It was a bit mean to leave you with an end like the one in chapter 5.
But here it is.:))
Chapter 6
Emma was lying on the couch in the rec room and yawned. She and Adam were watching a movie, which was so extremely bad, that she tried to stay awake. She sat straight up, having enough to watch a bad picture. She was drawing the attention of Adam, who was sitting in the chair next to the couch. He looked at her and was just about to suggest eating something in the kitchen. But Emma was turning pale. He walked towards her and put a hand on her shoulder. He said:" Emma?", but she didn't reply. Emma had a very irregular breathing and was trying to get herself back in control. But she failed. She was getting multiple waves from Shalimar, Brennan and Jesse; all waves were penetrated with the most intense feelings. Emma was feeling the fear, the pain and the terror, her friends went through. Her knowing them was making it worse. She was trying to dose the feelings in the right proportions, so that she could bear it. But it was getting worse. She lost control and let everything enter her mind. Emma lied on the couch again, leaned her head against the armrest of the couch and closed her eyes. Her face was getting wet of the tears, coming out of her eyes.
Adam was looking down at Emma and could see the struggle she went through. He knew what she was going through, but he didn't understand why this was so hard on her. She looked emotionally exhausted lying there, but he didn't know the reason. He saw Emma was getting her control back and said again:" Emma?" Emma heard Adam, but she didn't answer him. Something strange had just happened. She felt nothing anymore, totally nothing. That was what scared her. All of a sudden she didn't feel anything anymore. No pain, no fear, no terror, nothing. That could only mean one thing and she didn't want to think about that. She looked at Adam, who was still waiting, next to her, anxious to know what had happened. She said:" I just had a hit from Shalimar, Brennan and Jesse. Something has happened to them." She saw the fear in Adam's eyes and explained what she had felt during the hit. Adam was walking from one side of the room to the other. "I can't believe this", he said repeatedly. Emma looked at him and asked:" What are we going to do? We don't know where they are and if they are alive." Adam turned around, when he heard Emma saying this, to yell at her for thinking that, but when he saw her crying eyes he couldn't. He walked towards her and put his arms around her for comfort, while he was thinking of his three children, lying wounded somewhere....
Adam was behind the screen of the monitor and tried to contact the comlinks, but the only thing he was getting from the comlinks was a signal, which shows where they were. Adam was relieved, but he saw they were in a ravine. The ravine was near Sanctuary, a three hour drive, but they had to enter the ravine, so the drive would take two hours more. He had to drive, because there was no space for the Helix to land. Emma walked towards him, she had freshened herself up, and was looking less pale. "Do you already know something?" Adam nodded and told her what he found out. Emma asked:" What are we waiting for? Let's go! It takes a couple of minutes with the Helix." Adam shook his head and said:" We can't go with the Helix; there is no place to land. We have to take the Land-rover, because it is the biggest car we have." Emma couldn't believe what she was hearing. "It takes longer for us to get there", she almost yelled. Adam nodded again and said:" With the car it will takes us about 5 hours, so we need to rush." He didn't give Emma moments to think. He summed up a list of things they would need and he told her to get them. Emma did what she was told and left immediately.
Adam went through the laboratory and took some machinery and put it on a table with wheels in it. He looked around and checked if he wasn't forgetting anything and pushed the table out of the laboratory. In the hall, Emma was already waiting impatiently. There were a lot of bags surrounding her. He looked surprised at her, but Emma just shrugged her shoulders. She knew she was taken too much, but she couldn't help herself. She always did. Adam helped her with the bags and they went to the garage. Adam opened the car with a remote and they put the stuff in the car. They stepped into the car and drove out of the garage.
Thanks for the reviews!! I loved them!
