BLOOD LEGACIES

I have always thought getting pricked by a needle or having a fall was the greatest pain ever. Ever since I was little I was cautious of anything that would cause me pain and my mom was weary of them because she knew how much I throw a tantrum about it. The slightest wound hurt so bad that I would barely be able to catch my breath... I thought that was all it was. But I was wrong...

This was by far the greatest pain I have ever felt, not a prick by a needle, the sight of my blood, or a fall... but the pain to the heart was far worse. Like a grip held onto it and squeezing it with no mercy, like my very heart was on fire. This... is... PAIN.

And I didn’t want it... because it hurts so much and my tears stated that meaning perfectly. The last time I cried as hard as this was when I left my mom at the airport, maybe this was far worse... a part of myself was missing.

"Emma"

I sobbed and pivoted my head to face Grayson who now stood beside me and then I hugged him and cried more until I was pretty sure I ran out of tears. His being here right now allowed me to unleash everything all at once, I just had to because keeping a pain as deep as this inside of you will kill you, there are many ways to let it out and I chose tears, not enough to heal it but to subdue it enough to release myself.

Grayson held me firm as I poured my heart to him, he was quiet and that was exactly what I needed, I just needed his presence and the comfort it has to offer, I couldn’t ask for more.

I was out of tears now, only my running nose as I pulled away and used the back of my hand to wipe it off. My gaze was leveled and I just stared at the ground in silence, he was yet to speak and so was I. But at the tip of my tongue, a sudden fire burned through my cheeks and then reached my words.

I raised my gaze to his calculative ones waiting for me to say something and I did with every courage I could offer. "I will not them take him away from me"

I thought my voice would sound shaky or defeated but no... it sounded strong just like I want it to be because I meant every word I said, I didn’t care if the world didn’t want us to be together or if he was a Rogue and his human side gone or that the only way to find him back was for him to reject me. Well... I refuse to let that be the end, I refuse to let that be the only solution, I will bring him back and tell him how much I love him.

"I will bring him back"

I darted my eyes to Emilia who walked towards us with a sad expression.
