Now I'd like to inform you that this chapter is not my work, this chapter is thanks to another writer "shadow_fox3553". All I did was edit it and give her the basic story line so this is hers. I'd like to give her a big thanks for taking up the finishing of this story.
"Hey Emma have you seen Shalimar?" Brennan asked and then realized what she was wearing. "Is something wrong?!? 'Cause this is not you." He pointed to her outrageous outfit only to soon regret his words when he saw a look of anger and hurt.
"And what is 'me' Brennan?" She asked but didn't let him answer "If you weren't so busy tripping head over heels on Shalimar maybe you would notice other people huh!?!" She stated as a fact rather a question. Brennan just stood there not knowing what to say.
"Am I really head over heels on Shalimar" He asked himself.
"Yes" Emma stated clearly as if he had spoken aloud. "Are you reading me?" He asked upset and a little angry that she would trespass into his mind.
"Relax Brennan" she said with a smile and hit him with a psionic blast. He suddenly couldn't resist her and kissed her most passionately. The kiss continued for a few minutes and Emma's hands were moving up and down along his back and Brennan's hands were all over Emma's body. Emma smiled when the kiss was over and looked past Brennan and straight into Jesse's eyes. Jesse just turned around and stomped off to the dojo to blow off a lot of steam. But, Jesse wasn't the only one who witnessed this little incident; Shalimar had just rounded the corner and saw the whole thing. She stood there unable to express the emotion she felt and just turned back to her room and slammed her door. At the sound of the slamming door Brennan shook his head as if trying to remember something.
"What was I saying?" he asked.
"Shal is in Jesse's room doing what they usually do" She continued with a seductive smile as if nothing had happened in between his question and her answer. Brennan was pissed and he, like the others, stormed out. When he had left Emma spoke out loud to no one in particular "This is just way too fun"
"I'm glad you're enjoying your self?" She heard the voice inside her head.
"Oh I am, now if you will excuse me I have some lives to disrupt" she thought to her self but knew that Gabriel had herd her.
An hour passed after Brennan had thought about what Emma had said and what she had meant. He walked over to Jesse's room and knocked, when no one answered he entered the room and found Jesse topless and his chest beaded with moisture. His blood boiled.What Brennan didn't know was that Jesse had just come out of the shower after having had blown off some steam.
"Man, I can't believe you?" Brennan yelled in anger.
"I should be telling that to you not the other way around" Jesse stated.
"Well I am not the one fooling around with a woman my 'Best Friend' likes" Brennan shouted not believing that Jesse would do that to him.
Jesse took a few steps closer to him "What the hell are you talking about?!? Weren't you the one just making out with Emma when you very well know how I feel about her?" Jesse fought back in the same tone.
Instead of telling Jesse that he had no idea what he was talking about in his state of anger he yelled, "Well at least I'm not sleeping with her now am I?" This statement pissed Jesse off and he charged straight at Brennan and punched him in the face.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?!?" An extremely pissed off Adam asked. "We are having some serious problems with Gabriel and here you guys are beating each other up."
"Tell him" Jesse pointed to Brennan who was about to respond but Adam spoke first.
"I don't care who started it now pull your act together and grow up because I don't know how you're going to beat Ashlocke when you two can't get along" He turned and left the room holding the bridge of his nose.
Down and across the hallway Ashlocke was tormenting Shalimar. After she had seen Brennan and Emma kissing she turned around and went straight back to her room. She lay on her bed feeling hurt and betrayed. "How could my best friend do something like that to me, when she knew I liked Brennan so much?" She asked herself. Tears started rolling down her cheeks. Even though friends had betrayed her before, this time it was different, it was like being betrayed by her sister.
After an hour of lying on her bed feeling hurt she cried herself to sleep. Half an hour into her sleep was when she began tossing and turning.
"What's wrong Shalimar?" Gabriel asked.
"Get out of my head!!" She yelled
"Shalimar, Shalimar, Shalimar when are you going to realize that we are meant for each other"
"Get out of my head" She yelled again
"Just face it Shalimar I love you and you love me"
"I don't love you and I want nothing to do with you" She told him hoping he would leave her alone, but knew the chances of that happening were slim to none.
"Brennan doesn't care about you Shalimar, not the way I do"
"SHUT UP!! You don't know what you're talking about!" She told him but in a way she knew he was right.
"Come on Shalimar if he cared he wouldn't have kissed Emma and enjoyed it so much. He doesn't love you or even want you"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!" She yelled trying to wake her self-up.
"Don't bother, the only way you're getting up is if I let you" He smiled at her and disappeared.
The second he disappeared flames ignited all around her.
"It's just a dream, It's not real it's just a dream" She kept telling herself. Even though it was a dream it didn't mean she wasn't dead afraid of the fire that surrounded her.
Emma lay on her bed feeling good about how everything was turning out. "This is where we have a bit of fun with Shalimar and Adam." She herd the familiar voice. "Oh goody" She got up of her bed and went down to the kitchen.
