Chapter 37

Here's chapter 37 I hope you like it :) thank you for your reviews I really appreciate them. I don't own anything (except Emma), enjoy.

SelenesLegacy – I took your advice onboard and completely forgot about it. Later that day it suddenly just hit me out of no where and I have a plan for the next few chapters so thank you so much :) xx

Emma woke up to the sound of sizzling and the smell of eggs. She stretched and sat up, Scabior was no where to be seen. This was quite normal he usually gets up before her. She got changed into a pair of tight black jeans and a grey tank top. Her hair didn't look that bad this morning so she left it down and she washed her face.

After she had finished in the bathroom she yawned and walked outside. Theo, Louie and Zane were sitting around the fire cooking eggs, still Scabior was no where to be seen. She grunted, being around them without Scabior was extremely awkward. She took a deep breath and sat down near the fire.

They all looked at her, Emma felt extremely uncomfortable and tried to loosen the tension. "So err where is Scabior?" Emma asked. Louie went back to cleaning the plates, Theo went back to frying the eggs as Zane went back to picking the black nail varnish off of his fingers.

Silence.

"Well?" Emma asked. "I've told you before when are you ever going to get it into your pretty little head, we are not allowed to talk to you!" Theo spat."But why?" Emma persisted. She needed to know.

Theo lost his temper. "Because your Scabior's toy! We've seen loads of people like you. He'll play with you for a while you might even last a month or two but soon Scabior will get bored with you and you'll end up pushing up daises." He shouted.

"T-that's not true." Emma said in disbelief. "Oh no of course it isn't." Theo replied sarcasm plastered across his face. "You keep telling yourself that girl." He laughed.

Just then two loud cracks sounded. Scabior and another man walked towards them. "Oh emma glad your up. This is Ezra, Ezra this is Theo, Louie and Zane. And this is Emma; I will talk to you about her later." Scabior quietened his voice for the last sentence.

"He's the newest recruit and we will need to do the usual tests but we will do that later for the moment I'm starving." Scabior smiled and sat down next to Emma. She smiled back, deciding to put the conversation she had just had with Theo behind her.

"Boys I am trusting you to do a decent day of work today. I am going to be with Ezra and emma." Emma lifted her head up from her plate of eggs. "What?" Emma questioned. "Oh I was wondering if you could do me a favour."

"Go on." Emma replied. "Can you help me test Ezra today love? You might have to do a bit of running." Scabior answered. "Sure anything's better than staying here all day waiting for you to return." Emma smiled. "What did he mean by running?"

After everyone had finished their breakfast Scabior gave Louie, Theo and Zane their list of names and they disapparated, leaving Scabior, Ezra and Emma. "Right Umbrigde told me that you were very good but I don't always trust what that old hag says so I just want to see how fast you can run."

They walked for around five minutes to the top of a steep hill. "Emma here is where I want your help. I need you to run as fast as you can down that hill. Do what ever you can to get away from Ezra. Understand?" Scabior asked.

"Yeah." Emma replied, jumping up and down to get some adrenaline pumping. "Ezra I want you to snatch her as quickly as possible and when you do don't do anything until I get there. We will talk about what happens next when we get down there, got it?"

"Yeah." Ezra's voice sounded raspy and harsh, nothing like his small and skinny physique. Emma put this thought to the back of her head though when Scabior shouted at her to go. Emma bolted down the hill.

For a brief moment she completely forgot where she was. The wind hitting her skin and running though her hair made her feel free. She loved the thought of it. But she quickly remembered where she was when she heard fast footsteps behind her.

Emma sprinted down the hill avoiding tree stumps and jumping over fallen branches. Suddenly the footsteps behind her stopped. She looked around to see where he had gone when she hit something hard. Ezra had disapparated and apparated again right in front of her. Emma was slammed against a tree and being held down faster than you could say s***.

Emma opened her eyes and saw some big yellow ones staring into her soul. Emma tried to release herself from his grip. He was panting into her face and he slightly scared her a bit.

"Good work Ezra! I've never seen anyone faster than that, well apart from me of course." Scabior smirked. Ezra let go of Emma and she relaxed a little. "Oh I think you have boss." Ezra smiled. Emma finally had time to catch her breath as for the last minute she had held it in.

"Well you have passed that with flying colours just one more test. You have asked for her name and she won't give it to you, what do you do?" Scabior asked. Ezra whipped out a knife and held it at Emma's throat. Scabior flinched and tightened the grip on his wand.

"Give me your f***ing name or you will wish that you were never born!" Ezra spat. Emma was petrified even if this was just a practise. "Emma Jones." She shouted. Ezra lowered the knife and put it back into his pocket.

"Err nice work. Just out of interest what would you have done if she didn't give you her name?" Scabior asked. "I would have slit their throat." Ezra smirked.

"Well good job you're on the team. Now I only have a few rules." Scabior began. They started to make their way back to camp. "First, I am the boss whatever I say, goes no questions asked. Second, Emma is mine. Don't talk to her and don't even think about touching her or I will curse your arse to oblivion. Go it?" Scabior asked.

"Yeah of course." Ezra agreed. Emma rolled her eyes. "I don't understand why I can't talk to him. Well I don't really want to. He's weird I swear I have seen him somewhere before. It's just something about him." Emma kept her thoughts to herself as they walked back to camp.

So there you go. I hope you liked it. Please review and tell me what you think. Thank you for reading :)
