Chapter 5: 147 days...

Emily's pov:

its been 147 days...147 days since i've been here, a 147 days since i ran from my brother and left him behind...i miss him, i miss my family, but i feel like...if i go back, that they will be put in danger. though that doesn't stop me from worrying about them, i want to see my brother again. i pick up the family photo that i kept with me ever since i escaped the lab. i sigh and wipe the tears from my eyes. "Hey Emily, are you alright?" :Nancy asked me with concern in her words. "No. i miss my brother." :i respond my voice sounding dull and hopeless. i almost feel like brother would've tried to search for me by now but so far, he hasn't and THAT'S what worries me...did something happen to him? Is father abusing him again, and is it my fault? "i'm sure he's okay. you just gotta hang in there besides, you made the choice to stay here. you just have to stay strong." :Nancy told me. yeah right, i made the choice to stay here. i need to stay strong, for his sake. but why, does that make me feel so...alone. its all my fault. i made a poor choice. i'm a goddamn monster. a freak. an outcast. i feel alone...i feel, hopeless. "Emily stop...! you causing my bed to float!" :Nancy shouted. i gasp softly and put the bed down. "i'm sorry Nance, i was lost in my thoughts i guess..." :i spoke. i felt something wet on face, i was crying...

i try and focus on something else, i feel kinda happy that my hair is starting to grow back and that i've gained some weight some i'm not so frail anymore. i feel stronger than i did before, i started lifting weights just in case i need to fight fist to fist. i get up and face Nancy. "Hey Nance, could you do my hair...i just noticed it's a curly mess, haha!" :i ask Nancy with a bit of a smile on my face. She smiled and nodded, she gestured for me to sit on her bed so i did and she started to brush my hair and style it for me, and when she was done i looked in the mirror and i smile. i like the fact she managed to straighten my hair out. "Thanks Nance, it's perfect. i love it." :i spoke with a smile on my face. i pick up my family photo off the floor. "i'm...i'm gonna check on brother, with my powers...this worry is killing me." :i told her, she just nodded in understanding. i go into the basement, Mike was there i gave him a slight smile. he smiled back at me. i went over to the tv, i turned in it on and tuned it so it was only showing static, Mike was confused but i ignored him and took a bandana that Lucas had left behind and tied it over my eyes as i sat down in front of the tv with the static going on the screen. i pulled the family photo from my pocket and held it gently up to my heart. i close my eyes and start to use my powers, i focused on brother and the next thing i knew i was in the black room again, black water on the floor. i heard, crying? i turn around and see, brother with his head in his hands...sitting on his bed...i heard him mutter something but i couldn't hear what he was saying so i went closer to him. "Where is she...." :i finally heard what he muttered. i sigh, he misses me just as much as i, miss him. i finally stop hesitating and speak to him. i put my hand on his arm. "Brother. Can you...hear me?" : i speak. his head shoots up and he looks around his room, i'm not there but, he could've sworn he heard my voice. "E-Emily? i can hear you but...i don't, see you...have i gone crazy?" :he responds. i start to cry, he looks like he hasn't slept in days or eaten...

"i'm here brother, you're not going crazy...i'm using my powers to see you." :i respond to him, emphizing on the word see hoping he'll understand it. then he looks right at me but i know, he can't ACTUALLY see me...i continued to cry as i talk to him. "i miss you Emily." :he spoke. i sniffle. "i do too brother, i do too. i want to be by your side but, i ran...so that the bad men won't find you...i don't want you getting hurt, because of me escaping the lab..." :i spoke. he sighed and just nodded. "we're fine but please Emily, come home...i feel, lost without you..." :he spoke. i started to shaking as sobs rack over my body. that tears it, i'm going home...i'm going home NOW...i cannot stay here any longer. "Brother, i'm coming home." :i speak. i gasp softly and exit the black room, i tear off the blindfold. i cry and clutch the photo to my chest. Mike looks at me worried, i get up and give him the bandana and say. "Thank you Mike but...i cannot stay, i'm going home to my family, to my brother..." :i speak through tears, a smile on my face. and before he can say anything, i run upstairs, through the front door, down the streets and towards the woods to...my brother. i continue to run as tears flow down face, i smile. i continue running and running till i see the house come into view, i take into notice that father's car is gone...he's not home? good. i go up to the front door and try carefully to open, damn it...its locked. i use my powers and undo the lock, door swings open...squeaking as it does. i hear footsteps and then i see...brother. i pant and look at him, right in the eyes. i burst into tears and run to him, i hug tightly...sobbing and crying my heart out. he returns my hug with a soft smile as he start to cry too. "B-Brother, i'm home...at last." : i speak.

Billy's pov:

She's back, she's back...i can't believe she's actually back. i'm so relieved. i pull away from the hug and smile. she smiles back at me. "Emily, your...your here. oh thank god..." : i speak finally, my voice a bit raspy from crying. "i am Brother, and i won't be leaving ever again." : i respond. i hear footsteps and i turn and tense slightly when i see...father. he's home...shit. "You...what the fuck are you doing here?! What gives you right to come running the fuck huh!! Just cause you missed your worthless brother! Get out you whore!" :he yelled. i felt Billy tensing up from beside me. i growl. "No." :i spoke. he looked furious that i rebelled against him. "Did you just, disrespect me? You ungrateful bitch!" :he yelled at me and he stormed over to me ready to grab my wrist and throw me out but, i act quickly and grab his wrist first and slam him into the table. "i'm not weak anymore father." :i speak, with a snarl on my face. "did you forget what happened LAST time you tried to hurt me and brother? i BROKE your arm!" :i yell at him, i shoot my arm out towards him with an outstretched hand aimed at him. i lift him up off the ground with my mind, blood started to flow from my nose. i glared at him, with rage igniting in my eyes. he struggled against my power but, i just growled. and gave a quick nod off to the right, i hear a crack signifying i broke his arm. "MY ARM! MY ARM! YOU BROKE IT!" :he screamed at me. i grin. "I told you father, hurt me or brother again and...I'LL BREAK YOUR FUCKING ARM ASS HAT!" :i yell at him, i didn't care that i swore...but i didn't care. "i mean it, don't you EVER hurt me OR brother EVER again! got it! Say it! Say you understand! SAY IT!" :i yelled, i slam him into the bookcase. "SAY IT, SAY YOU UNDERSTAND!" :i scream at him at the top of my lungs. "Shit! I understand! i'm sorry!" :he yelled, tears pricking at the corners of his eyes from the pain i caused him. i growl slightly. "Don't apologize to me, apologize to your son." :i say with a bit of venom in my voice. i use my powers and face him towards Billy. "Apologize." :i say. i tighten my grip on him, so he feels like he kinda suffocating. "Ack! Fuck, okay! I'm sorry...i'm so damn sorry, i had no right to do what i do you...i'm a terrible parent..." :he spoke in defeat. i grin and drop him from my hold. "good, now beat it shit head." :i tell him. he scrambles to his feet rushes out the door and leaves to hospital. finally things are back on track and my life with my brother can continue like it was before.
