"Oh, so you don't like nosy people," Emerson mused, smiling before taking the last bite of her hotdog, chewing and swallowing. She paused a moment before nodding. "That's not honestly a big surprise, though. I don't like being questioned much either." She shrugged and balanced the cardboard holder that had kept the hotdog on her leg.
"Well of course you do. They're fucking annoying" Bones said and shook his head slightly. "Though honestly they probably don't last long enough to annoy me too much" he said and shrugged slightly. "Though that's most just people trying to figure out what slash who I am" he said. He finished up his hot dog as well and set the cardboard aside. He sighed softly and looked over at Emerson with a small smile. "What's your favorite food?"
"I like soups." Emerson laughed softly, brushing hair out of her face after a cld breeze blew it. "Or stuff with rice in it. Light food." She tilted her head at Bones before flickering her gaze to a couple with a small baby, sighing then looking back to the demon. "What do you like to eat?"
Bones shrugged slightly, "I don't know, like a lot of things. Though I probably prefer meat over anything else if I'm being honest" he said and shrugged again before looking in the direction she had before. "You want kids" he asked a few moments later. He didn't know if she'd actually even seen the couple but well now he was curious. He looked back over at her and smiled small.
Emerson nodded at Bones' answer, her chin still tilted upwards when he asked her about kids. It kind of shocked her, and she realized she could have been caught staring at the three across the park. "Well... I used to, but the whole thing with Kylist kind of ruined the possibility of them, I think. I'm afraid that..." She trailed off, biting her lower lip. "I'm afraid that the legion would find and kill any children I have." She didn't mention that she had once had the stupid idea of actually mothering Kylist's spawn, because now that seemed terrifying.
Bones nodded slightly "Yeah I guess that makes sense. Though I suppose as long it's not a demon's baby they won't really care" he said and shrugged slightly. "I don't really know if I want kids. I mean I raised my brother and sister since they were about two or one, that didn't exactly end well" he said, though as far as he knew she still didn't know the story of how he killed his brother.
"No, I think they would just murder it out of spite or punishment. Maybe both. Use it as leverage." Emerson shook her head, running her fingers through the grass a few times. She almost slipped up and told Bones that she knew how bad it had ended for his brother, but remembered how terrible Jacqueline had reacted and blanched. "Your sister seems to have turned out good enough." She couldn't imagine how her brothers would react to her wanting kids, but they had given up the right to an opinion when they left her to tot with Kylist.
Bones nodded slightly, "Yeah I guess" he said and shrugged slightly before looking at her. "And I'm sure if you ever had kids they'd be fine, you're pretty good at protecting yourself, I'm sure you'd do the same for a child" he said and smiled small. He didn't know to much about the legion, other then they were compete dicks.
"Thanks. I hope I would be able to." Emerson sat up straighter then, gathering their plates and making to stand. "Want to walk around a little? Or go somewhere else?" Even though she had moved to go get their food just a few minutes before, she was itching to walk again. Maybe it was because she was nervous or something, she didn't know.
"Eh, maybe" Bones said and shrugged slightly before pushing himself onto his feet and nodding slightly, "Yeah let's walk around" he said with a smile and took her hand before walking over towards the less populated part of the park. He hated people so the farther way from them the better. "Did you ever think you'd end up where you are? When you were younger I mean"
Emerson paused to toss the plates into a nearby trash bin, considering Bones' question. "You mean with my shop and all?" She chewed on the inside of her cheek. "It was probably a dream from a long time ago, but I always figured I would stay in the charge with the legion, as boring as it sounds." She only remembered bit and pieces of what had led to her rebelling and hooking up with Kylist, mostly because she had shut memories out, but it wasn't pretty. "What about you?"
Bones shrugged slightly, "Yeah I guess" he said and smiled small. "Though honestly I didn't really think I'd live this long" he said and chuckled softly. "I mean I'm a good fighter and all but I have a lot of enemies...... so I just figured that would have caught up with me already" he said.
"Well, I personally, am glad you have lived long enough to be such an old, old demon," Emerson teased, a smirk forming on her lips. "Otherwise I wouldn't have met you, of course." It was also probably good that she had made it as well, though more than once she wished she had died in the war or Kylist had just offed her.
