YOURS

6

I was waiting for Steven outside sitting on a nice small garden table, under the shade of a big umbrella. drinking lemonade, the sun was warming the morning quite much. Mary brings him , he looks nervous, he has a bouquet of purple flowers. I stand and greet him, I take the flowers and smell them. numerous aromas fill my nose.

"thanks, but you don't have to bring me flowers"

"is just common courtesy"

"yes well, now to what you came for, tell me what do you have on Bennet lair"

"where do I start?" he touched his chin "first, may I ask, what is the true intensions in this new pairing of you two"

"is mere professional, you see, I've been hurt by the Winchester boys and so it seems mister bennet to, so we made a deal to give back the favor, northing dangerous I swear"

"so there's non romance between you two?"

"no"

"thank God. I mean not that I care. well let me rephrase that, I do care but not in that way"

"steven. I get it, you tend to over explain yourself, that's funny, but no need, ok?"

"yes miss, now back to the theme, mister bennet has been involved in illegal terms with a couple merchants, not only stolen merchandise but in illegal substances, also giving passage to criminals, not yet caught in the act, but there's couple of my people investigating him, they say he came back here for an unsolved business"

"really, he's quite the catch huh? and you say there's people investigating him"

"yes we've been following him for a long time, but he knows how to work"

"I  bet" I turn to look at 5the flowers "so are you from here?"

"oh no I live far away from here, I'm just here investigating the unsolved cases once im done im planning on going back to my home town"

"and there is normal to just give flowers to girls?"

"oh no, is just to the ones we respect the most"

"oh well thanks I'm flattered" I breath in and just thought "only if you knew"

"excuse me?"

oh shit I thought out loud. "Emm, lets just say I've been through things, not so lady like"

"really? like what, I mean if you can say, or they are really embarrassing, because if is that I got a couple" he chuckles

"they are far from embarrassing, more like regrets"

He looks at me in a weird way, but not in a weird bad way. 

"now I want to know, I'm intrigued and that's not easy to do"

I laughed "really, now I am more flattered"

"its been delightful miss Emilia but I must go, I'm going to keep investigating some buildings in town, but first, is there any way that you re think going to the Winchester house?"

I look around searching time to think. "if you knew the nightmares that live in that house, but really there no need to investigated their house"

"are you sure?"

"certain"

"well then farewell miss Emilia"

                                                                        ***

As I was walking through my house seeing the paintings and artwork on the carpet, I can't help to think, is it really worth it, investigating the death of  Susan. The memories lingering in her mind like torture, they running in the hallways, playing, laughing. She misses her so much. Then Mary interrupts her.

"Emi your mother calls for you in the study"

I fast go there, she's reading a letter ad my father is with her.

"hi darling, get ready we are going out" her mother orders

"out? where?"

"to the Winchester place, they invited us for dinner"

"oh no, I'm not going, you know what they did too me"

"no I don't, that's the thing, you don't tell me nothing, all I know is that they left, maybe they want to apology or something"

"but mother, they court me and then left me to go and study abroad"

"maybe you didn't give your best, beside studying is a wonderful way of expending the future"

"what give my best?" at this point we both are getting lauder 

"Emilia I really don't want to argue with you, we are going and that's it, final"

"but-"

"EMILIA" My father steps in with almost a scream

"I will go and get ready then" I left the room almost running. Why me, this is torture, I hate this I hate them, I curse the day I met them both. I put the first boring dress in my closet, let my hair loose, nothing special, no perfume, no nothing. as plane I can go. We arrive  the curse mansion, the staff welcomes us in and guide us to the dinning table. Fast I meet those eyes, blue as the ocean, piercing my soul and skin.

"please sit" Vermont fast greet us

"welcome" Jonathan speaks and I just want to vomit

"thanks for inviting us" mother fast says with huge smile

"yes, but may I say why the warm invitation?" My father asks

We all sit across from each other except Vermont he's at the top of the table. Infront of me was Jonathan and next to him Raymond.

"I have heard that we left things mid way, my kids left abruptly, and I don't imagine the pain it may cost to your daughter"

"yes, may I say and sorry if I sound rude, but it was so devastating and not so gentleman of your part, more like un civilized"

Jonathan stands up. "I am deeply sorry miss Emilia, if you may found some compassion and forgive me, and maybe take my hand once more, I promise I wont leave you again, or you may put a knife through my heart"

I laughed softly. "compassion? are you crazy" I look up to him

"Emilia" my mother fast talked

"take your hand? you are speaking out of place my lord, I rather die, knife through your heart that I may do, since you already did it to mine" tears run down my eyes. I stand up and walked out of that place, once out I run towards the woods. I felt Jonathan following me, the scream of my mom calling me, a couple more footsteps following. I take my shoes off and run as fast as I could, I felt the air getting cold and the grass wet under my feet. I step on my drees and fell. I fast feel hands on my arms turning me around, Jonathan gets on top of me.

"GET OFF ME I HATE YOU" I scream and move like crazy to get off his grip

"please Emilia stop, don't say that" he gets close to me and I give him a head but to his nose, he falls back and I get up fast.

"Emilia wait" Raymond arrives

Jonathan was bleeding out of his nose, he gets up grabbing it.

"Emilia please, forgive me, I love you" he says letting go his nose and the blood just dripping like water on his shirt. then it started to rain hard.

"I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE TWO OF YOU, I JUST WANT TO FORGET" I scream to outstand the sound of the rain

"Thats why you with that guy? he's no good for you" Raymond says with his hair going down his forehead looking me with his puppy eyes

"oh and you are, you can't even decide for yourself, your brother does it for you, save it both of you, and if you actually love me, that I doubt so, stay away from me and if you are so kind, go away as far as you can go" I turned around and kept walking away. in the deep forest, the cold water of the rain wrapped me, it felt cold as ice. My legs started to lose strength. My body was shaking, I couldn't see where I was going my glasses where covered by the water, and anyway everything looked the same. I rest against a tree and fall down, I felt so tired, my eyes where closing on their own, till they did.
