BLOOD LEGACIES Novel Chapter 252: In The Wild {2}

Chapter 252: In The Wild {2}

I have always thought getting pricked by a needle or having a fall was the greatest pain ever. Ever since I was little I was cautious of anything that would cause

pain and my mom was weary of them because she knew how much I throw a tantrum about it. The slightest wound hurt so bad that I would barely be able to catch my breath... I thought that was all it was. But I was wrong...

This was by far the greatest pain I have ever felt, not a prick by a needle, the sight of my blood, or a fall... but the pain to the heart was far worse. Like a grip held onto it and squeezing it with no rcy, like my very heart was on fire. This... is... PAIN.

And I didn’t want it... because it hurts so much and my tears stated that aning perfectly. The last ti I cried as hard as this was when I left my mom at the airport, maybe this was far worse... a part of myself was missing.

"Emma"

I sobbed and pivoted my head to face Grayson who now stood beside

and then I hugged him and cried more until I was pretty sure I ran out of tears. His being here right now allowed

to unleash everything all at once, I just had to because keeping a pain as deep as this inside of you will kill you, there are many ways to let it out and I chose tears, not enough to heal it but to subdue it enough to release myself.

Grayson held

firm as I poured my heart to him, he was quiet and that was exactly what I needed, I just needed his presence and the comfort it has to offer, I couldn’t ask for more.

I was out of tears now, only my running nose as I pulled away and used the back of my hand to wipe it off. My gaze was leveled and I just stared at the ground in silence, he was yet to speak and so was I. But at the tip of my tongue, a sudden fire burned through my cheeks and then reached my words.

I raised my gaze to his calculative ones waiting for

to say sothing and I did with every courage I could offer. "I will not them take him away from "

I thought my voice would sound shaky or defeated but no... it sounded strong just like I want it to be because I ant every word I said, I didn’t care if the world didn’t want us to be together or if he was a Rogue and his human side gone or that the only way to find him back was for him to reject . Well... I refuse to let that be the end, I refuse to let that be the only solution, I will bring him back and tell him how much I love him.

"I will bring him back"

I darted my eyes to Emilia who walked towards us with a sad expression.

"I will find him," I said with gritted teeth. "And I will bring him back"

"Emma" Grayson began and I faced him.

"It’s not fair and I won’t take it," I said with stern eyes. "It’s okay if you don’t wanna be involved" I faced Emilia. "Are you with

or not?!"

"I’m with you"

"Good"

"You didn’t have to stay," I said facing Grayson as we walked through the woods.

"Well, it’s better than going back there" he divulged as he faced

with a smile. "Besides, I wanna help you... I know I have my theories about Skinwalkers and I’m not sure they will change but seeing you back there, crying like you lost a part of yourself hurts , and if bringing him back will make your pain go away then I’m down"

My eyes quivered at his words and unable to contain the feeling that surged through

so I faced ahead to compose myself.

"We’re both running away," I said and that was nothing but our current situation right now. I was avoiding my people and the werelions because they might take

back and keep

away from Dace. And Grayson didn’t wanna face his parents after finding the truth. We were both running away from reality. "That has a nice ring to it... the Runaways’’

He chuckled awry. "Your people don’t want you to be with soone you love, that sits well with why... And then there’s , I’m not prepared to face them yet" he shrugged. "And besides you need "

I smiled... my eyes on Emilia ahead leading us to one of the Cottage houses she told us was located in this area.

"So what’s going on with you and Emilia"

He misstepped and I faced him with wide eyes, did Grayson just slip? He cleared his throat and stood straight and I noticed his flushed cheeks may be chagrin.

"A-Are you okay?" I asked worriedly.

He cleared his throat again. "Yeah... Yeah, I’m fine, why did you ask that?"

"Well because both of you are acting funny and it’s way too suspicious"

He shrugged. "She saved

when Dace was on a rampage, that’s all"

"So you two t aside from school" I nodded. "That explains it "

"Explain what?!" he sounded hasty now and I narrowed my eyes at him like I was trying to catch him in so act, well I am.

"We’re here!" Emilia announced and we turned our attention to her. I gave him a brief look that clearly stated that ’We will finish this later,’ and he just rolled his eyes.

I faced ahead and finally caught the voice of the house and my eyes broadened at the re sight of it. "Whoa, It’s big!"

Before us was a two-story cottage house that blinded with the area, a perfect spot that you would hardly detect. A house as big as this was in this area? If soone told

that, I would definitely not believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

"Yeah... this one belongs to dearest brother, well the both of us, we got it built without my parent’s knowledge" she began as if reminiscing an old mory and I noticed as a bright smile found her lips. "Whenever we go on a run we stop by here to spend a few days," her eyes suddenly saddened but she cleared her throat quickly to snap out of it. "We will be safe here until we find Dace, everything we need is inside"

She was right alright! The perfect space that could hold a family or more and the interior was lavish, similar to their house back in town but kept in a more subdued design so as not to draw attention.

"Now that we’re simply runaways I think it’s best we make the best of it" she smirks. "There are three floors, Grayson you can take the one upstairs by your left," she said darting her eyes on him and there it was again.

Okay, I need answers because sothing was going on between these two and I was dying to know, but first I need to rest my head. The thing with Dace licking, the jumping, and the cries was a really long day for .

"Co on Emma I will show you Dace’s room"

"Thanks," I said with a smile.

Grayson was directed to the guest room which was not too far from Emilia’s room. Upstairs was way bigger too, with everything you need to survive for years maybe? The walls were all painted white and spotless.

"How do you guys get this place clean?" I ask.

"Well we barely stay here and whenever we do, nothing we can’t do ourselves"

I faced her.

"Co on we may be royalty but we can fend for ourselves"

I smiled. Hers fades.

"Aren’t you angry with ?"

"About what?"

"I’m the reason Dace turned Rogue" she exhaled sharply. "Because of what I said. If I had just run to him earlier then-"

"It’s not your fault," I said, leveling my gaze to the spotless floor. "Let’s just focus on getting him back okay?"

"Sure" she mumbled but her tone was downhearted. I wanted to say sothing but I thought it wasn’t a good idea.

"We’re here" she opened the door to a wide room. "Dace’s room"

I exhaled sharply, stepped in and took a deep whiff of the place. "It slls like him," I said with a small smile, the sa delicious scent I couldn’t get out of my head. As usual, the place was spotless, the bed was super wide but not as wide as his room back ho and this one didn’t have the wall glass for the view of the forest, just a really wide window. Wardrobe, sofas and a Tv.

"Wow"

"Nice right?"

I nodded. "It reminds

of him," I said, rubbing my arms as I faced her. "It’s nice"

She nodded in understanding. "I will leave you alone, call

if you need anything," she said, backing away before closing the door behind her.
