Chapter 11: Mine
"Daddy, Uncle Eddie is going to rescue Ace-nii-chan, isn't he?"
"Yes." There wasn't even one seconds hesitation with the answer "Whitebeard would never let someone take one of his children without paying a dear price."
"Daddy… Is Uncle Eddie going to be alright?" it was quiet for a moment.
"We can only wait and see."
~O~
That was a few days ago. Emer was currently sitting on the bed in her room. The submarine was making its way under the water towards Marineford. Why was Emer depressed when she was on her way to rescue Ace and Whitebeard? Well, it was simple; she wouldn't fight with her injuries!
She had been able to convince Law to go there, why he agreed was still a mystery. But, she was not allowed to leave her bed. One of the men would bring her food and sometimes Bepo, Shachi or Penguin would come to keep her company. Then again, the bastard who called himself captain only came to clean her wounds and change the bandages.
The nights had been horrible for Emer. She had been having nightmares every night ever since the Slenderman incident. It was probably because Law wasn't sleeping next to her now that she was injured. But still, Emer wished he did. Not only because she didn't have any nightmares when he was there with her, but she also missed the heat from beside her. There was also a small sting in her heart when the thought of Law not wanting to sleep next to her entered her mind.
No! I'm not going to think like a school girl with a crush! I just need to think of another way of getting the nightmares to stop! Yeah, I don't need Law! He can take his unbelievably sexy abs and sleep by himself!
The door opened and Penguin walked in to the room. He had a small smile on his face and the brim of the hat covered his eyes like always.
"Hey Emer-chan, I thought you might like some company."
"Penguin!" perfect! Exactly what I need! "Sleep with me!" it was silent for a moment before a blush crept up on Penguin's cheeks and he had to put his hand over his nose so blood wouldn't drip to the floor.
"W-what?" Penguin asked.
"Sleep with me, now!"
"Emer-chan… No matter have much I want to… It would be wrong…"
"Not like that you pervert!" Emer snapped at him "I need to sleep, but I can't do it if the nightmares keeps me awake!"
"And how would it help if I… slept… with you?"
"Well, when I sleep next to Law I don't have nightmares, I don't know why, it's just like that. So, I thought that maybe by sleeping next to someone else it might also help." Penguin stared at her for a while before he sighed.
"Fine, move over." Emer moved closer to the wall so Penguin could lay down on the bed next to her. She then curled up against him and closed her eyes. It didn't feel as good as when she slept next to Law, but it was good enough.
Penguin had frozen on the spot when Emer curled up against him. He didn't dare to move; after all, it wasn't everyday this happened. Shachi would be so jealous! And Penguin would laugh at his face! But more importantly, there was a hot chick pressed against him! The hatted man had to focus on something else so he wouldn't suffer from a nose bleed.
It didn't take long for Emer to fall asleep. She must have been really tired. So, Penguin being the pervert that he is, took the change to take a closer look at her.
Not only did she have a great body, but her skin looked extremely smooth. She wasn't all girly either, since you could clearly make out the muscles on her. She might be short, but she looked really tough with those said muscles. Her face looked so peaceful that Penguin couldn't help but wrap his arms around her and hug her protectively. Emer buried her face into his chest and gripped his jumpsuit in her hands.
Penguin let out a deep sigh as he closed his eyes. He was getting a bit tired himself after the hard work he had been doing during the day and this seemed like a perfect moment to rest. It didn't take long for the said man to fall asleep like the girl who was pushed against his chest.
~O~
Law let out a sigh as he put down the medical book. It was a book he had already read three times before; about the heart. No matter how many times he read it, he still always came back to it when he was bored. But this time, he wasn't bored. He simply needed something to do while he avoided Emer's room. The only time he would go there was when he cleaned her wounds.
This is ridicules! Law got up from the chair and walked to the door. I really need to talk to her about the war that's taking place right now.
He walked out of his quarters and headed toward Emer's room. A weird feeling build up in his stomach as he got closer and closer. Am I nervous? He let out a frustrated growl as he walked into Emer's room without knocking, as always. But inside the room waited a big surprise.
On the bed laid Emer and Penguin tangled together and in deep sleep. Rage build up in Law as he watched one of his good friends with his possession like that. Right now all that went through Law's mind was to rip Penguin's head off. He stepped closer and was just about to take hold of Penguin's neck so he could throw him to the other side of the room when he saw Emer's fingers twitch.
Law took a closer look at her and realized she was almost crying. It didn't take a genius to figure out that she was having a nightmare. But of course, Law was a genius. He just didn't need to be to understand.
He poked Penguin in the back making him wake up. He looked up at his captain with wide eyes -even if Law couldn't see them- and was just about to explain when Law held up a finger to tell him to be quiet.
