Lost souls episode one: Emma

Rue was in a frenzy state trying to track down Emma's scent, The nymph looked at him with sympathy in eyes and cleared her throat. "Rue... I can sense her presence elsewhere, She's in a castle as we speak..." The nymph confessed truthfully to ease his worries. Rue's eyes snapped to the nymph with dilated pupils and spoke very softly. I'm... worried about my daughter's safety, I don't trust that man that took her... I feel like I'm going to cry..." Rue confessed with his voice cracking while his eyes began watering. "I understand completely how you feel, Rue. I understand you're pain, and worries, and doubts. But how about you put that awesome smile on your face and let's rescue your daughter and bring her home!" The nymph confessed with an enthusiastic smile on her face. Rue nodded with excitement.

Emma's POV~

Where am I? Last time I've checked I was swinging at the park? Oh, well. This place looks very fancy to be honest... I need to escape and find Rue! My dad must be worried sick! Even my big brother, Kim! Suddenly I hear hushed voices coming from outside the room, I paid close attention to what they were saying...

"Kidnapping Emma is the only solution to luring Rue over! He's my true love!" Shadow confessed dramatically and like a fool. "Really? You say about every person that comes into our territory you idiot!" Rey confessed with annoyance and aggression laced in his voice.

True love? I didn't know Rue was courting. Could be lies.

"Shadow, please let the little girl go. I can already see that things won't end nicely, Rue is coming as we speak, I sense him." Rey confessed truthfully and with sympathy. "Fine. I'll let her go. Why can't I ever have someone all to myself..." Shadow confessed dramatically with sadness laced in his voice.

If only you knew Shadow... if only you knew...

The door opens revealing Shadow in a fancy attire that literally could pay rent, Emma looked at him up and down with unimpressed eyes. "You don't really look like the princes my dad reads to me at bedtime, you look like an evil prince! Haha!" Emma confessed with a mocking laugh and pointed at Shadow who was in shock. "A evil prince?! Young lady, I am royalty and full of riches! Do you even know who you are talking to?" Shadow confessed dramatically and with a raised eyebrow. "Evil prince! I'm talking to a evil prince, hahaha!!" Emma confessed maniacally and giggled loudly.

Shadow looked at Emma with shock and fear, never in his life did he think that a little girl could scare him. "Rue is coming to rescue you... so I guess you head to the castle gates while I confess my feelings to him..." Shadow confessed awkwardly while looking down at the ground with nervousness. "Rue doesn't love evil people, He told me that he despises them a lot... You could just have a kingdom to rule?" Emma confessed truthfully and looked at Shadow with little sympathy. "I guess I can, leave little one." Shadow confessed with a little salute.

I'm free! I'm free! Not only that, but I wonder what my brother Kim is doing? Oh? He must be playing those violent video games again! Rue definitely has to read me a bedtime story soon! Oh! I see him flying, "I'm down here!" Emma exclaimed which caught Rue's attention. "Emma!" Rue gasped as he landed on the ground harshly and embraced Emma tightly. "Rue? I'm not hurt!" Emma exclaimed happily which calmed him down and looked at her with watery eyes... "I was afraid that he was going to hurt you, the fact he let you escape must prove that he's up to something bad. I'm bringing you home to you're dad, He's stressing a lot." Rue confessed with concern and chuckled. "That's my dad we're talking about, will you read me a bedtime story tonight?" Emma asked hopefully with big eyes sparkling. Rue raised his eyebrow playfully and nodded. "Anything for you, princess." Rue confessed playfully.

End of Emma's POV~

Rue landed his new home that brought him peace and warmed his heart. " I'll talk to you're dad, why don't you freshen up in warm clothes okay?" Rue asked with a smile. Emma beamed and dashed into her room while quickly greeting Kim. "Hey Dark, happy to see me in good condition? And Emma is getting freshening up. I have some suspicions that I'd like to tell you." Rue confessed with concern.

"Shadow is up to something. I just feel it in my gut, I feel a lot of conflict brewing by his side. Rey must be telling him off. I actually want to start being human again even though I'm reincarnated... I want to know what it's like out there with a lot of people. Furthermore, I know that you're still hesitant, but please let me do this... I want to meet people and have fun again and experience... Love." Rue confessed truthfully and excitedly.

Darkness bit his lip and looked down, He knew that Rue was going to bring up this conversation sooner or later. But right now being supportive is the answer. "I would love for you to experience all of these things, Rue. You never needed my permission in the first place, but as long as you're still saying by us, it's fine." Darkness confessed calmly while embracing Rue tightly.

Rue is excited to begin his new journey, but his suspicions are still high... Shadow is crying in his castle, Someone is excited to meet Rue and welcome him to their gang. I love you guys, thanks for reading. Episode two will take some time, take care everyone and stay safe and blessed!
