Heyo! Hope everyone's having a fantastic day! I know I said this one would be released a couple of days ago but I kinda felt like my writing was slipping, that it kinda sucked. So I went back and edited this one a lot. I hope you all enjoy it!

Emerald sighed as she searched through a bag that she had stolen earlier today, she currently sat in front of a crate that acted as a table. Mercury Black a partner of hers sat across from her his leg up on said crate a screwdriver in hand, he was currently tightening the bolts on his legs. He glanced up towards Emerald who had tossed the bag to the side various objects of importance on her side of the crate. He knew this girl for about two years, and still couldn't tell what exactly motivated her. "Seems like you hit a score." He said setting his left leg down rolling the pant leg to his ankle lifting his other one. Emerald sighed once again leaning back in her chair closing her eyes, she wasn't really in a talking mood. Mercury watched the girl giving a shake of the head. "What's with you? Don't seem really enthusiastic today."
Emerald glared at him reaching forward tightening his bolt making him hiss in pain. "Come on Em, don't be like that."
"Then don't be such a dick." She growled out. "Feisty today." He said grinning. Emerald shook her head crossing her arms across her chest.
The two sat quiet before Mercury once again decided to speak. "So what do you think about that Watts guy, he seems to love pulling my strings." Mercury said gritting his teeth slamming the screw driver down. "You let him though, you make it so easy for him to do." Emerald replied hiking up her boots.
"Next time he says something don't hold me back, I'm sure that Salem chick won't mind me giving him a few hits in." Emerald shook her head.
The sound of a door opening and closing brought their attention to the short girl who kept her head down sauntering passed them. They both watched the shorter girl as she went down a small hallway a sound of another door being opened and closed this time with a bang.
Mercury gave a snort getting up. "Man I should stop hanging out with so many chicks. It's ruining my reputation." He said exiting the building.
'Go to her.'
Emerald grit her teeth hearing that wretched voice again, some voice it was. Always telling her to run from bad situations, such as the fall of Beacon. Standing up on that building hearing the screams, she almost really did feel sorry. It reminded her of her home town, people being torn to shreds right in front of her. Shaking her head she got up from the table discarding the items she obtained earlier, she knew no one would steal them.
She followed down a hallway passing multiple rooms that she didn't even know what was in them. But that wasn't her concern, Neo was. Finally reaching her destination she stood outside the door her hand resting on the frame. 'Just knock damn it.' She growled lightly knocking on the door a little furiouser than she meant to. A few thumps signaled that she could come in, being that Neo was mute. She had been tortured when she was young by some people, but luckily Roman was there to save her.

"Look at her! Can't scream anymore can you? Such a little bitch." A man said as his foot slammed into her stomach once again making her cough blood out onto the ground. A slit in her throat made more blood pour out as well. "Oi! Leave her alone!" Someone yelled bringing the man's attention to the end of the ally. A rock flew through the air slamming into his face. The man growled as he pulling out his knife. "You fucking brat!" The man exclaimed as he reached for the younger teen trying to grab him. The boy slammed his foot into the man's crotch making him howl in pain. "You fuc-" The boy managing to grab his knife somehow slammed it into the man's throat. Who was now in shock at what happened gripping the object implanted in his neck, he gurgled a little blood spilling from his mouth. "Looks like I hit one of you arteries. Oops." The boy said grinning as the man fell.
A soft groan pulled the boy to what had brought him over here, the little girl made an attempt to get up but to no prevail the strength in her body showed no sign of help. Said boy rushed forward catching the girl who had slipped easing her down again.
"Whoa careful there." He said patting her head, the girls eyes slowly fluttered closed as her breathing slowed but didn't stop. He quickly checked her pulse giving a sigh of relief. 'Still alive. Good.' He thought giving an amusing smile at her hair color. 'Reminds me of the ice cream.'
He picked the girl up giving one last glance towards the guy before stepping over him. "Serves you right." The boy muttered in disgust.

Emerald sat down on the end of the bed not even looking at the short girl who lay faced towards the wall. 'Ask her.'
Emerald gave a shake of the head scratching her arm slightly. 'You know you want to. You're itching to leave. Ask her.'
The thief looked at Neo her eyes tracing the curves of her body. "Neo." She whispered hoping that the other was still awake. At no sign of sound Emerald sighed slowly slipping off the bed sitting onto the ground resting her back against the frame. 'You're so weak!'
She let her forehead rest against her knees closing her eyes listening to the wind. It was soothing to her ears, soft wind whisping through the air.
Her eyes started the drop her shoulders slumping. The heat of the room didn't help her at all, she dozed off unaware of someone watching. Neo had turned over to watch the other as she fell asleep at the foot of her bed, truth be told she felt bad for Emerald. Having to take care of her when she couldn't.
Injuries made from dumb mistakes, nightmares made from past regrets. Emerald was always there to hold her hand, even if she was always by Cinders side. She was more on Neo's side than Cinder.
With Cinder being injured from a certain silver eyed girl she stayed with Salem. While the three stayed in a warehouse not to far on the outskirts of Haven.
"What's your name?"
Neo sat up slowly making sure that emerald was still asleep. "Yeah you can't talk right. Sorry. Hm."
Neo reached forward nearly touching Emerald, she back tracked pulling the hand away. "You know you remind me of that ice cream. What was it called. Neopoltin, Neo. How about that?"
'Thank you Emerald.' She thought slipping by the girl grabbing a bag quickly packing her things. She glanced back at the sleeping girl smiling. 'He saved me. But you put me back together.' She let her hand touch the dresser before she left the room closing the door slowly. 'I will always love you. But I must leave, for you might get hurt.'
A small ring was left on said dresser left to be found when Emerald awoke.

Phew... took me awhile to figure out what to do for these two, and I am debating on doing another one where Emerald finds Neo a few years later. *shrugs.* Let's just see where all these one-shots take me.
