Yes. You are heartless. Manipulating another's feelings to obtain your desires.

"I'm worried about Ray. I don't think he can snap out of it. Not after what happened to Norman." Said Emma in hush, her face was sulking as she melted onto her bed. You weren't paying attention, you just stared into the window, not saying anything. "Y/N?" The orange haired girl said in worry, turning over you. You finally answered.

"Hm? Oh, about Ray?"

You asked. She nodded her head. "Y'know we need Ray to escape right?" She grumbled, plopping on the mattress.

"Don't worry Emma," you smirked. "I took care of it." Truly, you were cold and cruel.

She looked as though she was startled jumping up in shock. "What do you mean?" She interrogates, energy pumping through her body. "I mean Ray seems fine to me now, look," you pointed at Ray. The boy was smiling, and when he saw you pointing at him, he blushed. You shot him a wink and he seemed to blush even harder. "See," you chuckled, relaxing lazily on the chair.

But Emma didn't look to happy. "What did you do?"
She asked, her tone laced with ambivalence. You flashed a mishevious grin and stayed silent. Indeed, you used Ray and pretended as though you were in love with him, when really your heart was set for only one. Norman. But it was for everyone sake, right? If you didn't do it now, how could he assist you from the moment the children needed him the most. You couldn't escape without his skills.

Fire blared from the inside of the home, robbing all means of existence within it. Emma called to the woman, seeking for help, only to fool the Mother with her wicked tricks. Emma gathered the children outside, accompanied by you and Ray. Your left ear was gone, leaving bloody trails behind your hasty steps.

All orphans climbed atop of the wall, throwing cloths and ropes to the other side with ease. With each second that drifted, your heart pounded with concern and you couldn't help look back if the woman was watching the very movements you made. One by one, each child was safely transported into the other side. It seemed like hours to you, tapping your feet on the ground, you walked around the wall to clear your head and your arms folded into your chest impatiently. We're you going to do it? Was the ultimate question. There wasn't a possibility to get back and join the others... so why now? "Hey," someone voiced behind you. It was Ray. He had a beautiful little girl on his back, who had swollen brown eyes.

"O-oh, you going?" You asked, voiced shaky and your face drenched it sweat. "Yeah, it's our turn now, I'll see you there," he gave your hand a tight squeeze, pecking your cheek as he walked away to slip into the ropes with the girl. At this point, you were left with Emma who beamed in joy. "Y/N, you go," she offered. But you smiled.

"You go first," you replied softly, wrapping yourself within the white cardigan. She looked unsure, but she nodded and went ahead. Shortly after, she was gone. "Y/N!" They shouted, signalling you to join them. But you stood in place, not shifting your small body to do anything. They seemed too far. And fear seeped in you like snakes.

You sighed, your breathing slowed as if you had found tranquility in a quick pace. Leisurely, your fingers hooked in a branch and with swift actions, you had the rope undone and free. The kids looked at you in absolute horror and confusion.

"Y/N!? How are you going to get back!?" Emma shrieked in the air with confusion.

"I'm sorry," you whispered."OI IDIOT," the black haired boy screamed. Tears began to fulfill the orange haired girl's eyes as she collapses onto the ground, not ripping her sight at you and your recklessness.

"Y/N?" Sounded from the woman, her knees fell to the ground. You looked back with a small twinkle in your face. "All this time you despised me, and yet... you stay by my side," Said Isabella heartily, her face contorted into genuine tenderness and love.

You placed your arms around her waist, pressing your head on her stomach. You gave her a embrace, snuggling closer to her warm body.

"It's because I love you, Mama." You declared with softness.
