Ash and Emerald were back in the park, the same one from the beginning of the story. I guess this could represent a new start if you find yourself so entitled to put those pieces together.
Oh. Calvin is there too, Talking with Emerald. “Hello, Emerald,” Calvin said, with a certain nervousness in his voice. “Hello, Calvin.” Emerald sounded stern with him already, she was so angry with Hector that the only thing that she could think about was that anger, and it was clouding her brain. “So.. about the situation with our father.. He would like to apol-” Calvin was interrupted by Emerald. “No. No. If that's what this conversation is going to start with I'm going to go home, this just proves my thoughts about you Cal, you're so manipulatable, that father has you wrapped around his finger. Doesn't he?”. Calvin studded, “W-well.. No! He just wanted me to a-apologize for him!”. Emerald sighed, she was frustrated. “Calvin, allow me to tell you something about Hector, HE’S GOING TO TRY TO BREAK YOU! Take it from me if you let him break you you're never going to recover from it.” Vines wrapped around Emerald's arms to cover some old scars and things the more she got upset. Calvin's hand sparked. He was scared of Emerald, he had seen what he did to their father. And he had heard what she did to the guards, Hector had been filling his brain with biased things about Emerald. “Em.. calm down Calvin is just trying to apologize for Hector,” Ash said as he wrapped his arms around Emerald from behind her. “Sis.. I want you to know even though everything, that I would at least get to know you better before Hector does something to you..” Calvin said, Emerald's Eyes widened as he said that. “What. Did you just say?.. What's he going to do to me?..” Emerald replied, Ash was pretty upset about that too. Calvin got nervous, the ends of his fingers ignited with flames and he pressed his finger into his palms to control it, to stop it from burning Emerald. Emerald felt dizzy, Then she snapped, that was enough to set her over the edge. “You know what, I wish I would've never known you. I wish you were dead. You're just another pawn for Hector!” She laughed harshly. “How stupid of me to think that you are still on the good side of this.” The fire traveled up Calvin's arms, and it burst towards Emerald, burning her, and Ashton, Ash pulled her back away from Calvin. Calvin was in tears, he was.. Devastated, to say the least. Emerald was unfazed. Her vines became more active, little flower buds popped up on her vines now, as pretty as it was, don't be fooled dear reader, those flowers are going to spew poison pollen if they bloom. “I wanted to have a decent relationship with my brother you would've thought that that was going to happen but oh Nooooo of course not how stupid of me to think th-...” More flames, with.. Razor sharp-looking ash burst from Calvin. With Emerald's luck, nope not ash it was solid obsidian, sharp as a knife, directly stabbed into her Chest, Emerald looked down at the obsidian, and then to Calvin. Ashton gasped.. Emerald coughed up a little blood and she started seeing black spots. Calvin was confused at first and then bolted off running, back to Hector, of course. “A-Ash..” Emerald was on the verge of tears when she said that. It hurt like hell to breathe, let alone talk. Ash was already crying, He picked her up carefully, vines were already starting to wrap around the obsidian. “Hey, Hey.. shhh, just focus on the t-t-the sound of m-m-my v-v-voice and s-s-stay with m-me..” With Ash’s free hand he called 9-1-1 and had a short conversation with the operator, Emerald passed out sometime before the ambulance arrived… leaving Ash to guess if she was going to be ok.
Later.
Emerald was fine and it missed her vitals well, for the most part, she had a partially collapsed lung, which made her asthma worse. Emerald Chuckled, and that chuckle turned into a wheeze, a painful one at that. “Well- I guess this is going to be a fun scar story!” Emerald said. Ash brushed a strand of hair out Emerald's face "I'm just glad you're ok, that's all that matters, Hey, you're safe now too" Ash said. “Can we go home, Ash? I… never did like hospitals.” Ash nodded. “Yeah we can go home if you are medically sound” Emerald gave Ash the puppy dog eyes “But Ashyyyyyy” “No but’s Emerald, I understand that you don't like the hospital but you can't leave if you're not medically sound”. Long story short, Emerald ended up going home with Ash.
