Well, here is part two, enjoy :3

[…]

Emma was glad that she could sneak out while Sam and Dean had fallen asleep pretty early and she could take a walk in the nearby forest. It was odd, but they deserved a little break. Emma couldn't stand being so close to Sam. She had no idea how to fix this situation. She had lied to him and it wasn't the first time that she had done it. No wonder he was so mad at her. Emma felt how she tore up again. 'Exactly this was the reason why I never wanted to have partners. Or a human being so close to me. I just disappoint them…'

"I thought they would never leave you alone."

Emma turned around in surprise. "Jiva…" A thunder broke through the night and a demon was standing near to Emma. A second thunder made Emma cringe and another demon appeared. "Oh awesome, you managed to summon two of those annoying bugs, congratulations." Emma said calm but inside she felt how she got scared. How powerful had Jiva become meanwhile?

"Yet you still cringe when you hear this." Jiva said, letting another thunder hear and another demon appeared. "You know, I can play this partygame every time you breathe in. Like now." Again a really loud thunder broke through the silence and a demon stood right in front of Emma. Surprised she stepped backwards. "I see you enjoy the show." The last crack of thunder was the loudest and let three demons appear. "You know… It could be so much easier. Just surrender and we can save us a lot pain. Well, you at least."

"Is that all?" Emma tried to sound strong, but her voice was shaky.

"Oh Emma. Don't tell me you wouldn't love to be normal. Having such a destiny must suck." Emma frowned but didn't say a word. But Jiva had recognized that Emma reacted on this. "You got no idea what I'm talking about, do you?" Suddenly the demon closest to Emma attacked her. Emma could dodge the demon and kicked him away from her. The second demon attacked and Emma grabbed her gun and shot it. All those attempts were useless, it just got Emma some minutes of time and she knew she was helpless. "I thought after I told you about our bound you would do this little hunter research thing your kind of people love to do. No wonder it is so easy for me." Jiva laughed. "Get her, demons." Emma had no choice, fought her way through the demons and started to run.

[-]

Emma had problems breathing, it was just too much for her. "What, are you tired?" Jiva said, but sounded exhausted too.

"Bite me." Emma said. All the training had finally paid off. Not only that Emma could get rid of the demons, but she also had surprised Jiva with her attacks.

"If you let me close enough I will." Jiva grinned. Emma collected all power she had inside to start another attack. Jiva didn't expect another attack already and Emma could hit her good.

The girl smiled. "You don't even have the power to flee anymore, do you?" Emma said winded.

"Hgnnn… You wish…" Jiva answered, trying to get up. Emma's wounds dyed her clothes red and the blood of the injury on her head was running all over her face and dripped into her mouth. The metallic taste irritated her, but she kept focusing. "I'm so close to… get you." Jiva whispered and finally got up.

"Oh really? I don't think we are on the same page here." Emma felt the burn of her open wounds everywhere, every time her chest moved from the breathing she felt the pain.

"You little… Damn you." Jiva vanished. Emma collapsed, grabbed her phone and called Sam.

"Emma?Wherethehellareyou?" Sam sounded pissed.

"I- I don't know…"

Sam hesitated. "Areyouokay?"

"N- not quite." Emma answered and felt how she couldn't fight the tiredness that was growing in her body.

"What… Whereareyou?Describetomewhereyouare!"

"Uhm… There are trees. I ran… It's near a forest, it's a field… But with trees. I- I don't see any houses… Sam… I'm so tired."

"Weareonourway.Whathappened?" Emma smiled a bit. Sam sounded so worried. She missed that so much when he was mad at her. "Staywithme!" Sam continued when he didn't receive an answer from the girl.

"It was Jiva, I don't know. There were demons and…" Emma closed her eyes and got quiet.

"Emma!Comeon,stayawake.Whatwasgoingon?Demons?"

"I'm so tired, Sam. I- I'm bleeding. It hurts like hell."

"Didtheyattackyou?Aretheystillaround?" Emma could hear the sound of the Impala and Dean who constantly talked to Sam, but she couldn't hear what he said.

"I- I don't know, they stopped following me, I might…" Emma again closed her eyes. "Can't I just close my eyes and you talk to me? I will stay awake, promise." Emma said.

