In the hours that passed, Emma and August were continuously abused, Emma had become so numb to everything over the last week. Having no emotion as Simon used her body for his pleasure. But today was hard, after seeing Killian and David she had a glimpse of hope again. Knowing they would never leave her down here and were getting help.
Tears escaped her eyes as Simon whipped her bare chest "Ah!" Emma cried out as the leather cut deep into her breast. "August why don't you try?" Jackie said removing herself from straddling August and untying him from the seat. August shook his head, earning Simon to whip him also "You do as your told! You should know this by now" Simon shouts placing the whip in August's hand.
"It's okay," Emma said giving a little nod, she trusted him. August lightly whipped her, feeling utter guilt, he hoped they would be saved soon. "Harder!" Jackie demands, August hesitated before Simon pulled a gun to Emma's head "Do it! Or she'll die!" August knew he wouldn't do it as Emma was fresh meat but he couldn't take the risk. "I'm sorry," August said with a lump in his throat, he closed his eyes flicking the leather down against Emma's soft skin.
"Ahhh!" Emma screams out, she moved, trying to release her hands from the ropes above "Just like that. Again!" Simon shouts. Emma's tears mix with the blood on the ground as every whip gets harder and harder. Pain nearly overcomes her when a loud bang was heard above. "What the hell!?" Jackie said and before anyone had a chance to reacted the basement door bursts open.
"Sheriff Blake. Put your hands in the air!" The man shouts. Emma and August's eyes widen with a slight bit of relief "Get away Jason! I'll shot her!" Simon shouts "Please Simon, don't do this." Jason states as he moves a little closer "No! Stop!" Simon yells digging the gun into Emma's skull. Time slowed as Jason approached Simon, two gunshots going off.
"Emma!" August yells, luckily being released earlier by Jackie, he leaped toward Emma pushing her out of the way as Simon shot his gun. Leaving a bullet in his head. And the second shot in Simon, fired by Jason killing him in an instant. "AUGUST!" Emma yells as tears continue to fall, "No August! Come back to me!" Emma cries out as August drifts into an eternal sleep.
"You little bitch!" Jackie shouts as her tears now falling, making a run for Simon's gun she points it towards Emma and without hesitation taking the shot, it landing right in her chest. The other office tackles her to the ground as Jason holds Emma in his arms. "Ambulance! Now!" He shouts into his radio "Emma, it's okay stay with me." Emma slowly starts to lose consciousness as the sounds of sirens are heard.
Emma was in surgery and the wait felt like a lifetime "Killian calm down." Jason said taking a seat next to him. He had been fidgeting non-stop as he was unable to pace around like everyone else. "What will happen to her now? Will she be taken away?" Killian asked."Shit! I didn't even think about that, Dad we can't let her go back into the system." David said now worried about losing Emma again, that's if she even survives.
"Boys we will worry about that after she is better, but I promise you both I won't let them take her away." The two boys nod "Emma Booth's family?" A Doctor said coming into the waiting room. Jason and David walked over to him "She is in my care as of now, is she okay?" Jason asked "She is going pretty well coinciding, I can allow only one person to see her at the current time. Jason looks to David giving a nod, telling him to go see her.
"Is she okay!?" Killian yells out from his seat, trying to once again move but being pulled back by Snow and Rudy. "She is okay, maybe you can let the two boys go into together? Seeing as Killian needs some help?" Jason asked. The doctor nods and shows David and Killian to Emma's room.
The two boys walk into the room, a very sore and tired Emma laying in bed, she gives a weak smile when she sees them, holds out a hand out. David helps Killian take a seat beside her so he can hold her hand, then walks to her other side placing a light kiss on her forehead. Killian also gives her a light kiss on her hand, wishing so bad he could stand and give her a proper kiss. "How are your legs?" Emma asks "It's nothing, you're the one I'm worried about," Killian said smiling at her.
"Well I've been better" she shyly said. The 3 friends sat in a comfortable silence for a while. It was already very late and visitor hours were nearly over "I'll come by tomorrow" David said giving her another kiss this time on the check which she returned and he headed home with Jason and Snow. "And I'm sorry Killian, you will need to go back to your room," A nurse said to Killian as he was still a patient at the time. "Can't he stay? I don't want to be alone" Emma pleads with her.
She sighs "Dear I would love too, but he really needs to get into bed and rest those legs." Emma frown, before getting an idea. Her cheeks redden at the thought "It's okay love, I'll come back as soon as I can" He said as the nurse started helping him up. "Can't you begin his bed in here?" The nurse sighs again "Fine" Killian and Emma smile.
Luckily Emma's room was big enough for Killian's bed to be moved in. After the nurse set Killian up they left, leaving the two alone and soon both falling asleep. Halfway through the night, Emma woke to a nightmare and just walked to hold Killian but the beds had been put to far away. Emma got up and began pushing the bed "Ow" she whines from her gunshot wound earning Killian to wake. "Love? What are you doing?" Killian asked rubbing his eyes.
Emma didn't speak, just finished moving the beds before getting back in and cuddling up to Killian's chest making sure not to hurt his legs. "Emma that's not good for your wound," Killian said. "Please just for tonight" Emma begs, Killian gave in and placed a kiss on her forehead "Alright love" then they quickly fell back to sleep never wanting to let go.
