Chapter 4: Kid's POV

Bella had just gotten out of the car leaving Emily and I alone. I turned to ask her where too when her phone rang.

Once , twice, three times after the forth ring she looked down to check the caller. Sneering in discust she threw her phone towards the back seat.

" So where to?" Emily asked faking a smile. "What's wrong?" I asked turning her to face me. Sighing she turned towards the window not eagar to respond.

It had just started raining and dirty puddles littered the streets. "Tell me." I tried again starting to worry even more.

"It's a long story and I don't feel like story telling right now." She whimpered. "Look, were dating now (I think) and I want to know whats wrong." I begged.

After a long awkward pause she responded. "It… it was my mother. The last time I talked to her she left my father and I two years ago. When she heard I wanted to go to DWMA she left, just like that. She insisted killing my own kind was sick and cruel." She explained quietly.

Her kind? "we don't kill miesters at DWMA." I whispered. Her eyes met mine, pleading for me to understand.

"I k-know. You see… my- my mom she's… well she's not… a mister." She studdered. "kid, my mother's a witch." I felt my mouth fly open as I struggled to comprehend what I just heard.

"a a witch? That means you're … YOU'RE PART WITCH?!"I found myself announcing louder than anticipated. Suddenly her tears started to pour as she threw the car door open.

"I knew you wouldn't understand! Why do i even waste my time!" Emily screamed over her shoulder as she started down the street. I put the car and gear and slowly trailed behind her

"Emily, come on please get in the car." I called rolling down the window. Emily cried out something inaudible before stoping abruptly in her tracks and waving her hands hypnotically.

"Matches matches , all the same, leave nothing but open flame!" She chanted before being engulfed in flames. When the flames disappeared the only thing that remained was the charred earth where she once stood.

Emily's POV

I thanked Lord death Kid hadn't gotten out to investigate considering that the last time I used my magic I was 9 years old; That little party trick had only been good for transporting me 3feet into the nearest alley.

On my neck laid a small silver locket , the key to me calming down. Carefully struggling with the tiny clasp I pulled it off my neck.

Tossing the locket high in the air I uttered 2 words I vowed never to say again. "Contact Family." I whispered watching it fall.

If it hit the ground my call was rejected if it hovered though, there was hope. I was now seated on the ground.

The cold , hard cement somewhat refreshing against my bare legs. Suddenly my necklace stopped rattling and expanded ,the small heart .enlarging to the size of a plasma screen.

Seconds later a very UN-amused woman appeared on the screen, her hair was long and sapphire in color. "What do you wa-" She growled when her eyes widened in recognition.

"Emi? Is – is that really you? I'm so glad you kept the transmitter!" She leaned closer to the screen. Her eyes softened when she saw my current condition.

"J-Jen." I sobbed. "You need to come over! preferably now"

"Sweetie, I cant, your in Death city right now. I'm a witch. Understand?" Jen sighed searching for words.

" Soul protect." I cried

"soul protect wont work on a witch of my caliber. Your mother's here and I know you don't want a run in with her. I love you munchkin face." Jen told me as her imaged flickered black.

My necklace still hung in the air a taunting reminder of what little family I had left.I felt my heart sink, leaning back I sobbed quietly in my hands.

The rain had picked up and now I was getting soaked. I was getting cold and tired but didn't feel like leaving.

Suddenly when I was just about to freeze to death I felt something placed over my shoulders. Prying open one eye I examed the dark figure looming over me.

Suddenly Kid slumped down beside me , "I didn't mean to offend you." He whispered to me.

"forget it." I grumbled inaudibly. I pulled his jacket close and scooted closer.

"ive looked everywhere for you, Emily I want you to know im not here to sell you out, im not here to take your soul im here for you." He coaxed pulling me even closer.

Gently he placed his hands under my chin using his thumbs to wipe away tears. " we WILL get through this together." He mumbled gently touching his lips to mine when suddenly...

*BUZZ* *BUZZ* I felt my necklace rise as Kid shot me a quizzical glance. Swiftly I threw my necklace up to accept the call.

"Jen really im ok now." I explained letting the warmth from Kid comfort me. "who the hell is he? And does he have an older brother?" My sister chuckled flicking her head to Kid.