"Youcanrestaslongasyouwantwhenwefoundyou,okay?Shutup,Dean." Emma smiled again. "Isittheforestinthenorth?"

"Mhm." Emma was so exhausted, so tired, her body became so heavy.

"Okay,whereisJiva?" Emma lay down on the field with her eyes closed. "Emma!WhereisJiva?" Sam got impatient. He was really scared that she would just fall asleep while they tried to find her.

"Uhm… I got her good." Emma paused. "Heh, she vanished."

"Watchoutforher,shecanalwayscomeback.ShutupDean,shutup!" Dean apparently wanted to know what Emma was talking about, but Sam was too busy to ask questions to keep Emma awake.

"No, no, I really hurt her well, she is totally down."

"Whereareyouhurt?"

"Sam, I can't anymore." The girl felt how a tear ran down her face.

"Staywithus,youcandoit.Wheredidyourunto?"

"I- I don't know…"

"Try!"

"Sam, really, I don't know…" Emma tried hard to focus, but it was really exhausting.

"Okay,again,whereareyouhurt?"

"Uhm, my head… I feel the blood… Felt it during the fight… And… My ribs, my arms… It burns everywhere." Emma heard the sound of closing doors and apparently the two were running now.

"Weareattheforest.Isthereanythingyouremember?" Sam still tried to sound calm while he was running. Emma closed her eyes. Her head pulsed and hurt so much. "Emma,comeon."

"Burningmarks,look." Emma heard Dean yell.

"Yeah, one went up in flames, tricked Jiva good there to attack her own minions." Emma couldn't believe to what she was actually able to do. This one time she didn't screw up. Not that much, that is.

"Okay.Canyougetup?Canyoumakeanynoisessowefindyoufaster?" Emma sat up, but she got dizzy.

"I can try…"

"Dothat." Emma put the phone shortly aside and took a deep breath.

"SAM! DEAN!" She yelled and felt how close she was to faint. The Winchesters were quiet when Emma took the phone again, apparently running while trying to locate where the yell came from. "D- did you hear it?" Emma asked.

"Yeswedid.Wewillbethereinaminute.Oneminute,okay?Canyoustayawaketillthen?"

Emma still sat up, but closed her eyes again. "I guess…"

"Youareawesome,really."

"Heh…"

"Noreally.Youaresostrong.Wearealmostthere!" Emma opened her eyes and vaguely saw someone running to her. She blinked and tried to figure out who came there.

"Emma!" The girl recognized Dean's voice right away. Within seconds he was with her, kneeling down. "Shit…" Was all he could say.

"Yeah, that's pretty much my current situation and how I feel." Emma smiled slightly. Dean grabbed Emma and carried her while she put her head against Dean's shoulder. "I'm sorry, all the blood."

"No problem, you can wash it later." Dean answered with a joke, trying to hide how worried he was. Sam finally reached them and stared at Emma.

"S- Sam."

"It's okay. You can rest now." He said, stroking over her head.

"Sam… I know it's way too late but I'm sorry, I'm so sorry…"

"Shh, not now."

"I should've told you a long time ago. I was so stupid."

"No, no… I shouldn't have been so stubborn…" Sam said and sounded guilty.

"Y- you sound like – Ugh." Emma grimaced over the pain.

"Shut up finally, you can rest now." Dean commanded softly.

"Sam, this wasn't your fault…" Sam didn't answer and watched how Emma finally fell asleep… or fainted. He ran his fingers through his hair.

"But damn you think it's your fault." Dean said.

"Shut up." When they reached the Impala they put Emma on the backseats and while Dean drove Sam constantly stared back to Emma and watched her how she suffered from her wounds.

[-]

Emma was lying on Sam's bed while Sam tried to clean her wounds. He didn't use any alcohol yet so she wouldn't wake up. Dean just came back from grocery shopping. "Did she wake up?" Sam shook his head, still focusing on Emma. "Dude, it wasn't your fault." Sam didn't react. "Oh come on, it's not like we could control when Jiva appears."

"Shut up." Dean rolled his eyes, grabbing Sam's arm and pulling him away from Emma.

"I surely don't want this to become one of those 'It's all my fault' things and you going all emo, okay?"

"But it was my fault! Hell, only because I had to be all pissed at her I let her alone. I let her down when she needed me!" Sam became angry.

