So stand in the rain
Stand your ground
Stand up when it's all crashing down... You stand through the pain
You won't drown
And one day, whats lost can be found
You stand in the rain... ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ±: . : ± : . : ± : . : ±☽ "If you would to redo all that... then you wouldn't have met me..." Emma muttered under her breath. She was silent again before she stared at her hand for a moment "Back at the labs, everyone did their best not to get to know any other subjects... because it was pretty likely that they would either become insane or die in war." she started. "Despite that, I ended up becoming friends with three other subjects, we were all in the same squad together whenever we would go out to fight. We all came to the labs at around the same time so I remember them more than I do my own flesh and blood. They were my family basically..." she dropped her hand and looked at the horizon "We formed a pact eventually. One day we would escape that hell together. We would be free and live life to the fullest side by side. It sounded amazing when we first thought about it. That dream was in our heads for a long time. It was a glimmer of light while being tortured and while in battle and having blood and guts sprayed all over your body from people dying all around you. Eventually it began to fade. They began to love killing. I began to love killing. We were becoming what the people who made us wanted: a mindless killer. I was close to being consumed in that but then I looked around one day at the others while we were battling the humans..." Emma frowned then as she recalled it "The look on their faces... the light that I saw in their eyes when we made that pact was basically gone. They just... the way they looked..." she rubbed her eyes. "It was like a nightmare. My allies were making up games: how to kill others in the slowest and most painful ways as possible... how loud can you get your victim to scream before they die... Seeing them act like that and completely forgetting about our dream... It scared me enough to keep a small part of the real me in tact while watching the others fall further down." she moved her hand from her eyes "One other friend of mine had saved a small part of himself as well... together we continued planning out a way to escape as well as a way to get the others to snap out of it. We all still liked killing though. I would be lying if I said I didn't... It was such an exhilarating feeling..." she shook her head then "Finally, that night came. We started our escape. It seemed like we talked the others into it as well. I thought I saw the light come back into their eyes... they wanted to give up the life of a killer to live freely. They were lying though." Emma paused suddenly. She was silent for a few moments as she looked at the grass "I got separated from them during the escape. There were mindless subjects running everywhere, killing each other, themselves, the ones who hurt us... Finally I did find them..." she trailed off again. "V... the one who was like me... I saw him first but with my friend's arm through his chest. He killed V... Because he gave up that dream to be a free, a dream that was right in front of him. I was expecting him and the other two to kill me... but they left me with my dying friend and a burning lab..." she took a breath as she finished for the most part. "They thought killing made you stronger... that isn't it though." Emma's hair flared up slightly "I don't know what does make you stronger but killing and being chained up isn't it. It isn't." She put a hand on her head "So don't start thinking that being locked up again in the arenas and killing people will make you stronger... if anything you will only lose who you are and that isn't how freedom works." ☾± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ±: . : ± : . : ± : . : ±

Never Again...Herald listened to Emma's story silently. She would be unable to see his expression because he was looking away. As she finished her story he growled angrily. "The chains ARE what held me back!" He told her as he turned his head to look at her, an angry expression on his face. "They were what I wanted to be free from! Not the fighting! How do you think I became as strong as I am? It wasn't through making friends!" He stood up, looking down at her. "Your friends lost themselves because they were weak. They couldn't handle the amount of power they were given. And it's because it was given to them. They didn't earn it! They deserved to lose themselves." He finished his last statement with a growl, practically seething as his wavelength flared slightly. Will I be bound in chains

She stood up, sharply glaring up at him as her wavelength flared up, singing the grass around her. "I was in the same boat as them. Am I weak then?! Do I deserve to lose myself too?!" she asked. She didn't wait for him to reply and turned to walk back to the fortress "Don't talk like you were there." she said as she walked away, rubbing the back of her neck. ☾± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ± : . : ±: . : ± : . : ± : . : ±

