A Shadow In The Abyss (Rogue love story)

Chapter 8

Emma's POV

I walked out of Yukino's apartment, and boy am I glad!

Finally out of that smelly little apartment! It smelled like perfume in there! I admit I am being bitter.

Something about that girl just really.... bugs me.

Maybe it's 'cause she hangs out a lot around Rogue and seems really friendly with him ~

Rogue and I walked to the train station in complete silence. I would say that it was awkward, but.... I guess it is.

We finally reached it and it was PACKED.

I had to drag Rogue onto the train with him mumbling things like 'can we walk' or 'I don't wanna go on the train'.

And as I suspected, the train was almost at full capacity. Rogue and I had to sit on the same bench. Great.

When the train started moving Rogue's face turned pale then green.

Fifteen minutes aboard the train, it made a sharp turn causing Rogue to fall over.

His head fell on my lap and he was mumbling a few things that I couldn't make out.

Having nowhere else to put my hands, I put them on his hair.

Gently my fingers started playing with locks of hair and he seemed to have fallen asleep.

What am I doing?! I can't get all mushy mushy! I'm not capable of loving nor being loved. Mushy crap is not my specialty nor will it ever.

Even so my hands automatically played with his black hair that resembled a raven's wings in the night sky on a cold winter day with snow falling from the sky..... NO! Stop it Emma!

I sighed looking out the window from my seat.

A few hours later ~

I had to drag Rogue all the way out of the train. Why I didn't leave him there, I don't know.

He regained the colour in his face and he was finally able to walk again.

There was this uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach and a lump formed in my throat.

A few minutes of walking into the town, I spotted my guild. Or where my guild used to be.

Everything was in shambles, bodies littered the ground and there was barely a wall standing.

I gasped feeling despair wash over me.

I started to run tears in my eyes.

I looked desperately to find one person. To see if their body was among the dead.

A tuff of blonde hair caught my eye and I ran over to it.

Under a pile of rubble, my brother lay blood leaking out from an injury on his head, his eyes closed.

"No..." I whispered and used my magic to suck in all the rubble.

I fell to my knees cradling my brother's body. He's gone. The last person I ever cared about.... Gone.

And once again I wasn't strong enough to protect him! I'm so weak on the inside no matter how strong I look! My parents died because I wasn't strong enough to save them. My brother died because I wasn't strong enough to protect him.

Why does God want to punish me like this? Why have I done to deserve this?!

I didn't notice my sobs until someone pulled me into a hug.

I was shocked but I buried my face in that person's chest let all of my emotions out. All my despair and pain.

He rubbed comforting circles on my back and I sat there wailing.

Why..... Why?!

I calmed down my sobs and cries dying down and I just sat there Rogue's arms wrapped around me.

People who passed by whispered and I tensed.

'Did she kill her guild too?'

'Wasn't her brother in that guild? Did she want him dead too?'

People will never understand. Rogue glared at them and looked down at me with question in his eyes.

I gulped and stood up brushing off my clothes.

There was one more person that I needed to see.

Walking around, my breath hitched as I saw a frail old hand under a large mass of rubble.

I used the same technic I did to get the rubble off Steff.

My master, completely crushed and surrounded by a pool of blood lied there, unmoving.

I checked her pulse. Negative. I sighed and stared at her with sorrow in my eyes.

I'll have to become the guild master now. Not that there's a guild to be the master of. But it'll be rebuilt. Someday...

I walked over to Rogue who checked my brother's pulse.

He picked him up gently and I looked at him in question. "He's still alive."

And with that we darted towards the nearest hospital.

A/N: did I scare you? No? Ok hahaha....... This was more gory then the other chapters by did ya like the REmma moment? If you have an idea for a ship name for Rogue x Emma leave it in the comments. I don't like how REmma sounds......
