Crush (Ember/Freakshow RP)

Ember looked around her place with a certain amount of displeasure. She had forgotten how much of a mess she'd left the place in. Part of her was tempted to call up Des and wish for a quick clean up of the place, but she felt wrong doing that. Instead she just did the best she could, though she purposely avoided trying to do anything with the ( Read more... )

Freakshow quickly headed over to Ember's after figuring out directions from Clockwork. He wasn't sure if he enjoyed getting this secret out to Ember or not. He felt dread at the thought of telling her, but also felt a little bit of relief.
Oh well, I'll find out if this is good or not soon.

"Neither of us want to be protected. We want to defend ourselves. But both of us feel a need to protect the other." He kept his gaze away from her, the conversation was on Johnny. he had hoped it wouldn't go to Johnny.
"As for Johnny, I could kick his ass anytime. I just..I don't know..I don't feel like it."

"Don't feel like it?" Ember repeated. "After everything he said to you and what he did to Dan? And, no offense, but after everything you said about protecting me...that doesn't make any sense. What exactly happened when you two went drinking?"

He got up. "I made a promise, and I'm keeping it."
"As for the protectiveness over you, I already got revenge for what he did to you while we went drinking, atleast in my mind."

"A promise?" Ember asked, jumping to her feet. "To who? To Dan? What, does he want to tell me himself or something?" She studied his face. "What did you do to him that night?"

"The promise was to not talk about it, and I hold you dearly, but I'm still not going to talk about it. I got my revenge, and that's it. End of story. let's get off the subject." He said, a slight anger in his voice.

She looked at him in shock. "He TOLD you not to talk about it, didn't he? That's what he always says after..." She shook her head. "But there's no way THAT happened. Not with you and him." She studied his face for any sign of a reaction.

He kept his face stern, emotionless. He wasn't going to let this secret get out. He wouldn't risk Dan finding out. Risk anyone finding out.
You don't want to hurt Dan, and you don't want to hurt Johnny either.
No one should know.
"No, Ember."

"No, it didn't happen? Or no I shouldn't press this?" Ember tilted her head to the side. "You have to remember, I know how he works. And I know the last thing he would have said would be not to tell anyone what happened. So I'm sorry, but I'm suspiscious."

A saddened look finally crossed her face. "I just hope, for your sake, you didn't. He hurts everything he touches, Freakshow. And you don't deserve that."

"Just no, Ember." He didn't want to lie. He didn't. But he couldn't tell her either.
"And he can't hurt me any more than I've already been hurt, Ember." He was even shocked at how emotionless his voice was. It almost hurt himself to hear.

She drew back from him. "Don't use that voice with me," she ordered, her voice fearful. "No emotion. Please, I'm sorry. Just don't do that anymore."

"Why? Does it scare you?" He asked, only letting the smallest bit of emotion seep abck.
Stop this, you'll ward her away. Stop.
No, I won't stop. Can't let her find out about Johnny.
He chuckled, almost evilly.
"Of course I'll stop, Ember. But I need to be going now. This conversation has gone too sour for my liking."

She stumbled backwards, her right hand flying to her chest...right over the spot where...

"You know damn well it scares me. Get the hell out of here." She pointed towards the door. "Talk to me again when you're not..."

He's dead...he's dead...he can't come back. He's dead...

His eyes suddenly widened and he took a sharp intake of breath, stumbling backwords as well, grabbing his head.
"Oh my god..I'm sorry." He quickly ran out before Ember could see him begin to panic.

Shaking, Ember watched him leave. She barely registered his apology.

Her legs felt weak as she walked towards the black carpet. She lifted it, staring down at the green stains underneath it.

She fell to her knees and beat her fists against the floor, finally letting tears fall from her eyes.

She gasped for breath a few times, and then let loose a scream. Falling to her side, hugging her chest, she screamed again, tears falling steadily from her eyes.

She knew she'd be crying long into the night.

Go away. You're not real. You're just a figment of my imagination. You're dead. You'll never come back. You can't.
I won't let you.
Or will you?
He quickly raced home, he had to go force the voice back again.
I'm sorry, Ember. He thought as he heard her scream.
