Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I last updated, and for all of you that waited patiently for the next chapter to come up, thank you :)

And for all of you that poke me with constant messages asking me when Amata and Emily are going to have sex, go somewhere else. If that keeps up when a real sex scene comes up I'll put in it's place 'And then they had sex.'

This story IS NOT about sex in anyway what so ever, if it was it would have happened by now. I wanted to write an interesting story about fallout 3 .to those of you that are in this for the story, thanks, I doubt even if I do the sex scene's they'll be all that great XD

Now that that is out of the way, I'll say I'm sorry that it hasn't been updated in a while, a lot of stuff has been happening lately. That's pretty much it.

Let's get back to the story now :P

Part 1 Amata

Amata walked a foot or so behind Emily, trying to keep up with her fast pace without having to jog as she watched her carefully. Emily still wore the Doctor fatigues from before, now with a sniper rifle strapped to her shoulder, along with a combat shotgun attached to her lower back. Her belt had many pouches and ammo clips on them, and the pouches contained medical supplies.

Then sun was just beginning to set now, and Amata couldn't help but be in awe by it, even under the circumstances

She was torn between saying it was the wasteland that changed her so much, or herself. She held in her hand her mother's necklace, the one she had gave to Emily at her birthday, the same one she had so easily gave back to her. The pure silver chain reflected the glare of the sun back into her eyes, with the pendant hanging from the end. It was a heart, also silver, and the entire left side covered in tiny diamonds. She had treasured it with her life, until she gave it to Emily, who was thrilled to accept it.

Emily was hardly the person she knew, instead of the joyful, protective girl she had grown up with, she now saw a cold, brutal woman who could take someones life without a second thought.

She shook her head, turning her attention to her surroundings. The trees around them were dead, with no plant's what so ever in sight. She sighed, it was depressing. She didn't like the silence either, there was no sound she could hear, besides the crunching of their footsteps on the dirt and gravel, she decided she would try to start a conversation instead.

"So is there any wildlife around here?" she asked, trying to sound just generally curious as she watched for her reaction.

After a few moments Emily answered. "Mole rats, Yao Guai, Ants, Bloat fly's, Death claws, Rad Scorpions, Mirelurks, and..." she trailed off, trying to think of more. "Dogs."

"Dogs?" That seemed rather normal actually.

"Dogs where mostly unaltered by radiation, besides some missing fur and going completely rabid in some cases. There not a big concern really." She told her, easily listing off facts from memory.

"Oh..." She looked wide eyed at the back of Emily's head, surprised she knew this, "What about Yao Guai?" She asked, trying to say the name correctly.

"Bears. Missing fur, large teeth, extremely fast, like to travel in pairs. I'd rather face a pack of dogs then one Guai." She told her with a frown. "At least dogs aren't fast enough to get past a frag mine." She sighed, not looking back at her. "And if you don't want to include 'Wildlife' to the list, there are ghouls, raiders, and super mutants." She said, before she stopped walking entirely, causing Amata to almost bump into her.

"Hey!" She started, before Emily raised her arm, shushing her, before pointing off the trail. Amata followed with her eyes to where she pointed at, a small clearing surrounding by large rocks blocking the view with plenty of dead tree's. At first she saw nothing unusually about it, until a large figure stood up, laughing manically. She gasped as she recognised it from her dream, except even though they looked the same, this one seemed to be insane, it looked down on something cowering beneath it, and then she saw it was a woman. She was bruised and bleeding, and her wrists were bound with copper wire it looked like.

"We have to help her!" she told her, facing Emily.

"You first." she said sarcastically, not meeting her eyes. Amata waited a few moments for her to go save the young girl, but she didn't move. She looked back to the scene, the thing had picked up the girl by her arm, causing her to scream in pain.

"What?" She demanded, furious that she would even consider not helping her. "You aren't even bothered by this? they'll kill her!"

Emily shook her head, "Most likely they'll torture her for a few days until she dies, from starvation or dehydration, depending if they feed her or not, or in any other way." She said sadly, and took a step away from her.

Amata grabbed her arm before she could go any further. "Why the hell not? You have to- "

Emily turned around suddenly taking Amata's hand and pulling it away from her. "That's a super mutant Amata, not one, but four, one master, two brutes and the other is just a basic." she told her coldly. "A master's skin is tough enough to stop a combat knife depending how sharp it is, and can tear a human apart effortlessly." she finished, looking at Amata, no expression on her face.

Amata stared back in disbelief, before Emily would never had let someone suffer like that, she even saved Butch's mother, the man who had tormented her throughout her life. She shook her head, "Fine, then give me a gun, I'll save her." she declared her before she could think about what she was saying. How could she save her? She probably couldn't even figure out how to reload the gun in time before they killed her, or didn't.

"No. Now come on." She told her, taking her hand, trying to lead her away.

She had had enough, "What the hell is wrong with you?" She demanded, snatching her hand away, "You Never would have let something like this go on before."

Emily looked away, her hand dropping to her side, Amata pressed on, "Have you changed this much?" she asked, raising her voice, forgetting all about the super mutant threat a short distance away.

There was a long pause while Emily stared down at the ground away from her, almost as if she was ashamed.

"Okay..." she whispered, " you win, I'll save her."

