Take Me or Leave Me
Emma felt her knees shake as she stood their, heart pounding in her chest from desire, confusion and panic at the events that were unfolding. Her hand slowly lifted to her lips where she gently touched the electricity that Shal had left dancing upon their smooth, pink surfaces. Her hand began to shake and she lowered it back to her side, only then did she realize that Shal hadn't left yet. She tried to call out to her but her voice was held in a whirlwind of emotion that had taken control of her entire body. The motorbike started up and sped off, away from Emma, before she had a chance to decide what to do.
"Great.....", she whispered helplessly to herself, still trying to comprehend what had happened, her heart was screaming out for Shalimar, her head told her it hadn't happened, that it had been some kind of day dream on Emma's behalf. She took a few steps forward, stumbling like a blind man who had lost his way, she gazed down the road back towards the town, a tiny image of Shal's motorbike moving ever further away.
"How the fuck do I get back?", Emma demanded outloud suddenly, not sure why she had suddenly said that. She wrapped her arms around herself and sighed, shivering from emotions that tickled her skin ever so gently.
.
Shal's mind was spinning, tumbling around like a tornado within her head, throwing emotions back and forth, ideas bouncing around like springs. Her hands clenched angrily around the handles of her bike and she felt her feral instincts start to flare up inside as the implications of what she had did began to emerge inside her. Her eyes began to flash yellow and she quickly shook her head, trying to force her feelings back inside, at least until she'd found her friends.
It was only then that she realized Harvey's obsession with her had led him to kidnap, torture and maybe even attempt to kill the closest friends she had ever had. Anger shook her body and suddenly anger, hurt, confusion and desperation burst through her body.
In that instance Shal lost control of her bike and it swerved uncontrollable , she tumbled off of it, smashing her head off of the floor but escaping with her life as the bike collided into a nearby tree and exploded into a ball of flames. Embers spat out, setting light to her clothes, she rolled over and crawled backwards, head spinning uncontrollably. She felt darkness start to creep across her eyes and she shook her head, trying to clear her vision but regretting her actions as soon as nausea began to shake her body.
"Oh god....", she mumbled, shaking uncontrollably as her body began to slowly go deathly cold despite the heat of the day, she closed her eyes and tried to sort out her thoughts, tried to force her body into moving but failing miserably. She felt sleep start to take over her body and she let it take control as she gave in to the sudden exhaustion.

Emma slowly walked along the road, having quickly deduced that walking was the only way she was going to get home anytime soon. Her heart and her head were still in conflict over what had happened. Since when had Shalimar liked her? Since when had Shalimar been gay? Since when had a spark lit up inside Emma whenever she thought of her blonde friend? Emma froze at that thought, not sure where it had come from but uncertain if she had meant it. She quickly shook her head and began to walk faster, as if it would somehow help ease her troubled mind from the thoughts which were trying to take control. At that moment there was a loud explosion, Emma jumped into battle stance instinctively and looked around abruptly. Her heart choked when she saw the flames rising from a tree further down the road and there was no longer the glimpse of a motor bike in front of her. Adrenaline suddenly took hold as Emma began to run, no longer in control of her own movements.
After running for what seemed like forever Emma was close enough to see a young blonde woman lying on the floor, not moving. Her speed doubled as she closed in on the unconscious form and she stumbled to her knees beside her friend, tears threatening to spill out.
"Shal!", she called shakily, tears beginning to trickle down her cheeks. She struggled with the urge to shake Shal, knowing that it would do more harm than good but not sure what else to do. She began to search for damage, tears blurring her vision badly and quiet sobs keeping her from talking to Shal. Finding no obvious damage Emma gently caressed Shal's face, fingers running lightly over Shal's smooth skin almost as th9ough she were in awe of her beauty.
"Shal...I love you...you can't leave me...I need you here with me", she whispered, the words tumbling out like a waterfall as she murmured Shalimar's name over and over, not fully in control of her speech. Emma felt something crack across the back of her head and she crumpled forward onto Shalimar, vaguely catching the sound of a voice before she descended into a world of black.
