"IMPOSSIBLE YET POSSIBLE"

Emma

I WALKED INTO THE kitchen with Nick who had an arm around my waist. Elena stood in front of the window looking straight ahead but turn to us when hearing us enter. It wasn't long though until she turned back her head.

"Did you get any sleep?" She asked "I slept standing up and Emma couldn't even put her eyelids together without seeing her" Nick explained "How are you? Things seem to be rough on you lately" Elena placed a hand in my arm.

I smiled sympathetically "Not only on me but on yourself too. Go rest, we'll do the next watch. You've been awake for 20 hours" I said "Jeremy didn't find a single trace of them. I don't like how they just showed up and then disappeared like we hallucinated the whole thing" Nick said.

He was right though. Right after we were all calm, Jeremy went looking for them and found nothing. Not even the basket I told him I saw "Whatever it was, I think they're trying to get to Malcolm" Elena explained.

It wouldn't be impossible. Malcolm have not stopped talking about someone coming, perhaps its them who he's talking about "It can't be ghosts because I don't- I don't believe in ghosts. Neither do you, right?" Nick asked Elena.

"There was a time if you told me werewolves existed I would have laughed. I don't laugh that much anymore" Elena said taking her coat "That's not reassuring" Nick said and looked at me "What about you?" He asked me.

I shrugged honestly not knowing what to think "Yesterday I choked on my own blood while hearing a baby cry and in turns out none of it was true but an illusion" I said "Again, not reassuring" Nicky repeated.

We both looked confused at Elena who look like she was leaving "You're not going out there..." Nick said with a question tone "I don't have a choice" She said and handed us her phone "Phillip's sister's here?" I asked and Elena nodded.

Nick gave her his car keys and she left. A couple of minutes passed and I was looking through the window when Nick started kissing my neck. He turned me around and kissed me but I soon pulled away "What's wrong, Em?" He asked.

"That woman, whoever... whatever she was did something to me" My stare was glued to the ground but I could already see Nick's expression. He pulled my chin up with his hand making me look at him.

     His hand then moved to my cheek "What did she do to you?" Nick asked. Even though Nick asked concern you could hear the anger hidden in the words. I pushed him a few steps away and lifted my shirt.
