You laid on your bed, completely still and relaxed. Nothing was on your mind as you laid there flat on your back. Your skirt flared out above your legs, your boots laid next to your bed. Your eyes were opened as you stared at the ceiling. The room was dark, and the moonlight cast a white light around the silent room. Your hands laid over your chest, laced together. It was complete silence,

no talking,
no laughing,
no foot steps,
nothing.

The only thing you could hear was the soft breathing of your siblings around you. They were all sleeping soundly in their beds. Ignorant to what was happening at the gate. You were among the ignorant. 10 minutes ago, Conney departed from Grace Field house. She left, with a smile on her face. After your encounter with Ray, you went straight to your shared room. You didn't move, as you enjoyed the peace. Your ears slightly shifted when you heard the door open, and closed softly. Your eyes shifted towards the door, as you could hear hushed talking. You couldn't understand what they were saying, but you new that it was multiple from their foot steps. They came closer to your room, then stopped in front of your door. You didn't move an inch as you waited for the door to open. When it finally creep open, you didn't pretend to sleep, as the two children opened the door. Norman and Emma stood there at the opened door. A stressed look was upon their shaken faces. You blinked as you studied their faces. 'Ring' your hand touch your right ear. Your sudden movement caught their eyes, as they looked to you. Their eyes widen at your stare. You then whispered. "Hey, welcome back. You softly stated." 'Ring' Your hand touched your right ear. Emma stiffened as her green eyes saw yours. Norman eyes widen slightly in shock, but he quickly blinked and he returned to normal. "Hey, (Y/N). How are you?" He kindly asked as he smiled at you. You laid there, no emotion could be seen on your face as you watched them. 'They're nervous.' You thought as you studied them with unamused eyes. Emma stiffen even more as she studied your face. 'Does she know about it? Has she always known?' She fearfully thought as she began to shake. Her hands gripped her skirt, as she pulled on it. She flinched when Norman gently placed his hand on her shoulder. She looked over at him with fearful and confused eyes. "Emma, relax." He whispered as he continued to stare at you. Emma looked at him, then nodded her head. She looked back over at you. You continued to lay on the bed, in the same position your head was now more turned in their direction. "I'm fine Norman, thanks for asking. What happened?" 'Ring' you touched your right ear. You didn't miss a beat, you knew that Norman was trying to throw you off. 'He don't want me to know something.' 'Ring' you touched your right ear. You though as you eyes narrowed slightly. However, he forgot that you were stubborn and sometimes one track minded. His eyes darken some at your response. "No where special, we were just taking Conney her bunny." He said with a kind smile, but his eyes were dark. Emma snatched her head over to Norman in shock. 'Why did he tell her?' She thought in confusion. You slowly blinked at his response. Your finger twitched at the thoughts that raced through your mind. 'Ring' you touched your right ear. "Conney left her bunny?" 'Ring' you touched your right ear. You asked as you continued to lay there. Norman nodded his head as he smiled down at you. His hand on Emma's shoulder dropped down to his side, as he suddenly looked drained of all his energy. Emma still held a frown on her face, but she seemed to have calmed down quite a lot. "Yeah, so we went to go take it to her, Ray said that we could still catch her if we hurried, but." He trailed off as he closed his eyes, his smile wavered a bit. Your brow twitched at the sudden waver. 'Ring' You touched your right ear. We didn't make it in time. Emma finished for him. A sad frown laid on her face as she stood their in the door way. He opened his now dead, dull eyes as he looked to the floor. You blinked at their sadden expressions. 'Why be that sad?' 'Ring' you touched your ear. You thought as you studied their faces. "So you gave it to mom?" 'Ring' you touched yournright ear.You curiously asked. 'Their story isn't adding up, but I won't pry into it.' 'Ring' you touched your right ear. You thought as you kept your face passive the whole time. Norman eyes widen at the mention of 'Mom' while Emma eyes held fear in them once more. Your eyes lowered as realization set in. "Oh, I see." 'Ring' you didn't touch your ear. You suddenly said, as you flipped over on your side, facing away from them. 