Disclaimer: I own nothing except the characters you don't know about. Emma Gilbert is faced by Leighton Meester and Nicholas Salvatore is faced by Ed Westwick.
Author's Note: So yay! New story and all. I don't think I'm gonna make it an anybody OC but keep Nick and Emma together, it'll be fun to see how that works out.
Thank you: Grapejuice101, MusicalLover17 and Lady Mikaelson for your wonderful reviews on the last chapter. I've decided that I'm keeping Emma with Nick, Damon will be her friend, just like everyone else. Though there will be some complications with her in the future and there will be surprises and stuff from near the end of season 1 up to season 3 and 4.
A Big thanks to Grapejuice101 for her help on this story and the others!
Chapter 3: Friday Night Bites
Emma rolled over on the bed, her hand slapping something hard and it wasn't until she heard the groan that she realised it was Nick. She opened an eye just as her alarm went off and he was staring at her.
"Sorry" She muttered sleepily before sitting up.
Just as she was about to move from the bed, Nick pulled her back down with a grin and rolled over, so he was above her. "Where are you going?" He asked.
"We have to get ready for work" Emma said staring up at him.
"But work is...so boring" He said.
"Nick...come on" She laughed as he began kissing her neck. "Not right now"
"Why not?" He grumbled into her neck.
"Because we have work"
"Work?" he asked pulling away and staring down at her "What's that?"
Emma laughed "Nick-"
"Nope" He said, pressing his lips down to hers, shutting her up.
MYSTIC FALLS HIGH
Emma moved around the classroom after everyone had left, trying to discover where the noise was coming from. She couldn't quite figure out, she sighed and turned to go back to where her desk was but came face to face a young woman with a milky brown coloured skin. Emma took a step back, staring at her in surprise.
"Are you...part of the drama group or something?" She asked her. She'd never seen the girl before but the girl just stared back at her, not moving and not saying anything. "Are you okay?"
"My name is Emily Bennett"
"Bennett? You're related to Bonnie?"
"She's a distant relative"
"Do you want me to get her-"
"No" Emily said "I'm here to see you. I'm surprised you can see me"
"Wha...what do you mean?" Emma asked.
"You're having weird dreams, am I right?" Emily asked, Emma stared at her in surprise. "They're not dreams"
"What...are they?"
"Psychic premonitions" Emily said "You're...a witch"
Emma laughed slightly "I'm not a witch"
"You are, just like Nicholas has family that are vampires"
Emma stared at her, and then laughed again, rubbing her hand over her forehead "None of that exists"
"Of course it does" Emily said "You'll see"
Emma looked away and then back at her, but the young woman was gone and Emma stared wide eyed at the empty space in front of her.
"Oh my god" She said shaking her head. "Kids"
SALVATORE BOARDING HOUSE
Nick entered the Salvatore boarding house, intent on looking for his brother to speak with him only to find himself with Damon.
"Nicholas" Damon said with a grin, "How is my favourite nephew today? How is your perky little girlfriend?"
Nick sighed "She's fine" He said through his teeth.
"It's not a touchy subject, I hope" Damon smirked looking up from the book, Nick just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over. It was then that Stefan entered the room, only to roll his eyes.
"How were try outs? Did you make the team? Very Emerson, the way you reveal your soul with so many... Adjectives" Damon said and Nick watched as Stefan ripped the journal away from Damon's hands.
"What are you doing here?" Stefan demanded, he glanced at Nick who shrugged.
"I've come to apologize. I've been doing some thinking, some soul searching, and... I want us to start over. We need to put the past behind us. You're my little brother, and if you want to live a normal, happy human life, then I want that for you. Maybe I can do it, too. That I can learn to be a non-living living person. Maybe there's hope for both of us" Damon said and, his face quivered before he laughed.
"You know, it doesn't have to be this way, Damon" Stefan said.
"Of course it doesn't. I saw Elena today, BTW. That means "by the way." She was at cheer leading practice. She looked so perky in her little short shorts. Just... simmer down, I didn't even go near her. I've got my own cheerleader now. Ooh, that reminds me... I gotta run. I have a date. Sweaty palms. Wish me luck"
EMMA AND NICK'S HOUSE
"So you're making them dinner?" Nick asked.
