** Wow sorry guys it has been forever, but I haven't given up. My Internet went out for awhile and I have had a crap load of stuff going on but here is a new chapter and I will try to get one done once or twice a week from now on.**
Emily stirred in bed as her thoughts swirled from the images pt into her head. All she could think of was Edward. The sight of him standing over the dead trainees devouring their guts was terrible. She also remembered the look of excitement Miguel and Michael had as they reached the top.
She threw her head back against the pillow of her bed as she forced herself to stop thinking of the event. Her eyes closed, but she had not fallen asleep, instead she took herself to her yoma companion.
She arrived in the room. It was pitch dark, but there were lights off into the distance. She could see the yoma's eyes glowing in the dark as well.
"To what do I owe this little surprise?" Muttered the yoma.
"I couldn't sleep is all."
"Thinking of that boy no doubt?"
"Yes, but how did you know?"
"We are linked dear. No matter how much you try and separate us we are still one and will always be until the day I take over."
"So....."
"Oh did it just hit you that one day I will be in control? I'm sorry, but it is the truth."
"I don't care, listen how are you able to see into the future?"
"Future? No you have it all wrong I am able to synchronize my energy to the level of other yoma, thus I can almost feel their thoughts and actions."
"What about Edwards?"
"He is almost too hard to read, but yes I can get a reading from him. It is faint, but it is better than fighting blind."
"So you knew he was going to eat that squirrel?"
"Yeah that was funny."
"That was horrible."
"Listen I know you didn't come here to talk about squirrels and my power so what is it?"
The yoma then touched the mirror as a ripple flowed through the mirror and her image changed. She was a blonde warrior with long curls in her hair and a scar that eached from her neck and disappeared into her uniform.
"What's this?" Emily asked.
"My old form. It seems I am able to access it after being with you, but remember I am still a yoma."
"I know..."
"What is it?"
"Edward... he...."
"You can't stop it. Whatever they did to him they did on purpose."
"I know but if I could just find out what they did to him maybe I could reverse it."
"I doubt it but if you hook up with him....."
"Huh? No it's not like that!"
"Sure it isn't. I know your attracted to him. Hell I am too."
"I am not!" Emily blushed as she looked down from the mirror.
"Look when I was in the organization I was able to find someone who worked inside to help me on some missions, maybe you can find a scientist to help you?"
"Huh? You were in the organization?"
"Yes... it seems they have recycled my blood and flesh. Very uncommon."
"So what does that mean? Are you alive again?"
"Only to you, but once we fuse we will be one and eventually one of us will win."
"I don't plan on losing." Said Emily with a smirk.
"Nor do I. Now get some rest." With that the yoma raised an arm and Emily was cast out of the world. She arrived I her bed and soon fell asleep lost in her thoughts.
Edward had lied in his cage all night trying to sleep on the cold floor with blood stains across the ground. The smell of death was strong in his environment and the carcasses of yoma lie around.
Miguel came to him in the morning to let him out.
"Wake up Cannibal."
"I didn't sleep."
"Why not?"
"Restless I guess."
"I see. Well today you are a warrior of our organization. Do not fail us, oh and you are allowed one snack every week, just don't let anyone see you."
"Ok."
"By the way you will be under constant watch so don't try anything funny. If you prove to be a failure we will kill you."
"Yeah yeah." Edward said as he rose to his feet and stretched. He walked out of the cage and grabbed his gear. He put on his uniform and grabbed his massive claymore. He began to walk into the light as he left his abyss of a home.
He was greeted at the steps by two familiar faces, Emily and Jewels.
"Hey you big lug. Where have you been?" Emily teased.
"Asleep."
"Sleepyhead."
"Just gag me now." Jewels said as she turned her head.
"Shut up Jewels." Said Eddie as he walked closer to the door eager to leave. "We leaving guys?"
"Not so fast." Said a high pitch girl's voice.
A small girl turned the corner she looked about thirteen and had long pink hair. She was also wearing a black cloak that covered most of her body. Behind her followed Miguel and Michael.
"Edward, Emily, and Julianna we are to be the ones who watch over you, and this little pink ball of fun is Suzy." Michael pointed as he spoke.
"Shut up Michael or I'll get Edward to throw you through a wall."
"Uh..." Muttered Edward, while Emily and Jewels just stared stupidly.
"I am assigned to you Edward. We will have a lot of fun." She held out a slip and it had the name of a town with a number below it. "This is your first mission, it will be sort of a test to see how you can cope."
"Ok?" Edward said as he took the slip and read it.
"Come on Eddie!" Suzy said as she pulled him from the compound. Edward waved to the two girls as he left. Jewels soon laughed as the young Suzy climbed on his back and made him run to the next location. Emily couldn't help but feel a sense of envy from that small girl and her yoma side sat in amusement and rage as it watched.
