I spent the rest of Saturday with Emmett at Coney Island. I had only ever been here one other time with my mother, it took her weeks to save for it and we suffered for a month afterward. This time around was just as much fun, Emmett acted like a big kid the whole time, begging me for prizes and to go on the rides together, he even made me eat a fucking nasty corndog.

We’re driving back to Hunt’s Point in Shelby, both tired out of our fucking minds, having near to no sleep. Despite that, I feel like today was important, I was meant to bond with Emmett, because that’s what happened. We bonded, I mean, first it was over killing someone together but after, it was about seeing the innocence in the other. First evil then being assured there’s also good, a balance of sorts. And we both understand that the balance can always be tipped, and he gets that the killings actually balance me after I tip too far towards evil.

Emmett says he doesn’t have any urges to see blood, feel it or to kill. He doesn’t have a darkness and would much prefer not to do it. Much to our father’s disdain while he was growing up. He is our mother with only a touch of our father, he doesn’t shy away from darkness but he doesn’t let it live in him. That soothes me, reminds me that I also have her inside me… somewhere.

“You sure you want to leave tonight?” Emmett asks as I pull up to the compound.

“Yeah, I’ll nap first.” I nod, “I miss Vin.”

“I miss Vin, too.” He grins, “make sure you tell him for me.”

I laugh and lean over to hug him as his scent combines with mine and the smell is intoxicating. I suddenly realize I don’t want to leave him and I think he feels the same with how hard he’s hugging me.

“Come to Whitsborough next weekend.” I tell him.

“Okay.” He mumbles, his face still in my shoulder.

Finally, we break apart and I don’t miss the look of abandonment before he quickly covers his features with his-and mine-mischievous grin. He gets out of the car and jogs to the compound, looking back once to give me a quick wave then he disappears inside. It’s in that moment I realize I want Emmett to live with me in Whitsborough and I want him to be loved like I am. I will have to think of a way to tell my parents that don’t implicate me in the murder of our father.
