"Wait, so, where are they?" Emma asked for, like, the third time

"B06-32" Sonju answered

"Ahh, okay okay" Emma tried making a mental note of the coordinates "and where are we?"

"B06-32" Sonju repeated

"Wait, really?" The gingerette only saw a barren landscape "uh.. You sure?"

"Mhm" Mujika hummed as she approached a patch of soil and cranking open a hidden handle

"Woah!" Emma gasped, running up to the latch

"Now, we must go, but, when you see the Gracefield cattle children, say hello to them for me?" Mujika asked

"I will!" Emma turned back to the demons, only to see nothing "oh... Kay? Uh.. Hello..!? Is anyone here?" The girl turned back to the opening and entering, calling out to anyone who might be inside. It was pitch black, no sign of life anywhere, it was completely silent. Wait, did they make it? Were they able to even survive the attack? Did.. They make it out alive..? Just as her thoughts of doubt had started consuming her, the sound of someone moving had triggered her fight or flight response, making her do some sort of flip maneuver and ✨yeeted✨ them onto the ground

(How did I forget to draw the fishnet leggings? I don't know)

"Hi" Barbara greeted simply "nice flip"

"OH MY GOD" Emma gasped, letting go of the older girl's wrist "I'M SO SORRY"

"Its cool, its cool" Barbara laughed "you're surprisingly strong"

"I mean, she has a metal arm" Vincent entered the conversation "Its just Emma, you guys can come out!" He called out into another room. Suddenly, all the lights came on, startling the gingerette

"Emma!" Spur sprinted over to the young woman, picking her up and hugging her "WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT, YOU SELF SACRIFICIAL IDIOT!" He shook her by the shoulders

"LARKSPUR!" Yunna snatched Emma from his lover "DON'T SHAKE HER LIKE THAT"

"Calm down, you two" said a voice that made Emma's heart skip a beat or three

"Easy for you to say, you're super chill-" Spur felt Emma jump down from his claws

"NORMAN!" Emma happily exclaimed, running towards her best friend, hugging him and kissing him on the cheek "by the way, Mujika says hi" she looked over Norman's shoulder at the Gracefield cattle

"Mujika..!?" Ray gasped

"Yep!" Emma smiled, then winced, clutching her thigh "uhh, you guys got bandages..?" She pointed at the rips in her leggings, bruises and cuts lining her thighs and calves from all the running and tripping

"Oh, of course! Come with me!" Anna interjected. Emma walked away from Norman and followed Anna to the infirmary. When they got there, they encountered Britney

"Oh. Uh. Hi, Britney" Emma awkwardly greeted, getting a dirty look from the girl

"Here, sit down" Anna motioned to a bed and pulled a spool of bandages from a drawer

"What happened after I was captured?" Emma sat down and asked

"Oh, uh. Spur and Yunna were panicking, Barbara was screaming curse words and Norman was completely silent" Anna knelt down as she started disinfecting and wrapping the bandages around the gingerette's injuries. All three girls sat in silence before knocking broke the ice. Spur, Yunna, Norman and Ray then entered the infirmary

"Hi, Norman!" Britney greeted in her usual high voice, getting ignored by the boy who was walking towards the ginger haired girl

"Are you okay?" Norman asked her, setting one hand on hers and the other on her cheek

"I- I'm alright, just a few scratches!" Emma flushed red at the warmth of Norman's hands

"So, Emma, what was it like torturing other human beings?" Britney questioned from the other bed, everyone, except Emma, turning their heads and giving her a shocked, disgusted looks

"Excuse me!? What kind of question-" Spur snarled as Yunna held him back by holding his claw up in front of him

"No, no, its okay" Emma faced Spur with a blank expressionless smile before getting up and walking over to Britney

And slapped her across the face as hard as she could

All the air seemed to be sucked out of the room as a deafening silence flooded the room like a tsunami. Of course, she didn't use her metal hand, but still, the spot she slapped was turning a shade of scarlet, mainly because of how hard the slap was, but, it was also because a blush of embarrassment and rage had set in

"You motherfucking bitch" Emma whispered in a threatening manner as she grabbed the other girl's face to look at hers, the ginger's nails digging into the platinum blonde's jaw and cheeks "You really wanna know? Well then, the blood was usually pooled across the floor and especially on the surgical table. Anesthesia was a luxury to have, most kids were torn apart while still conscious. I still remember their screams of agony, begging and waiting for the sweet, merciful release of death. The looks on their faces showed indescribable pain as they watched themselves be torn apart, and if you don't behave, you'll know what it felt like" though her face was calm, but her eyes showed a different story. In her eyes, she showed look of fury and sadism, like an apex predator with rabies relentlessly hunting down it's wounded prey

"Emma" Yunna called out "that's enough" the one eyed demon stepped forward as the young girl released the bitch- I mean Britney from her grip

"UGH, YOU WHORE" Britney screamed, walking out of the infirmary. Watching her walk away, Emma sighed

"I'm so sorry about that, you guys" Emma turned to her friends. But instead of anyone saying anything, all she heard was a snicker, which evolved into a full on laugh

"Oh my god, its fine, she needed that" Ray laughed

"How... How what funny...?" Emma muttered, glancing at Spur, who shrugged

"She looked terrified" Ray sighed "she needed to be brought back down to earth, she's delusional in all sorts of ways"

"Ohhhhh!" Emma giggled "I guess the sight of her face was kinda funny"
