If i can lie, so can you.

third pov - emma

"Connie..?" the red head reluctantly spoke out. She stepped closer to the table that was laid out infront of her "C-connie!" she gasped looking at her sisters corpse sprawled out on the round table, there was an assortment of alcholol and fruit layed out. She let out a gasp, staring at the rotting body of her sister. She felt someones eyes staring at her from behind, sending a tingle up her spine. Someone? No, a monster was behind her running up to her, opening its jaw wide, salivating at the sight.

Emma shot up out of her dream, sitting upright on her bed. She hyperventilated with tears streaming down her no longer innocent face now knowing the truth.
"Its a dream..its a dream..its just a dream. Nothing is real about that..Im your normal eleven year old orphan in a normal orphanage..right?" she spoke to hereself.

"Im afraid not Em." Y/N spoke up from her bed next to Emma. "Its real, theres no denying, but its the cold hard truth layed out on a silver platter right infront of us, except we are the only ones who didnt touch the platter, unlike the ones eating up the lies on the plate." The H/Cette girl spoke rather harshly, the light in her E/C orbs shattered and left a dull and dead look. Just like their siblings.

Emma gasped "Y-y/n?! Why are you awake, heh you scared l-lil ol' me!" Emma cheered, well, she tried to. She came off as more awkward and afraid then cheerful.

"I havent slept, sometimes i never do. But does anyone know? No. Emma don't you see? The key to surviving here is lying, hide how you feel no matter what you know about the truth, showing whats going on in your head is making the inevitable get closer than it should." she spoke in a dim tone, slipping out of her bed and walking closer and closer to Emma's bed, propping herself up next to the ginger, holding her and carresing her head. Emma sobbed. And sobbed. And sobbed.

"Y-y/n..What do we do?! I cant just sit there and watch my siblings die until its my turn! We have to do something, please! Please help me Y/n!" She pleaded.

"Okay. Sure, i was going to ask you and Norman about making a plan tommorow in our freetime tommorow, but rest my poor Emma, you'll need it." She slipper back out of Emma's bed back into her own, not even batting an eye back her ginger sister and going back to "sleep" if she even could.

5am - Y/n pov

its five am isnt it..? yeah. it is, well better get upp! I stood up out of my bed, looking back at Emma, huh.. she's crying..in her sleep. hm, no matter to me, like i said we'll speak about it later. I walked to the bathroom humming a tune. I brushed my teeth, had a shower, washed my hair, changed into my  uniform which is bound to be stained with my own blood one day.

3rd pov

"Timee to get up guyss!! Rise and shine, the suns bright, it'll be a beautiful day!" Y/n chirped startling the children stirring them in their sleep. "Come onnn!! dont make go get the pans and make them go clink and clankk!!" She put her hands on her hips huffing.
"Goodmorning big sis.." "Ughh" "Its soo earlyyy!" were heard across the room. Emma was the last one to awake. "Morning Em, rough night?" The H/C girl smiled sweetly at Emma "Uh- Yeah! aha rough night!" she sprinted out of bed to get ready, looking like shes about to cry.

downstairs - kitchen/diningroom

"Goodmorning Mama!!" various children said to the rotten yet sweet woman walking by. "Oh goodmorning my darlings! Can you do mama a favour and help set the table?"
"Of course we can!" They giggled and ran off.
Emma and Y/N walked down the stairs together, Y/N's eyes, filled with "innocence" and curiosity practically lit the whole house up, whilst emma walked down slowly, like a zombie, looking like one aswell. Her hair messier than usual and eyebags. She stared at mama walking past, her face filled with horror. Norman walked through holding childrens hands, letting go once he saw Emma and Y/N.
"Ah! Goodmorning N/N, Emma!" He said with cheer. "Morning normie!" Y/N waved with a grin. "Yeah, good morning norman.."
He walked past emma and whispered down her ear, "smile emma, you look to obvious." he said behind gritted teeth, walking away, Y/N moving to follow behind, emma forced a smile and "cheerfully" tagged along.

All the children were happily sat down at the dining table, happily chowing down on perfectly cooked food in their "perfect" lives, the house was filled with chirps of laughter, banter, and various conversations.
Whilst everyone was cheerful, Emma was sat down sulking, messing with her food, yet it layed untouched. "Hey emma, you gonna eat that?" Y/n asked practically drooling at the untouched food hoping she could just get a bite seeming she'd finished hers.
"H-huh? Oh yeah! totally..yeah..im eating it.!" she snapped out of her trance, trying to not thinking about last night.
"No fairr, theres not gonna be any leftovers todayyy!" Y/n whined.
"Now now child, you know if you all are hungry you are always welcome to bake snacks aslong as you make enough for everyone, especially since your freetime is next!" Mama clasped her hands together to cheer up the disappointed h/cette. Y/n huffed wanting emmas scraps.

FREETIME
_________________

"Listen here Emma, Y/n, we have to act normal, not even showing a glimpse of what we know to anyone. Yesterday we broke the rules and went to the gate but we didnt find anything." Norman spoke sternly, thinking about what might just happen to them if Mama finds out.
"B-but little bunny.." Emma muttered
"Yes Mama probably found it, but she doesnt know who left it there."
"Mom was smiling..acting like nothing happened..knowing one of her children had been murdered.." Emma added, her childish orbs getting glossy.
"And thats exactly what we have to do. Lying and deceiving might just be our way out of here, and do you think mama has noticed anything suspicious about me or Norman yet? No, so if i can lie, so can you. " Y/n added, having an unphased look on her face, almost as if she already knew about this. But do Norman and Emma really have to know that?
"If our faces show what we feel, Mama will understand, and if none of us can do that, we might aswell be just as good as dead." Y/n continued.
"Y/n's right, lets all smile!" norman changed his once so serious expression to that of an innocent child, young and pure.
