As soon as they arrived back at Lambda, Emma rushed to the nearest bathroom and inspected her neck in the mirror, and, sure enough, she saw the faintest scars of a removed Gracefield ID. Emma stared at her reflection in a mix of distress and discomfort. She backed away and ran over to her room and grabbed the teddy bear and went back underneath the bed. She searched and scanned the files for any sign or clue that she is a Gracefield cattle child until she found it

Biological mother: 53684, Sienna

{~'∆*∆'~}

Sienna? Who's Sienna? Well, her actual mother, obviously, but who is she? Is she a mother? A sister? Is she dead or alive? Before she could wonder anything more about her mother, she heard a 

Knock knock knock

"ACK-" Emma yelped after bumping her head on the wooden base of the bed "Come in!" She said as she got up, expecting a guard or her father, or maybe even a scientist, but in came Norman

"Hey" Norman greeted

"Oh! Norman! What a pleasant surprise! What're'ya doing out?" Emma exclaimed, holding the part of her head that she bumped

"Are you okay? What happened?" Norman entered the bedroom

 "Yeah, I'm alright just hit my head a little bit" Emma laughed the injury off "come. Sit down, do you need anything?" She sat on the bed and patted the spot next to her for him to sit down

"Not really, I just needed to check on you cause, y'know, the whole Gracefield ID-" Norman's sentence cut short by a hand over his mouth

"Sh, sh, sh, don't. They're listening.." Emma whispered so quietly that Norman could barely hear, literally 5 inches away from each other's faces.

... Hol' up-

"AH- I'M SO SORRY!" Emma squealed as she jolted back, all flustered

"I- its okay" Norman assured, also very flushed. Silence filled the room faster than the speed of light until a demon over the PA system said something

"Uhhhh, what is happening" they asked awkwardly

"Nothing! Nothing!" Emma turned and faced the top of the closet. Norman looked where she was looking and saw a camera just sitting there. How did he not notice that?

"Should.. Should I tell your father you have him over, or..." The PA demon said

"NOPE- No.. Thank you, we'll be fine" Emma yapped

"... Gurl, I'm telling him, I'm not getting fired today, no thank you" the PA person chuckled in a satirical manner

"YUNNA!" Emma wailed "DON'T YOU EFFING DARE" she spoke like she was yelling at her best friend

"Noooope" The demon, Yunna, was heard getting up and walking away

"Ooh~, you in trouble~" another demon gasped

"Spur, I swear to god, STOP" Emma pointed at the camera

"Nah" Spur laughed

"I hate you" Emma sighed

"Hate you too, carrot top" Spur sarcastically said before he cut off the PA

"Friends of yours, I assume?" Norman asked

"I guess. They talk to me sometimes during their shifts, I see them in person sometimes but only when they're on guard duty or picking up a corpse" Emma replied

"A corpse, huh?" Norman sighed. He'd mostly forgotten who she really is, a murderer.. A monster.. A Ratri

"Yeah. I never really liked the sight of the dead experiments, but, I usually go over to see if they're there" Emma swung her legs back and forth as she hugged the small heart pillow innocently. Emma and Norman sat next to each other in silence once again, but, not the typical awkward silence, the comfortable fuzzy silence. Well, that is until

"Hey. Your father's on his way" Yunna came back on the PA

"UH OH" Spur could be heard from across the room they were in

"Spur, would you PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP?" Yunna scolded

"Okay, okay, jeez" Spur breathed out. The pair just stared at the camera in pure silence again for, like, 5 minutes

"Oh, wait, did we interrupt anything?" Yunna asked

"N- no" Emma stuttered

"I mean, kinda" Norman shrugged

"Norman, please" Emma groaned "you're just giving them more ammo" she was met by another shrug

Knock knock knock

"Come in...!" Emma responded, and in came Peter "oh! ... Hello father..!"

"Hello Emma... Hello, 22194.." Peter greeted

"... Hi" Norman greeted back sourly

"... 22194, you aren't supposed to be here, lets go" Peter sighed as he motioned for Norman to follow him, back to his living quarters

"Ugh, whatever" Norman scoffed, got up and left. Emma sat on her bed awkwardly until Spur spoke up

"So~, what's your relationship with him? You seem close" Spur commented in his usual airy tone

"Nothing, we're just.. Friends.. I guess" Emma replied

"That's what Yunna said before he-" Spur's sentence cut off

"LARKSPUR" Yunna slapped Spur somewhere on the head, as Emma could hear the sound of the smack right next to the microphone

"Hold on, you two are.." Emma looked at the camera in disbelief "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!? HAVE YOU ANY IDEA HOW LONG I WAITED FOR THIS?" This time, Spur and Yunna were the silent ones

"Wait, you're okay with this?" Spur asked

"Am I okay with this? AM I OKAY WITH THIS? I HAVE WAITED THREE YEARS FOR THIS, AND YOU ARE ASKING IF I'M OKAY WITH THIS? I AM ECSTATIC, JOYFUL, EXCITED, WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANNA CALL IT, I'M JUST EFFING GLAD YOU TWO ARE FINALLY A THING" Emma exclaimed, resulting in the demon duo to be even more quiet

"Damn, girl" Spur spoke up

{~'∆*∆'~}

After a while, she changed into something more casual and was laying on her bed. Emma sat in her room in pure boredom doing that thing that you'd do when you were younger. Y'know, like, laying flat on your back and throwing your legs up in the air, making yourself hover a little, I dunno, maybe I'm just weird. The ginger haired girl sighed and grabbed her teddy bear which held the files, feeling her eyelids grow heavy and soon fell asleep.

God knows how long she'd been asleep when she was awoken by the sound of a huge explosion. She quickly got up, noticing how hazy the air looked, and opened the door, going to simply check on whatever the hell was happening the hallway, but, she was taken aback as she was hit by a wall of smoke and the smell of intense burning

"WHAT THE!?" Emma gasped and immediately sprinted into the main hall, seeing the chaos. Fire everywhere, countless experiments, scientists and demons lay dead on the ground, injured people running for their dear lives

"NORMAN!? FATHER!?" Emma screamed down the panicked halls, knowing damn well that they weren't even on that floor, but a girl can try. She even started calling out the names of the experiments she knew "BARBARA!? CISLO!? VINCENT!?" She cried out, with no answer this time too. The gingerette soon after tripped on her own foot and landed into the range of a fire,  getting burns and wounds all over her arms, legs and face, the silk covering on her arm burning away. Emma stared into what seemed like an endless void, her entire body flared up in a sort of fight or flight response. Her entire body felt like it was screaming in fear and agony as she felt her limbs go numb, barely moving out of sheer terror

"FATHER!?" Emma called out in a panic in the flames "FATHER, WHERE ARE YOU!?" still no answer. She clutched onto the teddy bear as she sprinted through the flame engulfed halls, searching for her father, Norman, Barbara, Cislo, Vincent, or any survivor at this point. Her anxiety grew and roared like the fires surrounding her as she started running past dead experiments, scientists and demons, her hopes of finding her father and friends slipping away, more and more. After a while, she knelt to the ground. Nobody was coming for her, well, like anyone would anyways. She's a Ratri, I guess, nobody would go out of their way to save someone like her anyways