Bones chuckled softly and nodded, "Yeah I guess that is a good thing" he said, talking about them meeting. He was really glad they meet, kind of got him out of a rut. Sure he loved killing people, but it was getting so easy that it was starting to get boring. He probably wouldn't ever stop, but at least now he had something else going on that he enjoyed about as much. ((Want to skip now, or after a while longer?))
((I can do either. Your choice.))
((Umm...... lets just skip. How much into the future should it be? Few Weeks? Months?))
((Hmm... Maybe a month or two? And we're skipping to just before or right about when his father comes in, right?))
((Yeah around that time yeah. So two months? Weird question, but uh... should they have had ..... sex by then or should we actually play that out at some point?))
((I'm totally not cracking up right now /lie. Uhh we can play that out later? Or whatever; I really don't care :P))
(( Ha-Ha. Ummm okay, we can play it out later then. Want to start us off then?))
Decked in an oversized sweater and jeans that dwarfed her chilled feet, Emerson sat atop -literally on top- of her shop's counter, a large bowl nestled in the space centering her crossed legs, surrounding her a bunch of smaller bowls. The big one held a ton of assorted wild winter flowers and herbs, which she was sorting into the smaller sections for later preserving. It was a few days after winter solstice, and outside a few snowflakes dropped onto the already-covered sidewalk, reminding Emerson of her favorite season.
Bones looked around his house for a moment before letting out a sigh and smiling over at Copper. "Want to go for a ride girl" he asked. Copper answered by quickly shifting into a tabby cat and then jumping up into his arms. "Good girl" he said and laughed softly as he lightly scratched her behind the ears. Then he grabbed his keys and walked out of his house, he set Copper inside and let her find her own seat before climbing into the driver's and starting the car. An oldish looking man walked into the shop and smiled at the young lady standing on the counter. "Hello, I was wondering if you could help me with something" he said and walked over to her, three men in dark suits walking into the store behind them. All of them were seemingly human though, no power level to speak of, well not one that could be sensed anyway.
It was an effort to not drop the smaller bowl -filled with simple paintbrush flowers- Emerson had picked up as tall, large men entered her shop. Well, tall and large in comparison to her anyway. She set the bowl down softly and scooted off the counter and stayed behind it, keeping the desk between her and the suited men. "Sure, what can I help you with?" It was hard not to be wary of newcomers -as Bones had pointed out before, she didn't get much traffic- but she tried to keep the calculating look from her face. Maybe not demons, maybe just business men? She couldn't tell the species, which bothered her greatly.
The oldish man smiled kindly, almost looked as if he's never done a mean thing in his life. "My wife is having trouble with her garden" he said and chuckled softly. "I swear everything she tries to grow dies" he said and laughed softly before lightly leaning against the counter. "Do you have something here that could help...... without her knowing about it?" he asked. "Rather her just feel the pride of a job well done then that she cheated ya know" he said and shrugged slightly. The three men in black suits kind of spread out a long the shop almost as if they are body guards or something.
Emerson nodded slowly along the older man's words, biting the inside of her cheek while she thought about it all the while keeping her eyes flicking from one suited man to the next, then back to the customer of the foursome. "You mean something that you can sneak into her garden without being found later?" she affirmed, again glancing at one of the larger men. It was almost as if they were guards for the one who had made the request, and they made her nervous, though the only show of it was her fingers lightly tapping against her thigh. "I can try... Can you be more specific of the troubles she's having?" she managed, looking back up at the one who had approached her counter.
The man chuckled "I really have no idea what the problem is. Don't know much about gardening myself" he said and smiled kindly again. "Just know that a week after she plants something it's dead. Don't know what she does but it is" he said and sighed softly. "And yeah I was think maybe some kind of potion I could like put on them to get them form dying. I don't know much about this stuff" he said. Bones pulled to a stop next to the curb outside of Emerson shop. He killed the engine and was about to get out when he dropped his keys between the seats. He cursed under his breath and bent over to find em.
Emerson heard a rumble of a truck outside of her shop and her shoulders sagged slightly, knowing -well, hoping- that it was Bones, and if it were, she felt a bit more comforted that she technically wasn't alone with these men. "Well, I don't sell 'potions," she lied with a breathy chuckle. "I'm not a witch. But I can give you a sample of something to try; I'm not sure it will work." She then slipped out from behind the counter and moved past the man and one of the suited guys to get to a small shelf in the far corner, looking it up and down.
