Wanna Make You Mine.

<guys run!>

the three began to run as fast as they could but it was all in vain.
The demon hovered in the air and with two flaps of wings he was able to reach them in a few seconds. He was much faster.

<yuugo we must take it down> Emma stopped turning to the demon and began aiming in his eye, drawing her bow.

<gotcha!>
<ray, finish him off before it calls other demons> Yuugo yelled

The boy ran towards the demon as he lay on the ground groaning. He fired until the demon's mask shattered and he had a chance to finish him off .

<wooo.We are so strong!> Emma was thrilled. <we did a great job>
<Yuugo ... we should hurry> Ray had joined the two who started walking towards the shelter

<can't wait to go back. I'm so hung-> Emma did not have time to finish the sentence.

A noise in the bushes not far from them stopped her. A demon came out starting to run towards Ray, who would had no time to move out of his path.

Emma ran and threw herself on him. The two fell to the ground, rolling for a while and when they stopped Ray was on top of her, holding the girl by the shoulders

<Emma what the hell!? He could have killed you!>
<I saved your life! He was going to kill you ,Ray!>
<Emma...> She saved him...again

the demon who had missed his prey did not stop in time and slammed into the tree behind them.

<lovebirds sorry to interrupt but we have to take advantage of this moment while the demon is stunned. I have a plan.
We have to climb among the branches of the trees>

The two nodded, sensing the plan.

The three began to climb the trunk and to make their way through the branches climbing.
But emma felt something was wrong.

As she passed between one branch and another she felt pains in her abdomen.
Then she understood.

It was her wound.

She didn't medicated it the night before and didn't have time to do it before leaving the shelter.

She felt a sensation in her stomach like a warm liquid enveloping her
"No. This is bad. I'm losing blood again. And my vision ... starts to blur."

Emma wasn't giving up though. Branch after branch she resisted that slight pinch she felt in her abdomen, until she was at an adequate height to escape the demon's field of vision.

She was out of breath. She felt her strength fail

"I'm tired. How much blood am I losing..? I can't give up. Not yet!"

She clung to a branch and pushed herself to lie down on it on her stomach. Now she just had to wait.

The demon recovered quickly and yuugo promptly threw a bomb towards the forest, making a sound upon impact with the ground which attracted the enemy.

The demon thought he was running to meet a prey, but as soon as he founded the bomb he swallowed it, favoring the explosion in his stomach

<mission completed.> yuugo said landing on the ground
<He was probably attracted to the sound of gunfire. We must leave immediately>
<yes you're right. Emma get off we have to hurry>

<Emma?>

The two turned questioningly to the girl

"I can't move ... I'm ... tired" Emma's eyes began to close,as her body slowly gave up, slipping off from the branch.

<E... Emma!>

"I don't want to die ..."
She closed her eyes completely,fearing the impact with the ground.
Which did not happen.

Ray managed to grab her in his arms before she fell to the ground

<Emma! What's wrong with you?! >

<Ray..> she slowly opened her eyes to find Ray's in front of her.
<Emma you scared me! I was about to...to lose you!>

Tears began to stream down his face

"You're crying for me ... like that time"
<Ray. I'm fine don't cry>

She lied.

She felt her body getting heavier, but she didn't want to see anyone get worry for her. She had to pretend.

<idiot ... Emma you're an idiot> he said as he brought her face to his chest, holding her in his arms

They stayed like that for a couple of minutes.
yuugo put a hand on his shoulder.
<we have to go Ray. Let me carry her to the shelter>

They arrived at their destination.
Before entering the shelter, emma asked for a favor
<yuugo please, put me down>
<Uh?>

<If the children see me like this they will start to worry. I don't want them to suffer because of me. Please yuugo. I'm fine>

The adult stared at her for a few seconds and then nodded.

<when ​​we'll enter the shelter,you'll hold on your legs but you'll have to go straight to your room, without wasting too much time greeting the children. Ray and I will distract them. You need rest.>
Emma was a little sad but she nodded

And so they did
As soon as they entered the shelter, Emma forced herself to stand, while the children surrounded her.

She returned a quick greeting as she began to run to her room

<yuugo, what's up with emma? Why doesn't she say hello to us as usual?>
<don't worry. She just needs to rest. Nothing serious>

The children smiled at him in relief as Ray whispered to him
<take care of the children and dinner. I will take care of emma>

The adult nodded.
