Chapter 16: Emilia

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hi I know this is supposed to be Eric but remember I cut him out of the story for a little while, and I am starting to think about what to do for his chapter so I think that I am going to put him in soon.

PS I love the squiggles

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I didn't know what to think, why wouldn't Markus and Max just tell me what happened to Eric. Like seriously keeping this from me is not taking care of me, it's actually mean. Who does that?

"We are so sorry," Markus said pocking his head from the door way.

"Shut up, I don't wanna talk to you, OR MAX," I screamed because I knew that Max was listening to our conversation.

"FINE," Max just screamed back.

"Ugh, I am just so mad at you guys, like I am here with Eric and you come and try to tell me that you are sorry, who do you think you are?' I asked with a tone in my voice that sounded like get away from me or die, which is actually what I wanted to say.

"Ok miss drama queen, I am your big brother, and what gives you the right to think that you can talk to me like that?!" Markus yelled.

"I am not a drama queen!" I yelled

"YES YOU ARE," Max yelled from the other room.

"Shut up you're not in this," Ok maybe I am a drama queen, but what gives them a right to talk to me like that?

"Emilia, I am so sorry but you're gonna have to stop yelling at me and focus on me for one minute." He said staring at something behind me.

"What, what is it?" I asked trying to turn my head, but he grabbed my face and didn't allow me to look me at it.

"Hey I told you to not look." Markus said still staring at the thing behind me.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I don't know there name, but if you look or think about it, it will come after me." He said looking into my eyes now.

"What about you, you were looking at it," I said confused.

"Ya but I wasn't thinking about it, and it feeds more off of your thoughts then your sight." He said explaining.

"Oh, I am scared." I said, the creature behind me wasn't scaring me, it was the unknowing.

"Hey, listen to me," He said staring into my eyes, "I thought you how to ride a bike, remember when you fell off the first time and you told me that you were afraid,"

"Ya how can I forget," I said staring back into his eyes.

"Did I let you fall the second time around?" He asked me.

"No," I said staring at the floor.

"Exactly, and I won't let you fall this time, but it is coming after you, it is feeding off your thought, do you feel it?" He asked.

"Feel what," I had no clue what he was talking about.

"Feel that little pain in your thoughts, but it's so silent, but you can hear the scream, and you can feel the tiny little pain." Now that he mentioned it I did feel that pain and I did hear a little scream.

"What is it?" I asked.

"I told you that I don't know what the creature is called." He said looking sad, but I actually forgive him for the whole Eric thing.

"No, I mean what will it do?" I asked worrying way more than I have in my entire life.

"Nothing, well, it will only turn your brain into gravel." He said looking into my eyes, "but it's not that big of a deal."

"Ya sure no big deal," I said so scared that I felt as if I was going to go get a shot, which might not be that big to you people but for me it was, I hated shots (I mean the one from the doctor office).

"Um... Emilia don't freak out but, it's waking up." He said staring at it.

"What, how am I supposed to stop it?" I screamed.

"DON'T THINK ABOUT IT," Max called from the other room.

"THANKS WEIRDO, that doesn't help." The first part I called to Max and the last part I muttered to Markus.

"What is 300x200," He asked trying to distract, but I am surprised he picked math, he hates math.

"6000," I called, but it still thought thinking about it.

"This isn't working, it's still coming after you!" Markus said.

I didn't know what to think, I was going to die here. Wait no I wasn't going to die I was going to have my brain turned into gravel, doesn't that sound lovely. Singing won't help me, actually it probably would only make things worse.

"Eric," Markus muttered.

"What?" I asked whipping around to see Eric but I couldn't see him.

There was a creature bending over Eric. Its face was so awful that not even his mother could probably not love it. No seriously it was green with warts, his eyes were like glued shut, I don't even think this was a creature though. I could feel its pain and suffering inside, I heard the screams of it and I could see its scares. Not real scares emotional.

"I can help you." I said reaching my hand out.

"Emilia don't," Markus said.

"I have to, don't you hear it." I said still reaching out my hand.

"Emilia, you see something in emotional pain, right." He said behind me, his voice was shaky and it sounded as if he was worried.

"Yes, can't you hear it screaming?" I said.

"What does it look like?" Why was he asking all these questions, can't he see it, can't he hear it.

"It looks like pain, and suffering." I said still staring at it.

"Emilia come back, walk away from it." Markus said grabbing my arm and tugging on it.

"What does it look like in reality?" I already knew that this was an allusion caused by the creature and I know that I was going to die very soon.

"It's a blur," Markus said tugging on my arm harder.

"Thanks," I said giving up and walking toward it.

Suddenly Max came in with a sword I got him for his birth day, before I knew what he was doing he Killed the creature by cutting its head of. I knelt down beside it and I finally saw the real shape it was in. Markus was right it was a blur, I think that it was protection so that no one could see its real form. It died slowly in my arms, which was kind of weird since it just tried to kill me.

"I am the last of my kind," The blur had a deep dark voice, "I wasn't trying to kill you, I was trying to kill myself, but before I go, I am sorry."

"I forgive you," I said, and soon after I did he died. The body just disintegrated in my arms and turned into dust.
