Dauntles Black Heart

ch 24

Every one left, so it is just Thomas and I, in the training room. I punch a punching bag.
"Emerald, take a break." Thomas says, he is hitting on the floor watching me.
"No" I simply say hitting the bag.
"Fine," he says sighing then he pokes out hid bottom lip and says in a little kid's voice, "please Emerald, come set next to me." I turn around and look at him, trying so hard not to laugh. He then cocks his head and bats his eyes, "pleeeeeeeeeease" I role my eyes then set in front of him.
"Are you happy now?" I ask.
"Not completely," he says in his normal voice, then kisses me, "I am now."
"I'm going to get some papers I left on my desk." I say then walk out the door.

When I get to my desk, it is cleaned off, Marabella doesn't have a smile on her face.
"Marabella, what is wrong?" I ask, she looks up.
"Emerald?" she says, gorge looks up, Marabella touches my face then hugs me with a smile on her face.
"I thought you were dead" she says.
"I was, but thanks to an erudite I'm not" I say. She then pulls me away.
"You need to talk to Max, now" she says, then pushes me to his door. I knock.
"Go away" he says, Marabella tells me to go in anyway. I open the door, Max has his back to the door and looks out the window.
"Max" I say, "Marabella said I should come see you." He turns around.
"Emerald, but- you're dead. How are you here? I saw your dead body on the bed, and everyone crying."
"An erudite saved me." I say. He now stands in front of me.
"I'm so sorry about the other day, I don't hate you. You just remind me of..." he pauses and turns back to the window, "my daughter. She was sarcastic, funny, smart, pretty." I stand next to him.
"She died six years ago, she would have sixteen almost seventeen. I was still coping with her death, then you came." He says.
"I'm sorry about your daughter" I say, "I need to catch up on my missed work." I then walk out.

When I get back to the training room, Thomas is punching the bag like that is the thing he hates the most. I can hear him saying something under his breath, I say behind the corner and watch him. "I hate you, Marcus, I hate you." He says, "You almost took her from me. I hate you. I know Four should be the one to kill you, but he doesn't, I swear I will." Then Four walks in.
"Thomas, dude, calm down." Four says.
"I- I- hate him" Thomas says.
"I know, but we can't kill him. If we do then we are no better than him."
"He needs to pay for what he has done."
"I know, but he can't do that if he is dead."
"Yeah your right, but I still hate him" Thomas says still punching the crap out of the bag.
"Where is Emerald, I saw her walking here" Four says, I then walk through the door.
"Hey guys" I say.
"Speaking of the devil" Thomas says.
"Were you talking about yourself again?" I ask Thomas, he rolls his eyes.
"Have you been practicing?" Four asks.
"She just now took a break." Thomas says.
"She is all work and no play" Four says.
"I could go for some Xbox" I say. Then we go to my apartment.

I lose the games I played, I'm so tiered, I lean on Thomas and fall asleep.

Thomas POV

Emerald just fell asleep, Four left, I wrap my arms around her. I love her, she loves me, but are we to young to be I love? I don't know.