"But it was her fault! She didn't tell you in first place and when she finally did she still had to do her own thing and solo'd all the time."

"Because of me! Because I didn't give her a chance at all. I acted all like a freaking teenager girl that wouldn't forgive nor forget."

"Yes you did, but so did she."

"Hngh…" The brothers looked at Emma and Sam walked quickly to her, sitting on the bed. She slowly opened her eyes and grimaced right away. "Oh fuck…" Emma sat up and the blanket moved. She felt that it was cold and realized she was sitting there in her bra. She took the blanket to cover herself again. "Uh…"

"Lie down again." Sam commanded.

"Everything hurts." She said. "A- and… Can I get something to drink?" Sam got up to get her a glass of water. Dean and Emma looked at each other shortly, before Sam handed her the glass so she could drink.

"We might just get you one of those kidfinders so we can spot you faster." Dean said, leaning against the table.

"Maybe." Emma answered and put the glass on the nightstand.

"Lie down." Sam repeated.

"I'm an idiot."

"Yes you are, do what you are commanded." Dean tried to enforce Sam's command.

"I- I mean… For not telling you guys right away."

"Yeah, yeah, you said that. Come on, lie down." Sam couldn't say anything so Dean did that for him.

"B- but-"

"Is it so hard to obey? We accept it, but only if you listen to us now." Finally Emma did so.

"Can I start cleaning your wounds?" Emma nodded. Dean felt a bit useless, turned around and sat at the table, surfing on the internet for… stuff. "Uhm…" Sam hesitated shortly and Emma frowned. "I have to put the blanket away…" He said quietly.

"Yeah, I guessed that…"

"I mean, I don't want you to feel uncomfortable or anything."

"It's not helping when you talk so long about it, you know?" Dean had to smile slightly, but didn't take the look from the laptop. Sam put the Blanket away and started to clean Emma's wounds with sanitizer. "Oww…"

"It's necessary."

"I knooow." Emma said but still kept on screwing her face while Sam cleaned. "Not sure what's worse, the actual damage or the…" Emma paused and made a noise. "No, definitely this…"

"Why didn't you call earlier?" Dean asked, still focusing the laptop.

"I was a bit busy keeping the demons away from me. Oww, damnit."

"How many were there?"

"Seven. Jiva had gained quite power. I- ouch!" Sam didn't say a word and just continued. "Guess this is the punishment, eh? Hehe… Crap, gnh."

"It's the normal after hunt treatment, you should get used to that." Dean responded.

"I guess." Emma sighed.

"No you don't need to get used to this." Sam suddenly said. "Sit up, I have to bandage it."

Emma did what she got told and frowned. "What? You think I will never get hurt again?"

"I will call Bobby later so he can pick you up. He will agree on what I'm going to suggest him." Sam said calm and Dean finally turned to them.

"Suggest what?" Dean and Emma said almost at the same time.

"No hunting."

"Wait what? Are you insane?"

"You need someone to back you up when you are hunting alone." Dean said.

"Surely not her." Sam answered cold. "Hold still." Emma squirmed and sat on the other side of the bed. "Get back here, don't act like a kid."

"I- I don't act like one, so you can stop acting like my mum." Emma said upset.

"Really? You think you can do everything alone and then you end up totally beaten up, bleeding everywhere and almost dying. And yet you still want to hunt? You have to grow up a lot more before you can even think about hunting again." Sam grumbled.

"I don't need to listen to th-" Emma had gotten up while talking and now collapsed on the floor. Sam and Dean were quickly at her. Sam wanted to help her up, but Emma wouldn't let him and got up herself, clearly in pain. "You are not in charge of how I live my life!"

"Yes I am, cause you apparently aren't able yourself!" Emma went to get her T-shirt and put it on, then she was looking for her trousers. "What are you doing?"

"I don't know! I- I just want to get out of here!" Emma tried to sound strong but she didn't feel strong, neither physically or mentally.

"Okay, this is getting out of hand. Sam, a word." Sam got up, took the keys and went outside, so did Dean. Then Sam locked the door behind them. Emma slid on the ground and tore up. She wished badly that she could go back in time to do everything better than she actually did.

[-]

"You can't do that!"

"You can't do that either!" Sam answered angrily.

"What?" Dean got confused.

