This story takes place after Lady Midnight. I was not very happy about how Emma and Julian ended, therefore, I am writing my version of what should have happened starting with the end of Lady Midnight and then onto my new story after that. Hope you enjoy! Feedback is welcome! Chapter One:
I was looking at Julian on the beach, he looked so handsome and perfect. How could I break his heart? Breaking his heart would break mine, but, would that really help save our lives. Our emotions run so deep inside us, I don't think I could.
"Emma?", He asks. "What do we need to talk about?", He looked worried. I tried to make out the words, yet, they never came. I walked up to him and just hugged him. I could not live without him. He was my life, my parabatai, and ultimately the love of my life. I felt a tear rush down my face, he put his arms around me, holding onto me like I was the only air he breathed.
"Emma, you are crying. Please tell me what is wrong. I hate seeing you upset.", he said concerned.
"We can't be together." More tears run down my face. "Our love could be the thing that could kill us. I can't live without you. I love you too much." I say surprised I told him out loud.
"What are you talking about Emma? What are you not telling me?", he said.
"I got information that being parabatai from Jem. We could destroy ourselves and everyone we love." I say with a shaky voice. Julian pulled me back and stared at me. He wiped my tears with his thumb and gave a warm smile.
"If that is the only reason we can't be together then why don't we find a way to be together without breaking our hearts?" He smiled.
"But how?" I grab his hands and hold them in mine. "How do we take away being parabatai?" I asked sadly. He looked down at our hands and kissed both of my palms.
"We do what we have always done. We work together and find a way." He declares. "Our love for each other is growing more and more every day. I love you more than life itself. We will find a way to be together. Without you, I would be lost. I am not going to lose you. Not after this. We are in this together." He says with love in his eyes. I look into his eyes, wondering how he can be so positive that we can find a way.
"I put all my faith in you, just as you do me. I don't know how we are going to do this, but, I love you enough to try to find a way." Tears run down my face. Julian pulled me into him and kissed me like it was the last time we would see each other.
"I love you Emma, nothing is going to change that." His eyes shining with hope.
"And I love you, Jules." I say smiling using his nickname.
"Again with the Jules?" He said smiling. I knew he never liked being call that.
"Let's go inside. We have a lot of research to do. And I plan on being with you forever Emma Carstairs." He says. He grabs my hand and pulls me towards the institute. I loved Julian so much. Our future starts when we can find out how to fix the complication that has been brought upon us.
