kindred spirits; chapter four
not too long of a wait for you all, i hope? i did hope to get this out sooner, but if you follow me on tumblr you’d know that i’ve been moving, and it’s taken me a couple of weeks to get the internet, and i get no signal where i live which sucks, ugh. anyway, updating should be back to normal again now.
however, just a warning that i move into university on the 17th of september, so there may be a few days, where i don’t update, and i’m not around much, but it won’t be for long, i promise. even if updating may be slightly slower, when i start. anyways, i hope you all like this one!
– shauna! xo
By the time Emma has finished her story of that night, she’s stopped crying, the silent tears halting and that’s not the only thing that has halted. Her, Ruby and Mary Margaret have found themselves pausing in their stroll, and near the lake on the camping grounds. There’s a few big rocks to at the side of them, where they’d stopped, and Ruby has taken to sprawling across one, with Mary Margaret resting lightly on a slightly smaller one.
“God,” Ruby groans dramatically before she wipes a hand over her forehead, making the other two roll their eyes. “Have we been walking forever?”
Emma snorts.
“Barely,” she mutters. “About an hour and a half. How unfit are you?”
A sinful smile crosses Ruby’s red lips, and her eyes light up with mischief.
“I’m sure Victor would attest to how very fit I am,” Ruby tells her, and Emma groans in response.
Emma lets that settle as she climbs up onto the highest rock, and she sighs deeply to herself as she sits herself down, her arms wrapping around her knees tightly and hugging them to her chest, her lips pressing tightly together. When she looks up, she finds two pairs of eyes on her.
Mary Margaret seems to be soft, whilst Ruby’s seem to be hard.
“Emma,” Mary Margaret begins, her voice purposefully soft. “Have you talked to him?”
Emma shrugs, because what is the right answer to that?
“Sort of,” Emma tells her. “We spoke some on the way here.”
“And you still haven’t resolved it?”
