"She's been out for about an hour after I called you" Sam told Shalimar. After finding Emma unconscious the first thing she did was call her. The feral had gotten there in record time with the help of her bike. She followed Sam to the small enfirmary. Emma was on one of the three small beds there. Sitting at the edge of the bed Shalimar stroked Emma's face gently and gave her a soft kiss on the temple.
"She seems to be perfectly fine. Had I not found her on the floor I'd have thought that she just fell asleep."
"How did this happen?" Shalimar asked finding a small bandaid near Emma's ear. Sam backed away a few feet before she started explaining.
" Well you see, what happened was.....She told me to tell her when Jesse got here, because they were supposed to go on a mission. But he called to say Adam needed him for some other emergency, something about hostages or a train wreck or... Anyway I went to go give her the bad news. It's bad news because other than having to go with Jesse, she'd have to go with Noah. And let's face it, no one likes Noah especially Emma, so to her it would really be bad news and-"
"Sam! Get to the point please."
"Alright, alright, no need to get excited. So I ran to the computer room, where she was at the time, and I tried to open the door. But something was blocking it so I gave it a little push. It opened enough for me to stick my head inside to see what was going on. Then I found her on the floor." She said nervously.
"You opened the door on her head!?"
"Not intentionally--Hey! look she's waking up. I leave you two alone." Sam ran out of the room faster than Shalimar ever thought she could. She had to let out a small chuckle. Did Sam really think that she'd hurt her? After all she didn't put Emma on the floor. And it's not like she could've just walked through the damn thing. Bringing her attention back to Emma, she smiled as her eyes fluttered open.
"Where am I?" She asked slowly sitting up.
"In the enfirmary." Shalimar answered helping her.
"Why?"
"Sam says she found you on the computer room floor."
"The computer room?" In a flash everything that happened hit her full force. The panic and terror she felt before was so intense that even Shalimar felt it. The ferals eyes instantly changed from brown to orange as waves of dread passed through her. It didn't take long for her to realize where they were coming from.
"Emma what are you doing?" She asked still a little rattled. Emma was visibly shaking now. Wrapping her arms around her, Shalimar just held her. That's all it took for Emma to break down and cry.
"What's wrong?" Shalimar asked confused and worried letting her eyes turn back to normal.
"She's after me Shal. She found me."
"What? Who's after you?"
"Don't let her find me! She'll kill me!" Emma cried fiercely hanging on to Shalimar who was so bewildered she barely knew what to make of the situation. Then without warning, Emma pushed her away.
"Where are the girls?" She asked Shalimar quickly getting off the bed.
"They're in school. Emma you're not making any sense. Tell me who it is your talking about." she said following her.
"We have to go get them before she does." Emma started for the door but Shalimar stood in her way.
"What's going on!? You're acting like a crazy person. Who are you so afraid of? Who's trying to kill you?" She looked into Emma's eyes. The fear was still there mixed in with the unshed tears that she was blinking back.
"Tell me! If our kids are in danger I have a right to know!" she pleaded taking her hand.
"The night we met, the GSA wasn't the only thing I was running from."

I know I know, another short chapter, partly because I can barely keep my eyes open at the moment and also because this story just headed in a whole different direction than I originally intended. For those who are still reading, I will try to put up the next chapter as soon as possible.
