"I've been going for four days straight, crying, getting angry, and being starved, I can't tell what's going on with me..." Emma's parched voice whispered.

"I hope Anna isn't mad at me...of course she is. I wonder how Norman is? I should just tell him the truth. He wouldn't want to be friends with a sociopath..." Emma held her throat.

"I don't think he would even want to see my face again..." She looked at the burning sun.

Maybe I should just give up, and die.

I've done enough sins in my life. 

Hurt enough people.

I don't want to hurt them anymore...


Emma started to close her eyes.

She couldn't tell where she was anymore.

Everything in her head was confusing.


"I don't deserve...anyone." She put her hands to her eyes and slowly said what she thought was her last words.



"I spot someone..." A familiar voice pointed, as a horse galloped towards her.

"I-it's..." Norman couldn't even finish the sentence before covering his mouth.

"Emma!" Oliver came forward.

"But no one else is here..." Ray looked around.

Prince Norman immediately jumped off his horse and went on his knees.

"Her pulse is still going!" Norman exclaimed as he gripped her hand.

"Then calm down," Prince Ray patted his shoulder.

"But it looks like she hasn't drank anything. She seems so empty and pale." Norman looked up at Ray.

"Well none of us brought water. Nor food, so she'll have to wait, I guess." Ray shrugged.

"Don't you care about her? How long do you think she was staying out here?! Two days? Four days? It could have been a whole week! And your saying I guess!" Norman shouted, and then lowered his voice.

"Look, I care about her as much as you do. She's literally betrothed to me, but right now we're all in the same situation!" Ray shouted back.

"I thought you didn't care about betrothing! What about the maid or something?!" Norman felt his voice increase again.

"I told you I can't married to her! Besides even if I like her, she probably doesn't like me back so shut up already!" Ray pointed. 

"Um...I guess this is somewhat of sibling love and rivalry." Oliver watched the pair and told them to stop.

"Let's just get her home as quick as possible." Prince Oliver scooped her up and put her on his horse.

"It's amazing how we all found her in less than a week." Norman slowly stated, he couldn't stop watching her.

Ray didn't reply and just got on his horse.

He was deeply thinking.

"Maybe give Ray a second...we didn't find his Mother after all, so maybe he's a bit overwhelmed...my question is who dropped Emma here?" Oliver told Norman.

"Yeah...what if she left herself here?" Norman looked at Oliver.

"That doesn't seem like a thing Emma would do, but Emma changes a lot." Oliver murmured as they trotted forward.
