Chapter 3
The Song


The morning sun seeped through Emma's curtains slowly, the light hitting her face. Her eyes squinted against the bombarding sunlight, and slowly opened, one eye at a time. It was another day, she thought to herself as she stretched and yawned.

Emma rolled out of bed and padded down the hallway, silently. Looking around, she noticed that she was the first one up, and unusual thing considering that Shalimar liked to stay out late at clubs with the guys and Adam hardly ever slept. Adam.
Emma's mind wandered in thought of him. He was so intelligent and handsome, to things that where high on her list of things she wanted in a man. she mentally kicked herself for thinking that. She shouldn't be thinking of such things! He was old enough to be her father for goodness sakes! Her mind pictured him in the lab, as she walked by it. in her mind she saw him hunched over the computer's keyboard, staring intensely at the screen, she loved that look he got when he was deep in thought. He looked so heroic when he looked that way, another thing that attracted her.
Seeing the meditation room ahead of her, she quickly put away her thoughts of Adam. she needed a clear head to meditate. Entering the Meditation Room, she see something laying on one of the pillows she sat on. She was confused. Picking up the paper, she looked it over. It's a poem... but from who? Her voice was quiet and soft. Emma looked around, seeing if anyone was around. No one was.
confused, she sat down on a pillow and began to read the poem.

Her eyes widened as she read it, it was a beautiful poem, but who was it for? Emma finished the poem and sighed. Why can't someone write something like that for me! she said aloud. Placing the poem next to her, she began to meditate. After a few minutes she found that she couldn't concentrate on meditating, the poem was getting in the way. She had this compulsive feeling to change it somehow, and she didn't know why. Emma walked back to her room with the poem. Looking around her room, she noticed her keyboard sitting in the corner, she just stared at it. Emma looked from the keyboard to the poem and back again. Grinning she sat down at the keyboard and began to play.


After all... You're still you Emma stopped singing NO NO! Emma growled to herself
She wasn't getting that last line right. Emma slammed her hands down on the keyboard, making a crashing noise. For the past two hours she had been turning the poem she found into a song, and a damn good one too, except for the last line. she ran her fingers through her hair and started again at the top.
Through the darkness... I can see your light... Emma's voice was sweet and strong, like she had been singing all her life. As she continued her voice rose and fall as the notes went by, when she came to the last line, she smiled as she finally landed the notes properly. With all the notes written on the poem she was satisfied and she left it there on the keyboard.

Emma walked out to the kitchen to find Shalimar and Brennan eatting breakfast.
Hey guys! How was your night? They both looked tired but they smiled.
Oh Good Good... Shalimar said grinning.
Brennan nodded. mine was good too..How about yours? He said looking at Emma.
Oh mine was fine but... Emma trailed off slowly.
But what? Shalimar asked.
Oh well I was up early this morning and when i went into the meditation room, i found a poem on one of the pillows... do you guys know anything about that? Emma looked at the blonde feral then to the tall elemental.
Shalimar looked at Brennan for a second then shook her head Nope sorry Emma I don't
Me either.. sorry Brennan said calmly.
Well... I put the poem to music just a while ago, so if you guys hear anything about that let me know ok? Emma smiled and started to root around in the fridge.
Emma knew that no one could get into Sanctuary, and if Shal and Brennan didn't know anything about it than that lfet only Jesse and Adam.

Shalimar looked over to Brennan, they both had the same thought cross thier minds. Brennan made sure emma was out of ear shot, and scooted up next to Shalimar.
Oh.. this is good! She made the poem into a song! Brennan's voice was so low it could bearly be heard. Shalimar smiled.
I know! but we have to keep Emma off track for a while... and tell Jesse! We'll meet later!
Yeah ok.. I'll go fill Jesse in Brennan whispered softly as he got up to put his dished in the sink.Well.. I'm gonna go play some ball... later Brennan said as he gave Shal and Emma a smile.

Emma had a feeling that something was going on, that Shal and Brennan were up to something. She looked at them suspiciously but thought nothing about it as she poured milk on her cherrios.
