Mount Olympus [10]

Emma

I swallow, studying Niki as she glances at me and motions me towards her slowly. I don't move and her eyes somehow lock into mine, causing me to take a step fowards.

Jag

I move with Emma, not allowing her out of my arms. Dad keeps his distance cautiously, glancing around before focusing back on Niki's eyes.

"Niki, whatever's happening inside, remember your pups," he tells her. "Overcome it, for them. For Elijah."

Emma

She blinks, whispering something to me. I swallow and my eyes widen before I glance at Kol.

Jag

I force Emma to look back at me, Elijah and River catching up to him and shoving him around to cut the tie, "Em. No. Whatever you're thinking. No."

Emma

My eyes go red and I look back at Jag, somehow not able to breathe.

Jag

I panic and scoop her up, rushing her outside and lying her down. Dropping at her side, I take her face in my hands and order her to relax, "S'okay, Em. Please, breathe. Please."

Emma

I bring my hands through my throat and try to breathe in, choking.

Jag

I tilt her neck back and hold her close, scrambling for something to help her with.

Emma

I close my eyes, my heart beating faster, "J-Jag."

Jag

"What do I do?" I whimper, holding her closer. "What do I do?"

Emma

I open my eyes again, not able to speak, and cough.

Jag

As a last effort, I bite into my wrist and press her lips against it, hoping this might help.

Emma

I close my eyes and breathe in, letting go of my throat and sucking the blood from his wrist.

Jag

I stroke her hair back while she feeds, letting her take as much as she wants and staying close.

Emma

I pull back and breath heavily, looking up at the sky and swallowing.