"Get up." Law whispered harshly, making the other man almost jump out of the bed. "Now get out, we'll talk about this later." Penguin was quick to get out and close the door behind him, too scared of what his captain might do to him.
Law turned back to look at the girl on the bed. Emer was now shivering and tears were running down her face. Her hands clenched the sheets on the bed as she tried to curl into a ball.
The captain of the Heart pirates sat down on the edge of the bed and caressed Emer's hair. She didn't seem to react to the touch so Law laid down next to her and pulled her against his chest and wrapped his arms around her. Emer was quick to clench his hoodie in her hands and hid her face in his chest. Law held her tightly and closed his eyes.
"You're mine, Emer-ya." He whispered into her ear.
~O~
~Emer~
Fall. It was such a nice season. It wasn't warm, but not cold either. The colors made the landscape so beautiful it was breathtaking. Orange, red, yellow and some green here and there could be seen.
The leaves on the ground made a rustling sound under Emer's feet as she walked through the sparse forest. A cool breeze made the leaves dance together around her. It was so peaceful it made a small smile spread on her lips.
But like always, the good must come to an end. All the colors around her, melted away, leaving only black, gray and brown behind.
"No…" Emer whispered as the smile disappeared from her lips "No more… Please…" she begged even if she knew it was useless. She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment before opening them again, only to find the suit wearing monster in front of her. The headache started almost immediately, but Emer ignored it and gave Slenderman a murderous glare.
The said monster lifted his hands and let the claw on his index finger caress Emer's cheek. She wanted to back away, but didn't dare to do so. Instead she stood perfectly still, never taking her eyes off of the man in front of her. No matter how much her head hurt, she would not look away.
The long claw made its way to Emer's lip and made a cut on the bottom lip, but Emer didn't even blink. She refused to show him any weakness anymore.
The headache was starting to become unbearable, so Emer blinked, but when her eyes opened again Slenderman was gone. She felt someone behind her and was just about to turn around when a hand around her neck stopped her. The hand belonged to her nightmare, but he didn't try to suffocate her. It was more like he tried to just make her hold still.
A sudden pain on her shoulder made her jump. Emer could feel as blood ran down from her shoulder as Slenderman's claw carved something into her skin. Tears started running down her face as she tried so hard to ignore the pain. When the pain stopped, it was quiet, no one moved. That was until she heard a whisper.
"Mine…" and then everything around her exploded. It wasn't dark and cold anymore, but more like a spring weather. The grass was green and the threes had small leafs.
Emer looked around, but Slenderman was gone. Her hand touched her shoulder and she felt a stinging pain. She quickly removed her hand and tried to look at it instead.
"M.I.N.E." Emer paled "He marked me as 'his'?!" she was starting to panic and fell to her knees. "No… NO! This isn't happening!" she started crying and yelling things like 'stop' and 'get away from me'. But a hand on her good shoulder made her stop and look up. Her eyes met with stormy gray ones.
"Emer-ya." Law whispered as he kneeled down in front of her and hugged her tightly.
"Law…" Emer sobbed "Don't let him take me…" she begged.
~O~
~Law~
Law walked out on the street. The whole town was empty, there was no people there. The atmosphere was creepy, like everyone had just been abducted by aliens. He walked around, trying to find someone, but failed. He was just about to give up when he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned around, his eyes met with the oh-so-familiar golden ones.
Emer stood perfectly still a few meters away from him. She looked him deep in the eyes but it felt more like she looked at his soul. She stood with her feet together and hands behind her back, the Irish green summer dress danced around her legs as a breeze passed by.
"Emer-ya." Law whispered as he walked towards her. Something was off. It felt like it wasn't her he was looking at, but someone else.
"Stop." Emer spoke, but she didn't move from her spot. Even if Law hated being ordered around, he did as he was told, stopping only one meter away from her. "Go away." She told him. Law was confused. He didn't understand why she didn't want him near her. But, he didn't move. He stayed where he was and stared at her.
"Emer-ya, what's going on?" Law asked. He didn't get an answer, instead she turned around so she could walk away. That's when Law noticed something new. On her left shoulder was a scar he hadn't seen before. The word 'MINE' were carved into her skin, making Law's eyes widen. They hadn't been there before, and he knew for sure he hadn't done it. That could only mean one thing. Someone had tried to claim his Emer.
Law took hold of Emer's left arm and turned her to face him again. But as he held her hand up in the air, he felt his heart sting. On her ring finger was a golden ring; an engagement ring. The same word was carved into the ring as her shoulder. The word 'MINE' seemed to mock him with the creepy way it was written.
"What is this?" Law hissed as he glared at the ring.
"Let go."
"Emer-ya, who put this on you?"
"Let go!"
"Who touched you?" he growled this time.