"Yeah" Emma said rolling her eyes "Well Elena can't cook, and Jenna's only an ok cook. At least I got my cooking skills from my dad"
Nick laughed and put his arms around Emma's waist. "So you're going to cook dinner and then come home?"
"Uh, no" Emma said shaking her head. "We are going to cook dinner and eat it there"
"Who's all going?" Nick asked.
"Elena, Bonnie, you, me and Stefan"
"Stefan?" Nick choked. Emma looked at him strangely, before rolling her eyes.
"Yeah, apparently Elena and him are dating now...so" Emma shrugged.
"Oh right, yeah...in fact I heard Stefan mention it earlier" He said rubbing a hand over his face.
"You know I met this girl today" Emma said.
"I didn't know you were into that"
Emma heaved a sigh, a smirk playing her lips. "Yeah, did I forget to tell you? I'm lesbian now"
"Can I watch?" Nick asked "You know I'd love to watch"
Emma choked and punched Nick in the arm "Don't be a jackass" She said rolling her eyes.
Nick laughed "This girl you were telling me about"
"Yeah, Emily?" She said shaking her head.
"And what?" Nick asked.
"She told me I was a witch"
"A witch?" Nick asked as he took a seat at the counter on one of the stools.
"Mhm, and that you had family that were vampires" Emma said washing her hands. Nick's eyes widened. "Crazy right?"
She turned to look at him and he swallowed "Yeah, craziest thing I've ever heard" Emma moved over to him and kissed him. "Come on, we better get ready"
"Yeah" Nick said as Emma left the kitchen, his gaze following her. His eyebrows were furrowed in confusion, but his heart swelled slightly. He was lying to her, though he'd never thought he'd need to tell her. But eventually she'd find out and if it was't from him, she'd kill him and probably never talk to him again, and the thought of that hurt him it more than he ever thought it would.
GILBERT HOUSE
Elena, Bonnie, Emma and Nick were in the kitchen in the Gilbert house, Emma was stirring the pasta in a bowl. Apparently it had been the easiest thing Elena had began cooking, almost burning it in the process. Nick was drinking a can from the fridge, listening to the two girls talk.
"You explain it. Last night, I'm watching Nine-o, a commercial breaks come on and I'm like, I bet it's that phone commercial. And sure enough, it's that guy and the girl with the bench, he flies to Paris and he flies back. They take a picture" Bonnie said, and Nick smiled.
"Oh, come on. That commercial's on a constant loop" Elena said.
"Fine. Well, how about this? Today I'm obsessed with numbers. 3 numbers. I keep seeing 8, 14, and 22. How weird is that?" Bonnie asked.
"Very" Emma said, not looking at them. Nick's eyes travelled to her and lingered on her, a smile on his face.
"Maybe we should play the lottery. Have you talked to your Grams?" Elena asked and Nick then looked to her.
"She's just gonna say it's because I'm a witch. I don't want to be a witch. Do you want to be a witch?"
"I don't want to be a witch" Elena said.
"Nobody wants to be a witch" Emma said glancing at her younger sister.
Emma poured the pasta and the sauce into a bowl and put it onto the
"And putting it in a nice bowl isn't fooling anybody" Bonnie said and Emma pursed her lips at her.
"Hush child" Emma said and Bonnie grinned.
"Oh, hey Em?" Elena asked and Emma looked to her.
"What?"
"Can you go upstairs and grab my bag?"
"Can't you do it?" Emma asked.
"Please"
"Ugh" Emma huffed in annoyance as she put the bowl down and left the kitchen just as the bell rang. She went to the door and opened it up. "Hi Stefan, they're in the kitchen"
"Thank you Miss Gilbert"
"Emma" Emma replied as she walked up the stairs.
"Emma" Stefan said with a smile.
He walked into the kitchen only to see that both Bonnie and Elena were bombarding his nephew with questions.
"Okay, okay" Nick said putting his hands up.
"What's going on..." Stefan asked.
"Nick's going to propose to Emma" Elena grinned.
Bonnie gave a small smile as she left the room, Elena sighing before turning back to Nick.
"When?"
"Whenever I get the chance, Elena" Nick sighed, a smile on his face.
"Can't you do it now?"
"What? No..." Nick said shaking his head.
"Why?" Elena asked.
"The moment has to be right" Nick said and Bonnie rolled her eyes as she picked up the bowl.
"I want to be there when it happens" Elena said "All romantic.."
