning. .7)

"Don't even think about talking to her or going near her." That's what they would growl in my face while I was curled up on the ground..')

But how could I tell Emma that? She loves them and besides...what good would it do now? Things are already going to hell. There's no point in rehashing past history. I'm sure those guys wouldn't even recognize me if we ever did meet again. All I care about is that Emma is safe. I have laid an army at her feet and what she does with it is entirely up to her. Zane didn't die when I shot him but he was wounded enough,

but he could try and come for Emma at any time if he gets a chance

I quickly finish showering and pull on a black t-shirt and sweats. When I walk back into the room I see Emma curled up on the bed right on top of the blanket. She must have passed out the second her head hit the pillow. I can only imagine the number of sleepless nights she's had since Zane took her. She was probably too scared that he would come for her while she slept, the bastard

I walk over to the bed and carefully pull the blanket over her. When I start to pull away she grabs my hand

"Don't go." She mumbles

I freeze. I'm not sure what to do. She's asking me to stay and of course, I want to if she really wants me to but I also want to give her some space

I try to pull my hand away in case she's fallen back to sleep, but her hold only tightens. She rolls over and opens her eyes to look up at me

"I don't want to be alone." She says softly and I hear the pain in her

voice."

That sound breaks my resolve and I give her a small nod. She shifts a little to give me some room, and I slide under the covers careful not to get too close to her. I took things a little too fast back at Zane's house, but my head was swarming with a ton of emotions and I was just so happy to see her. Now I'm kicking myself for taking advantage of her. So I am going to be on my best behavior and give her as much space as she needs. (3)

She moves so that she is completely on her side facing me

"I'm sorry. I hope this isn't too weird, I just...I was left alone so much and when I wasn't there was...pain." She says softly

I roll onto my side as well. "If you need me to stay then I will. Whatever you need Emma...I'll give it to you. I'm not making the same mistake as before. I'm with you however you want or need me."

She gives me a small smile and reaches for my hand and holds on tight to it before letting her eyes fall shut again. Soon her breaths grow soft and steady telling me she's asleep again

The silence in the room helps me relax and everything that happened tonight flashes through my head. When we took off I caught a glance at Logan coming up on the roof, but Zane and his other men were there too. He had turned his focus away from Emma and he and the others focused on Zane

I wonder if they've killed him yet or not. I hope not because Emma deserved revenge, and that meant facing the man who hurt her and exacting her own judgment. Devaro won't give him over easily so we'll have to come up with a plan. Emma may know a way to get into where they're holding him and the guys could storm the place and grab ZaneConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

That is if she knows much about Devaro's crew at all. I'

My eyes get heavy as I run over several scenarios until I fall asleep

The sound of a door slamming closed outside wakes me the next

morning and it takes me a moment to push away the haze. When I go to sit up something is hold me down. I glance down to see Emma cuddled against me, her head on my chest and her arm and leg wrapped around me. I can't help the smile growing on my face at the sight of her. She looks beautiful and adorable at the same time. How is that possible?

Her weight is putting pressure on some of my injuries but right now I could care less. I try to shift my arm a little so I can wrap it around her and I hiss in pain. She opens her eyes then and she looks at me for a second before shock takes over. She sits up quickly and runs her gaze over me like she's checking for what could have caused me to make that sound. \*

"I'm so sorry. Did I hurt you?" She asks

I laugh and shake my head. "No, I'm just a little sore."

"Do you need me to change your bandage?" She asks climbing off the bed and walking around to check my other arm

I glance down at it too and see that a bandage change would be a good idea

"Hang on." She says walking over to the chair I had been sitting in yesterday and grabbing the first kit still sitting on the floor.")

She carefully removes the bandage and examined my arm carefully

"Looks like the bleeding has slowed down."

She makes quick work of wrapping a new bandage around my arm and leaves to wash her hands. When she returns she sits at the foot of the bed and looks at me

"What's wrong?" I ask her

She sighs. "I don't know what to do now. I don't think I was getting away from Zane alive and now here I am. I just don't know." I?)

Her mind must be a mess right now. "Did you want to...call Asher and the guys to let them know you're okay?" \°)

Those words taste like ash on my tongue but I know what they mean to her, and I just want her to be happy

"Oh. Yeah, I should huh? Do you have a phone I can use?" She asks. I

"T'll have one of the guys bring one up for you. They're untraceable so no one can trace calls back to here, but should work fine." I say pushing myself up from the bed and digging through the pockets of my jeans from yesterday that sits on one of the tables

I quickly dial one of the guys. "Yeah?" A gruff voice answers

"Can you bring up a new phone for Emma? She needs to make a call

Make sure it's all set up." I say

"You got it." He replies and quickly ends the call

I turn to Emma and notice her eyes are looking off like she's deep in

thought

"Is there something else you need to get off your chest?" I ask taking a seat on the bed next to her

"IT want to kill Zane." She says without any hint of hesitation. .')

I smirk. I knew she would, and I am more than happy to help her spill as much blood as she needs. I have a feeling even after Zane is dead...this will only be the beginning. A storm is coming, and Emma will be leading it."