"LET GO!" Emer snatched her hand from him before she turned around and ran away from him.
~O~
Law jerked awake from his nightmare. His still felt the sting in his heart and an anger - jealousy maybe? - boiled inside of him. He hugged Emer closer when he realized something was wrong. What's this? Law lifter his right hand away from Emer and looked at it. Blood? His eyes widen and he quickly sat up so he could have a better look at her back. He felt his heart stop beating for a second. That word was carved into her left shoulder. The word 'mine'.
"Emer-ya!" Law shook her, but was careful to not touch her wounds, till she woke up. She looked surprised to see him.
"Law?" she asked as she slowly sat up.
"What happened?"
"What? I don't understand what you mean."
"Your shoulder! What happened?!" Emer's eyes widen and pure horror was written over her face. She turned her head to look down on her shoulder. Law hadn't expected her to react like she did.
"NO!" Emer screamed bloody murder as she put her hands on her ears and shook her head, trying to fight back the tears. "THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!"
"Emer-ya, calm down!" Law took hold of her arms so he could try and calm her down, but that was his mistake. The next thing he knew, he was flying into the subs hall through the metal wall. Let's just say he was lucky it wasn't the wall the lead out to the sea or they would all have died.
"Captain!" some of the crewmembers yelled. Law groaned as he slowly sat up, Shachi was quick to help him.
Emer walked out through the hole Law had created as he was kicked. She had tears running down her face, her right hands finger nails were digging into the flesh where the word had been carved in. She was shaking slightly too, probably from fear.
"Emer-ya, you need to sit down and take a deep breath! The wound on your leg will reopen!"
"NO! JUST MAKE HIM STOP ALREADY! MAKE HIM STOP!" Emer screamed, attracting more and more of the Heart pirates to see what was going on.
"Emer-ya, just calm down!"
"SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!" and with those words, Emer turned to the right and ran; ignoring the pain she felt in her leg.
"Stop her, her wounds will reopen!" Law ordered. The men were quick to block her way, but Emer had a goal to get to and they would not stop her.
"OUT OF MY WAY!" she yelled as she kicked the first man to the wall and then used the curse to make his hand get stuck in the wall with gold. She went on like that till there were no men in the way and then ran again, the stinging pain was once again ignored.
Law fought the dizziness as he got back on his feet without falling. He mentally cursed as he ran after her. He had no idea where she ran off to, but she didn't have many places to go since they were under water. A loud crash from the kitchen made Law run faster. When he ran into the kitchen he found the cook laying unconscious on the floor with his hands glued to the floor with gold. He quickly looked around and spotted Emer in the far end of the room with a knife in her hand.
She lifted the hand up above her left shoulder stab herself so the word would be covered with another scar. She was about to do it again, when a hand stopped her. Law's hand had a tight grip on her wrist, preventing her from digging the knife into her flesh again.
"Let go…" Emer begged with a weak voice as more and more tears ran across her cheeks. Law ignored her begging and took the bloody knife from her, and then threw it at the floor. "Please make him stop…" Emer begged "I'm scared…" she would have fallen to her knees if Law hadn't taken a firm hold of her waist.
Law carefully turned her around so she was facing him and then set her to sit on the floor and kneeled down in front of her. He hugged her tightly and she was quick to wrap her arms around his neck.
"I won't let him touch you." Law whispered. He had already figured out it was Slenderman who was behind this. "He'll never hurt you again." Since you're mine… He hugged her tighter, making Emer groan in pain. Shit! The wound! Law quickly got up and lifted Emer bridal style so he could carry her to the infirmary.
As soon as they got to the infirmary, Law set Emer down on the bed and went to grab some bandages. He started with cleaning the new wound carefully, but Emer still hissed when it stung. The cut wasn't too deep, since she had used a smaller knife, so she wouldn't need any stitches. He then proceeded to bandage it professionally.
"I'm sorry…" Emer whispered just as Law was done with her shoulder. Law tried to look her in the eyes, but she kept her line of sight downwards.
"For what?"
"For being such a burden…"
"You're not a burden." Law answered immediately. He didn't like it when she though like that, not one bit! "Now lay down, I need to check your leg." Emer did as she was told without saying a word.
There was some blood on the bandage, but it didn't seem like the whole wound had opened. When Law took off the said bandage, he was able to see that the wound had reopened just a bit, nothing one stitch couldn't handle.
They stayed quiet as Law worked. Emer just stared up at the ceiling, trying to forget what had happened when she was sleeping. Ever since the incident in the forest many years ago Emer have been scared to be killed by him. But now, she was scared of what would happen if she isn't killed by him. He had marked her as his. Why was that all of a sudden? Didn't he want her dead?
