Music Box

Ray x fem!reader

summary: reader has a special music box given by her parents when she was young but it was accidentally broken by the younger kids. Fortunately, Ray takes it in his care to fix it.

TW: mentions of blood, use of Y/N(does that count?)

A/N: this is my first fanfic I’ve ever posted on any platform and i apologize in advance for any mistakes or if it’s just bad. I came up with this idea after ordering a Howl’s Moving Castle music box on Amazon today ( ´ ▽ ` )

Y/N grew up in the Gracefield Orphanage among her 38 siblings. She was told her parents perished in a fire when she was born and the only thing that had been left for her was a music box.

A beautiful one. It had stars and the moon on the lid and would light up as it played its gentle melody.

She often finds herself winding it up throughout random points of the day or when she is sitting in the field by herself. 

More often than not, Ray sits beside her, humming a melody of his own.

“Where did you get that melody from?” Y/N asked.

Ray look at her without turning his head, still humming the tune. When he finally stopped, he replied, “I remember hearing it when I was in my mother’s womb.”

Y/N found it fascinating that Ray was able to remember that far back and nodded. “That’s cool.”

While the day went on, Y/N wounded up her little music box as she and the other children cleaned, or cooked, or did anything.

When she headed to her room, there were many children running around, causing Y/N to clutch onto her fragile box.

As she avoided getting knocked over, she didn’t notice Thoma running behind her.

Before she knew it, her box was flying out of her hands as she fell on the floor.

When she landed on the floor, her chin smacked the floor, causing it to bleed. But that was of little concern to her. She heard the box make contact with the floor and heard the little parts pop out and scatter all over the place.

The room became silent as she looked up with wide eyes. Thoma and Lannion stared with a mortified expression. She carefully picked up her box with delicacy. She stared at it, some gears were missing and springs popped up all crooked.

Emma, Ray, and Norman walked in and saw Y/N on the floor with the other kids staring at her.

Her chin was dripping with blood and she stared at the broken box with tears in her eyes. She whimpered as she gathered all the parts she could, trying to put it back how she remembered it was but to no avail.

She began to full on sob as the older kids ran up to her. Norman taking the box from her hands and Emma holding her in her arms as she cried.

Ray scolded the children, telling them they had to be careful and they shouldn’t ever be this reckless.

Norman found all the pieces missing from Y/N’s little pile and handed it to Ray, “do you think you can fix it?” He asked.

Ray inspected it for a moment before nodding. He made his way to the library with the pieces in his hand and pocket while the other two older kids instructed the younger kids that it was bedtime.

Emma and Norman took Y/N to Isabella’s office to clean her chin. While Isabella was cleaning the wound and putting a bandaid on it, Emma went to get a change of clothes for her.

“Don’t worry, dear. I’m sure we can fix it in no time.” Isabella reassured. Y/N only stared at the ground, slowly nodding her head.

Emma and Norman took the girl to bed and tucked her in before heading to the library to find Ray. They opened the door to see him in the farthest corner of the library working away to fix her music box.

“How’s it going?” Emma asked.

“Good so far. It looks like I might have to stay up. Most of these parts belong on the bottom of the box, I’m honestly really surprised they were able to pop out.” Ray explained.

“How long will it take?” Norman asked.

“I don’t know. I might need to work on it tomorrow.” He said while screwing in a cog.

Emma stared with a worried expression, “But what if Y/N is depressed because of her box?”

Norman chuckled, “We’ll just have to keep distracted, won’t we?”

Emma nodded her head with a determined look.

Norman turned to Ray, “we’re going to head to bed. Good luck on that and don’t stay up too late.”

Ray hummed as the duo walked out, closing the door behind them.

Ray had stayed up all night, making sure it was fixed.

The next day when Y/N woke up, she reached out for her music box on her nightstand but didn’t find it. She realized that it had broken and it made her sad.

The other kids got up and got dressed along with y/n and ran to the dining room for breakfast.

When the table was set up, y/n sat in her usual spot before she heard Thoma and Lannion call her name, “Y/N!”

She looked up and stared at the boys, who were standing in front of Isabella. Isabella had a noticeable vein sticking out her forehead as she kept her composure.

The boys bowed and basically folded from how low they were, “We are so sorry!” They said in unison.

“We didn’t mean to break your music box!” Thoma said.

“We‘ll make it up by doing your chores for a month while you rest!” Lannion said.

“No words can express how sorry we are!” They both shouted.

Y/N stared at the boys and nodded her head, “it’s okay. Thank you for apologizing.” She smiled.

The boys hugged her tightly and sat down with Isabella sitting in her own chair.

The children ate their breakfast and did their daily tests before going outside for free time.

Y/N sat under the tree with her eyes closed, humming the melody from her box.

Ray walked up to her with a F/C box in his hands. “Yo.” He said before sitting next to her.

“Hi.” She replied, not opening her eyes.

“How’re you holding up without your box?” He asked.

“Terrible.” Y/n bluntly said.