The man chuckled slightly, "No of course not" he said and smirked slightly before watching her walk over to the shelf to gather some things. Though he did stay facing the counter, so anyone who walked into the shop wouldn't be able to see his face.Bones finally reached his keys and pulled them out from under the seat with a smile before slipping out of his car. "Be right back Copper" he said and lightly scratched her behind her ears before closing the car door and walking into the store. He froze for a moment when he saw the men standing around the place like a bunch of fucking body guards. "What's up?" he asked his eyes landing on Emerson looking over her, to see if something was wrong. She didn't seem like she was in distress so he relaxed a bit.
The man smiled turned cold as Bones entered the store, he'd sensed his son's presences the moment he pulled up to the curb next to the shop. He hadn't expected him to be honest, it was just a lucky surprise. So with out saying a word he kind of just raised his arm and flicked his wrist.
Less then a second later two of the men wearing black suits ran at Bones each of them grabbing one of his arms and the thrid one walked up behind him quietly. He had started to struggle against the men holding him at that point though, but before he could really get any leverage on them the third guy's arms reached out snapped his neck.
Bones body immediately went limp, his body slumping lifelessly against the two men holding him, his head at a slightly weird angle. The men chuckled before letting go of his arms, letting his body slop down on the the floor with a loud thump. He was completely still not even a flinch or even the slightest of movements came from him.
The old man chuckled softly and turned around and looked at Emerson. "I wouldn't worry love he's not dead" he said and let his power level exploded out from him a moment later, almost like a slap in the face to anyone unlucky enough to be near him. "Well that's if he's strong enough to survive it. What do you think darlin?" he asked with a cold smirk.
Emerson had barely turned to greet Bones when the men grabbed him and -snap, she heard before he crumpled to the ground. A cry escape her lips and this time she didn't hide the flurry of emotions from her face: shock, worry, fear, anger. The older man's words barely registered enough as one of her small fists clenched at her side, ice covering her skin in a matter of moments and the other reached behind her for a sample she hadn't given Bones those months ago. She stopped dead when the man -no, demon's power pulsed through the shop, and her gaze went from Bones' body to the demon, her teeth bared. "I think I'm going to kill you," she spoke low, in lieu of answer to his question. Stupid, reckless, brash, she thought against herself. Bones had rubbed off on her more than she had realized.
The man laughed, "Oh really" he said and laughed again before letting out a burst of power, though instead of just showing his strength it actually hit her and made her fly across the room, or at least backwards into the shelf behind her. He was about five thousand years old, and well very very powerful. "I don't think so" he said and walked over to his son's body. "I'm Marcus by the way" he said with a smile. He kicked at Bones body flipping it over so he was facing up. "Ummmm let's see, I was about his age when I first got my neck snapped like that." he said talking to himself more then anyone else in the room. He kicked at the body again before shrugging slightly, "Though from what I've seen he's not all that powerful" he said and sighed softly. "I'd say he has a fifty fifty chance" he said and looked over at Emerson. "Want to say your last goodbyes before I drag you out of here?" he asked.
The force from Marcus' power completely shocked Emerson, although momentarily. The ice growing on her arm shattered to the ground and melted into a puddle of water in seconds, next to it a few bottles and books that had fallen of the shelf from her impact. She stood and brushed her hair out of her face, wishing the fear would wash from her face, but at least it still mixed with rage. She pointed her finger down to indicate her shop. "I am staying here, with him," she nearly growled, pointing to Bones' body. She really hoped that Marcus was wrong -Crispin would make it, and she questioned, "What do you want?" though she doubted the demon would take bribery and leave.
Marcus stood up straight and smirked at Emerson, "Want to make my son suffer for being a traitor. Sleeping with an angel, disgusting" he said and chuckled slightly. "And don't worry, he's coming with us, just won't be seeing him again" he said and looked down at Bones again. He nudged the head slightly "Ooooh blood not a good sign" he said and kicked it a bit harder so he was facing her now. Bones's eyes were opened it shock, his mouth open slightly with a bit of blood drizzling out of the corner. "Guess he wasn't as strong as you thought. To bad" he said and shrugged slightly.
