Callum had been winded ever since he hit the ground, about ten yards from the fight going on between Emmalia and Ander. Gasping for breath, he attempted to regulate his airflow so he could recover as quickly as possible. Either way, though, the combination of all the hits he had taken was taking its toll on him, and Callum was barely able to sit up on his own. Feeling that at least a few of his ribs were broken, he knew he was pretty much out of the fight, at least for now.
 
Emmalia wasn't even letting Ander move. When he raised his hand to cast a spell, she grabbed it and broke his wrist, then squeezed his hand so hard that she crushed the bones. "You were never a mage. I guess your experimenting was useful, wasn't it?" When he raised his other arm defensively, she grabbed that hand and broke that wrist too, then his forearm. Ander gasped out in pain, but seemed to not feel it too terribly. "Is that where your soul went? Spells and experiments? No, let's face it, you never had one." She punched him as hard as she could and sent him reeling, then dragged him back up. "That's why you hardly even register this pain, isn't it? Well I'm going to make sure you feel enough pain to make you beg for mercy, and then I'll make you feel more. That's what you did to me you fucking waste." There wasn't any emotion in her voice, it was calm, level, and absolutely terrifying.
 
Callum attempted to crawl in the direction of Emmalia, hoping to get in a few punches himself, although it seemed rather unlikely. He was just glad he got off a hit or two on Ander before being tossed to the side like a corpse. It made him feel a bit on the down side to think how little of a fight Callum had put up. That didn't matter, however, since his only goal was to keep Emmalia safe.
 
Ander panted out, "You denied me, you dumb bit-" Emmalia punched him again, harder, and an audible crack was heard as the bones in his nose shattered. She punched him in the side and again, there was that audible, sickening crack. She growled, "I'm going to break every bone in your body, then I will torture you further."
 
Callum's senses were coming back to him, and he could easily hear the interactions between Emmalia and Ander. The more he listened in though, the more he realized how sadistic Emmalia was being. Part of him wanted to tell Emmalia to stop, since he knew it was wrong, but another side of him wished to watch Ander suffer as long as he could. Still, Emmalia's voice and power was beginning to worry him.
 
Emmalia didn't seem to notice Callum, or realize that he was there. All she knew was that she could hear Ander's heartbeat and Callum's and smell both of their blood, but she only cared about Ander's. She hit him again and broke two more ribs, then smirked, put on her lion gauntlet, and clawed across his chest, through his leather vest that was like butter under her anger and shredded easily, allowing her claws to get to his skin.
 
At this point, Callum could tell Emmalia was just toying with him. "Stop," He said, hoping Emmalia would just kill Ander and get it over with. The longer they kept him alive, the longer they had the chance of him pulling out a wild card and turning the tables once more. "Just kill him. Don't get to his level."
 
Emmalia had already clawed into Ander's chest again. She glanced back slightly at Callum, showing that she heard what he said, but evidently didn't care to heed it or even understand it as she grabbed Ander's head and smashed it back into the carriage wall. Finally, Ander broke. "Please, just kill me!"

Emmalia smirked. "No." She started punching Ander repeatedly in the chest, in the face, twisted his broken arms, though she was careful to keep him conscious. Finally she said, "You always wanted immortality. You wanted my abilities. You wanted me. You will have none of it." She leaned in and bit his neck, then stepped back and let him fall to the ground. Within seconds, he was writhing and screaming in agony. A vampire's bite can have many affects when they know what they were doing. Emmalia knew, and she had just given him an agony bite.

Em just stood there and wiped off her mouth as she watched him with utter indifference.
 
Callum could feel his breath grow short - he wasn't sure if there was something actually wrong with him, or he just didn't like seeing Emmalia so ruthless. It took him a moment to figure out that his lunch must be punctured - his ribs were pressing into his right lung, and it was getting heavy with blood. Even if Callum couldn't die, it was both painful and agonizing. "Em..." He said, trying to speak clearly. "Kill him."
 
Emmalia turned around to face Callum. She could hear the sounds of his lung damage as he breathed and spoke. "Your lung is punctured. You need to go to a healer immediately." Still, there was no emotion in her voice and no expression on her face. She was just stating facts. Without another word, she knelt beside him and started unbuckling his armor.
 
