Twisted Bonds

Chapter 62: Work

Emma's POV

Rebekah sped over to the man to grab him and throw him out. The man, seeing what she was about to do, dodged her and sped over to me.

Sluggish from being tired, I didn't react fast enough. He pulled me in front of him and wrapped an arm around me. I struggled to get my arms free from where he had them trapped at my sides. He leaned down towards my neck. He was close enough that I could feel his breath. "You don't want your little friend to get hurt, do you? Now, tell me what happened to Sage." he demanded.

I'm so done with his bullshit. Time to put a new skill to good use. I took a deep breath and turned my head. Once his head was in view, I blew fire right at his face.

He screamed out and immediately released his hold on me. He backed away and held his face. Unfortunately, he didn't keep burning. The fire was quickly put out. Once he started healing, he glared up at me. I glared right back at him. I was done with his crap.

He tried speeding to me again. I knocked him back with a wind blast. He tried to speed over to me a couple more times. I knocked him back again and again. Eventually, I said to hell with it and took control of the water within his body. It may feel wrong, but I was done dealing with him and just wanted to go back to sleep.

I guess we were making too much noise, because I heard Kol's voice as he approached the room. "What the hell is making all of that noise?"

He came into the room and saw the frozen body of the man I had in my grasp. "This asshole disrupted my sleep because he's looking for Sage." I told him.

"A friend of Sage, huh?" he said as he stared at the man. "I'll go grab Finn and we'll take care of him. You and Rebekah can go back to sleep."

Once Kol dragged Finn out of bed to help take care of the man, Rebekah and I retreated to her room to get some much needed sleep.

I ended up waking up before Rebekah. I quietly slid out of bed and went into my bag to grab a fresh set of clothes, my hairbrush, and my toothbrush. I tiptoed over to the bathroom to change.

When I emerged from the bathroom, Rebekah was getting out of bed. She didn't bother changing clothes and headed downstairs with me to get something to eat.

To my surprise, Finn was at the stove cooking up some eggs. Klaus was sitting at the kitchen island sipping on a glass of blood. "Good morning, love." Klaus said as he saw Rebekah and I step into the kitchen.

Finn turned around and shot us a smile. "Good morning! Are you two hungry?" Finn asked. We both nodded and took a seat at the island. I sat to the right of Klaus while Rebekah sat to his left.

Finn made scrambled eggs for all of us. While we were eating, Elijah walked in. As usual, he was wearing a suit. When he saw me, a smile spread across his face. "Good morning Emma." he said as he approached me.

"Good morning." I replied with a soft smile.

Elijah sat down next to me. "How did you sleep?" he asked.

"My sleep was disrupted last night when someone came in looking for Sage. Kol and Finn took care of it. But after that, I slept like a baby." I told him.

He briefly glanced up at Finn before focusing his gaze back on me. "Well, I hope you and Rebekah had fun last night." he said before kissing my cheek.

"We did." I told him as I felt my cheeks heating up.

Eventually, it was time for me to go back home. Packed up my things. I left a couple of outfits in Rebekah's closet in case I ever had to stay over again without having the chance to pack.