Shalimar was tossing and turning in her bed, beads of sweat were on her forehead. "Hello again Shalimar" She looked up and saw Gabriel but no flames
.
"Leave me alone" She almost begged him.
"If that's what you want" with that he vanished and again the flames appeared.
"GABRIEL!" She yelled and he appeared and the fire went away.
"Why Shalimar? Miss me already?" He asked with a wicked smile. She glared at him with her gold feral eyes.
"Why are you doing this?" He took several steps closer to her and cupped her chin in one of his hands and started her in the eyes.
"So you can see I care for you and that I want you"
"Keep dreaming Ashlock"
"Well you see that is exactly what you are doing" He let go of her chin and took a few steps back
.
"If you even cared for me Ashlock you wouldn't be doing this to me" He stared off as if considering what she said and nodded.
"You know you're right, I'll give you a break" with that he left.
Adam entered Shalimar's room after he had knocked and received no answer. He found Shalimar lying in her bed, tears running down her face and her forehead with a sweaty sheen. He shook her lightly, and she jumped her arms going instantly around him. He held her as she sobbed into his chest. "It's okay Shalimar, you're safe." As soon as Adam had finished his sentence she stiffened.
"He doesn't know what he is talking about because you are MINE!"
"Get him out Adam, Please. I can handle it anymore Adam please get him out" Adam sighed and very carefully carried her to the lab. On the way to the lab Adam passed by Jesse's room and saw that the two were back at it and this time they were using not only words but also fists, he shook his head and kept walking.
"I'll deal with them later" he told himself.
"EMMA!" he called and after a few minutes she entered the lab holding a slice of pizza in her hand. Adam looked at her a second but then turned his attention back to Shalimar. "Can you get Ashlocke out of her head?" She walked over to where Shalimar was holding her knees to her chest and rocking back and forth and took a bite of her slice of pizza.
"Sure I'll give it a try" Adam stared at her in disbelief. She connected to Shalimar who soon shut her eyes with a look of serenity on her face.
"Thank you"
"No problem" She winked at Adam, smiled and left the lab.
"I'll have to do some tests on her," thought Adam making a mental note.
After some antibiotics were inserted into Shalimar's arm for the fever she had he kissed her forehead and left the lab.
"Will you two stop already?" The boys both stopped and looked at their very pissed off Leader. "What the hell is the matter with the two of you?" They both started talking at the same time.
"He's sleeping with Shalimar when he knew how I felt towards her" Brennan pointed to Jesse.
"He kissed Emma" Jesse pointed to Brennan.
Brennan then turned to Jesse "Man I did nothing of that sort I LIKE Shalimar too much, I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize my chances with her."
"And what's your story?"
"Adam I was in search of Emma so I could ask her if she wanted to go out tonight, but Brennan was all over her" he gave him a dirty glare as he spoke to Adam.
"Man you're crazy, I don't remember any of that, all I remember is talking to Emma. We had a little discussion and then I asked her where Shal was and she said with Jesse doing what they 'usually' do."
"Look Brennan, I would never do that to you, you're my best friend. Plus, I like Emma, Shal is like a sister to me."
"I believe you, but I really don't remember kissing Emma for some reason." He turned to Adam "She has been acting kind of strange lately."
"Yeah, she led me on and then acted like nothing had happened"
"Wait a minute you guys are telling me you went straight to fighting without even talking to each other first?" They both lowered their heads; ashamed by how they had acted. "Let's go find Emma, I have a couple questions for her, but first lets get you to the lab and cleaned up" He pointed to their bruised, cut faces.
Meanwhile in the lab, Shalimar was having problems of her own. "Oh Shalimar"
"Go away!"
"Not until you give me what I want"
"Go to hell"
"Fine but I'll take you with me" with a quick move of his hand there was fire all over. "So what do you think of hell Shalimar?" She was now having trouble breathing. "There is something I want you to see" He said and moved aside, there, there was a picture too small to see who it was of so she let her eyes glow to get a better look. "Having trouble seeing?" he asked and the picture then suddenly enlarged into a gigantic size. She gasped when she saw what the picture was of. "Shalimar I thought you would be happy for them, after all Emma is your best friend" She just stared at the picture of her best friend and the man she had dreamed of being with ever since they had first met and began to cry. "Oh come on, I tried to tell you that he didn't want you but you never listened" He said and left.
She sat up in the medical chair with the tears running down her face. "Hey you ok?" She turned to the familiar voice and just stared at him. When he moved closer to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.
"Don't touch me!" She yelled as she got off the chair and ran to the other side of the room, making sure not to turn her back on him in order to watch his every move.
"Shalimar, what did I do?" He asked moving closer to her.
"Stay away from me, please just go away" she said a new set of tears began to fall.
He nodded, "If that's what you want" and left the lab. She got up and ran to her room without saying another word to Jesse or Adam who had both asked her what was wrong.