Ray hummed, “well, I guess I’m gonna make your day.” He placed the box in her lap and she looked down, finally opening her eyes.

She carefully opened the box and gasped when she saw her music box.

It looked brand new. It was fixed and cleaned.

She looked at Ray, who was smiling. “Wind it up.” He said. Y/n winded up the little lever and let the familiar melody play in her ears.

Her tensed shoulders began to relax again and she rested her head on the tree.

Ray held up a cylinder, “you can replace that one with this. Obviously, you don’t have to, but you seem to like it when I hum my tune, so I made this for your box.” He explained.

Y/n took the cylinder from his hand and opened the box, carefully pulling out the cylinder and replacing it with Ray’s new one.

When she turned the lever, it played the melody Ray hummed. She looked at Ray with a big smile on her face and tackled him in a big hug.

“Thankyouthankyouthankyou!” She quickly said.

Ray chuckled and wrapped his arms around her waist and gently patting her head. 

fin.

[nobodycanknowihavethisapp]

This is by far my favorite side story ☹️ I love Ray's relationship with his family

[unearthedheart]

slightly odd request but i would die if someone could edit this to instead say "we'll blow this whole shelter up." idk i just like that sm more but i can't figure out how to access the font to change it😭😭😭

[cvpidzzz]

cruelty (blob)

”Haaa…Haa..” Lannion panted, feeling his heart pound in his ears and his feet beginning to ache under the heavy boots he wore to work.

The ice was chilling him — not worse than Thoma’s shallow breathing against his shoulder, a reminder that if he didn’t fucking move faster— his brother from another mother - the one person who was with him before they let conny, hao and sadie stay with them as they were street rats left to die — would be dead before he reached the town.

How did this happen? How was it that Lannion left home for a damn day to trade bullshit just to live in the town, and came back to their little hut — their Home, for crying out loud — trashed and the four people he considered his family were dead and gone infront of him.

conny, sadie and hao were cold, but thoma— thoma was warm, he could still save him- if only his feet would move faster!!

“Hold on, dude!” Lanni wheezed out, dragging his feet through the snow — “I’m gonna save you, promise!” he cried out.

thats one thing he hates about himself (he has many insecurities, but this one takes the cake) the most.

That he keeps breaking his promises.

He promises every time that he goes to trade that he’s gonna rack up enough to buy a feast, he promises every time to sadie and conny that he’d get them nice dresses to wear since theirs were so old and torn, he promises to hao and thoma that he’d get them as well some new clothes and more amenities.

he hates that he’s never able to keep them, all because of their situation as street rats.

every time he sees the excited light leave conny, sadie or hao’s eyes, he feels another piece of his heart break.

every time he has to watch thoma forcefully starve so the others could eat. he sees the calloused injuries on his hands and thoma waves it off.

he knows he needs bandages every time he attempts to sew up a new tear in conny’s stuffed rabbit- or their clothes - and stabs himself on accident with the needle.

He knows when thoma’s faking a smile for the kids, he knows that he’s doing it because he hates to see them look sad, even if they were simply a year younger than him.

And he hates that he has to just sit by and watch while thoma worked himself ragged, and then had the audacity to tell him that he needs to slow down and rest when thoma himself has been exhausted like all hell every single day.

but he cant lose thoma - he’s already lost sadie, hao and conny- they’re so close, just a few more miles and he can get treatment- the weight on his back lifts, and soon-

“AAAAAAAAARRRGGHHH!!!!!”

claws dig into his shoulders and lannion gasps.

something hadn’t just tackled them, that was thoma. that was thoma who was painfully digging his claws into his shoulders.

“GYAAAAAAHHHH!!!!” and thoma begins thrashing and growling, clawing onto lannion’s haori and sending them off of the side of the mountain.

“AAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!”

And lannion lands into the snow, heaving.

The snow. it.. saved me?

He gets up in an instant, panickedly looking around for thoma.

thoma’s standing up on two weak feet, his body hunched forward and the blanket on his shoulders slipping off, still bloody.

“thoma!” Lanni shouted, “thoma, you okay?! listen, you dont have to walk, i can carry you to town and we can get you-“

thoma whips his head up, fangs gritted and eyes splitting into sixpoint pupils, then, he jumps at him.

“YAGH!-“ lanni manages to shove the butt of the rifle he traded into his mouth, struggling to push back against thoma’s feral attempts to bite him.

then, he feels something pressing against his wind pipe and oh god its thoma choking him—

Old man Yuugo was right? that demons were real?

no- nonono!! Thoma’s a human, he’s always been!

So Why..

“thoma!” lanni manages to gasp out “im sorry-“ he chokes “im sorry that i wasn’t there!– you were hurting, all of you were- im sorry that im such a horrible person!-“ he feels his face going blue and black dotting his vision.

“Thoma! you aren’t a demon!-“ he’s on the brink of blacking out “Please! Dont turn into one, man! dont do this to me!-“

thoma’s growls only got louder, and lanni cant stay conscious any longer- but when he finally blacks out.. he swears he feels salty tears drip onto his face…

TPN Brainrots part 2:

Warning: just like the in the previous part... There will be Manga Spoilers.

