Chapter Twenty-five:
"Spence?" Emma whispered, feeling for the thing touching her head, seeing as the bag over her head kept her from seeing. She could hear coughing and by the feel of it, it was Spencer.
"Emma" Spencer coughed, turning so that their fingers touched. Emma took a deep breath and linked their pinkies.
"Spence, I promise I will get us out of this" They were shaking, the feel of possibly a car underneath and they seemed to be in the back in the truck. They were laying, stuffed in the thing with little air coming in. They were sure to have passed the town by now, or they were going down a very long gravel road. Emma tried to find it but her Phone wasn't on her.
"Damn, Okay, Spence you trust me, right?"
"Of course" He whispered, clasping onto her hand, "why?"
"I need you to do as I say, if I say run, run, I say roll, you roll. Don't ask questions okay" Spencer gulped but agreed as Emma wiggled around but somehow got herself out of the ropes and held his hand and kept his bag on his head but took hers off. The lid was flapping open and shut, letting them have air but she saw where they were, on a long gravel road going up hill. She knew where they meant to stop.
She couldn't let Spencer worry about what would happen or what they meant to do, she just pulled him in and kept the lid steady. She untied his ankles along with hers then pulled his ropes off his arm then the bag.
"Keep your eyes shut" Spencer clutched to her arms as she launched them from the car. The collision with the ground made all the stitches she had left bust open but all Emma was content on was getting out as the two of them rolled down the hill and hit the bottom. They had been stripped to white sheets that covered them. Whoever had kidnapped them hadn't planned on dumping them like Emma thought as she looked to the hill where blood sprinkled the rocks then she looked to her gown as blood began to spill across it and stain it.
"Come on, don't do this to me now" Emma complained, holding her stomach that burned from the blood loss. But Emma didn't have anything under it, she was completely naked under the sheet so she couldn't rip it up to make a quick cover, she would just have to hold onto it and run.
"Spence come on! Run!" She snarled, grabbing him by the arm and running a stumbled run. They were barefoot so at first it was painful to take steps but by the time they had taken a few bounds her foot had gone numb and Spencer never said a word. Emma could feel herself beginning to wobble and her vision was beginning to tunnel, but she kept her eyes open and continued to run as fast as her shaky legs would take her.
"Emma…"
"Spence, just keep… running" She gasped, her body slowly stopped working and she fell to her knees and by this time the car had noticed they were there anymore and headlights were heading towards them.
"Emma, I'm not leaving you"
"RUN DAMNIT!" She shouted, pushing him. At first he didn't move but when she punched him in the back, he stumbled then ran, looking back as Emma gasped for air then got to her feet and ducked into the woods. They would surely stop and look for her because she made it obvious she went in the woods. Besides, it was her they really wanted to sacrifice, not Spencer, he was just a witness.
It was a long shot, but it was the only shot she had because the first person to come into the woods got a smash to the head with her fist then a branch that repittedly slammed into the persons face. He never got to scream.
"Sorry Pastor Harold" Emma gasped for air as she took his jacket and ripped it up to use as a bandage then snuck back to the car. No one seemed to be in it, so she found her way into it and hit the gas pedal, speeding up to where she could see her skinny genius running, barely making it but when he saw the head lights his eyes went wide.
"SPENCE!" She cried, hitting the breaks and leaning on the door, stumbling to get the window all the way down. He saw her then rushed over, seeing the blood spilling over her legs. Obviously there was more than just a scratch left, the doctor hadn't told her the complete story.
"I…I can't move the pedal well but… I can't stand, I… I need you to drive with me in your lap"
Spencer instantly clambered in, sliding under her and closing the door. Skipping the seat belts, Spencer hit the Gas as Emma held onto her stomach and drove as smoothly as she could telling him what to do until something jumped out and they both came to a scretching stop.
"What did we hit?"
"I…I don't know" Emma looked to her stomach, the blood had slowly stopped and was now forming a clot and a scab, thank the lord, but why was she still tunneling and going black.
"I..I have to look" Spencer whispered, Emma couldn't grab him and watched as he slid from her to the hood where he attempted to look on the gravel but there was nothing, nothing he saw.
"what…. What is it?" Emma gasped for air, holding onto the steering wheel as she tried to get out. Her feet slipped out from under her, forcing Spencer to rush over and help her up to her wobbly feet.
"I don't know… but… we have to get you to a hospital"
"Spence… I don't know these roads and the gravel goes for… For miles" Emma panted, clutching to him before looking over her shoulder. Why was this town so weird? The pastor kidnapped them, put them in sheet dresses completely naked, got killed, and… they were lost. Emma was slowly going unconscious from the blood loss and to add to it, she wasn't being much of a Body-guard.
That is until they realized what had jumped out in front of the car, because it crawled out from underneath the car and Emma felt anger through the haze.
"Spence… Get… Get in the car" She snarled, leaning on the door as the figure stood to it's very large height.
"Emma, I can't…"
"Spence, get in the god damn car"
"NUH! NUH GOD INVEIN!" The screech radiated over all the trees, scaring what slumbering birds were in the darkness. The sun was rising behind them and the small warmth hit Emma's back and she knew what was happening. This creature had followed the car, knowing it was taking the victim he was supposed to eat and now he had her because he could smell her blood.