Emerson swallowed hard, unable to tear her eyes from Bones' open, empty ones. Marcus is your father, she thought, terror sweeping over her as she slid her attention from his eyes to his neck. Yes, blood from his mouth was bad, and his neck was bruised... Maybe he wouldn't die, but she probably would. "We haven't slept together," she whispered as she straightened. Maybe it was stupid and sentimental of her, but she stepped past Marcus and dropped to Bones' body, cupping his cheek for a moment, looking for a sign of life. "You bastard," she growled again up at Marcus, still not looking away from Bones. She dropped and pressed her lips to his forehead for a moment, then his own lips, though she accidentally gathered a little of his blood onto her.
Marcus sighed softly and let her have her moment, though he found it ridiculous. After a few moments he grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the body "We're leaving" he said and turned to look at one of the men in black suits. "Tad you take the body. When we get back you can just take it to the furnace room throw it into the fire" he said and then started dragging Emerson out of the shop. "Oh and Tick make sure you take of the Mngwa, rather not have that thing come after me" he said and turned his attention back to Emerson. "Ready to go on a bit of a wild ride?" he asked, though before she could answer he jumped into a manhole, though it was really a portal to a abandoned warehouse he was holed up in at the moment.Tad nodded slightly and picked up the body, and followed Marcus into the man hole.
Tick cursed under his breath at his task but told grid, the last man in the black suit that he was definitely going to help. So now they were doing that.
Tick and Tad? Really? was Emerson's last thought before Marcus jumped into the manhole. She was completely unprepared though, and hadn't teleported in years, so when they landed in a dusty building, she coughed, dizzy. She gritted her teeth, looking around at what looked to be an abandoned warehouse. "You son of a-" she started before thinking back to Copper. Those two men -demons, whatever- didn't stand a chance with the hellcat. She looked at the man who held Bones, though, and her heart plummeted, thinking of the fate Marcus had instructed the goon to bestow on Crispin.
Tad smirked at Emerson when he saw her looking at him and winked before turning around and walking into a different room, the make shift furnace room. The fire had gone out though so he dropped Bones on the ground, literally dropped, didn't set him down nicely or anything.Marcus sighed softly and walked Emerson into a room and sat her down next to a pole. Then he went ahead and tired her up, "Now this is charmed rope so you best not struggle or it'll just keep getting tighter" he said, though he really didn't care if that happened. When he was done trying her up he moved so that he was crouched down in front of her. "You know I had planned on just killing you, letting my son find your mutilated body. Then he walked into your store and I just couldn't resist the chance to take the pain in my ass out. As much as I loved banging his mother doing so was probably the worst mistake of my life." he said and sighed softly. "Oh well though, the consciences of that mistake have been taken care now. About time too." he said and laughed softly.
Bones's pinky finger twitched slightly.
Emerson's jaw ground her teeth so roughly it was painful, and she spat on Marcus. "You're sick," she groaned as she did struggle against the ropes once. Cursing aloud, she knew Marcus hadn't been lying about the binds having a spell on them. Within a few movements, the ropes were so flush with her skin that it hurt to move. She cursed herself in her mind over and over again, still avoiding the idea of Bones being dead. If she didn't, she would break down in front of Marcus, and he would laugh. Laugh, she realized. Bones had told the truth when he called his father a monster or whatever else he said. She yelped when the binds tightened again. "What good does it do you to hurt me now that you killed your own son?" Though she would honestly just die fast and not have to face what happened to Crispin.
Marcus smirked, "Well it's always fun to kill an angel. I would have liked for him to come back though. Maybe make him watch the light leave your eyes, but all well I still get to have my fun" he said and laughed softly before standing up. "I'll leave you alone for a bit, got things to do" he said and walked out of the room and to the top floor of the building. Thumb.... thumb.... thumb..... went the soft sound of Bones's heart starting up again. It was so slow that it was almost undetectable.
The bad sort of shiver moved across Emerson's body, and although he hasn't made to touch her again, she felt like Marcus had already violated her with only his words. A short cry sounded from her throat as soon as he left. Bones is dead, Bones is dead, Bones is dead, she thought over and over again. She couldn't allow her shoulders to shake while she cried because of the binding, and for the first time she wondered if this was something Abby had warned Bones against a couple of months ago, when she had caught them on that date and tried to kill Emerson. This time, though, she wasn't drunk, and she realized that what Abby was trying to do was a mercy in comparison to how Marcus would end her.