"I'll try my best" Nick said as she left the kitchen leaving just Nick and Stefan. "Stefan"
"Nick" He said with a nod. "You need to be careful around Damon..."
"I know, I know" Nick said rubbing his eyes.
"Especially with Emma...if he gets the chance-"
"I know" Nick said cutting Stefan off. "Can we just...forget about Damon for one night? And worry about this dinner?"
Stefan smiled "Sure"
Elena, Bonnie, Stefan, Emma and Nick were sitting in the dining room. Elena sitting in between Bonnie and Emma, Nick and Stefan.
"Did Tanner give you a hard time today?" Elena asked Stefan with a smile.
"Well, he let me on the team, so I must have done something right" Stefan shrugged, beside Nick.
"You got on the team?" Nick asked and Stefan gave a nod.
"Wow, second Salvatore to ever be on the team. Need to do a lot to be better than me"
Emma scoffed and put a spoon full of pasta into her mouth, Nick glared over at her and she smiled.
"Guys, you should have seen Stefan today. Tyler threw a ball right at him, and..." Elena began.
"Yeah, I heard" Bonnie said looking down, Emma gave her a funny look.
"Why don't you tell Stefan about your family?" Elena said and Emma nudged Bonnie with a smile.
"Um, divorced. No mom. Live with my dad" Bonnie began.
"No, about the witches. Bonnie's family has a lineage of witches. It's really cool" Elena said looking at Stefan.
"Cool isn't the word I'd use"
"Well, it's certainly interesting. I'm not too versed, but I do know that there's a history of Celtic druids that migrated here in the 1800s" Stefan said.
"My family came by way of Salem" Bonnie nodded.
"Really? Salem witches?" Stefan asked, Emma caught Nick smirking as he ate his food and she tilted her head to look at him.
"Yeah" Bonnie nodded.
"I would say that's pretty cool" Stefan nodded.
"Really? Why?" Bonnie asked.
"Salem witches are heroic examples of individualism and nonconformity"
"Yeah, they are" Bonnie nodded.
"How can you, be smarter than Nick, when he's older than you are?" Emma asked and Stefan gave a smile, Nick kicked Emma's leg. "Ow"
That was when the doorbell rang.
" I wonder who that could be" Elena said.
"I'll get it" Emma said getting up and walking to the door, Emma opened the door coming face to face with Caroline and Damon.
"Surprise! Bonnie said you were doing dinner, so we brought dessert" Caroline beamed.
Emma laughed "Caroline, Hi"
"Hope you don't mind" Damon said giving her a smile.
"Not at all" Emma said shaking her head.
"What are you doing here?" A voice asked, Emma turned seeing both Nick and Stefan.
"Waiting for the lovely Emma, to invite me in" Damon smiled.
"Yeah come on-" Emma began.
"No" Nick said quickly grabbing Emma's hand.
"Nick's right, He can't, uh... he can't stay. Can you, Damon?" Stefan said.
" Get in here." Caroline said.
"We're just... finishing up" Stefan said.
"Don't be ridiculous" Emma said "And don't be rude. Damon come on in"
"You have a beautiful home, Emma"
"Not my home any more, but Thank you" Emma said as he walked past her, somewhat giving Nick and Stefan a smug smile, that nobody else caught.
"I cannot believe that Mr. Tanner let you on the team. Tyler must be seething. But good for you. Go for it" Caroline said.
"That's what I always tell him. You have to engage. You can't just sit there and wait for life to come to you. You have to go get it. Like Nicky did" Damon said looking between Nick and Stefan.
"Yeah, Elena wasn't so lucky today. It's only because you missed summer camp. God, I don't know how you're ever going to learn the routines" Caroline said.
" I'll work with her. She'll get it" Bonnie said.
"I guess we can put her in the back" Caroline mused, and Emma rolled her eyes as she fiddled with the back of Nick's shirt.
"You know, you don't seem like the cheerleader type, Elena" Damon said.
"Oh, it's just 'cause her parents died" Caroline said and everybody froze, Emma glared at the blonde who coughed. "Yeah, I mean, she's just totally going through a blah phase. She used to be way more fun. And I say that with complete sensitivity"
"Of course you do" Emma muttered.
"I'm sorry, Emma, Elena. I know what it's like to lose both your parents. In fact, Stefan and I have watched almost every single person we've ever cared about die" Damon said.