"You are just using Emma so you feel less guilty that you leave me alone! But I won't let this happen! She obviously isn't ready to be in a team with someone!"

"Maybe cause she doesn't trust anyone but Bobby. Because we weren't the best example for her yet. We never showed her how we would trust her or that she could fully trust us. Of course she doesn't tell us stuff." Dean explained.

"She didn't tell Bobby either." Sam responded, which made Dean hesitate. "See? She could've told him to help her, but she didn't."

"Maybe because he would've reacted like you do now!" They were some steps away from the motel door. "Fine, when you don't want to be family for her then I will become it for her! If she goes back to Bobby's I will be staying with her!"

"This is not about becoming a family!"

"Yes it is! That's all Emma wants. That's why she wants to be with us, that's why she is doing all the shitty stuff we ask her to do. That's why she is so attached to Bobby, cause he is all she got! And we just started to build up something like a relationship and you're ruining everything!" Sam didn't know what to say. Because Dean was right. She never trusted them enough to tell how she felt about losing John Winchester. But she tried to be part of them all the time. Every time when Sam called her to ask for information or to do them a favor she didn't moan one time. She just did it. She was hurt so much when Sam died and then she couldn't even be with them on any hunts because it hurt her to see Dean constantly, when he would die soon. Sam turned around and went back to the motel room. "Sam!" But he didn't react and went inside, where Emma was lying on the bed, covered with the blanket and had her eyes closed.

"A- are you done now?" She asked weak without opening her eyes. Sam sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Are you all right?" He asked confused. Just a minute ago Emma wanted to flee.

"I don't know… I feel hot." She answered, barely using her voice and Sam put his hand on her forehead.

"You got a mild fever." He answered. Dean entered the motel room too and rose his eyebrow.

"What did Bobby say?" Emma asked.

"I didn't call him yet. We can discuss this when you are recovered again, okay?" Emma nodded and rolled to the side. She felt so damn sleepy. Just a moment later she actually fell asleep. "It is probably too much for her body and she got a fever cause the body overheated, working on recovering her." Sam said.

"I'm really used to have her around." Dean said.

"Yeah… Me too." Sam petted Emma and then got up. "We can't stay here for long, we have to get her in a better condition so we can move away from here. From where Jiva knows she is."

"We have to find a way to get rid of her."

"Yeah… Running isn't the best solution. But I have no idea how to find a way to send Jiva to hell."

"What if… We ask someone? I mean, someone must know about Jiva."

"And who should we ask? Bobby isn't stupid, if he knows about her he knows that we ask in behalf of Emma." Sam said and looked at her. Then he lightened up. "I might got an idea."

[-]

Emma woke up. She still felt a bit dizzy. She looked around and saw Dean sleeping on the other bed. Where was Sam? Emma sat up and saw Sam on the floor, sleeping in the bedroll, which was way too short for him, even though he had it fully open and just used it as blanket. Emma smiled slightly. Good old days, where they just slept there, waiting for another monsterhunt. Emma glanced the window. It must be early morning, because the sun was peeking through the blinds, but not much. Emma got to the edge of her bed and immediately felt her pain. It had gotten better, but she felt that there was something wrong with her foot.

She got up, trying not to use the injured leg and limped to the bathroom, closed the door and turned the lights on. She looked horrible, but that was no surprise for her, she felt horrible and really weak. She lifted her shirt and looked at the damage Jiva did to her. Sam never got to bandage it. Emma turned around and looked at the backside of her legs and her back. She was mainly covered in bruises and some healing wounds. Her head didn't hurt at all, so whatever made her bleed so much was apparently no big deal. Emma turned back and looked at her reflection. Suddenly Emma felt weak and clutched to the sink. After that she decided to go back to bed, she wasn't even close to be fully recovered. While Emma crawled into her bed Dean woke up. "What's wrong?" He asked confused.

"Nothing, sorry."

Dean sat up and looked at her. "He won't send you back to Bobby, I promise." Emma didn't answer. "I won't let you go back there. You are hunting with us now, end of story."

"If Sam wants to… He can do it, I can't do anything against that." Emma answered weak.

"Sure you can."

"Sam always just wanted my best. He might be right." Emma lay down and turned her back to Dean. He himself couldn't do anything but going back to sleep too. Sam opened his eyes shortly.
