Emmy listened to Raven speak, not sure what to think. She didn't want to use her powers for fear of accidentally hurting someone...but at the same time, she also didn't want to unintentionally hurt because she wasn't using her power. It was a terrible place to be in, a place that Emerson wasn't sure how to get out of. She was going to hurt someone either way â€" and it made her sad to know that she would not be able to prevent it. Perhaps she could have her powers stripped from her? Surely there was a witch somewhere who had asked for their powers to go away. Perhaps she was the only one who just wanted to be normal.
When Raven asked if there might be someone who could help her master her power, someone that perhaps had the same ability, Emmerson shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know anyone here...and I've never met anyone with my power." Her ability to create storms didn't seem to be a popular one...but it sure was deadly. She supposed there was a lot of good that could come of her powers if she was able to control them. Perhaps once she found Alex's family, maybe she could search for a teacher.
They talked about her scars, saying that it was abuse that caused them. And when Raven said there was nothing to apologize for, that it was her family that did that to her, Emmy felt a connection with her. Her situation might not be the same as Raven's, but it was similar. "My parents beat me every time I used my power. Eventually, they gave me up to the state who threw me into foster homes that did the same thing. I was beaten for using my powers. But what they didn't know is that the more they beat me, the more scared I became...which made my powers be uncontrollable. I ran away and never looked back." The last couple of years with Alex had been the best of her life. He had calmed her nerves and her instances of power mishaps had fallen drastically. And now he was gone.
Emmy asked about this place and despite it not being the information she wanted, it was interesting enough. She seemed happy to talk about her new pack, and that made Emmy smile. What it did tell her, however, was that Alex's family would not be here in the west district. They were not weres, but witches. Perhaps they could be located somewhere else. But before she could ask where the witches hung out, she began to speak about the city and some of the various parts of the area. Emmy listened quietly, taking in the information that might help her to locate Alex's family.
But before she could ask about the witches, she seemed to be able to read her mind too. While it may not have been a power, per say, she at least could predict where her train of thought was heading. She spoke of other witches and Emmy smiled. "I'm actually here looking for a witch family...The Acostas." She highly doubted that the were new the family specifically, but maybe she could be pointed to someone who might. Not to mention, she might be able to help her locate a witch with her powers. "You don't happen to know anyone that can control storms, do you?" Since she was here...she might as well see if someone had her power.