"We don't need to get into that right now, Damon" Stefan said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, you know what, you're right, Stef. I'm sorry. The last thing I wanted to do was bring her up. Mmm" Damon said, Nick sighed internally.
A while later, Emma was in the kitchen, putting the dishes away. Like she said she'd do.
"One more" Damon said.
Emma grinned "Life saver" She said with a smile going to take the glass but it fell, luckily Damon caught it.
"Good reflexes" Emma laughed.
" I like you. You know how to laugh. And you make Nicky happy and your little sister...Elena makes Stefan smile, which is something I haven't seen in a very long time"
"When you said "her" you meant...Katherine?" Emma asked putting the last glass away.
" Mm-hmm" Damon hummed.
"Do you mind me asking...how she died?" Emma asked, chewing her lip, turning back to Damon.
"In a fire. Tragic fire" Damon said.
"Was it recent?"
"It seems like it was yesterday" Damon said.
"What was she like?" Elena asked coming into the kitchen with another plate.
"She was beautiful. A lot like you in that department. She was also very complicated and selfish and at times not very kind, but very sexy and seductive" He said. Emma rolled her eyes at Damon's hopeless flirting with her sister.
"Who dated her first?" Emma asked raising an eyebrow.
"Nicely deduced. Ask Stefan. I'm sure his answer differs from mine" Damon said "I think you should quit cheer leading Elena"
"Why do you say that?" Elena asked.
"Oh, I saw you at practice. You looked miserable" Damon said and Emma smiled.
"Miserable is just an ordinary look for our dear Elena" Emma said and Elena hit her arm.
"You saw that?" Elena asked.
"Am I wrong?" Damon asked with a smile.
"I used to love it. It was fun. Things are different this year. Everything that used to matter doesn't any more"
"So don't let it. Quit, move on. Problem solved. Ta-da" Damon said.
"Some things could matter again" Elena said.
"Maybe. But... seems a little unrealistic to me" Damon said.
"I'm sorry" Elena said and both Damon and Emma looked at her "About Katherine. You lost her, too"
Damon, Emma noticed, looked surprised and she smiled slightly before looking at the door when Bonnie arrived.
"Hey. Need some help?" She asked with a smile.
"Sure, why not?" Damon grinned.
In the living room, Nick and Stefan were listening to Caroline.
"Matt tries, but he's just having a really hard time. You have to understand that they were each other's first. You know, like, from the sandbox" She said.
"That's a really nice scarf" Stefan said and Nick looked at it, having noticed it earlier.
"Mm. Thank you, it's new" Caroline grinned.
"Can I see it? I mean, would you mind taking it off?" Stefan asked.
"Oh, I can't" Caroline said.
"Why not?" Nick asked.
"You okay?" Stefan asked.
"Um... All I know is that I can't take it off" Caroline said.
"What are you three kids talking about?" Damon asked, having left the three girls in the kitchen.
"I was just commenting on her scarf" Stefan said, looking at his brother.
"Hmm. Hey, you know, um, Emma, Elena and Bonnie are finishing up the dishes. Why don't you go see if you can help?" Damon said.
"Does it look like I do dishes?" Caroline asked.
" For me?"
"Hmm... I don't think so"
Damon compelled her "Go see if the girls need help in the kitchen"
"You know what? I'm gonna go see if they need some help in the kitchen" Caroline said getting up.
"Great" Damon said with a false smile.
"They are people, Damon. She's not a puppet. She doesn't exist for your amusement, for you to feed on whenever you want to" Stefan said.
"Sure she does. They all do. They're whatever I want them to be. They're mine for the taking" Damon said.
"You're such an ass hole"
"Watch it, Nicky. Might just have to do the same to your girlfriend" Damon smirked and Nick glared at him.
"All right, you've had your fun. You used Caroline, you got to meet Elena, good for you. Now it's time for you to go" Stefan said.
"That's not a problem. Because... I've been invited in, and I'll come back tomorrow night and the following night and I'll do with your little cheerleader whatever I want to do. Because that is what is normal to me" Damon said.
"He's nice, you and Stefan need to leave the guy alone" Emma said crossing her legs.
"L-leave him alone? He's an ass that would do anything for a girls attention" Nick said.
"Oh come on, he's not that bad" Emma said raising her eyebrows.
