Yo! Minna! I finally came back but the exams are finished yet...Who cares anyways here's another chap!

(Flashback~!)
She stared at the bridge where the action had started taking place. And soon enough William motioned for Moran and Fred to get to work leading him to almost fall but than Sherlock fortunately caught him.

After an exchange of few words William slashed Sherlock's arms causing his grip on William to loosen.  And when William thought he could finally die ALONE...Sherlock jumped off with him. He kept them together with his arms which embraced both of them in a tight hug.

Before they submerged into the water she swore she saw a warm smile on William's face directed towards her direction...

(Flashback ended~)

Emilia forcefully woke up from her horror filled nightmare with pants and sweat. She placed a hand on her chest, breathing in and out to calm down herself. She sighed with a frown knowing that her nightmare had already come true and now there was no point in pretending that it never happened.

She massaged her head muttering 'ouch', as she tried to recall how she was in her bedroom at this hour. All she remembered was that she fainted when she saw William falling in the water, maybe Moran carried her till her bedroom? She wasn't sure but she swore that her head was spinning hard.

With great efforts she managed to get out of her bed and walk out of her room. When she closed the door to the her bedroom she felt a wave of eriee silence hit her causing her to shiver slightly. It was way quieter than usual, it was not the same household anymore which was filled with cheers like it used to be.

Another sigh escaped from her mouth as she trudged towards the living room in hopes of finding at least someone out there to ease her loneliness.

When she found a silhouette sitting on the sofa, she smiled out of joy and rushed to the couch where she found Moran sitting there with a lifeless expression. She straight up went and hugged him tightly which instantly shocked him yet after a few seconds he just petted her head gently.

"I am glad that at least you are here. I thought all of you left me alone...". Emilia muttered sheepishly as she released herself from the hug.

Moran just stared in her eyes with an open mouth, speechless of what to respond. Yet he shook himself hard and whispered, " All of them are sleeping in their own rooms. You should go too... "

" I have just woken up from my sleep... Anyways how did I end up in my bed all of a sudden? "

"You probably fainted due to the shock so I carried you all the way here."

"... Thank you Moran. "

A blanket of another silence befalled on them again as they were reminded of the harsh way of William's death.

"But let's try to live our lives happily, the way he wanted us to. "

"Yeah... "

Moran's dullness was entirely visible while Emilia looked like she was perfectly fine but on the inside she was breaking apart, and slowly it was affecting her both mentally and physically.

(Time skip 1 month~)

The household members had moved away from their mansion in Durham as the news of William being the Lord of Crime spread. So they settled somewhere far in London.

"Where are Emilia and Moran?" Louis raised a brow as he noticed the two empty seats in the dining table once again.

"Moran is probably hitting the bars and Emilia is...". Bond discontinued as he knew that the answer was extremely obvious, she was skipping her breakfast AGAIN.
