Dark Parables: the Curse of Briar Rose.

Moths to a Flame

Parn's Pov

Something's not right with Emily, she seems more on edge for a reason. "Emily? Mon chere are you alright?" "yeah, i'm fine why?"

 "I am just making sure your fine little mouse that all. you know i care about you." "i know you care about me parn i know." "then why shy away from me?"

 "i don't! i just...got too much to think about at the moment that's all." "i know you do but you can't let your mind be consumed by all of your thoughts. At times you might have to treat them as you would a simple child sometimes and indulge them."

"...alright. that sounds like it could be a plan." i stared down at her as she squeezed my hand little tighter as we walked into what i guessed what was Briar's room with a locked cabinet,a bed,a small chest as well as a table with the 2nd door handle on it."well now we can get into that 2nd room now!" emily jumps for joy as soon as she picked up the door handle."and maybe find briar in that room as well...um emily?" "yes?" "what on earth are you doing?" "what does it look like i'm doing?" "it looks like your going to make that wardrobe fall by pulling on the lock." as soon as i said that it started to fall on top of emily i was about to race towards her to catch it from falling when she pushed it back on the ground on her own...how can she do that? that thing has to weight more than herself. Where on earth did she earn that much strength? "parn? you ok? what's up with the blank stare?" she waved her hand in front of my face to make me snap out of my thoughts. "I'm Fine, i am just amazed you can do that." "what? oh you mean pushing that back into place? i've always been strong like that nothing else to it." Emily then suddenly scamper off into the hall trying  to avoid my gaze i know that She's definitely hiding something from me,something that she doesn't want anyone to know about due to the sudden way that she scatter. I followed her into out into the hall as i saw her placing the 2nd handle onto the doors as she pushed them forward into the next room she looked to be in a daze state of mind. "little mouse?" there was no response from her as i called her."Mon Chere?" still nothing from her as she examined the broken glass from a window in briar's parents room as i noticed the torch from the bed's stand for the canopy...wait a torch?! That's it! "Emily.Fixate your eyes on this." "a torch? so what about it?" i rolled my eyes at her acting as if she was dense as she walked towards me."think Mon Chere. what did i say about Chi before?" "um. that she didn't like the light?" "yes and what is a torch?" "well that depends which version you mean either you mean the British term for it with is a flash-light OR you mean a actual torch with the whole 'fire on a stick' one." "it's light mon chere. we've found our way of getting rid of Chi." "wait...we've gotta head back into the spider basement don't we?" "yes,yes we do." "ugh..i hate spiders!" she wines as she stomps her foot on the ground and puffing up her cheeks as well as crossing her arms like a child having a fit."Emily.  knock it off and act your age." "i am...i just hate spiders with a burning passion. heh pun." "*sigh* puns are a thing with you aren't they my lady?" "yeah... i thought you already caught on to that when i made all the cat ones." "i just thought you were being a smart-alack at the time." "i'm all ways a smart alack!" she grinned at me as she pointed at herself with her thumb giggling while she does.Cute."Come on chere let's go and set that spider a-flame." "coming!..your starting with the puns too." "well what can i say your puns seem to be  rubbing off on to me mon chere."we started down for the church after leaving the green rooms (Now that we found this torch we can finally see what that old hag's hiding and why she's having Chi watching it.) 

Emily's POV

Maybe I should tell him. it would make things a lot easier on the both of us and i won't have to keep hiding this secret from him...No i-i can't. Ella always said never EVER tell anyone about  or else they might run from me or kill me or even the worst option, drag me off and lock me up in a nut-house like Rutledge Asylum. It almost took ellie and dani a whole week just to convince them that i wasn't as mad as a hatter so they wouldn't take me in...but they both knew the truth of what happened to me. I can't lose it.Not now. Not ever.