"Who's your boyfriend here?" Nick asked getting onto the bed.
"I wonder the same thing, sometimes" Emma grinned.
Nick made a face at her before pinning her to the bed. "Shut up"
"Or what" She laughed.
"I'll marry you" He said.
"Oh, the torture" Emma said feigning a horror struck face. Nick kissed her and Emma closed her eyes before running her hands through Nick's hair. His hands travelled down her sides and Emma smirked, opening her eyes but what she came face to face with wasn't Nick. Instead it was Damon.
Emma gasped, and sat up on the bed looking beside her to see that Nick was completely unconscious and she rubbed a hand over her face before lying back on the bed and cuddling up to him.
Emma was heading down the stairs, pushing her hair out of her face when she tripped and fell forward, luckily enough though Nick had just walked in the door as she fell forward and he caught her.
"Be careful" He said as he helped her stand.
"Yes, dad" She said giving him a dirty look.
He laughed slightly as she patted down her shirt before Nick smiled at her. "I've got something for you"
"It's not my birthday yet" She said raising an eyebrow.
"Can't a boyfriend...just get his girlfriend something for the sake of it?" He asked.
"I guess so" She shrugged. He rolled his eyes and pulled out a small box, opening it up revealing a golden key locket necklace.
"Wow..it's beautiful" She said.
"Just like you" Nick said taking it out and Emma's cheeks flushed, Nick grinned at her.
"What's that smell I like it"
"It's a herb, this necklace was my mothers" Nick said.
"Nick.."
"No come on, I want to give it to you" He said with a small smile and he turned her around, moving her hair out of the way. After he put the necklace on his hands lingered at the back of her neck, causing Emma to shiver at his touch. "I love you"
Emma smiled and leaned into him" I love you too"
As everyone stood around tailgating the team, Emma stood by Elena, her eyes travelling around for Nick.
"Wait, wait, wait, Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Wait. Let's be honest here. In the past, we used to let other teams come into our town and roll right over us!" The crowd booed and Emma laughed. "But that is about to change, We've got some great new talent tonight starting on the offense, and I'm gonna tell you right now, it has been a long time since I have seen a kid like this with hands like these. Let's give it up for Stefan Salvatore!
" Is that Jeremy?" A voice stuck out, and Emma turned her head to see Tyler.
"Wait, no! Ty! No." Vicki Donovan cried in.
Oh, what do you care? Don't look so down. You can have her when I'm done" Tyler said and Emma's eyes narrowed as she rushed over.
Jeremy struck Tyler, and Emma went to grab him.
"Tyler, stop it! Tyler! Tyler, stop! Stop it! Stop, you're hurting him! Tyler! Tyler, stop! Tyler! Stop it! Tyler, stop!" Vicki cried.
"Tyler enough!" Emma snapped.
"Hey, he's down! Enough!" Stefan said grabbing, Tyler's wrist.
Tyler punched Stefan, who didn't look phased by it and Tyler's eyes widened.
Jeremy grabbed a broken glass bottle and flew at Tyler, who moved out of the way and he cut Emma's wrist as she put her arm up, but as Jeremy moved the glass also caught Stefan's hand.
"Jeremy, no!" Elena cried.
"Tyler, knock it off! Stop!"
Emma's arm was bleeding, and so was Stefan's hand.
"What the hell, Jeremy? Put your head up, you're bleeding" Elena said, as Emma moved beside him.
"I'm fine!" Jeremy snapped.
"Yeah, you smell fine" Emma snapped back at him.
"Just stop, ok?"
"Come on, man. Come on" Matt said, as Jeremy pulled away.
"Your arm Emma"
"I'm fine" Emma nodded.
"Oh, my God, your hand" Elena said and Emma looked at Stefan.
"No, no, no, it's fine" Stefan nodded.
"Is it deep? How bad is it? Come on!" Elena said and she grabbed his hand, opening his palm to see that there was nothing there. "But... I saw it, it was.."
"He missed. It's not my blood. See? I'm fine" Stefan said.
"No, no, no. I... I saw it. The glass cut your hand. It was..."
"I seen it too" Emma said chewing her lip.
"It's ok. I'm ok. It's almost kick-off time, all right? So, um, I'll, uh, I'll see you after the game." Stefan said "You should get that checked out"
"Yeah I probably should" Emma said patting Elena's shoulder and she headed towards her and Nick's car. She opened it up looking for the first aid kit, not being able to find it so she closed the door over and pulled out her phone, turning and bumping into someone.
