A/N: Hi guys. There aren't a lot of amulet stories and that kind of upsets me because it is a good series. Yes, I will admit I only got obsessed with it after book #3, but it is amazing and it has beautiful art and story line. Anyway this one shot happens in book #5 when Trellis saves Emily and himself from the void, and what happened after between him and Emily. Yes I am a Tremily shipper but there isn't going to be a lot of romance in this story, kind of just friendship and beginning of a crush kind of thing. Anyhow here it goes.
Trellis POV-
"What if that's part of his plan?" I asked Emily, but she didn't have time to answer because we saw Navin and Alyson landing near us. I watched as Emily ran over to Navin and hug him; they were both close to crying. I smiled a little at the scene; it should be nice to be close to your family like that. My thoughts were interrupted by Vigo coming to me and patting me on the shoulder; which I winced at because I was wounded and didn't get bandaged yet. "You did good Trellis. But I hope that now you know to never use that kind of magic ever again." I looked up at him and nodded, not exactly making eye contact since I felt guilty about not listening to them and going behind there backs.
I looked back up to see Enzo land with the Luna Moth. We all got aboard and started heading back to Cielis. I went to get my wounds tended by Rico. When he was done and left, I sat there on the bed and thought about what Virgil told me. "Remember that you come from a good family. And that the short comings of my generation do not have to extend on to yours. Make us proud, Trellis." I didn't know exactly what he meant, but I'll let it go for now.
I decided to go for a walk but right when I opened the door, Emily was there, her back to me, and was leaning against the railing of the ship. I was planning to just walk away but for some reason I went next to her and leaned against the railing too, looking out into the distance of where we were about thirty minutes ago. Neither one of us was talking, usually these situations would be awkward but for some reason this silence was actually kind of comfortable. But then I decided to ask Emily the question I asked before again. "What if that's part of his plan?" She didn't answer but looked at me straight in the eyes; I felt my cheeks grow hot when I looked back into hers, which never happened before, what the heck? She then sighed and answered. "Then we'll have to ruin his plan and show him that were much stronger than him." I was a little confused. "How are we going to show him were stronger than him?" She looked back into the distance; her red hair framing her face a little. She looked cute; wait what? Why are my cheeks getting hotter?
"We have to get along better. To show him that we can work together and that he isn't able to stop that." She turned back to me and raised an eyebrow. "Why are your cheeks super red?" She asked. Red cheeks? Why does my chest feel weird? "Uh…um…. I… I don't know…. I guess…. I guess it's the painkillers Rico gave me." I answered and turned away so she wouldn't see my face that was getting hotter by the second. When I felt my face cool down I turned back to see her leaning against the railing again, I did the same.
A couple of minutes later she asked me a question. "Do you think Max is a walking corpse like your dad?" I looked back at her; to be honest I didn't think about it much. "Well, I don't think so. Since Max technically gave himself up to the stone, and my dad probably got killed by it; which explains why he wouldn't hesitate to kill me. But Max still seems to have his own personality and feelings; the stone is probably just controlling him and keeping him alive." I explained; even though I wasn't to sure if it made sense. I heard Emily shudder next to me. I looked at her, her face looked paler and she looked terrified. "You alright?" I asked nudging her to get her attention back. She didn't look at me but she started explaining. "I'm just so scared that the stone will end up taking me like Max. It almost happened before when we were battling Luger a couple of months ago. What if it happens again?" She said with shaky breaths.
I felt so bad for her; she was still a little new to this and just learned that the stone lied to her. She put her head in her hands and shut her eyes; probably trying to get the thought out of her mind. I looked back to the mountains in the distance and started talking to her. "Look, I'm not saying that the stone won't do that but if it does I'll be there to protect you. I won't let it take you. But I doubt that it will take over you, you're to strong for it." I felt my entire face grow hotter with every word I said. Emily looked up at me, she still looked a little scared but she relaxed and smiled at me. "Thanks Trellis, it makes me feel better to know that you'll be there to protect me." She said. I could've sworn I saw her cheeks go a little red but I couldn't really tell because I looked away to try and cool down again. What is going on?
We didn't say anything after that we just looked at the fields and the mountains beneath us. "Thanks for coming back to get me." Emily said to me. "Let's just say we're even." I said back.
A/N: What did you guys think? Sorry it's kind of short but it's all I've got. I just thought a cute little scene would've been cute in the 5th book (but really there was a lot of Tremily so that's why it's one of my favourites). If you guys want me to write more please review and tell me what you would like me to write. And people don't be shy, if you love amulet write a story and post it, don't be scared. Any way thanks for reading. (Oh and just another quick note, if some of the readers are also readers of my other story *Secrets* for Hotel Transylvania, NEXT CHAPTER IS COMING SOON :)!)