Callum attempted to push Emmalia away. He knew he could live from this, and if not, he was sure Death would give him another chance. "Kill Ander." Was all he said, hoping she would get the hint. Even if Ander was physically and mentally broke, he could still find some way to gain the upper hand. He needed to die now.
 
"I already did. He may be screaming in pain, but he will not survive. That bite will not allow him to. I give him fifteen seconds before his heart stops, thirty seconds before everything else does too." She ignored his trying to push her away and managed to get his chest plate off. Even then, no emotion showed, none of her personality. Just coldness. "I'll carry you to the nearest healer. If I run, it won't take long at all."
 
Callum felt himself get a bit lightheaded. "Em..." He looked up at her and attempted to keep himself still in her arms. "What's going on with you?" He had to take a few seconds to try and breathe between each sentence. "Why are you so... cold?"
 
She didn't answer him. Her red eyes would give it away whenever they were in the light. "You're dying, Callum. We don't have long." She helped him out of the last of his armor, then carefully picked him up, seeming to not even notice his weight, then started running as fast as she could. It was only a few minutes before they got to a healer and she practically forced her way in, moving quickly so her red eyes wouldn't be seen or noticed. The healer naturally was confused, but the large amount of gold Emmalia gave her seemed to help, and so did the healer already knowing Emmalia from when she was a child, a proper LaFaren.
 
Callum groaned as he was set down, feeling himself get more and more distant from himself. Well, he supposed it would be a good way to find out of he could actually come back from the dead or not. He could feel his soul beginning to slip from his body, his eyelids heavy and his breathing short.
 
The healer set to work immediately, healing the puncture in his lung first, then the rest of the damage to his lung and the tissue surrounding it. The damage was extensive, but once his lung was properly healed, he needed only to cough up the blood.

Emmalia waited nearby, just watching the whole thing.
 
Callum was barely awake as he coughed up blood for a series of what seemed like hours, the pain of coughing up his own blood wasn't a pleasant experience and wasn't anything he wanted to experience again. The next morning, Callum's eyes fluttered open. "Em...?" was the first thing he asked for.
 
"Here," she said quietly and put her hand over his. Her hand was still cold, and the color of her eyes couldn't be well seen because she had drawn the shutters closed to keep out the ought. "How are you?"
 
Callum took a moment to look around the room, partly because he didn't remember it and partly because of how dark it was. "I'm better than dead, I suppose, so not too bad. Are you okay? He didn't hurt you did he? Is Ander dead?"
 
"I am fine. Ander is dead. The healer says your wounds won't scar. But you may not travel long distances any time soon. Tonight you may go with me to the inn." Everything she said was clearly laid out for him like a fact sheet. Her voice was indifferent, but not quite cold, like it had been with Ander last night.
 
Callum let out a soft sigh and frowned as he looked up at her. "Emmalia, what's going on with you? Why do you seem so distant?" Part of Callum felt a little jealous, thinking that she might be sad over Ander's death because she secretly had feelings for him, no matter how unlikely the scenario was.
 
Em was careful not to look right at him, because to do so might give away her red eyes, and she didn't need him panicking. She stood and leaned over to kiss him on the forehead. "Sleep," she said softly, knowing that at the moment she could influence him to feel tired without even needing to bite him.
 
Callum couldn't quite tell why, but his eyelids got heavier as he imagined the benefits of sleep. "You don't have to tell me twice." Callum said, but still didn't feel right about what was going on. He figured he could ask after a nice nap. "I love you, Em..." He said tiredly.
 
"I love you too, Callum." There was actually a normal amount of emotion behind that, a warm tenderness. It was forced, but impossible to tell that it was. Only she knew, and she was just doing what she needed to do to survive, and get him out as well. Once the sun set, they could go to the inn, where it would be private.
 
Callum had soon drifted back to sleep after that, not even staying awake long enough to hear her reply. Later on in th night, Callum awoke to the same darkness as before. This time, he wasn't sure if it was because it was night time, or because the blinds were still closed. He sat up and yawned, feeling his sore stomach and chest with a groan.