"Oh my god! What are you doing?" Emma asked, when she realized it was Damon.
"I'm hiding from Caroline" He said.
"Right"
"I needed a break. She talks more than I can listen"
"I'm sure the signs were there, when you first met her" Emma said.
"Well, she's awfully young"
"She's not...much younger than you"
"I don't see it going anywhere in the bigger picture. I think she'd drive me crazy" Damon said.
"Caroline is annoying...but I've known her since I was a kid...she's been my sisters best friend since she was a child...that means something" Emma said.
" Duly noted. I'm sorry if I make you uncomfortable. That's not my intention"
"We both know that it is, actually. Your intention is to make me uncomfortable and you can stop"
"You're right. I do have other intentions, but so do you"
"Oh, please do share"
"Mm-hmm. I see 'em. You want me" Damon said.
"In your dreams"
"I get to you. You find yourself drawn to me. You think about me even when you don't want to think about me. I bet you even dreamed about me. And right now... You want to kiss me" He said and he leaned in, Emma shook herself and narrowed her eyes, raising her fist and punching him in the face.
"I am not a toy and I don't know who you think you are, but you can go straight to hell Damon. He's your family! But he's mine too, and I love him" She said before she stormed past him, unknown to her that she's already pressed the call button on her phone, leaving Nick to hear everything.
Nick made his way around, just as he stopped he came across Stefan, talking to Matt.
"No excuse" Matt held out his hand "Good luck tonight. We're lucky to have you" And with that Matt walked off.
"Stefan" Nick called, and Stefan turned to see him just before he got to talk, clapping stopped him and the two turned to see Damon.
"Isn't that nice? Stefan joins a team, makes a friend. It's all so, "rah, rah, go team, yeah!"" Damon said, Nick's eyes were filled with a burning hatred.
"Not tonight. I'm done with you" Stefan said.
"Stay away from Emma" Nick snapped and Damon tilted his head, Stefan glanced at Nick and then back at Damon. "Just leave her the hell alone. She doesn't need to be involved in any of this"
"Of course she does. She's dating you. You're a Salvatore. She's practically family" Damon smirked.
"You're a dick" Nick said.
"Nice trick with Elena and little Emma" Damon said ignoring Nick's comment "Let me guess... vervain in the necklace? I admit, I was a bit surprised. It's been a while since anyone could resist my compulsion. Where'd you get it?"
"Does it matter?" Stefan asked.
"Guess I could just seduce them the old-fashioned way. Or I could just... eat them" Damon said.
"No. You're not gonna hurt them, Damon" Stefan said, as Nick's fists clenched.
"No?"
"Because deep down inside, there is a part of you that feels for them. I was worried that you had no humanity left inside of you, that you may have actually become the monster that you pretend to be"
"Who's pretending?"
"Kill one of us" Nick said.
"Well, I'm... I'm tempted" Damon said.
"No, you're not. You've had lifetimes to do it, and yet, here I am. I'm still alive. And there you are. You're still haunting me. After 145 years. Katherine is dead. And you hate me because you loved her, and you torture me because you still do. And that, my brother, is your humanity"
"Salvatore! What the hell? We've got a game to play"
"If that's my humanity... then what's this?" Damon asked.
Damon ran at Tanner, ripping into his neck.
"Aah!" Tanner screamed out.
"No!" Nick and Stefan shouted. Damon let Tanner go and he fell to the ground, dead.
" Anyone, any time, any place" Damon said.
Nick stopped the car outside the house, Emma kept her face blank and emotionless and he turned to look at her.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah" She said nodding.
"You sure?"
"I'm fine"
"Listen we don't need to talk about Damon if you don't want too"
"He tried to kiss me, you were right. He's a jack ass" Emma said turning to look at him. "Not only that but Tanner is dead...how the hell did a mountain lion get anywhere near him?"
"I don't know" Nick sighed.
Emma leaned over and let her head rest on his shoulder. "What's happening to this town, Nick?"
"I don't know, baby" He said and he kissed the top of her head. "Come on, we'll get inside"
Emma nodded, and the two got out of the car, heading towards the house, unaware of the crow sitting on top of the car.
