The Adventures of Teen Island

Prison Sentence

Emma's POV
I sat in the chair beside his bed at the hospital. I'm waiting for him to wake up. I still don't know what to say. He started to stir and I clasped my hands together. He took a deep breath and after a minute, he looked over. "What do you want?" He asked. I shrugged. "I don't understand you Emma. You came here yourself and then nearly got me killed when I tried to take you home. You know mom and dad are worried sick right?" He asked. "I came here myself. What makes you think I'd want to leave? Also, I didn't nearly get you killed. You did. Its illegal to take a kid off the island without consent" I said. "You know what else is illegal? Kidnapping" he spat. "Not for teen island. For other people yeah, but teen island is owned by America. Its not illegal for us" I said. "What 'us?' You don't belong here" he said. "Really? Because for the first time ever, I feel at home" I said. "We'll see about that when I tell dad you're here. He'll do whatever he has too to get you back" he said. "What makes you think you're leaving?" I asked. "Excuse me?" He asked. "You committed a crime. You hurt my friends. You're going to the dungeon, and you're not leaving until you're nineteen" I said. "You cant do that" he said. "I'm not. The royal guard is" I said. "And you're gonna let it happen? You're gonna let mom and dad lose both of their kids?" He asked. "You don't deserve to be called their son" I snarled. He was shocked. "What happened to you?" He asked. "I grew up. Maybe you should try it sometime. As for mom and dad, you sneak out so much that I'm sure they'll think you found a new hoe and ran off to marry her." I said. "Fuck you" he spat. "No. You can go fuck yourself instead. Its probably the only thing that will bring you any joy in your cell" I said. He shook his head. "Leave Emma" he said. I stood up. "Just so you know, I hope that when you get released, you go and live a happy life that's far away from me" I said. "Oh, the further away from you, the better" he said. "I wasnt finished. After you're happily married and have a couple kids, I hope your wife cheats on you. I hope those kids aren't yours. And I hope you get hit by a bus on your way to settle your divorce" I said. "Wow. That's low" he said. "You wanna talk about low? Who here is in a hospital bed?" I asked. He rolled his eyes. "See ya jack ass" I said.

"Hey! You're back. Did you talk to him?" Carter asked. "Yep" I said, walking past her. She raised an eyebrow and followed me. "Sounds like you didn't" she said. "Oh I definitely talked to him" I chuckled. "You talked shit didn't you" she said. "All you said was talk. You didn't say how" I said. "Emma. I gave you advice to help you" she said. "I don't need help!" I snapped, turning to her. She crossed her arms not believing me. "I don't. You said to lift the burden off my shoulders. Well the burden was lifted the second Noah came in with that bat. Darrel is finally gone. He's not my problem anymore. This is all I've ever wanted. The burden is long gone. Why cant you see that?" I asked. "Fine, but when you regret this just remember I told you so" she said. "Whatever. When's the cyclops come back?" I asked. "Soon. His eye is still pretty bad" she said. "Did you really make Noah a bandit?" I asked. She threw her head back laughing. "Yeah. You gotta see this" she said.

We walked out to our training grounds. "I told them to give him the basics" She said. Noah's running around trying to avoid everyone who is currently attacking him. Clay is in his dog form chasing him and snapping his jaw at him. Oliver is trying to grab his feet with vines and Stephanie has a storm cloud flying over his head. He's soaking wet from the rain, but he's doing pretty good otherwise. "I tried to get them to stop" Siren said. "I didn't! Get him babe!" Courtney yelled. We laughed. "Ok Courtney. That's enough. Get your girl to chill" Carter said. Courtney ran over to her and whispered something in her ear. "She's not gonna listen to you" Siren said. "I know" Carter smirked. The storm cloud went away and a strong cold breeze came through. I tumbled back and Carter grabbed me before I fell. Noah fell over and Oliver wasted no time strapping him to the ground so Clay could chomp his leg. "Clay!" Siren yelled. He was blasted back by Sirens voice before he got to Noah. "Let him go!" Carter yelled. I walked to him and helped him up. "Are you ok?" I asked. "Yeah" Noah panted for breath. "You guys are crazy" I said, looking at Clay and Oliver. They shrugged. "Its fun. Plus he said he could take a challenge" Oliver said. "Yeah. A challenge. One. Not three at once!" Noah exclaimed. Clay and Oliver high fived.

"So I heard you and Carter made it official" Siren said. "Yeah" I said. "So what does that mean for you now?" She asked. "I don't know. I really hope things are calm for a little while. I don't think I can handle anything else this year" I said. "Well the year ends pretty soon so I think you'll be ok." She said. I smiled. "I wonder what a teen island Christmas looks like" she said, looking at me. "Yeah. I heard they decorate the whole island" I said. "Where'd you hear that?" She asked. "Are you serious? We live with Courtney" I said. We laughed. "You know you have quite the reputation to uphold" I told her. "What do you mean?" She asked. "You're a songbird. The last one apparently was the joy of the season" I said. "Oh no. I have to learn cheesy Christmas songs, don't I?" She asked. "Better start decking those halls. Christmas is right around the corner" I said. She rolled her eyes. "I'm really proud of you ya know" she said. I raised an eyebrow in confusion. "You went through a lot in the past few days. I'm glad you're still holding on" she said. I smiled. "Thanks Siren" I said.