'Ring' you didn't touch your ear. You got comfortable as you sighed and relaxed. 'Ring' you didn't touch your ear. Your right arm bend as the hand laid under your head, while your left hand rested on your side. Norman eyes widen in shock at your sudden action and statement. "What do you mean?" He asked in shock as he gazed at your form. You laid there silently as you ignored him. He frowned at the sudden neglect. "(Y/N), what did you mean?" He asked again, but with much more force in his voice as he frowned. His eyes no longer held fear as he gzaed at you. Emma eyes were wide with shock and fear, as a sudden thought crossed her mind. She stepped back some, staggering in shock. "(Y/N), did you know?" Emma whispered, fear evident in her eyes. Norman looked over to her, stress was on his face as he gazed at her. "Emma?" He questioned her, he was shocked by her sudden answer, he suspected that you knew from your reaction, but he didn't think of saying anything. Emma ignored him as she stayed silent waiting for your response. You continued to lay there silently. Emma eyes suddenly flared in anger and determination. She stomped forward to your bed. Norman grabbed her arm. "Emma, wait." He called out to her, but she shook him off as she continued towards your form. You laid there, ignoring her present. Emma glared down at your form, anger was there as she glared at you. "(Y/N), answer me. Did you know?" She demanded with a fierce voice. You laid there, unmoving. She snared as she opened her mouth to yell. Norman eyes widen as he raced over to Emma. "Emma don't!" He hushly yelled as he ran to her. However, it all stopped when you suddenly looked over at her. 'Ring' you didn't touch your ear. You gazed up at her, with a victorious look in your eyes. A slight smirk laid on your face as you looked up at her. Emma and Norman gazed down at you. Emma refused to waver from the look. While Norman stood from afar, and waited for a response. "I don't know anything, but I do now." 'Ring' you touched your ear. You stated at them with an amused tone. Emma and Norman eyes widen in shock as they sucked in their breaths. They stared down at you in shock at your sudden response. You looked up at them with an amused expression. Norman calmed his breath as he closed his eyes. Once he was sure of himself. He opened his eyes. Now calm and gentle. "(Y/N), there's nothing wrong, Emma is just tired and ready for bed. Right Emma?" Norman stated in a calm voice, as he looked over to Emma. Emma numbly nodded as she locked eyes with you. "Oh, is that so? So there's nothing wrong? You tried to give Conny her toy, but she was already gone. So you left it on mom's desk?" 'Ring' you touched your right ear. You concluded, your amused expression has fallen off, and now held a passive look once again. Norman nodded as he blinked. His eyes calm and gentle, with a darkness deep within them. 'She know something. We both have a secret now.' Norman thought as he looked down at you. Emma stepped back slowly, till she fell back onto her bed. It was right next to yours. "Yes, that's exactly what happened. We're sorry if we sacred or worried you." He said, as he closed his eyes and gave a fake gentle and kind smile. You blushed at the look, and looked away, 'Ring' you didn't touch your right ear. Your back was facing him once more. You hated it when he smiled at you like that. Everyone knew that he held a special smile that he only held for Emma, and when he gave that fake look to you. It hurt your heart. But you came to reality that he only had eyes for Emma, so you never felt sorry for yourself when he did that. Instead you'd look away and keep going. "It's okay. No heart feelings. Goodnight." 'Ring' you didn't touch your right ear. You whispered in a sadden voice, as you began to curl up, and relax. Emma bowed her head in the look of shame. Norman opened his now suspicious eyes and his smile left. "Yeah, no heart feelings." He said, in a sweet voice as he turned away from your bed. You laid there, as you listened to Emma get up from the bed, and they both made their way out the room. They closed the door, and all was quite again. You laid there as you looked out the window. The moon was high with some dark clouds around it. You studied the view with an empty mind. The conversation that you held with Emma and Norman wasn't important to you anymore. You closed your eyes as you dismissed the conversions. 'After all, I have my own problem to worry about.' 'Ring' you touched your right ear, and began to gently caress it. 'But we do have a common enemy.' You thought as you continued to message your ear as it ringed again. You relaxed your arm once more as you laid there, then slowly began to close your eyes.
