Wanna Make You Mine.

19

Time flew by quickly.
Gathering supplies, preparing medicines. There was so much to do in 5 days and everyone wanted to help.
It was dinner time and the children were all seated waiting for Gilda to fill their plates with food.

Emma had to discuss the final details of the expedition with Lucas and together they headed for the dining room.
But they weren't the only ones.
<EMMA!> lannion and thoma started running towards her when they saw her.

<guys dinner is ready we have to go!> she turned and lowered herself slightly so the children could climb onto her shoulders and she started running.

It was their favorite game.
She was fine now.
She no longer had any injuries to worry about. She could run as long as she wanted.
And so she did, without ever stopping, to her destination

<HERE WE ARE !!> they shouted in chorus.
Gilda looked at them laughing <you arrived just in time. I'm serving!>
<Let's eat guys!>

Finally the three took their seats too, followed by Lucas, who was left behind.
<have they abandoned you?> yuugo asked, laughing as his childhood friend sat down next to him
<kinda>

<THANK YOU FOR THE MEAL!>
And everyone was starting to binge.

<today was really tiring> said Don
<it's true. still there are many things to do!>
<gillian don't talk with your mouth full ....>
Jemina laughed at nat's comment but her smile immediately faded away.
<Emma, ​​Ray I will miss you so much ...>
<don't worry. They'll be back safe and sound soon, won't they emma?> Anna reassured her

The orange-haired girl turned, feeling called into question.
She had cheeks full of food and a funny look that everyone laughed at.

She hurried to swallow, hitting herself in the chest
< Jemina when we return we'll all play tag!>
<YEAHHH!> everyone was thrilled. They were wracking with competition
<yuugo and lucas will play too, right?> she added then

Lucas was about to spit out everything he was chewing while yuugo limited himself to a
<WHAT ??>
<Yeeey!> Chris yelled

<We have a certain age to play these things again. it wouldn't be a fair match anyway>

<Hey! We're not like that -> oliver was about to reply but stopped when he saw the Grace Field children get up from their seats

<Are you underestimating us?> Nat replied, while everyone else looked at Yuugo with determination.
<you will regret challenging the Grace Field children> Dominic said
<We're gonna make you eat the dust, won't we guys?> Yvette said
<YEAHH!> They all shouted exulting.

<they're scary ...> Oliver whispered to Zack who nodded silently, swallowing, just like the other Goldy Pond children.

The two adults looked at them, still in shock.
Lucas whispered to his friend <I think they had taken this discussion a little too seriously>
<just a little?!> yuugo yelled.

And they all resumed their meal.

Ray heard someone pull his shirt from behind. He turned and saw Jemina looking at him with her big eyes.
He took her and sat her on his lap
<what's up?> he smiled at her. He knew she wanted to ask something
<can you read me a story before sleep?>
He nodded and smiled at her tenderly.

<Emma, ​​Emma!> she grabbed her big sister's shirt at her shoulder and pulled it lightly to get her attention.
The girl who was talking to Gillian turned around.

<yes?> she asked
<Ray will read me a story before he goes to bed. Are you coming too?>
<with pleasure!> she stroked the baby's head.

<Emma what's in your neck?> Don asked.

Jemina was still holding her shirt uncovering the hickey on her neck.
Emma blushed slightly with embarrassment
<yes emma, what is it?> violet asked instigating her

<Oh that's right! Emma told us about it, she said it's a bug bite. Did you ask Anna for a remedy?>

Ray listened to Oliver's words
<oh...an insect bite, huh.> he rested his elbow on the table, holding the chin in his hand, pretending to be interested <and tell me what kind of bug was that?>

Emma turned with a furious expression.
She knew what he was doing.
"You'll pay for this"

<a really big and hateful insect!>
<oh really?> he let out a laugh.

<don't you dare laugh.
Also I advise you to take precautions. It might bite you too at any moment!> she looked at him defiantly.

<well, that means that I will have to keep this insect at bay> he said by narrowing his eyes and lightly licking his lips.
No one saw him thanks to his soft fringe. But emma saw it
And she soon felt hot.

She felt someone rock her shoulder making her jump <Emma come with me. I will put you a preparation of medicinal herbs that will help you> Anna looked at her with kind eyes.
<Y-Yes ...>

But before leaving the room emma gave a last look full of vengeance to the raven, which he replied laughing.

<ray, is Emma sick?> Jemina asked, still sitting on his legs.
<no don't worry. She's fine. So what story would you like to read?> He picked her up and went to the library to let the girl choose the book.

<.... and they lived happily ever after> Ray closed the book after finishing it and checked on Jemina, who had collapsed into sleep.
He gave her a kiss on her forehead and left the room quietly as not to wake her.
He went to the library to put the book back but when he was about to go back to his room, saw emma go up the stairs.

<yo> he greeted her as he approached.
She turned around just crossing her arms across her chest as she stared at him.
<what did Anna tell you?>
<she put an ointment on me. She said it will disappear in a couple of days> she replied in a bored tone
<Good. I wouldn't want it to be a poisonous insect!> he commented, receiving an angry look from the girl at which he couldn't help but laugh.

<stupid Ray!> she slapped him in the shoulder
<ouch! It was a joke!> he said between laughter <you should have seen yourself. Your checks were all red!>
<stop it!>
<a big and hateful insect ...>
<Ray!>

She wasn't really angry. She just wanted revenge, she didn't want to be the only one to feel uncomfortable.
She wanted the power to make him vulnerable too.

<so that's how you put it huh>
