Making Fake Happiness Real \\ ᵣₐ𝑦

Learning the Truth

I woke up around 1am a started to walk to the library, as I had been to do by Norman. As I was about to open the door, I could feel tension coming from the other side of the door. Do I really want to go inside? I could feel my heart starting to race, as I opened the door feeling uneasy about my decision. "H-hi" I said starting to feel a headache. "Glad you could make it (Y/N)" said Norman. I looked around the room seeing Emma and Ray."So what did you guys want me to meet you here for", I said taking a seat. I could feel my headache getting worse. I put my down on the table, hoping that it would help."We have something to tell you", said Emma. As I began to lift up my head I noticed that Ray had moved, he had moved behind Emma and Norman. It almost looked as if he was saying something. I sat my head back down onto the desk.

Ray pulled me and Emma back so that he could whisper in our ears. "Are you sure that you should do this? She already looks worried, and I don't even want to mention how I saw her earlier today." "What are you talking about, I mean she did ask me you told me anything-" I was cut off mind sentence. "She's not ready for the truth. You two have been stressing her out!" I guess that we've stopped whispering. "What did I do to her?", said Emma. I looked back at (Y/N), she hadn't moved. Come to think of it, she didn't even flinch when we broke our whisper and began to argue. I got up to walk toward her to she if she was ok,"(Y/N), are you ok? We didn't mean to-", I hugged her hoping that it would reassure her and have her know that I'm being genuine. "We weren't purposely stressing you out." She hugged me back, but I couldn't tell if she just did I because she felt that she had to or because she knew that we were genuinely sorry. "Thank you," I heard her say as she began to lift up her head. "Norman, you and Emma mean so much to me. I didn't like the thought that I did something to make you upset." "None of this was your fault, Emma and I were just trying to figure something out." "I do have a question though, why didn't you guys just tell me this in the morning?" I stood up.

Your p.o.v

I felt relieved but that feeling quickly faded. "(Y/N), we have something really important to tell you", said Ray. "You guys can trust me." Ray began to walk over to me and grabbed my hand. Norman walked back over to Emma. "O-ok.", it's going to be ok (Y/N). "There are demons on the other side of the gate, that's why mom doesn't want us over there.", said Norman. I could feel my grip tighten. "All of our siblings weren't adopted, but harvested to be food for them.", said Emma. I chuckled to myself a little. This is so dumb, do they really think that I'd believe something like that. " (Y/N), you have to trust us, we know that it sounds unbelievable but we are telling the truth.", said Norman.

"Is it true?", I said now with a straight face, knowing that if he said yes then he wasn't lying. "I'm afraid so.", he said. " All of them, e-even Conny?" I said feeling my eyes tear up. They all silently nodded. I could feel my body go numb as I began to cry and fell to the floor. " d-does mom g-give is t-to the d-demons?", I said hoping that the answer would be no. "Mom is now our enemy.", said Ray setting me back onto the chair; and bringing me into a short hug. "She's a fake, she doesn't love us.", I said in a whisper only loud enough for Ray to hear. I some how managed to collect myself and dried my tears as I stood up, now with full control of my body,"T-Thank you for telling me. You don't want me to tell anyone, right?" They all nodded their heads. "B-but who all knows the truth?" "Only us four, for now at least.", said Emma. "We should probably head back to bed.", said Norman.

"This gives me weird deja vu, all this talk about demons and secrets feels so familiar, but from where", I said under my breath. 'Like some memory being brought back into my life.'

We all walked out of the library as we went to our rooms. I laid in my bed scarred to close my eyes. But I still managed to fall asleep.
