Finding and Changing Emily

Chapter 34: Daniel

I never thought that she would take it this way. She was angry at first but then get anger had turned to hurt, which turned up sadness. At the end of it all though, she became calm and loving, forgiving even, as she laid her head on my shoulder. I knew deep in my heart that there had to be a way to break this curse off me. There had to be a way for me to make love to my mate. I knew what I was going to have to do. I was going to have to fly to Africa, speak to the king there and hope that he would grant me a conversation with the witch. The only problem would be convincing them that I was a changed vampire. If the curse came off, then I should be able to make love to Emily. I looked over at her and she was just staring off into space. I gently touched her arm and she looked at me.
"Emily, I'm going to go to Africa. I need to talk to the witch. I need this curse off of me."
"Daniel," she said. "You can't. What if they don't let you speak but instead they kill you?"
I shook my head at her words.
"I'll let them know that I am coming. That way when I get there they won't see me as a enemy but as a friend."
she sat there thinking for a second.
"Let me come with you. They might be more understanding if they see the bond between us. Plus, I don't know if I like the idea of you being with Hope alone."
"Sweetheart, nothing happened between us. Don't you believe me?"
She sat up and touched my face.
"It's not you that I don't trust Daniel.
It's her. If I was in the same place I know that you would feel the same way would you not?"
"you don't need to be jealous Em. I never cared for her."
She looked up at me. "But that still doesn't answer my question." she replied.
"Yes, if the roles were reversed I would probably care."
She smiled, knowing that she was closer to being right.
"Great, so I'm coming with you." She ordered.
"Em-" I started.
"No Daniel and that's final." She said.
She stood up and began walking towards the house.
"Emily were are you going?" I hollered at her.
"To pack my bags, we are going to Africa!"
*************************************
James, Amanda, Emily and I got into our private jet. I invited James because he could help me if something bad where to happen. Amanda wouldn't allow James to go without her so she came. And lord knows that Emily wasn't bound to let me go.
Our jet was actually more of a small house than a way of transportation. We had a small kitchen and a sitting room. There was two bedrooms and a bathroom. I had no idea why we needed all of it because we didn't use half of it.
Emily was extremely nervous and kept moving around. She looked as if she was going to break the door down to get free.
"Emily if you don't calm down soon your going to end up doing something stupid." I told her.
"I can't calm down! We are going to meet some woman who wanted you so bad that she allowed you to be cursed and you want me to calm down?"
I sighed. I knew that this was going to happen. She was going to be jealous and it would bother her.
"Emily, I love you. You know that. You don't need to worry about anything. I'm not going to do anything with Hope."
Emily sat down next to me and I pulled
her close to me until she was laying in my arms on the couch. I ran my hands through her hair.
"I know that you won't do something. It's Hope I don't trust." She said.
Emily and I sighed and then she laughed a little. I laughed with her. Soon we were both laughing, stopping, only when we heard a loud banging sound.
"What-?" Emily started.
I put my finger to her lips, silencing her. Soon, I heard Amanda moan and new that Emily knew what was going on. Emily blushed and put her head into my neck. I patted her back and began to rock her back and forth. She clung to me and ran her hands under my shirt. Her hands tranced my abs and then she kissed my shoulder.
"Emily..." I said.
She blushed and placed her head on my heart.
"I'm sorry." She muttered.
I smiled and attempted to hold off my laughter. She was so embarrassed by how she was feeling. She wanted me and yet she knew what would happen if she tried.
"I'm sorry Emily. After we get this fixed, I'll take you somewhere nice and then we can try ok?"
She nodded and we stayed that way, me holding her and Emily tracing her hands no my skin.
