Not a Clue

Down to the Bone

Emery ran through the forest. She didn't know how long or thick it was. She had a rucksack from a few months ago when she was bored. She packed it thinking she was going to try and survive in the forest. But her grandmother caught her. So she hid the backpack in her closet for the time being.

~.*.~

She sang as she walked in the forest. She was really lonely. She wished Emeran were here...
He was running through the forest like a bolt of lightning. She screamed and called for him, but he never came.
She wondered why she only say him for a few seconds and not -
"You were calling for me?"
She turned around to see Emeran with his left shoe on fire.
"Eek!" She said as she spotted the fire.
"Oh, it's nothing. I just found out that I can run faster than a sports car, though," he said with a proud look on his face.
"Wha-"
"Never mind."
She had found him. She wanted to hug him she was so happy.
She quickly explained how she came home to her house destroyed, and how the guy had killed her grandmother, and how she was told to run. She started hyperventilating as it finally hit her. Her dad was dead, her mom was dead, and her grandmother. She had no place to go.
"I can't do this. I just can't..."
"Emery," he picked up both of her hands, "I know you can do this."
This felt like the perfect time to tell him how she felt, so she said the 3 most common words that explained love, "I love you."
Emeran took a step back looking shocked, "Emery, I don't love you."
"What-"
Her dream must have been real, Emeran was here! So wasn't the rest of the dream supposed to happen too? Like feelings?
"I must be on my way, I hope you find your past."
"I hope you find your future."
They walked separate ways for about 5 seconds when suddenly Emery had an idea, "WAIT!"
Emeran was there in less than a second.
She grabbed his hand and ran.
