Last Time:
"I'm sorry," He told her.
"Why?" She asked, as he wrapped his arms around her.
"I broke my promise, I never came back."

-=-=-=- Chapter 2: Emilia -=-=-=-
Venom sighed deeply as she settled into Roach's, or Briar's, arms. She rested her head against his chest, her body moving with his as his chest rose and sunk in breathing patterns.
They'd escaped the argument which had proken out with Viper and Trisanna, one of Roach's foster-sisters. One of his foster-mothers, Lark, had shown up to break up the fight. Then Roach had taken her hand ans silently led her up the cottage stairs and onto the thatched roof.
Roach lowered his mouth to her ear. "I've missed you," He whispered.
Venom turned her face towards his. "I've missed you too," She told him, kissing his lips gently before she turned into his kiss properly. Within seconds Roach had her pinned to the thatch-work, a knife at her neck.
Venom glared slightly, "I hate it when you do that," She hissed softly.
Roach grinned, "What did I tell you about your knives?" Roach enquired.
Venom sighed, the knife not threatening at all, it wasn't the first time she'd had a knife pressed to her neck.
"You said I should keep them hidden where they shouldn't be easily discovered."
Roach nodded, "And.." He began but he was thrown from onto his back next to her, she pinned down his legs with her knees and pressing her palms onto his fore arms, as he'd taught her.
Now Venom grinned broadly, "And what ws it you told me about watching your opponent?"
Roach's grin came back. "Don't get cocky."
"You've lost your touch," She told him.
"I still got your knife," He reminded her.
Venom raised an eyebrow and nodded to his hand, the knife was gone. She winked at him and she held her palm out, the knife balanced on her palm.
"Well I don't usually have men put their hands there," She told him, twisting the knife back into it's cheap sheath, which was located on her inner-left thigh.
Roach flashed her a toothy smile. "But I'm an exception?"
Venom winked at her, "Depends."
"On what?"
"Your answer."
"To what?"
"To if you'll come back to Hajra with Viper, Cheater and me."
Roach turned away from her at this moment, his head hung. "Ven, I... I can't."
"Why not, we need you, we need a leader."
"Why not Weevil?" Roach turned back to her.
"Roach, Weevil... Weevil's dead. The mine collasped on him," Her eyes shined with tears, he'd been like a big brother to her, before his sentence. One of the X's on his hands was because of her.
Roach's breath caught in his throat. "He's dead? But?"
"That's why we need you," Venom told him.
"I can't," Roach said again. "And you have to all be Briar now, I can't be Roach around here."
Tears rolled down her cheeks, "But its who you are, not this Briar, you're Roach, our Roach, my Roach."
Roach/Briar put a hand to her face and wiped the falling tears from her cheek. "I'll always been that person, but..."
"You're ashamed of who you are, who... who I am," She stepped back from his touch.
"Ven, don't be like that."
"What should I be think?" She hissed violently.
"I have family here," Briar told her.
"Do they mean more to you than me?"
"Of course not," Briar said, stepping towards her again, wrapping his arms around her waist, holding her to him.
"Then come back with me."
Briar sighed. "You could stay here, with me. All of you. We can..."
Venom shook her head. "No, I can't, I..."
"You what?"
"I have responsiblities."
"What kind of responsiblities?"
A tear ran down her cheek.
"I'm so sorry," She sobbed, placing her head onto his chest. "I... I never thought I'd see you again."
"What's happened?"
"We... We thought we'd lost you, it was only a year ago. And... And we couldn't afford the charms. We... We never meant for it to happen."
"Michaela Cymbeline Tailor, tell me what happened," Briar ordered, naming her full name, which she'd had before she'd been given the nickname, Venom.
Michaela/Venom shudered at the name, she wasn't used to it being used, only Briar, and Weevil, had known what it was. Not even Cheater and Viper knew what it was.
Briar shook her slightly, and looked deep into her envy-green eyes. "Michaela, just tell me."
Michaela sighed, looking at her feet. "We didn't even mean for it to happen, we got a little carried away. Viper hadn't come back to the den, we were worried, he was out searching for Lucetta-"
"Who's Lucetta?"
"Oh Lucy, she's like... She's like my sister. Her mother died and Cheater had found her on a filth pile, we took her in."
"But you're a gang?"
"Not without a true leader we aren't," She told him, making him look away from her eyes. She went on, "And I was worried, and we just got carried away. I swear, I never meant to hurt you, you mean more to me than anything, I..."
"What's happened?" Briar asked, repeating himself.
"Emilia," She told him.
"Who's Emilia?" Briar asked, his face puzzled.
"My.. she's mine," was all she could get out.
"How do you mean yours?"
"M-Mine," Michaela stuttered.
"She's ours," came a voice from the entrance to the roof.
Briar spun around to come face to face with Cheater.
"What are you talking about, Cheat?"
"She's our daughter," Cheater said, unbothered by the glare Briar shot him.
"Your what?!" Briar yelled, turning back to Michaela. "Michaela, he can't be serious."
Michaela saw Cheater puzzled look over Briar's shoulder. She gave him a look which told him she'd explain later.
"Daughter," Michaela croaked softly.
Briar's eyes stay widened. "But... You... And I... We..." He seemed lost for words.
"I'm so sorry," Michaela repeated. "I still love you, but..."
She make to kiss him, but Briar stepped back from her.
"You have a daughter, with him?" He pointed to Cheater.
Michaela nodded. "It's not as it seems."
"Let her explain," Cheater tried, putting her hands in his pockets.
"Stay out of this," Briar snapped.
Cheater gave Michaela an apologetic look.
"Briar, please. She doesn't stop me from loving you. Or from you loving me, right?"
Briar was shaking his head, as if he couldn't believe what was happening.
"Why did you come here? I was happy, I had a new life. You... You need to leave, leave now!" Briar pointed towards the stairs. "Now!"
Michaela gapped at him. "You don't mean that."
"Leave, I don't want to see you again," Briar shot.
Tears whelmed in Michaela's eyes as she ran passed Cheater and down the steps.
Cheater glared at Briar. "She trully loves you, mate," Cheater told him and turned and ran after Michaela.
