The Sister

Chapter Seven - Revelations

Emma slowly walked towards the elephant fountain in the park. There was nobody else around. She didn't know where anyone else was, just that they were close by. She knew they could hear her. She couldn't hear them. As she walked over to the place, standing there as the place started falling darker around her, she wondered how this was going to go. Her heart hammering in her ears, as she realised how dangerous this could be for her.

For Bucky.

"This is crazy. What was I thinking?" She muttered to herself, as she got up from the edge of it, beginning to walk around.

Darkness had falling, Emma looked at her watch, finding it was almost midnight now. She had been sat there for almost three hours now, looking around the place, finding nobody was there.

"He's not coming. I got this wrong"

"You know, talking to yourself is a sign of crazy, right?"

Emma gasped, quickly turning around, finding she was no longer alone.

Jackson was standing there in front of her, wearing a winter hate and a duffle coat.

"My God Emma, you're even more beautiful than I remember" He breathed.

She couldn't say anything, standing there looking up at him.

Tears gathered in her eyes as she looked at him.

"I was told, you were dead" Jackson then said, stepping over to her, wrapping his arms around her.

At the second he touched her, she came out of her daze.

"Yeah. Same" She breathed, finding her body stiffening in his arms.

Emma stepped back from him, looking up once more, remembering that she had to get him talking.

"I've missed you" He smiled, placing his hand softly on her cheek.

She looked at him, realising that he was more muscular, possibly taller.

"What are you doing here?" She quickly asked.

"I came for you petal"

His nickname for her.

"Came for me?" She muttered, suddenly feeling nervous.

"Yeah" He chuckled. "I came here, to find out when your funeral was, when I saw your brother, not even the slightest upset about it, I knew you weren't dead. Walker had it wrong"

"Walker told you I was dead?"

"Petal, it doesn't matter what he told me, you're here. The moment I saw you, I couldn't believe it"

The sound of a branch snapping caused him to quickly look around.

"Come on, we can't stay here" He reached for her hand, and began taking her towards the exit.

"Wait, where are we going?"

"I've got somewhere near by that I've been staying, waiting for the funeral, or something"

"Jackson, I can't. I...."

But he didn't listen.

"You have to explain this to me, you need to tell me everything Jackson"

"I will petal. But not here" He said, as they got out onto the street.

"Jackson, I can't stay out for long, my brother will know I'm out, and come looking"

"Baby, it's going to be fine. We will talk, and then we will leave, okay"

This worried her, as she realised he was actually here for her, and take her from all this.
