Kept In The Dark (Completed)

Chapter 19

EMMA POINT OF VIEW

"Emma, you okay?" Someone asked me. I look over to the couch to see Jacob wide awake, worried look in his eyes.

That was a dream right?

No, as much as I hate to admit this it's a sign that I'm in so much danger, and putting these guys in danger.

They'll never let me leave alone especially Jacob. I would have to sneak out, but when? How?

How does he still remember me? That was thousands of Xorumian years, hundreds in human years, that basically a long long time ago.

If you have Xorumian blood you live a long, but still able to die. How did this dude not die?

"Emma! Please just tell me if your okay?" Jacob asked frustrated and worried. I look over at him seeing his pain clearly written on his face.

I get up, and start walking to the door, ignoring his question, but he beats me to it, and blocks the door.

"I'm fine Jacob, please let me go..."

"Your definitely not fine first what happened yesterday, and now this?" He didn't tare his gaze away from mine.

What does he mean 'this'?

"What do you mean? I'm fine..." I stopped short because Jacob shoots the glare at me making me suddenly angry at him.

"Emma, stop! Your not leaving, your not even leaving this room so just stop, okay? Your not exactly in the right state of mind..."

Ugh, how dare he say that.

"'I'm not in the right state of mind'? Like you would know..."

"Actually I do know. I know you well enough that you wouldn't attack any of us..."

My head's going to explode!

"How would you know that? You don't know me, and I don't know you guys either. I'm a hero you guys...you guys are just villains." I finally broke him, he steps out of the way hurt look all over his face. He walks away from me opening the door to get out himself and closed it behind him, leaving me there shocked, and close to tears. I ran out of the room, but he's already gone.

What wrong with me? He knows I care about them, that I have soft spot for them...

Exactly why I need to leave. If this hooded figure knows I care about them he would hurt them to get to me.

I have to distance myself until I get out. No more talking, training, or anything with them....

Especially Jacob, I can't focus when I'm with him, and right now I need that concentration.

But I also need to apologize to him, after I do that then I'll shut everyone out.

I walk into the bathroom, locking the door as I do so, and the first thing I see is my reflection. There's bags under my eyes, my green eyes look more darker than normal, I look completely different and not in a good way. I unlock the door and head out.

I just need some fresh air that's all.

"Where do you think you're going?" Zack voice came from behind me, his voice laced with boredom.
