Chapter 6
Emma was just making her way to the kitchen the next morning when she heard a soft nock at her front door. Peering into the open door of the bedroom she saw that Shalimar was still fast asleep. Walking up to the door she unlocked it and slowly pulled it open.
"Oh my God! Jesse!" Emma said fully opening the door and flinging her arms around him.
"Hey Em." Jesse said hugging her back.
"Come in." Emma said pulling back and pulling him inside.
"How are you?" Emma said enthusiastically.
"Im great. Is this a bad time I could come back later." Jesse said staring into the bedroom and seeing the bottom half of a person's body, not knowing that it was Shalimar.
Emma turned her gaze towards where Jesse was looking and started to smile. Bringing a hand up to try and cover the grin that was on her face she replied, "Um no. I want you to stay."
"What's so funny?" Jesse asked. He could tell that Emma was finding something amusing.
"Um nothing. Why don't you sit down and make yourself at home and I'll be right back." She said walking into the bedroom.
"Shal wake up." Emma whispered walking up to the dresser and rumaging through for some clothes to wear. Turning around she saw that the feral hadn't moved. Pulling on some jeans and a top she walked to sit next to the feral.
"Shal, wake up." Emma said gentlely shaking her. Opening her eyes Shalimar looked up.
"What?" Shalimar asked sitting up still sleepy.
"Get dressed, we've got company." Emma said smiling.
"Can't you get rid of them and come back to bed." Shal asked.
"No, I think you may want to see them anyway." Emma said smiling even wider.
"Who is it?" Shalimar asked standing up and pulling on some clean clothes.
"You'll find out soon enough." Emma said opening the door to the bedroom once the blonde was dressed.
Seeing Emma come out of the bedroom Jesse stood up . He could also see someone else coming out but Emma was in the way so he couldn't see them properly. Stepping out of the way Emma smiled when both Shalimar and Jesse gasped at seeing each other.
"Jess." Shalimar shouted walking up to him and hugging him tight.
After a few moments both pulled away. Jesse especially looked surprised.
"You two...together...wow...that's just...wow."
Emma and Shalimar looked at each other and started to laugh.
"Yeah, it is pretty wowing." Emma said still laughing.
"So how long have you been together?" Jesse asked.
"Only since last night actually." Shalimar said pulling them both down onto the sofa. Emma moved and sat on the arm next to Shalimar.
"How did you find us?" Emma asked.
"You know if you give me a computer I can do almost anything." Jesse said smiling up at her.
"So what have you been up to? Shalimar asked wanting to know.
"I'm engaged actually." Jesse said, but looked sad.
"Isn't that supposed to be a happy thing?" Shalimar asked.
"She's been missing for three days." Jesse said upset.
"Oh God Jess im so sorry. You know we'll help any way we can." Emma said.
"Do you know anything about where she went. If she was kidnapped or what?" Shalimar said.
"I'm not sure but everything leads to her being kidnapped." Jesses answered.
"Is she a mutant?"
"Yeah, she's an empath."
Emma and Shalimar looked at each other sadly. It had to be the same people who they had came across a few days before.
"What?" Jesse said worried at seeing the looks they were giving each other.
"I think we have an idea of who may have her." Shalimar explained.
"Who?"
"We don't know any thing about them, except that they're strong and have killed and kidnapped other mutants."
"Killed?" Jesse asked cautiously.
"Yeah but that doesn't mean they've killed..." Emma stopped realising that she didn't know her name.
"Teagan." Jesse said.
"I don't think they have. When they attacked me they made it pretty clear that they were after mutant x or what used to be mutant x. This may just be a trap to try catch us off guard, if they know that she's your fiance then they will keep her as bait." Shalimar explained trying to ease Jesse's worry.
"We have to stop them." Emma mumbled to herself.
Turning round Shalimar smiled at Emma, "We will." She said squeezing her hand.
Emma smiled back, they're relationship was new and they still needed to talk about things but that could wait until another time.
"Jesse have you tried to find Bren? Me and Shal have looked but didn't find anything."
"Yeah, I tracked him to a club but I didn't find him there. Someone gave me his cell number though and I phoned him and told him to meet us here, I hope you don't mind. Sorry I forgot to tell you."
"Wow Jesse that's great. Do you think he'll show?" Shalimar said.
"Hopefully. We need all the help we can get right now and it would be great to see him again." Jesse answered.
"Yeah, it's been so long and I..." Emma was cut off by a sharp knocking at the door.
Carefully opening the door again, Emma grinned at the elemental before her, "I was told you were coming." She said playfully. She didn't know whether to hug him or not but was soon pulled into a tight embrace by him.
Walking in Brennan was shocked to see Shalimar sitting next to Jesse. He had been told by Jess that he had only found Emma so far.
"Shal, I didn't expect to see you here." He said walking up and cuddling her.
"Well it's good to see you too." Shalimar said teasing.
After their reunion was finished all four sat down and tried to come up with a good way of how to get Teagan back. It was almost like old times. Almost.
