Emily's Links
Emily was startling to Elise -- her strings of fate went down, down, through the earth, and were blackened and bruised by time. In the end, Elise is the only person (she thinks) who knows Emily is a demon. In turn for her correct guess, Emily taught her the severities of life's strings that her mother never could manage and handed her a pair of glowing black scissors. Frightened, Elise had hidden them in her drawer. Ever since, Emily has occasionally poked her head into Elise's pretty little shop, and Elise has always made time for her.
