Amy rang me the day after we had 'rsurrected' Mark. She told me that her brother, Harrison, was looking after, lo and behold, Emma. Emma was in a real bad way. And she had just had a baby. I was confused. But I didn't let it worry me. Both mother and child were sick and chances of survival looked slim. Amy saidf that if I wished to pay respects, I should come now. I did. Even if Emma and me weren't friends anymore, that didn't stop me from saying goodbye. We had been friends for a long long time. I didn't want to stuff it up. So I went. Kirby stayed in the care of Blue, who was ecstatic about the little girl. Debbie had gone to find a place of her own with Maggie. Frodo and I rode to Lake town, and so did Mark.
We arrived in Lake town a little after three o'clock. Harrison was there and saw us. Damon was near by. He saw us, but didn't really register. I wouldn't either, if Frodo was in a condition like that. Amy led us down the hall and into the intensive care unit. I hesitated before entering Emma's room. Benny was there, watching her, his eyes fully of worry, pity and...he was crying. I walked over to the bed, Benny didn't try and stop me. Emma's eyes were wide and staring. I was overcome with a feeling of Deja vu. I remembered this is what she was like back in high school, when she tried to kill herself and went to far. I took her hand.
"Emma. Emma if you can hear me, blink once, please." I said, hoping against hope that it would work a second time. She didn't blink at first. I think she didn't want to talk to me. Benny came over.
"Emma, it Benny. Please, do what jamie says." Emma slowly, oh ever so slowly, blinked her eyes. Hope rose it's head out of the dust.
"Emma. One blink for yes and two for no." I said. Emma blinked to say she understood. I let out a sigh of relief. "Emma, you have to hold on, you have no idea how lonely your children and Damon and everyone who loves you will be if you 'go away.'" I said, careful not to use the word 'die'. Emma lay motionless.
Mark entered the room. Benny saw him and stared. "M-mark?" He stuttered. "B- but you're dead. How can you be a-alive?"
"Jamie brought me back with magic. But let's focus on Emma, please." Mark said, talking with authority.
"Emma," I said. "Don't die. Please. I know we aren't friends anymore, but if you die, I'll feel like I'd have lost a sister. Please. You gotta get better."
After an hour Frodo and Mark and I went away. But Amy rang us that night to tall us that Emma had started to fget better. "What did you do?" she asked. "It's a miricle."
"Just a little faith will get you anywhere." was all I said. Mark gave me a knowing look and wnet on reading to Kirby.

The next day, I got a phone call from Boromir.
"Hi Jamie."
"You have a fat lot of nerve calling here." I said, icily.
"What?"
"Don't call me ever again. Damon told me what the hell you did to poor Emma. And I wish you would burn in hell for all eternity." It was true. Damon had told me. He was looking for a way to get out of the hell he had found himself in.
"God damn you." He hissed and hung up.