Bones slowly regained consciousness as Tad tried relighting the fire, luckily he was having trouble. Bones groaned softly and lifted his hand to his neck, "Ow" he groaned and then a moment later his eyes flashed open as he remembered what happened. He looked around the room and saw that Tad some how hadn't heard him. He rolled his eyes at the incompetence before pushing himself to his feet, he was weak and could barely stand but he managed to stumble his way over to Tad quickly.Just as Tad turned around to see what the hell was going on Bones shoved him into the partially lite furnace and slammed the door shut. He quickly blocked it with something, which was actually kind of hard because he was having a hard time standing at the moment.
The thought of what had happened to Bones kept running through Emerson's mind over and over again, forcing her to watch his neck snap. She froze when she heard a short yell and the slamming of a heavy door, the constant 'Bones is dead' only quieting to a whisper. She shifted, groaning when her bound wrists burned painfully at the stupid enchanted rope. What had the noise been?
Bones groaned slightly and feel to his knees before hacking up some blood. He groaned again before forcing himself back up onto his feet and out of the room, took a while but he managed. Then he just closed his eyes and let his other senses do the work, he could smell Emerson, she was close which was good. He hurried down the hallway, following her scent to an open. He smiled when he saw Emerson tied to one of the supporting beams and stumbled over to her. "Are you okay?" he asked, his voice kind of hoarse. He feel to his knew in front of her and looked over her, making sure she wasn't injured at all.
Bones wasn't dead. A short cry came from Emerson's throat as he hobbled to her, looking like, well... hell. He was covered in blood and his neck was still bruised; when he smiled even his teeth were red. She didn't exactly believe that he was actually standing there until he asked her a question. The only issue was her bloodies wrists, but that was nothing compared to what he looked like. "I'm fine- you... You died," she told him, although that obviously wasn't the case. She cursed the ropes, just wanting to reach out and touch his face. "He thinks you're dead. Are you okay?" Fear rippled through her again. Where was Marcus?
Bones smirked, "Course I'm okay" he said and quietly crawled around her to get to her hands. He examined her wrists for a moment before pulling a pocket knife out of his pocket. Luckily they had actually believed he was dead and did search him for weapons. He cut the rope, because thought was enchanted it was just rope and was easily cut by a knife. "Come on we should get out of here" he said and moved back around so he could look at her.
Emerson waited anxiously for Bones to cut the rope that held her in place before leaping up and brushing her palm against his face, needing the confirmation that he wasn't dead. "Let's go," she agreed, wrapping an arm around his waist since he still seemed to be out of sorts. "Those other guys... The two body guards; they're trying to take care of Copper." She knew Bones would want to know what had happened to her, but she honestly had no idea where they were in town because of the teleporting.
"Wouldn't worry about it" Bones said and struggled to his feet with Emerson's help. He wasn't worried about Copper, she was more then capable of protecting herself. "I would" Marcus said with a smirk from the door way. "I mean Tick and Grid are one of my best Mngwa hunters, very talented young men" he said and looked over Bones. 'Guess you were just strong enough to make it Crispin, good on you" he said before flicking his wrist sending Bones flying across the room.
Bones screamed as his back slammed against the wall, he looked down to see a metal rod protruding from his stomach. "Fuck you" he hissed before spitting blood. He grabbed the pole with both hands trying to pole it out that way, was an old warehouse so whatever it was that was keeping it attached to the wall, couldn't be that strong.
"Hey now, that was very nice" Marcus said, completely ignoring Emerson at the moment. He walked over to Bones and kind of just knocked his hands away from the pole before bending it back so the top of it was going close around his side. So he wouldn't be able to get a good grip on it to pull it off the wall and he couldn't just pull himself off the pole.
Once Marcus was done with that he turned around and looked at Emerson. "Guess I get my wish after all" he said with a smirk. "Ready to have a little fun?"
A growl rippled from Emerson's throat as she was yanked back a little, though more focused on Bones being impaled on the wall. Again as before, icicles formed on the tips of her fingers as Marcus turned his attention on Crispin, though she couldn't control her abilities very well. She wasn't much over eight hundred, and hadn't needed to use her control over snow and ice and whatnot very much in the recent past -other than when she had fought Kylist's cronies with Copper as Bones challenged the now-deceased demon. Since Marcus' attention was on Bones, as soon as he turned around she let the icicles fly, to his neck, eyes, whatever, annoyed that she couldn't get a good look at Crispin's body.
