I am so sorry people, I sprained my wrist so I haven't been able to ride my bike to the library to actually write this, so sorry about the delay, you can blame my big brother for pushing me into the table!

Emma pulled out a small teddy bear that her mother had given her as a going away present, the pink dress was a little to tight to for it, but it was adorable, she put it down next to her and pulled out her tamagotchi, also known as a digital pet that she was obsessed with, she began feeding it when Walt walked up to her.
"What's that?" he asked as he sat down.
Emma handed it to him.
"Cool! That's a weird looking pet! Can I play with it for a couple of minutes?" he asked as his hands started pressing buttons.
Emma nodded and dug into her backpack again and handed him another tamagotchi.
Walt looked up. "For me?"
Emma nodded.
"Gee! Thanks!" he said as he handed the other one back to her.
Emma smiled.
Walt turned to her. "How come you can't talk?" he asked nervously.
Emma turned to him and shrugged.
Walt nodded. "Well, thanks again!" he said then hurried off.
Flashback.
"Emma! What did you do!" her mom's boyfriend demanded. "Why'd you let him out!" he shouted.
Emma about 6 years old, took a step back frightened.
Her mom's boyfriend walked over to her and shook her. "You let that damn dog out!" he shouted. "He needs to be broken!" he slapped her on her face. "You dumb kid! Tell my why you let him out!"
"I-I thought he needed some exercise…" she whispered.
"Think again kid! Never ever let the damn dog out! Do you understand me!" he shouted. "Huh?"
Emma nodded slowly. "I'm sorry-"
Her mom's boy friend struck her again. "Never speak again you idiot!" he shouted and stormed out of the room.
Emma stood there and began to cry.
End of flashback.

"Hey Jack" Kate said as she walked over to him. "How's everyone?"
"Ok…" he said s he took a sip of his water. "What about you? What are you up to?"
"Just checking on everyone, going to go see if Emma's alright" she said as she walked down the beach.

"Hey" Kate said as she sat down next to Emma. "How are you?"
Emma shrugged.
"Wanna help me do something?" she asked.
Emma's eyes grew big she nodded.
"Well, I'm gonna go collect some food, wanna help me carry it back?"
Emma smiled and nodded.
"Come on then" she said as she stood up.