Never Again...Herald looked away again as Emma replied and began to walk off. His face was once again hidden from her, but the tree he was standing by suddenly exploded into splinters, the branches collapsing to the ground in a heap. He grit his teeth, but stayed silent, not replying to Emma's statement. Will I be bound in chains

☽ Emma didn't stop walking when she heard the tree explode. She walked until getting into the fortress, white fire swirled around her and Emma returned to her normal form. She walked through the fortress, just walking. She didn't care if she got lost due to how big the place was. "I shouldn't have told him..." she muttered to herself. Not only did what he said about her old allies upset her but also the fact that he gave a vague response about changing things so he could be back in the arenas. Did that mean he didn't care about her then? She frowned and adjusted her scarf as she walked through the halls. Eventually, she stopped and decided to go into one of the rooms. She shut the door behind her and glanced around before sitting down against a wall and resting her head on her knees. ☾

As Emma looked around the room, she would sense a strange presence watching her. It was coming from behind a closet door that was cracked open slightly. Though there was no sound, Emma would be able to tell that there was something there.

☽ Emma's ears twitched slightly as she felt the presence. She looked up towards the closet door that was across the room. She stood up and cautiously walked over to the closet, one hand was on the dagger that was on her side as she grabbed the door and opened it. ☾

As Emma opened the door a boy would be on the other side. He suddenly jumped backwards against the wall when he saw her dagger Matt "W-who are you!?" He asked her in alarm. "How did you find this place? What are you doing here? Are you going to kill me?" He watched her wide-eyed and though he was obviously scared, he still had a flash of resistance in his eyes, ready to fight or run if he felt he had to.

☽ Emma blinked in surprise as she saw the boy. She smelled the air for a moment and watched him. He didn't seem dangerous. She pulled out her dagger and tossed it to the side of the room before kneeling down across from him. "It's alright, I won't hurt you. Sorry, you just surprised me, that's all... I didn't know there was someone else here..." she said with a small smile. She held up both of her hands and lowered her wavelength so he knew she wouldn't hurt him. "My name is Emma. You?" she asked as she moved her arms back down. Her ears swiveled slightly as she looked at him. ☾

00SpiritedAway00 Bet you didn't see that coming! Matt The boy was still on edge despite Emma's actions though he did seem a little calmer now. "My name? How do I know you're cool enough to know my name? Well...you're kinda pretty so I guess you can know it. I'm Matt." He was no longer pressed back against the wall as he looked at her eye-level now that she was kneeling down. "What are you doing here?" He asked her again, still wary.

☽ Emma muffled a small laugh at Matt as he tried to determine whether or not to give her his name. "Nice to meet you." she said before he asked what she was doing there. "Um..." she thought for a moment "Well... I was just walking and I ended up in this room. I thought this would be a good spot to rest for a little bit." she said. "Now it is your turn. What are you doing here, Matt?" she asked. ☾

☽ Emma looked around "You live in a closet?" she asked as her ears twitched again. She looked down at Matt "Like I said, I was just walking and I ended up here... I don't know if there is some sort of magical stuff going on or what..." she said as she sighed and her ears pinned back slightly. Man this place is confusing. she thought. "I guess I am lost now." the cat girl sulked. ☾

Matt Matt narrowed his eyes, thinking she was making fun of him. "No I don't live in a closet. I live in this whole place," he told her. He raised an eyebrow when she told him that she had walked here. "How come I've never seen you before then? How long have you been here?" He asked. He gave a small laugh when she said she was lost. "Why not go back out the way you came? Besides, it's okay. I know my way around."

☽ Emma raised an eyebrow "You live in a huge place like this? Why the flip were you in a closet then?" When Matt continued to question her, she shrugged "I kind of wasn't paying attention to where I was going..." she told Matt. Her stomach growled "Dang it... I knew I should have stopped by the kitchen..." she muttered as she fell to the side and laid on the ground while staring at Matt still. ☾
