Emilia's POV

(2 months ago)
The cool breeze of late September night whipped past my face as Alaric had taken an isolated road and I'd urged him to hit the gas. "I love this car-" a bug comes smacking into the back of my throat instinct taking over causing me to swallow realization hitting just then that I swallowed a bug.

Uh-oh.

Attempting to expel the pour innocent creature, I force myself to cough. A second later the weight of a large warm hand pats my back gently but firmly "What's wrong?" His voice muffled due to the wind. Before I can attempt to get a word out a large, what I can only assume to be another bug, enters my mouth but this time I'm alert enough to spit it out and immediately stick my head back into the car.

"I ate a bug. And almost ate a second one." I say stunned looking down at my stomach wondering if I'll see it soon on the other side and immediately gaging at the thought of something moving in my poop. No, it would be dead by then...dead. Guilt crashes into me as I think of a post I saw about when you kill an ant what if its little ant family is sitting at home not knowing that they'll never see him again? Then I think about Princess and The Frog, what if I just killed a Ray flying past to meet with his Evangeline?

I have to get him out before he dies.

"Emalia-"

"Stop the car! You need to help me get him out of me!"

"What?" Alaric looks dumbfounded alternating his view between the road and me.

"Alaric, pleaseeeee." I catch his eyes, hoping he'll see just how urgent the situation is. Slowly tapering down the speed, he stops at the side of the road leading to a forest. If I hadn't been so concerned about the well-being of little Ray I would have worried about some killer coming out from the trees.

I get to work the second I'm out of the car thinking about wet socks and other stuff that might make me throw up.

"What the fuck are you doing." I hear Alaric's voice over the disgusting grunts coming out of me till finally puke comes flowing out my mouth some funky red pieces appearing that I know are strawberries from the fresas con crema I had forced Alaric to eat.

I move my hands up to brush my hair out of the way to hopefully not get as much vomit on it but thankfully Alaric had thought of that before I'd even thought about it.

I need to find him! I avoid the puddle and shoot towards the forest grabbing a stick from the ground and go back. Hands come down around my waist pulling me away from Ray.

"Fuck." Alaric mutters twisting me around to face him, his hand coming to my face and wiping some of my vomit from my face. "What the hell is going on."

"Did you clean vomit off my face?" He looks down at his hand, shrugs, and wipes his hand clean on his pants, returning his gaze up to me. I'll buy him new pants.

"What the hell?" Moving the thoughts of Alaric not only having held my hair and cleaned me up I return back to Ray.

"Alaric we are wasting precious time he's drowning right now come on help me find Ray."

"Ray?" The hand he'd kept on my waist tights.

"Yes, the bug I swallowed, now come on."

He follows me to the puddle and I break the stick in half so he can help. We bend down to the foul-smelling contents of my stomach trying to find Ray.

"I can't believe I'm saying this shit but I found your bug." Alaric mutters glaring at me.

I squeal with delight looking down at Ray who really turned out to be a firefly. "Why isn't he moving?" I whisper to the pouting man beside me. He narrows his eyes at me his mouth tight.
