I'm A Myth -- On hold

Chapter Seven

Emma sat with her back to the the door of the car, so she could see all of the men. She glared at them, waiting for them to make a move.

Ethan sat in the back with her, Daniel drove and the other man from the diner (who had been introduced as Simon) sat up front silently. Emma's eyes flicked between each man and the road. Watching everything.

"Calm down, we're not gonna hurt you" Ethan laughed. "But you're gonna kill someone with that glare"

"This is called the " I don't trust y'all" glare."Emma said "and you can't deny that is well deserved."

"True, but staring is rude" Ethan quipped, a crooked smile on his face.

"Who ever told y'all I was polite?" Emma asked sarcastically.

"She did" Ethan said, nodding his head towards the house they had pulled up to.

Emma looked out the window to see none other than the very house she had left this morning.

Ms.Eldridge?

"If y'all have hurt her...." Emma warned, her voice darkening.

"Nobody's been hurt" Ethan, trying to calm her. "I promise, just wait and you'll understand."

"No one ever said I was patient either." Emma snarled

Daniel pulled the car in next to the other three cars in front of her landlady's house.

Emma jumped out of the car, slamming the door hard behind her. Stomping across the crabgrass lawn for the second time that morning.

Ms. Eldridge came out on the deck, a warm smile cracking her wizened face.

"There you are dear," she said "I was worried about you. You ran off this morning before I had a chance to stop you."

"What is going on?" Emma asked, hey voice strained with tension.

"Well, I have something to tell you, or show you. Or both. I hope this won't freak you out, it shouldn't considering what you are and all."

"What is-" Emma's voice trailed off as the older woman's began to change, shift. Grow younger, it's features melding and changing.

Emma let out a yelp, as she took a step backward.

Standing in front of her was a younger woman, maybe in her mid thirties, flaming blue eyes and straight blonde hair.

"Who are you?! And what have you done with my landlady?" Emma asked, bewildered.

"It's me Emma, I'm a formshifter not unlike you being a shapeshifter. I've been watching over you for the last year now. We've been watching over you. We had to make sure you weren't with them."

"This whole time, you've known what I am?" Emma asked, the pain of being alone for so long throbbing in her heart. "Who are "them" and what's so bad about them that the one person I've trusted since I was six had to lie to me?"

"My dear, I'm so sorry. I never meant to hurt you-"

"Stop!" Emma shouted.

"Will someone please just tell me what's going on?" She said pleading

Daniel walked up behind her, placing his hand on her shoulder. Emma would have shaken it off, but the events of the last three days seemed to crush her all at once. Leaving her weak, too weak to shrug him off.

"Come inside" he said "we have much to talk about"

Emma looked behind her at Ethan, who was watching her. Concern filling his eyes. He gave her a reassuring grin as she followed Daniel.

They walked into the familiar house, Daniel steering her towards the living room

"Please, sit." He said.

Emma sat, looking up at him with tired eyes.

Daniel sat down, watching her for a few seconds before saying "Now, there is much I have to tell you. Our history is a very long story. So I must ask you to save any and all questions till the end. And whether you believe me or not is up to you, I don't do this for fun, and I'm not here to convince you, but to lay the facts out."

Emma nodded, waiting for him to start.

"Well lets start at the beginning." He said " We are the Myths"
