Emerald didn't know Rowan, this was the first time they'd really met. Though she immediately struck her as a rather kind and caring individual, and even with all the dark thoughts going through Emerald's mind she started to feel a little less terrified than before. She had to remember that she was safe now, those things couldn't reach her here in Beacon. 

And yet while she knew that, part of her still trembled, as if her mind and body were in conflict. She looked at Rowan with her big eyes, being uncharacteristically silent. She had however stopped crying for the moment.
