Looking up, I could see it was Emilia dressed in jeans and an oversized sweater.

"Emilia? What are you doing here," I asked.

"I came to pick you up like you asked, the front door was locked, so I was going to check the back one til I heard glass shattering. But I think the real question here is, what are you doing? Why did you just jump out of the freaking window" se asked, eyes wide.

Before I could say anything, you could hear Bruce screaming frantically "sweetie, I'm here! Mina where are you?!" Knowing that he will eventually see the broken window. I jumped out of Emilia arms, beginning to run, when she pulled me back by my arm.

"Let me go. I have to go. He.. he.. He's coming for me.." I said stumbling over words, still pulling away from him.

"Okay I understand. Mina, you'll be fine, just be quiet we have to go" she said pulling me along.

As we began walking away he screamed from the window, "Mina, where are you going? Hey you give her back? Let her go?" "Don't run away Mina?!," he screamed as we began to racing to get to her car.

As we were rushing, I could feel a sharp pain in my leg, giving me no choice but to stop. As I looked down I could see blood staining my pants, I must have been cut by the window.

Limping as we made it to her car, she began to unlock it when Bruce came bursting through the front door. In his hand he held a huge kitchen knife, "Mina you can't leave me! Give her back to me!"

Emilia seemly unaffected by him, pushing me in the car, as she closed the door, I could see him charging for her.

"EMILA!!," I screamed her name to warn her.

The next thing I knew, she had his arm with knight pressed towards his stomach pushing him back, as if it was natural, she had dropped on the floor. Looking at the ground, I could see that he was no longer unconscious. She didn't kill him, right? I knew she was strong and did martial arts, though it wasn't until now that I had seen her abilities look so scary and for some reason I felt sorry for him.

She began walking to the car, opening the door, she asked me, "are you okay?"

"I'm fine now thank you, but what about him?," I asked.

She looked at me like I was crazy, "what do you mean?"

"Is he going to be okay?," I asked.

"Yeah he'll be fine, I didn't kill him," she said.

"But, we can't just leave him out there," I said.

Furrowing her brows, she said, "why not?"

"Because even though what he tried to do was bad, he wasn't always bad. I mean, we could at least bring him back inside" I said.

Sensing anger in her voice, she said "what's wrong with you Mina? Why do want to show kindness to someone who just tried to do something indescribably despicable to you? Do you have some form of stockholm syndrome? Or maybe all the blood has rushed to you head, to make you say something so crazy."

I understood why she was upset but I thought she'd understand how I felt. As she drove away from the scene, with me in the backseat, I could see a familiar figure looking over Bruces' body. Was that Jace?
