Neverland

7

It's late at night when the children gathered to have a discussion. Neither of them knew what would come from having the discussion. For the worse or better.

At first, everyone is quiet. Don and Gilda sit down at a table in front of the quadruple. Emma and Norman are sitting across from them while Ray leaned against the wall behind them. Karma stood between Norman and Emma.

"So?" Ray starts.

"We went to Mom's secret room." Don confesses.

"How?" Emma asks, surprised.

"Don stole the key." Gilda tells her. "I don't think she noticed, so probably-"

Gilda is cut off by Ray, who scolds the two.

"You did something really stupid. What if the room had a security system? What then? If Mom or Sister found out, you two...no, all of us would be-"

"Would be what?" Don interrupts.
"Go on, Ray. Tells us."

Ray holds back his words.

"Would we get killed?" Don looks towards Emma with an angry face.
"We found Little Bunny in the secret room. So much for your 'I don't know' and 'let's go save them'! We can't save them, can we?! Because Conny and everyone else is..."

Emma lets down her guard.
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!" She bows.

"So they're really.." Gilda says shocked.

"I told you, Gilda. They lied to us." Don got in Karma's face. "Now tell us the truth."

Karma thinks for a moment. She looks at Emma and Norman.

Then the truth was told.

"Demons? A farm?" Don says, shocked.

"We're food..." Gilda is equally shocked as well.

"You two are spies? The whole time?" Don looks at Karma and Ray. "That means you two knew this entire time about what would happen to Conny."

Karma was about to say something, but then decides to remain silent.

Don gets up and walks around the table to the quadruple.

All of the sudden, Don begins to cackle. Everyone continues to remain silent, but looked ashamed.

And that's when things made a quick turn.

Don punches Norman in the face, causing him to fall on the floor.

"Are you serious?!" Don is enraged.

"Norman!" Karma shouts.

"Don, stop-!" Ray goes towards Don, only for Don to turn around to slap Ray. But Karma got in the way and took the hit.

"Don, wait--Ngh!"

"Karma!" Ray knelt down to her and noticed a mark on her face.

"K-Karma..." Don froze for a moment.

With a furious face, Ray gets up and looks at Don.
"You need to control yourself or-"

Don's anger returns and slaps Ray to the ground.

Karma's eyes widen and now she's mad. She gets up and slaps Don.

"Calm down!" Karma ordered. "Slapping us won't bring any good at all. We're sorry we've lied to you and Gilda-"

"Are we that much of a burden?" Don looks down. "Are we that weak and useless?"

Karma pauses at Don's words.

"When you asked us to help you, I thought you were relying on us. Was that a lie?"

Karma's face saddens at Don's questions.
