Chapter 9: Stop Her Pain

Emily

I was walking around. I finished daddy's picture. I was waiting for him to see it so I decided to explore.

I saw a dark portion. It was too creepy. I needed to know my home. I sighed and leaned against the wall. Am I really going to go in their? A monster can be in there.

I heard a girl coughing. I sighed and walked down the hall slowly. I used my hands to guide me.

I came to a small light. I ran to it. I saw my daddy holding a girl by her throat. She was trying to get air. He let her go. The girl took deep breaths, trying to breathe. I backed away from daddy. I was scared. He was about to take away a life. I wanted mommy. I wanted Rena.

Daddy turned around, as if he was leaving. He saw me in the corner. I was holding my arms and trying to make myself unseeable.

"Ohhhh, Emily. What's wrong honey?" He asked me.

"Get away from me!" I shouted as he was getting closer.

"It's okay Emmy. I had to teach her a lesson. She wanted to make sure you never see your daddy again." He said.

"Don't listen to him Emily. He isn't your dad. He doesn't want to protect you in a good way. He only wants Jayden dead." She said to me. I should trust her…..something is telling me to….but daddy is my daddy. He wouldn't lie to me. He loves me, I love him. I ran to daddy and grabbed onto his leg, clearly showing who I chose.

"No! Emily! Please." The girl begged.

"Daddy, can you sleep with me, I'm scared." I asked.

"Of course sweetie. Don't worry. I'll protect you until the day I die." He said to me. He kissed the top of my head. He started to lead me away. The girl kept calling my name.

He picked me up and put me in my bed. I felt sleepy. Daddy smiled as he moved some hair from my face. I smiled.

He tickled my belly. I giggled.

Serena

I was doing my own search for my little sister. I was in the woods. It was getting dark out. I knew I should go inside but I want Emmy back.

I hear her giggle. It was so cute. I remembered it ever since I heard it. She had 1 giggle for tickling and 1 giggle for laughing.

This was her being tickled.

I followed the giggle. It led me to a cave. I walked in slowly.

Dekker

I heard footsteps. Lauren shouldn't be back now…It was too soon. Emily was sleeping now. She was sleeping. That made me feel safe. If it was an intruder I can hide her so no one knows that I have her. Knowing that this must be a ranger, if they see her they will take her away. She will then tell about the pink I have hidden away. I picked her up slowly and walked towards a gap. I jumped through and into the room where I had hidden the pink ranger.

"Emily….Em?" I heard a whisper.

Emily stirred.

How did she know where we were?

"Emmy…Emily?" She said.

I covered Emily's mouth as soon as her eyes opened.

"Emily?"

She tried to push my hand away from her mouth.

I kept fighting.

She got my hand off her mouth.

"Rena!" She shouted.

Shoot! I only had this child for almost 2 days and she got herself revealed.

I looked around quickly for an exit. Trying to figure out what to do. I can't leave the pink ranger behind and I can't leave Emily.

I put her down and grabbed her arm. I unlocked the pink ranger and threw her over my shoulder. She was knocked out.

"RENA!" Emily shouted. I groaned.

"Useless brat" I muttered under my breath.

I pushed her towards the gap. Then the yellow ranger came in. Who is in the suit if I have the yellow ranger?

Serena

As soon as I saw a man with Emily AND Mia, I was angered. No one can touch them. I pulled out my sword and aimed it at the man.

"Let them go!" I commanded fiercely.

I looked at the man in front of me. He stared at me, as if I wasn't there. He was thinking.

"If I let her go I get to keep the young one." He said.

"That's not how it works. I get both of them, you get none." I snapped at him.

"This child is part nighlok. She needs to learn. You have no say in what I do with her. She is part nighlok, she is technically my sister, or niece you could call her." The man said.

"But she is my sister first. I will be taking her home. I will be taking both of them home." I said.

"But she is my niece. She needs to learn about the nighlok." He said. Whoever this guy is, he didn't want to give them up.

"I will let you give them up willingly, or I will destroy you." I threatened. He looked down at Emily. He let go of her arm and she ran to me. He smirked.

I picked her up and put her on my hips. I put her head into my shoulder and neck tightly. I kissed her forehead.

I let go of her and kept her on my hip. She looked behind me.

"LAUREN!" She shouted. I turned around and saw Lauren. Something seemed off about her. She walked towards me.

I backed away from her.

I hit a figure and turned. I saw the man. He grabbed me. Lauren grabbed Emily from my arms. Emily put her head on Laurens neck. He held me tight. He pushed me to the ground and chained me.

"Serena." Emily muttered.

"Take her back to bed." The man ordered.

Lauren carried her away.

The man kicked me. He then placed Mia next to me. He then left the same way Lauren left with Emily. He forgot one thing, my samuraizer.

Emily

I waited for everyone to be asleep. I want Rena.

I walked into the little area.

I saw Rena using a phone. I walked over to her and curled up in her lap. Daddy has been fun but I missed Rena. I loved Rena more than daddy.

She looked at me.

"Hey, Em, unlock my ankles, I can't reach." She said. I grabbed the keys and unlocked it.

She hugged me.

"Jayden, I found her. We're going to head home. Set up a place in the recovery room for Mia, she may be sick or hurt." She said. She picked me up and carried Mia. She carried me back to the house.

So this isn't the ending, clearly, I mean, we still have Lauren with Dekker so…

Christine, are you okay?
