After Rey's and Finn's funeral, Ember was just like an empty, hollow person. She had just stood there watching as her sister's casket was lowered. She just... looked at it. The only thing to show she wasn't a statue was the tears coming from her eyes.
She wouldn't move. Her adoptive parents allowed her to be there to mourn after everyone left the service. Poe was watching her as she stood there. It was pouring rain by now. But she still just stood there.
She was just not moving.
Before he could move to check on her, she moved to walk away. He saw someone in a uniform that people who were working at the cemetery were all wearing. Most likely watching to see if she was done so they can finish their job.
She walked over to Poe, who wrapped her up in his coat. But she didn't even feel the chill. She was numb to it and to the world around her. She just wanted to wake up from this nightmare. She just was... just.
Poe took her away to a hotel for the night. She just showered and went to bed.

After a few months after the death of her sister, Ember was finally out of her cast, and back home. Poe kept visiting her, in fact the two were starting a relationship. It started with a kiss while she was drinking.
Every now and then he would come over to be with her. Even taking her out and about. But today she was on her own. She even goes on the subway to make a farther trip. She was wanting to be around people. She went to the farmers market for peace but was on her way home right now.
Ember held onto the bar of the subway, she had ear buds in her ear as she listened to music. Her face blank, but she did feel like eyes were on her.
She looked around her to see if anyone was looking at her. She noticed someone facing her, but they had a hoodie on with the hood up, so half of their face was hidden from her view. Ember quickly looked away.
She saw the next stop was coming up, so she got her pepper spray ready in her jacket pocket as she went to the door. Even turning her music off so she could hear if someone was walking behind hind her.
She then got off the subway.
She waited as it went away from the station. When it was gone, she started walking again. She never looked behind her, not wanting to give any notion that she was feeling creeped out. That's when she felt her head get a sharp pain... just like that night.
That's when she was grabbed and pinned to a wall.
Her face was away from her attacker. She tried to fight them back, but soon she felt as if she was choking, but felt no hands or rope on her throat! Her heart started racing even more as she panicked even more then she had been.
"I will release your throat, but you can't speak." A faintly familiar voice told her. She nodded quickly wanting air. Soon, she was able to breathe again. She gasped for much needed air.
"You will not tell anyone about this. You will keep this between us, or else Poe will receive the same treatment your bitch of a sister got." The voice warned. Ember froze. "It's you... You killed my sister and Finn." Tears filled her eyes.
"I'm glad you remember me." He teased.
She started struggling again. Anger filling her. "You won't get away with this!" She spat at him.
"I'm not scared of a tiny little girl." He mocked her. "Why are you following me? Wanting to get rid of any lose ends?" She growled at him. "I will let you go. I want you to go to Miller's pub and grill tomorrow. You alert anyone, I will kill everyone there without missing a beat." He warned her.
With that being said she felt frozen there and wasn't able to move for a minute. When she was able to, she turned with her pepper spray but was shocked that no one was there. She looked around. No one seemed to have even been there at all.

Laying in bed with Momo asleep at her feet, Ember laid in bed looking at the ceiling. She wasn't able to sleep. She was scared. She was anxious. She was angry.
She was going to be face to face with her sister murderer tomorrow.
She was going to kill him.
