Saving Our World

Chapter 9

*Emma's POV*

"Maria, please prepare a grave for me," I whisper to her. She gave me a question in look.

"Yes, prepare a funeral too," Aaron smiled, a very mad and evil smile. "When I am finished with her punishment, she might not be alive anymore." Shivers swept down everyone's spine.

"My lord, you must not talk like that in front of children," Marcus told him.

"He used to talk like that to me since I was 2," I shivered. My childhood was not very entertaining. Most of it was me getting in trouble for using my magic for bad reasons.

"That is because you will not learn until someone forces you to," he glared at me.

"Emma!" Maia ran up to me. "Is it true your half his age?" Everyone stared at me.

"Seriously? Is that very important?" I asked. I was answered with a round of nods. Seriously? "Fine. I am half his age. We have the same birthday and we were born at the same time." People say it's good luck, but I call it a curse. Ever since birth, it was impossible for me to go anywhere without our births being mentioned.

"That's so lucky!" Alice and Maia squealed. I just stared at them. Maria, then, claimed that is was Alice's bedtime and put hr to sleep then dragged us to another room. It looked like a nursery room. There were two cribs and a lot of baby stuff.

"Now explain to us what happened that day," Aaron growled, And I did.

*Maia's POV (before meeting Emma again)*

A day after we had been kicked out by Jack, our lord had busy contacting someone. We waited for him to finish his work. We pestered him into letting us help him.

"I have an idea where Emma might be," he finally said.

"Where?" I asked.

"London!" He said dramatically. Really dude? No one got time for that.

"Are you going there to search for her?" Marisol asked, quietly. I felt sorry for her. Her fiancee didn't care about her.

"I am," I declared. Michael followed my lead.

"I have something to clear up before we go," he said. See you all in 2 days, and with that he disappeared. Michael followed him. Marisol as well. I just went home.

Two days later we found ourselves in front of a beautiful mansion. It was enormous and really pretty. Unlike the other three people, I am not used to big houses like these. I've been to Michael's house a couple of times before but most of the time we played in the park.

A pretty woman ran up to greet us. She was around 25 or 27 years old. She was very pretty.

"Maria," our boss said. Somehow he turned into our employer. "Thank you for letting us stay here."

"It's a pleasure my lord," she curtsied and looked around. "I thought you were bringing my older sister." Wait, what? Emma is only 19 though. How is she older than this woman.

"Emma has not been found yet," he explained the situation to her. While they talked, I pulled Marisol and Michael away.

"Just how old is Emma?" I whispered.

"She's older than Maria," Michael whispered, stating the obvious.

"She is older than me," Marisol whispered.

"How old are you?" I asked her.

"I'm 20," she replied. "I think Miss Emma is older than our ages put together." WHAT??

"I heard that she was half the age of brother," Michael said.

"How old is your brother?" Marisol asked.

"You don't know?' I asked her. She shook her head shyly.

"He's turning 120 in a few months," Michael said, nodding to himself. Me and Marisol's eyes popped out of their places. What the moldy heck? How can someone be that old?

We stayed in the house and made up a plan to find Emma. It got late so we decided to rest. Then Maria's daughter ram away. And that led us to where we are now.

*After meeting Emma again*

After Emma explained everything to us we all decided to rest and talk about it tomorrow.

"Where am I going to sleep?" Emma asked. All the rooms were reserved, so she had no where to sleep.

"You are going to sleep on that couch," Boss said with a glint in his eyes. He held up some chains. "You are not allowed to walk out of this room." He chained her to the couch and then casted a spell on her. With a satisfied nod, he walked out of the room and the rest of us followed him. We pretty much knew wha would happen if we let her out.

"Goodnight," I heard Maria whisper to her before closing the door, locking it, then handing the key to Boss. We all went to our rooms and fell asleep.

*Emma's POV*

THAT EVIL JERK!

I tugged at the chains, but they wouldn't budge. I tried using a spell but it repelled off the chains.

"Magic proof," I groaned. I yawned a couple times before I fell asleep. I felt someone put something warm on top of me, but I didn't wake up.

I did wake up to the cries of a baby though. I heard it crying andi immediately got up. When I got up, there were no chains on me. The baby's cries got louder.

I walked over to the crib of the crying babe. I picked him up and comforted him. His diaper was leaking. I sighed as I opened the lights to change his diaper. Thank goodness he didn't poop.

"Go back to sleep baby," I whispered as I laid him back into his crib. On the crib I saw the baby's name. It was Jackson. The other crib said Jason.

"Cute names," I whispered to myself. I looked at the clock. It was 6 o'clock. "Already?" I yawned. I stood where I was staring at the cute babies sleep.

"My nephews turned out to be more adorable than I thought," I smiled to myself. I walked to the door and saw a package on the floor with a note. The not said, "These are the clothes that you will wear when your family arrives. Do not try to escape, I placed a barrier over this room. I will come to pick you up when the time is right. Sighed S."

"This JERK!" I muttered angrily. I tore the note up and burned it. I was about to throw the package at the wall when I remembered the babies. Ugh!!

I sat down on my couch bed and stared the package. I finally opened it and took out its contents. I pulled out a beautiful long sleeved dress that flowed down to my ankles. It was a dark blueish color. There was also a pair of matching heels and a cute hair band that were blue as well.

"I hate to admit it, but Aaron has really nice style," I sighed. I walked into the bathroom and changed there. My long hair flowed down to it's full length and my bangs cover my left eye. I brushed my hair with a comb that I found in the bathroom. It was probably the one of the babies' comb.

I sat on the couch fully dressed. It was 7:50 now. I like to take a long bath, then a long shower. I must have used up a lot of water. When I came out of the bathroom, I noticed that the babies were gone.

"Now I'm here all alone," I muttered to myself. I sat there waiting, but I slowly felt myself drifting off to dreamland. I was about to take a bite out of my cotton candy when I heard someone call my name. I woke up and saw Aaron hovering over me.

"It's time," he said. He helped me stand up. I looked at the clock. It was 8:45 now. I followed Aaron down a long flight of stairs. He stopped in front of the room. I stood next to him and waited for the Butler to open the door.

"Do I have to do this?" I asked him.

"Yes," he replied. He held out his arm, and I took it. The doors opened and we walked in together. There sat my family and friends.

There was a very awkward silence.