"God…Damn!" Emma snarled, seeing Spencer in the car before slamming the door shut and leaning on the car, one on her stomach as she looked to this thing in front of her. Atleast Spencer had a chance to survive if Emma didn't, that was the whole reason she was a body-guard, right?
"Emma… Get in the car Emma, run like you did before… Be rational" Spencer whimpered, looking around worried.
"But that's the thing… Spence… I'm not…. God damn rational" The figure screamed again, and this time lunged at Emma. At first Emma couldn't move, but she let her knees buckle as it only got a hold of her hair and dragged her back across the ground. Emma, just don't get eaten, the voice that told her not to beat up the priest was back.
Ripping from the creatures grasp, some of her roots were pulled and she found the thing with strips of her hair, her scalp screaming.
"EMMA!"
"SPENCER!" She snarled back, "SHUT UP!" She stumbled back and rested against the trunk of the car, her hand rummaging for a weapon and smiled weakly when she found it, the sun rising even higher and suddenly she realized more of how the creature looked. It's skin was bright white and veins were easily seen, plus it's eyes were red and what shots of hair it had was blond.
"Albino" She gasped for air, no wonder it never struck during the day, it never got the chance. As the sun rose, she saw the thing begin to flinch and try to cover up. It began to get burn welts and it's skin turn red, Emma holding the cro-bar in hand as it happened, Spencer watching in amazement. One last motion, it lunged at Emma who took a hard smashed at it with the cro-bar, watching the object slash into the figure's face and it crumble down into the gravel as the welts got bigger and turn black, it began screaming out loud.
"Spence….Spence…" Emma gasped, her knees completely collapsing as the person/creature/figure went running but only found itself in blunt sunlight and the two watched it fall to it's knees and burn itself alive.
"Albino's… They…They cant handle the sun"
"In severe cases where they aren't treated and never get any vitamin D by the sun, Albino's skin becomes allergic to the sun and it literally burns them alive. That's why he was afraid of the flash-light." Spencer helped Emma to her feet before sliding her in the back and gassing the car until it was low and then the two of them limped into the outskirts of town.
As They walked back in the brightness of the morning, They saw the crowd staring in wonder as Father Dewight went wide eyed staring at them slowly walking towards him.
"How…HOW!" He cried out, dropping his bible, "How did you escape death twice?"
"Death is allergic to the sun" Emma grinned as she pushed off Spencer, with the last bit of energy she stood in front of the Priest and then kneed him hard in the crotch before falling to her butt and panting, then slowly falling out of consciousness. Of course Spencer rushed to her aid and forced someone to call a medic but he was smiling. The same old Emma.
-o-o-
"Now tell us how you got out of the car?" JJ asked sitting across from Emma with an ice-bag on her stomach and Spencer with one on his feet.
"It's… It's not the first time I was tied up and put in the back of a moving vehicle with ropes" Emma laughed before looking to them a sighing. "In training, we all knew that someday, somewhere one of us would be in this situation, for Bodyguards, so they forced us to go through training with different tying methods and how to get out. Just basic training, thankful I wasn't sick that day"
Spencer smiled at Emma who let her head hang back as she sighed.
Father Dewight confessed to everything, saying that he was in the face of a true worker of the devil, not wanting to be corrupted. Emma just laughed and shrugged, who knew, she could be.
"How many times has someone actually tried to kill you?"
"I…Me specifically or me and someone else because me specifically is too much to count" Emma laughed, "And me and someone else, still too much to count" They all laughed before Emma whined and took a deep breath. It hurt to laugh but she was laying her head on Spencer's shoulder and closing her eyes to breathe.
Spencer was reading a book while resting his bare feet on the ice pack while Emma nearly fell asleep on his shoulder, her hand under her shirt to hold the ice-pack directly on the scar that she had gotten. The doctor told her it would go away but Emma didn't care. She had plenty of scars she still had that she didn't mind to have, in fact some she looked at and smiled at all the memories they represented.
Once they had the priest in custody, a few families broke into tears, including Francieen and Mallory's who cried to each other, crying out for their children and begging for the lord to forgive them. Emma spent an hour at the hospital, and figured out that a rock had gotten into her stomach and had ripped open more muscles, but it had fallen out when she bashed Pastor Harold's face in, standing over his body it came out and that's why the bleeding eventually stopped.
Spencer and Emma were in the hospital, getting checked on when the team brought them clothes to change, which of course Spencer couldn't help but stare when he helped Emma pull on her things, seeing as she couldn't bend over just yet.
But the Doctors had congradulated Emma on not subcoming to her bleeding until the last possible moment when she knew they were safe.
That's when a quote came to mind, one her instructors told her.
It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated...it is finished when it surrenders. -Ben Stein

To LoveforPenandDerek- I was watching some of the older episodes and remember Derek calling JJ mommy when he would make fun of JJ coming to peoples rescue and etc So I tried to make this authentic.
Also, I plan on putting quotes at the end of each case like they do in the show, so if you find quotes that fit Emma, like the one I have above that is different, I'd love them. Just put them in a review or message them to me, I don't care. =)
