Y/n's POV

6 o'clock sharp. the day began with the morning bells chiming as usual, "Good Morning Ray, Emma." Y/n said looking over at them. Emma was looking quite deflated, Ray looked normal but you knew that Ray was just hiding it all under his mask... much like Y/n. "Morning." Emma responded, "Good morning you two." Ray said and headed off, Emma doing the same except Y/n kept her eye on Emma who headed over to the spot we all used to sit at "Good morning, Nor..." You heard Emma say, her back facing you. Y/n could feel the heaviness in your chest get heavier "Emma..." Y/n said reaching out your had but you bring it back to your side Norman is gone.

Waking up Norman is gone.

Breakfest, Normans gone.

Tests, Normans gone.

Free time, Normans gone.

He's never coming back.

Y/n sat at the stump of the tree she usually sits at, where the four of us used to sit... Now just Emma and Y/n did, Ray was sitting depressed in his room... or that was what Y/n thought he was doing, None of us really had anything else to anyway.

"Emma, Y/n come on we need to talk in the dining hall." A voice said coming from in front of her, all she could see was a pair of two shoes. Y/n looked up, standing in front of her was Don holding out his hand to both Y/n and Emma and after a moment of silence, Emma took his hand and Don helped her up, Y/n turned her head to face Emma who was now standing up next to Don, her crutches supporting her, then, Y/n reached out and grabbed his hand as well and we headed inside to the dining hall.

Ray and Gilda were already waiting for us, Ray looked horrible, he was stumped on his chair his hand on his lap. Soon everyone was standing around Ray, "Screw it all. Let's all just die here." Ray said "Huh?" Emma questioned, Y/n looked away she didn't want to see someone she cared so much about give up hope. "We can't do this. we're on a cliff too high to jump off of. the only bridge that leads to the other side is connected to the HQ." Ray said, and only from the shuffling of Gilda and Dons movements, Y/n could tell that they were also taken aback, "and most of all... I'm tired. I'm just exhausted..." Ray said in a hopeless voice. Y/n's hands balled up into fists, angered at how Ray had given up. "Then... what about this?" Emma said holding out the tracker disabler that Y/n had given to her the day before because she asked for it.

"Don't care. You  can have it." The dark-haired depressed boy said "Run if you'd like. I'm no longer part of the plan." Ray said continuing "...I'm sorry Y/n... Emma." Ray apologized looking up finally letting us see his face, his hopeless face full of despair. "Emma!" You heard Gilda say as Emma ran away as fast as she could with her crutches "Ray... how dare you!" Y/n yelled at him tears running down her face and she reached her hand up and swung it as hard as she could, slapping him. Ray made a face of shock and put his hand to his cheek where I had slapped him "Emma wait up!" You yelled and ran over towards the direction of where Emma had run off to.

Soon Y/n was able to catch up to her, You opened the door to our room, Y/n had no doubt Emma would be here, and indeed she was "Emma..." Y/n said walking in and closing the door behind herself, Emma was sprawled on her bed, her crutches leaning on the bed, Emma didn't respond so Y/n carefully walked over to Emma and embraced her in a big hug, Emma stayed limp in her arms, tears running down her cheeks soaking Y/ns shirt. Y/n closed her eyes and Emma hugged you back her warm embrace comforting.

Then, Y/n felt a presence in front of her, Y/n opened her eyes, mom was standing there, Emma seemed to realize as well and jumped a little, making Y/n let go of her "I did knock, you know?" Mom said her piercing eyes on both Emma and Y/n "Did you both not hear me perhaps?" Mom said, "...You poor things..." Mom said reaching her hands out to hug us, we didn't resist. "You two must be in pain. you both must be suffering." Mom said her warm embrace just like how moms should be. "Norman died... Ray refuses to do anything... and with just both of you left alone, there's nothing you could possibly do! You've lost your wings... realized that you're trapped... and lost you've lost two members of your little group." mom said, her voice sweet. "You poor poor things... I can only imagine your despair. You both must accept that escape attempts are futile at this point. Give up already, my beautiful children." Mom said slowly realizing us from her clutches, "The only way to cure this pain that's making you suffer so much... is to simply give up." Mom said kissing each of our heads, her words filling Y/n with despair, No... "You both must accept your fate to save yourself. It'll work like a charm. you'll be feeling great in no time!" Mom continued, feel great in no time...? "Conflict will always hurt. You must understand what you cannot change" Mom said sitting in between us, putting her arms around us.

"Emma, Y/n you know... If only you two were completely willing, I would gladly recommend you both to the higher-ups to be a mom." Mom said in a sweet voice. "a candidate... for becoming a mom?" Emma and Y/n both said at the same time. "That's right," Mom confirmed. 'You'll get to grow up... give birth to a child... and if they deem your abilities worthy, you'll be able to return to a house as a mom or a sister. You two are special children that get the right to obtain this option. if you two wish, I would gladly whip up a strong recommendation for you both" Mom said smiling at both of us a mom... "I bet I can guess what you two are thinking 'who in their right mind would wish for that? But Y/n, Emma... Think... what would better could you accomplish? You can't do a thing. You two cant save a single life. You'll just continue to sure your fate until the day of your death." Mom said pulling us into a small hug, "Live, live on and pursue your career as a mom. Accept your situation and be at ease." Mom said, her sweet voice had now come to terrify Y/n.

"Reckless Ideals. your native sense of justice. an impossible escape. your will to go against a fate you can't change. Become a mom and give up on everything else." Mom said as she tried to look into Y/n's eye's but Y/n looked at anything, BUT her eye's "Let yourself feel better." Mom said her gaze cold. "No... that's the one thing I could never do" Emma said and Y/n's gaze feel on her, she was holding the blanket tightly in her fist's, her head facing  down, Y/n admired Emma's ability to never give up, Y/n smiled a bit. "Fine then, struggle all you want and die when the time comes. You won't get away. I nor any of the others will allow that to happen. let it sink into you guy's stubborn mids as you continue your futile attempts." Mom said getting up after that she stood there for a bit then, foot steps and the sound of the door closing.

Time skip

I don't know how long it has been since mom had asked me and Emma to become moms, Days go by really fast now-a-days, tomorrow Ray will be getting shipped out. I have to prepare. Y/n got up and put on her shoes. She had tipped Emma about what Ray was going to do tonight.

The door opened and Emma appeared "Emma, We got the things you asked for!" Thoma said holding the box holding containing everything Emma had asked fir, it was all going according to plan, "Also, everyone is ready to go whenever you're ready!" Lannion said with a smile, almost matching Y/n's. Behind Emma was Ray drenched in what she imanged to be oil, He looked surprised, Y/n chuckled at the look on his face, Ray didn't seem to notice.

"Thanks Thoma, Lani, Y/n!" Emma said smiling at the three of us and Y/n walked inside the room and stuffed anew outfit and boots into Ray's arms, "Here." I said "Get changed, you reek of oil" You said sticking out your tongue "We'll explain later" Emma said, she had the box with 'Ray's replacement' in it "Everything is according to Norman's plan." Emma said in a happy tone "Lets escape together Ray!" We all said together.
