I do plan on having them go on a big group vampire hunt soon! And that's a good idea I should bring in their old interests!

Matt wanted us to hit the road again and start heading to our next destination, but with Emma we had more people than we had seats.

"We can make it work," Jeremy argued. "We aren't leaving her behind."

Emma watched the discussion quietly. Confrontation really made her go back inside her shell.

"Jeremy the point was to get her out of that mess," Matt said. "Which we did so she is free to go."

"What if she doesn't want to go though?" I asked.

"Well," Matt thought. "If she doesn't want to then I can't force her out. But Emma, if you're staying then you need to let us heal that leg with magic. Injured people are no good in fights."

Emma nodded obediently. She probably didn't want to go fighting vampires with us, she probably just wanted to stay around semi-familiar faces.

Tori and Simon healed her leg together, it was broken in several places. In the process, the magic healed up all her cuts and bruises. Emma's cut by her eye faded away into a thin almost unnoticeable scar.

Quick switch to Jeremy's POV to give you guys a more detailed description of what Emma looks like.

Something felt warm in my heart when I looked at Emma all healed up. Her hazel eyes stood out brilliantly against her blackish brown curly hair. They locked away her pain behind hazel stained glass.

She was thin from lack of food and being able to move over however long she had been prisoner. But she could gain that muscle back in no time now that she was free.

Emma's fingernails were cut as short as possible. To the point that it looked painful. The vampires must have tried to prevent her from having wolf claws.

My gaze lifted back to her eyes again. They were simply mesmerizing for reasons I simply couldn't explain.

Back to Chloe's POV

I wondered how we still planned on doing this seating arrangement. With Emma not having a cast anymore, she didn't take up as much room. But she still would take up a seat. That we did not have.

"Figure it out while I check us out," Matt said and stepped out of the room.

We all looked around waiting for someone to have a brilliant idea.

"Someone is just going to have to suck it up and sit on someone else's lap," Kyle said. "That's really our only solution here. Besides getting a second car."

"We don't have the money for a second car," Liz said.

"Who's it going to be then?" Kyle asked.

Immediately I thought me, I could sit on Derek's lap. That was nothing new. But I was the smallest person here, I took up barely any room. Would me moving be enough? I wasn't sure.

"Liz and I could alternate," Tori suggested after the moment of silence. "How far of a drive could it be?"

We all agreed with Tori's volunteering and grabbed our things. Meeting Matt down at the car a few minutes later. Matt opened the trunk and we dropped our bags in. Matt, myself, Derek, and Kyle sat up front. Everyone else sat in the back. Emma sat against the window with Jeremy beside her. He thought that having only one person beside her would make her feel more at ease.

As we pulled out onto the road, Tori asked the question on all of our minds since her comment.

"How long of a drive will it be?" She asked.

"I picked up an old contact two hours from here. They've got a local nest that is getting out of control. No vampire hunters want to take it on because of how irrational these vampires have been. They kill day and night, I don't know how they haven't exposed the supernatural world yet. Humans must be chalking it up to serial killers again."

Two hours, that wasn't too bad. But a huge nest, that was bad. I wasn't sure if we were up for a challenge like that yet but Matt must think we are. I glanced back at Emma, wondering if we should tell Matt about what happened or not. He probably should know that she had some vampire in her. But he might kill her.

Short Time Skip

We only stopped once halfway through the drive for Tori and Liz to switch places. I struggled keeping my eyes open and eventually fell asleep on the drive.

Derek woke me up when we arrived at a farmhouse.

"Where are we?" I said, expecting to see a motel.

"Safe house," Derek said. "Come on."

I got out with everyone else and looked around, it was a nicely kept farmhouse on maybe an acre of yard.

"There's no other cars," Simon pointed out.

"A groundskeeper comes by once a week or so. No one lives here full time," Matt said. There was the tinniest hint of annoyance in his voice. I wondered if he was still mad at Simon for accidentally hurting me.

We grabbed our bags from the trunk and went inside, the door was unlocked. Emma followed us but hung towards the back of the group. Crowds must make her a little uncomfortable still. I hung back to talk to her by the front door.

"You feeling okay?" I asked.

Emma nodded.

"Are you saying that because you think that's what I want to hear?" I asked.

Emma nodded again.

"How are you really feeling?" I asked her.

Emma glanced over at Simon who was exploring the kitchen for food. The house had a very open floor plan. You could see the kitchen living room and the hall to the bedrooms all from the front door.

"He's scary," she whispered.

I stepped inside further so I could shut the door.

"He is a good guy, it was a mistake," I said.

I didn't want to tell her that she was wrong for how she felt but that didn't mean I wouldn't try to get her to trust Simon.

"Mistakes are how evil starts," Emma whispered. "First its an accident. Then they do it on purpose. Mistakes become fun."

"I promise he won't be like that," I said. "His magic is just… sick right now. Come on, let's find a bedroom that hasn't been taken yet."

"A bedroom?" Emma asked.

I nodded, confused on why she was confused.

"I don't get bedrooms," she said.

My heart broke for her, she had been mistreated for so long.

"Well now you do," I said and gently took her hand to lead her down the hallway.

So sorry its been so long. I again got caught up in a sea of schoolwork. Should be calm this weekend though, I'll be writing a lot these next few days!
