(Media shows "Charlie")

Emer's POV

I stood there shocked.
Who were these people?

There was a girl and a boy, the girl being slightly taller.

The boy was slightly pale and had hair as dark as night. He looked about 15 or 16.

The girl was also dark-haired and had blue eyes that could freeze fire. Although they shared many features, they didn't look like siblings.

We stood there, not daring to move. All of the sudden, the girl jumped forward and pinned me down.

"Who are you?" she snarled.

"Emer! Short for Emeryld! Who are you?" I quickly replied.

"Who's that?" She pointed at Jayde, but her one hand was still strong enough to hold me down.

"Hey! It's your turn to answer my question!" I told her.

She pushed me farther into the dirt.

"Um, thats Jayde. She's my sister."

She let me stand up and I lunged at her. She quickly moved out of the way, and I stumbled over a tree root.

"My turn. Who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Charlie. He's William. Why are you here?" she questioned.

I told her our story, and how we were looking for mom. Then unexpectedly, she asked,

" Can we come with you?"

I looked at Jayde and she shrugged. I should probably let them come. I mean, I don't want to be tackled again. Plus, Charlie's a good fighter. She'll be useful. And who knows what talents William's hiding under that pale skin.

"Sure. As long as you promise one thing," I said.
"No tackling."

We walked back to the edge of the forest and climbed under the fence. Meanwhile, Charlie and Will were staring at us, awestruck.

"What?" We asked.

"You didn't die."she continued staring.

"Anyone who gets at least a foot away from the fence, dies."
