FAKE || The Promised Neverland

♛ Chapter 22 - Lost ♛

Y/n's POV

Y/n stood there in shock a lot has happened this past day but Emma lying on the ground in pain was the worst thing yet What did she do...to Emma... Y/n thought as she practically shook in fear and anger. "Mom... What happened to Emma's leg?" Ray asked pointing to Emma's bandaged leg which covered Emma's injury.

It's completely broken. In fact, I was the one who broke it." Mom said with a smile that did not match what she was saying "Mom..." Y/n said but couldn't finish her sentence, her voice caught in her throat, She was angry. Everyone else seemed to express madness too. "Don't worry. I broke it very cleanly, so it'll heal perfectly and completely with time. But she has to stay in bed for a while." Mom said as she started to pick Emma up, Emma showing no movement to resist. Mom continued, "I'd say at least a month or two. I hope she'll heal before your birthday Ray!" Mom said with a sweet smile on her face. how... how can she smile at a time like this?! "Norman... Make sure to hand that bad over to me as well." Mom said with Emma fully picking Emma up in her arms, as if a loving mom.

"Now children. Let's all head back to the house!" Mom said walking towards the direction of the house her back facing us. Emma seemed to be pasted out. Slowly after Y/n turned her head to face the way of the house and slowly started walking towards the house.

The walk was quiet, everyone processing what had happened today, everyone in shock. not even Don, who was usually the one to always have a big mouth, stayed quiet.

When we had reached the clearing our siblings stood staring in confusion and terror "Emma?" one said, "Is she ok?" another asked but by then Y/n had already zoned out.

Mom had brought Emma inside to take care of her while we sat outside in disbelief. "She took our ropes... Norman's about to get shipped... Emma has a broken leg and can't move... The plan was for us to complete the investigation and prepare to escape soon... But what now?!" Don asked his head in his hands  "We'll make sure Emma's leg gets better as quickly as possible. We can make new ropes, too. We'll manage to escape, and I'll make sure we do!" Ray said not facing us but, Y/n could tell from his voice, He was furious. "But right now, we need to focus on Norman," Ray said. Y/n nodded, her lips forced into a straight line.

"But why...? Why Norman, of all people? It's not like they found out our plan, right?" Gilda asked and Y/n shifted in her seat on the well "Yeah, It's weird! If higher scores equate to higher quality, shouldn't mom be concerned about saving Norman for last?" Don asked "Exactly. Normally, This situation just wouldn't make sense," Ray started then after a bit of time where it seemed he was thinking "She's eliminated Krone, cut ties with me and Y/n, and broken Emma's leg. all for the sake of shipping out Norman." Ray said "But... I still can't believe it... to think that even Sister Krone would get..." We literally just saw her before noon... alive and well" Don said with a terrified look.

Then after we decided to go to the room Emma was resting but, Y/n heard the sound of water in the kitchen and Y/n split from the group "One-second guys... I'll meet back up with you guys in the room." Y/n said, Ray, nodding n response. Then Y/n quietly made her way inside to dining hall. Y/n the turned her head to face the loud sound of the water running. Norman was couched on the floor his back facing her. Y/n quiet;y and quickly made her way towards him and placed her hand on his shoulder, Norman turned his head to face her, a terrified look on his face, a one with sorrow, and worry.

Y-Y/n..." Norman managed, his face wrinkled up "W-what are you doing here?" Norman said his hand holding a cup of water overflowing with water as the water kept flowing. instead of responding Y/n grabbed Norman in her arms, Norman let out a little gasp but quickly recovered, he let go of the cup and hugged me back, it was a long tight hug, Y/n ignored how wet and cold his hand was against her back. "I... don't want to die..." He said in a hushed voice, he seemed so small in her arms, like a child shaking in fear. Soon, Y/n pushed Norman away, grabbed the cup and filled it up with the cold water. Y/n looked at Norman who was slowly starting to get up, not looking in Y/n's eyes and she handed the cup to him, "Let's go, Emma and Ray must be wondering where we are." Y/n said looking at the slightly taller white-haired male "Y-yeah..." Norman said regaining composure then, we made our way to Emma's room.
