Chapter 12: Christmas Night

Christmas day was great. Everything went awesome with no problems what so ever. Everyone liked what

they got, which was always a relief. Shalimar and Emma made a wonderful Christmas dinner, which got

eaten very quickly. We played a lot of euchre, and didn't really find anything else to do. The day was great,

and Emma said she was feeling fine. We were all worried about her, because she didn't look that good.

However, she kept reassuring us that she was ok. Christmas night came around, and everyone went to bed

exhausted. Tomorrow we were planning on taking a trip to visit some new mutants at one of the safe houses,

because we haven't talked with them in quite some time. Anyway, we went to bed, and I fell asleep almost

immediately. I woke up in the middle of the night, and heard something strange. Realizing the noise was

coming from Emma's room, I quickly got out of bed, and made my way to her room. "Emma?" I called out

quietly and knocked on her door. "Emma you ok in there?" I heard no reply and the sound stopped. I stood

there for a second and wondered what had happened. The noised started again and I opened the door

without hesitation. I opened my mouth as I saw what was happening. Emma was on the floor, having a

seizure. I ran up to her, but didn't know what to do. I tried to hold her still, but it didn't work. I tried to make

her come out of it, but that didn't work either. So I ran out of her room, and barged into Adam's. Seeing as I

wasn't being too quiet, he woke up as I entered, and sat up straight in bed. "Brennan? What the." I cut him

off before he could finish. "Adam, Emma's having a seizure." I said, very urgent and out of breath. "What?"

Adam asked and got out of bed quickly. We both ran back to Emma's room and she was laying still on the

ground. Adam ran to her and checked her pulse. "She's alive," he said relived. "But we should get her to the

hospital. I nodded my head then got myself, and the car, ready. "Should I wake the others?" I asked him,

still not knowing what to do. "No." he said. "We have to go." And with that he picked Emma up, and

carried her to the car. He put her in the back, and sat in the passenger seat, as I got in the driver's seat and

drove off into the cold night. As we were driving, Emma woke up and sat up. "What's going on?" she asked

to no one in particular. "Emma!" Adam sounded relived and turned around after hearing her voice. "Adam,

what's going on?" she asked again. "Just relax Emma, we're going to the hospital." "What happened?

Whose hurt? Where is everyone?" she sounded so worried and I hoped she would be alright. "You, Emma."

Adam said and I knew she wouldn't understand him. "What?" she asked sounding not so much worried

now, just confused. "You had a seizure back at Sanctuary." Emma looked at him speechless and was about

to talk when I said, "Two or three actually." I turned my head slightly while saying this, but turned it back

right after to look at the road. "Brennan." She said just noticing I was there. "Where's Jesse and Shalimar?"

she asked sounding a bit worried again. "Still sleeping." Adam replied, but Emma still looked worried.
