"Emaline.."
"EMALINE!" I hear a voice shout.
My eyes open and I gasp as I sit up, I feel a sharp pain as I'm stopped on my ascent up.
"ARGH!" Desmond falls back onto the floor holding his head.
"Ouch!" I cry.
I look down at him and then to my side...
"You alive?" Mitchell raises his eyebrow at me.
My head does light again and I feel my eyes close, he catches me. "Woah! Not again!"
Shaking my head.. I look at him and blush..
"What's wrong Emaline?" Evelynn asks me.
I gulp... and shy away.
"Well it's... it's just.... I love Mitchell! I have his action figures and posters in my room and seeing him like this is just surreal and I'm really scared to ask him for an autograph and picture!" I say very quickly.
"Ha! Is that it?! Been a while since I met such a die hard fan..." Mitchell crosses his arms.
He leans down and smiles at me. "Well your my favourite fan!"
...
"Emaline?" Everyone asks.
My heart stops and I fall back asleep.

After I wake up I get a picture and autograph with him. Everyone splits up and I go find Desmond stood in the utility room with Avery.
Sneaking up I listen in to their conversation.
———————
"Avery... please." He says with a voice of panic.
"Desm-"
"No.. Avery I know if anyone can find him it's you.. he's done it before! They don't understand non of them do Avery but we do!" Peeking around the corner I see him holding her hand to his chest.
"Desmond... look at me! This isn't you, what are you doing?"
He scoffs and steps back..
"Out of all of them I thought you wouldn't give up, he did last time-"
"This isn't like last time! I can't find him Desmond I'm not trying.." she snaps.
'Who are they talking about?'
"Shit..."
"SHIT! You all gave up so easy! He isn't dead." He slams his hand on a workbench.
Avery stands unwavering, she steps towards him and holds his face. "Desmond, I've not given up. All I want is for him to walk through my door like he did last time.. but if he isn't dead-"
"He isn't! Don't say that word... don't associate it with him." He stops her, Avery continues holding his head.
"... Then why hasn't he come back? It took him a few months Desmond last time this is... this is different. Please for me." They put their forehead together.
'Are they? Cheating?'
"For Theodore." She whispers, Desmond hums in agreement.
"Cmon we've got a Chinese to order." She says to him.
Their coming!
I jump down the hall and as they walk out I pretend to walk down.
"Emaline?" Desmond smiles.
"Dad?" I smile back.
"What are you doing?" Avery asks.
"I.. I was looking for you, Mr Nazagi is ordering soon and needs your orders." I tell them.