Part 2 Emily

"I'm out of my mind..." Emily muttered as she loaded 'Victory', Her favourite rifle, before climbing the rock over the super mutants. She planned on taking out all the ones with guns first, the less bullet holes the better she thought. She looked over the last bit of stone that was obstructing her view, and gt a good look at the place for the first time. Her guess of the types of super mutants was right, with the basic and one of the brutes equipped with a ranged weapon. The master had a Chinese assault rifle with it, and she knew from experience that they were a better shot then one would normally assume, but the basic only had a hunting rifle, in very lower condition, and they weren't very good with any gun, they fought better with a plank of wood or a hammer instead.

She looked at their captive, a young woman with blonde hair, maybe a few years younger than herself, and looked like she's been through hell. She laid on her side, sobbing quietly into her hands as they laughed at her.

Resting on her stomach to conceal herself as best as possible, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes for a moment, trying to still her breathing as much as possible.

She had threatened Amata to stay back, saying that she would shoot her in the leg if she tried to get involved in the fight, but she didn't think she took her seriously, since she laughed at the statement. She probably thought that she wouldn't do it, and she was right.

She refocused on the super mutants, looking through the scope of her rifle, aiming at the back of the mutants head. She paused before shooting, if she didn't get a perfect shot, it wouldn't kill it, but if it was a good shot, then the .308 bullet would rip through his skull, killing him instantly.

It stood laughing over the girl, and then picked her up by the neck. She struggled weakly in vain, trying desperately to get him to let go, she even managed to kick it's face, but it didn't even notice. it stood so she was looking at it's side now, so she didn't need to fear of injuring the girl.

Emily took another breath, then pulled the trigger.

The gunshot cracked through the air, and she watched as the mutant fall to it's knee's as the bullet ripped through it's brain, releasing it's captive, it's body limp as it falls on the ground, lifeless. The girl stared wide eyed at it, and the other mutants looking around wildly. The master grabbed it's super sledge, storming over to the girl.

"YOU DIE NOW" It screamed at her.

She aimed at it's head, pulling the trigger immediately, and the bullet flew through the air into his head, and he fell forward, sliding dead in front of the terrified slave.

The other two screamed in terror, before running off, leaving the girl staring in wonder at them as they fled.

She sighed, then rested on her knee's, securing the rifle back on her shoulder. She was about to jump down to greet the girl, but instead Amata ran in.

"Are you okay?" She heard her ask, but she didn't hear her reply.

She climbed down the rock easily, and made her way to the two.

When she reached their side she crouched down, getting a good look at the girl for the first time. She had dirt and blood practically plastered to her face, with numerous cuts on her too, and her prediction with the copper wires was right, and they had cut deep into her skin, and her stomach was soaked red with fresh blood.

"We have to help her!" Amata told her, looking worried over at her.

She sighed again, "I know." She looked at the girls face, and noticed the girl was returning the stare with her Hazel eyes. "What's your name?"

Part 3 Amata

"Bryane" The girl said after a little hesitation.

Amata looked at Bryane's wounds, she was no doctor, but from what she could tell this girl had lost a lot of blood, she only hoped that Emily was feeling charitable.

Emily gave Bryane a reasuring smile, "Don't worry, your safe now." she told her. Amata's spirits rose, perhaps she wasn't completely gone.

The girl gave a small smile, before falling onto Emily's lap, unconscious.

Amata sat on the floor of Emily's house, petting her dog named Kane next to the bobble-head stand. Emily was tending to Bryane's wounds upstairs in her room, and she was told to wait down here. She took the free to think, about what her life was like before, and what it would be now. She wasn't too sure what would happen to her, if she would be allowed to stay with Emily or be cast out. If she was allowed to stay, how would she be able to help Emily? she couldn't fight, nor did she now anything about the wastes itself. She sighed, she wished everything could go back to the way it was, it was perfect, but it was still a good life, now it was gone forever.

She stood up, ignoring the whine from Kane, and looked at the Bobble-head Collection. She saw four of the little toys, all in different places. Medicine, Strength, Repair, and Intelligence. She looked closely at the inscription for Medicine, and it read:

'A smart man knows that a bandage only hides his wounds.'

A loud knocking at the door made her jump, and she turned from the stand to answer it. When she reached for the door knob she heard Emily snap at her.

"What are you doing?" she asked, and Amata turned and saw her walking down the stairs, a pistol in her hand.

"Answering the door?" she tried, not too sure what she was doing wrong.

Emily shook her head as she passed, and opened the door a crack, peering through it for a moment before opening it all the way, revealing a tall man dressed in a dirty leather trenchcoat, with a star on his chest, along with a cowboy hat that was equally dirty.

"What do you want Simms?" she sounded tired, and more than a little annoyed when she spoke.

Simms was frowning, a old beat up rifle gripped in his hands. "We got raiders all over the place outside Emily, we need your help, or everyone is gonna die." He told her plainly, waiting for her response, shifting uncomfortably while he waited for her reply.

Amata stared at Emily, gauging her reaction. She looked down at her feet for a few moments, and Amata was desperate to know what she was thinking. After a few anxious moments, she responded.

"Lets go."

Okai This chapter is long over due I realize, but I really don't feel bad about it.

It may not be great, but you can expect me to rewrite the entire story, so chapter 9 will have to wait a while :\

Thanks for reading, please review, and if you have any questions or anything please feel free to message me them. :)