"Emer-ya, are you listening?" the said girl snapped her eyes towards Law. He was speaking?
"What?" Law sighed before he started explaining what he had said just a few seconds ago.
"I said; you're not allowed to put weight on your leg. Also, try to use your arm as little as possible." Emer nodded as she sat up on the bed. She swung her legs over the edge and stared down on her lap. Even when she was looking down she knew Law moved to stand in front of her, but she didn't look up.
Emer jumped slightly when a tattooed hand took a light hold of her chin and pushed her head up so she was staring straight into stormy gray eyes. His expression was unreadable as he stared at her. He was just about to say something when the door flew open. One of the crewmembers stood panting at the door as he tried to catch his breath.
"Captain," he started, obviously not seeing Law was busy "We have reached Marineford."
"Good, I'll be at the control room soon."
"One more thing captain. Why are the other crewmembers glued to the walls and floors with gold?" Law turned to look back at Emer who gave an apologizing smile.
"Let's go." Law sighed as he once again picked up Emer bridal style, only this time Emer blushed. "You better let them go as we pass them by."
"Yes captain."
They walked out from the infirmary and towards the control room. On the way Emer made sure to free the men. And of course, the men didn't miss the blush on her face and giggled at her. But as soon as they got to the control room, everyone became serious. Law set Emer down on one of the chairs in the room but he himself stayed standing.
With the help of a visual den den mushi they were able to watch what was happening above the water on a big screen. The Marineford was in a chaos. Pirates and marines were fighting, Impel Down prisoners were running around, ice surrounded most of Marineford and 'Strawhat' Luffy had fallen to his knees while Ace was on his knees in front of the admiral Akainu.
The Heart pirates couldn't hear what they were saying but suddenly Akainu went to attack Luffy. Ace got up and ran towards Luffy as well; Emer knew exactly what was going on. She put her hand over her eyes, not wanting to see her brother die. The gasps in the room made Emer want to cry.
"Emer-ya, stop it!" Law ordered. What? Is he going to make me watch this?! Emer slowly took her hands away from her face and looked at the screen. Her eyes widen. Ace wasn't dead. Luffy wasn't dead. Instead they stood staring at Akainu who was trying to get rid of a bunch of goblins. Just as Emer started staring at the screen Luffy passed out. Ace was quick to pick him up and ran.
"Take us up." Law ordered. The ones controlling the sub was quick to do as told and the submarine came up from the water. Law, Bepo, Penguin, Shachi and Bart headed out on deck, leaving the others behind. Emer was still in a shock, but then quickly got up from her seat.
"Emer-chan, you aren't supposed to use your leg!" one of the men said.
"Shut it!" she then went after the men, carefully so she wouldn't put much weight on her injured leg. She limped through the halls till she reached the deck.
"I will take him away from here!" Law yelled as he tried to convince Ace to bring Luffy to the ship.
"Why should I trust you?!" Ace yelled back.
"Ace-nii-chan!" Emer yelled, getting almost everyone's attention "Bring Luffy over here! Law's a doctor!"
"Emer?" Ace shocked to say the least "What are you doing here? And what's with those injuries?!"
"Just bring him in here already!" Ace still seemed unsure, but he trusted Emer. Without any other words, Ace got up on the deck and stood in front of Law.
"Submerge!" Law ordered as everyone quickly got into the sub. "Bart, carry her." he pointed at Emer who had disobeyed his order as a doctor. Bart did as told, and Emer knew it was useless to protest.
"So what's with the injuries?" Ace asked again as they rushed to the operating room.
"It's…" Emer trailed off "It's nothing."
"Did that raccoon-face do something to you?"
"Are you really going to call the man who's about to operate on your brother, a raccoon-face Mr. Portgas?" Law asked with a dangerous voice.
"Would you please not fight right now?" Emer begged. The men stayed quiet till they got to the big operating room.
"Get everything ready!" Law ordered his crew "Lay him on the table." he told Ace who did as he was told. "Now you and Emer-ya have to leave the room."
"What?! I'm not leaving!" Ace protested.
"Leave." Law glared at the other man. Ace sighed before he turned to leave the room. But before he did, Bart handed him Emer so he could carry her out.
They walked to the control room -okay, Ace walked-. The only time one of them spoke was when Emer told him when to turn. But when they got to the room they were heading for, their thoughts went blank. On the screen you could see Whitebeard. Dead. Emer's body shook and tears ran down her face. The sub quickly got away from the battle field area, further and further away from Edward Newgate.
"UNCLE EDDIE!"
Done! ^^ hope you liked it and please review!
You all should be happy! Ace didn't die! It would have been way too painful if he did.
And once again: This chapter is a birthday gift to my dear friend Mirre98! ^^ Hope you people liked the perverted Slendy! ;D
