A New Start

Chapter 5

It was time. She was finally being taken to Grace Field. Emma had been waiting for this for a full year now...but...she definitely didn't like the tunnel. The minute her eyes landed on it she shivered a bit and felt the blood chill in her veins. This was the place where Connie died...and Hao...and so many other of her siblings. This was where so many children died and some even sold their souls to the demons to become Moms and Sisters...and more were taken to that Lamba facility to be experiments.

"Hush now little one. I know it's a bit chilly in here but it's alright. You're about to meet your Mama." Grandma was the one who delivered the babies to the orphanages it seemed, she was the one carrying Emma down the long dark tunnel towards the gate which was open.

Seeing the truck where she had seen Connie's body so long ago Emma whined a little in her throat again.

"It's alright now. Not much further." Grandma said and she adjusted the blanket that Emma was wrapped in to be a little more secure around the white clad infant.

"Isabella." Grandma said and Emma's eyes snapped over to the gate now. She knew that name. That's what Sister Krone had called Mama. That was the name the others had said after Grandma when Mom had become the Grandma.

"Grandmother Sarah. This is the new one then." That voice! That voice and that face! Emma's eyes widened and she smiled happily. It was true. She was really going to be with Mama?!

"Yes this is the new child. Number 63194. Her birthday is August 24th." Emma looked confusedly at Grandma. Why'd she change her birthday? Emma was born on the 22nd not the 24th so why...

Emma's eyes snapped back to Mama. Of course...being born in the same month wasn't strange but if she had been born on the same day as the day Mama had her baby then Mama would know immediately that Emma was hers. That's why they changed Ray's birthday too!

"I see..." Mama said and she was staring at Emma and Emma wondered for a long moment if Mama recognized her as being Mama's daughter.

"The name Emma should suffice for her." Mama said and Emma beamed. Mama was naming her! That meant that Mama named all the kids at Grace Field whenever she got them right?

"I'll note it down. It seems she likes it." Grandma said and then she held Emma out towards Mama who immediately gathered the child in her arms.

"Be warned she seems to have birthmarks on her body, rather strange ones. There are long almost scratch like marks on her back and smaller marks that look like puncture wounds on her stomach." Grandma said and Emma knew about those birthmarks, it gave the Sisters a right scare when they first changed her and saw them.

They were the wounds she had gotten when Grand Duke Lewis had stabbed her in Goldy Pond, the ones that had scarred.

"Strange..." Mama adjusted her grip on Emma to be more comfortable and Emma was beaming brightly. Mama! She had Mama back! She was back with Mama!

"Ma!" The word slipped from Emma's mouth and startled her and both of the older women who stared at her in surprise and disbelief.

"She seemed more advanced than other children her age. Her talking so soon isn't much of a surprise but the fact that she's immediately calling you Ma..." Grandmother trailed off and Emma giggled at the funny look on Mom's face. She had never seen her look so shocked but happy before.

"That's right little one. I'm your new mama." Mama said smiling softly at Emma and Emma liked that smile. It was the one Mama gave all the children, one full of love. She only gave the sad loving smile when it was time for one of the kids to be shipped out. When she knew she'd never see the child she had so lovingly cared for and raised again.

"Don't forget our deal Isabella. You do a good job and I'll tell you your daughters number when she is either shipped or seems to be a candidate for a being a Mom. Do a great job and I'll let you meet her and let her work through her Sister years with you." Grandma said and Emma's face immediately soured. So Mom was being blackmailed? She was being blackmailed to be a great farmer by Grandma. Grandma was blackmailing Mom with information on her daughter, who Mama had no way of knowing was right here in her arms.

"I know. I won't forget Grandmother." Mama said and she was tense as well but showed no sign of it on her face.

"Okay then Emma. Bye bye, you be good for your new Mama." Grandmother said waving at the baby who she was very eager to watch develop. After all this was quite the interesting experiment.

"Say bye bye to Grandmother Sarah, little Emma. Can you wave bye bye yet?" Mama asked smiling down at Emma and trying to get her to say another word or even just wave at the Grandmother.

Emma used all of the motor control she had in her tiny body, something she would have to work on soon, to do something that would have Mama laughing loudly once in her hidden room and had the tiny asshole demon laughing so loudly Emma could barely hear herself think over his roaring laughter.

Not that she could blame them. The look on the Grandmothers face was priceless.

Emma gave her best asshole look to the older woman and just as she raised a tiny fist as if to wave goodbye...she did something that Yuugo and Lucas had said was considered very rude to do. Of course that meant that Yuugo did it quite often but mostly towards Lucas who just laughed or towards demons that they were about to kill.

The one year old orange haired girl stuck up her middle finger.