Since I was unable to finish part 3 of my comic for Emma's birthday (due to being in a place where bringing a laptop was not advised) I will do my head canons and theories on her.

So today's post is about: Emma

Emma is a protagonist in the wrong genre. That was my first thought when I finished season 1 for the first time. Of course now I know how much more complicated her personality is. Introducing her first from the Trio was a really good choice in my opinion, because her cheerful, hopeful, happy and naive personality makes you believe that everything in all right with their lives. Her point of view up until Connie's death really shows how easy it is to believe in a comfortable lie. (not to forget that in canon they're 11-12)

Emma's appearance explained:

Just like I did with Ray... I have something unique to add to each drawing of her. First let's talk about the Freckles! I'm a big fan of interesting character traits, such us freckles, moles, scars, tooth gaps, vitiligo or anything similar to that. Also the red/orange hair🧡! My second favourite hair color in anime & character history (first is black🖤).

When colouring I like to use vivid colours for her clothes (mostly red or orange to bring out her hair). Maybe that's why, my favourite outfit is what she wore in the Goldy Pond Arc.

In the manga colouring above if you look closely, Emma has faint scars on her knees and elbows. Since she most likely do what her heart says before thinking, I imagine that she didn't mind if she scrapped her knees or bruised her elbow, while playing with her friends and family. Physically active kids often fall while playing but, falling hard then getting up again all by yourself is a good way to symbolise their in journey. (Old drawing of mine😅⬇️)

Leader of the Grace Field Group:

Emma simply had to get into the Leader's role after Norman's shipment. I'm sorry to say that but Ray was a bit useless. He was lost in his own pain and gave up all hope (I mean... valid, but still), so she had to plan everything. Norman's letter and the other kids (Gilda, Don, Thoma, Lanni, etc) helped a lot, but she was practically alone. She couldn't even grieve Norman properly. Don't forget that Emma is smart and an amazing actor. She fooled Isabella thinking she gave up too (not to mention that time she slowed her heartbeat so Mom doesn't know she was lying).

My forever favourite moment (Idk why didn't I mention this in the Brainrots part 1) is Emma slapping some sense into Ray (pun intended😁). Like that setting and that scenery is my Roman Empire. Her catching a burning match just in time, not caring about burning her hand, then convincing Ray to excape with her and the rest of the group (Okay actually... let's be honest... she basically had to drag him out of the House). The first glimpse of what Emma is capable on her own. Nerves of steel for cutting her ear off too (her first big sacrifice just to save the others).

After the Excape, she got a lot of help from Ray who also apologised for his behaviour. The two of them comforting each other after thinking Norman died is just such a heart warming scene. Meeting with Sonju and Mujika was a big turning point for Emma, because of three things;

1: Okay first she was scolded because of her recklessness as well as Ray for trying to play the hero, but that not strongly Mujika or demon related. The world opened up for the whole group. They learnt about the Promise and how the world was divided into two.

2: Emma learned and saw from first hand, that not all demon are evil. Mujika helped them despite their differences and the end of that week Emma thrusted her so much she even showed her the photographs of her family and told her about Norman too.

3: Receiving the neklace and the advice to search for the Seven Wall while they're on their journey.

Arriving to B06-32 and meeting Mister/Yuugo there was a new challenge. All the kids saw another 'Isabella' who tried to kill them. Emma, then Ray were the first ones who saw through his facade.

Goldy Pond Arc was Emma time to shine as a leader and as an individual too. Meeting Lucas and the Goldy Pond squad and immediately connecting to them shows how much she cares about others. Her bonding time with Lucas as they uncover the mysteries surrounding the identity of William Minerva.

Fun fact: In my fanfic I like to age up the Grace Field Trio roughly to Oliver's age, because I think this way their personalities are more dominant and clear.

Emma's relationship with adults:

I like to think that Emma never saw Isabella as a monster (not even after discovering the truth). And as truthful as it is. I think Isabella formed a deeper bond with Emma than with her own son. That's because from the Grace Field Trio, only Emma could have been saved by Mom. With the Mom/Sister Program, Emma would have been able to live on, but it's against her nature to harm anyone. Although I found it interesting that that was the original composition of the manga. Emma becoming a Mom and Gilda becoming a Sister (correct me if I know this wrong). Also this picture under... I found it on Pinterest and it's reflects back to my theory of what might happen to the boys.

Meeting Yuugo and Lucas were a complete different experience for the Grace Field kids. The Bunker Dads were the caring parents both group (Grace Field & Goldy Pond) needed and deserved. Not to mention how Emma reminds me both the young and hopeful Yuugo from the past and the clever and patient Lucas of the present. Spending almost two years on the B06-32 shelter while searching for the Seven Wall makes their last goodbye 1000% more heart breaking.

Back to Grace Field Arc is when Emma meets Isabella again. She gets closer slowly but she doesn't have an emotional barricade as high up as Ray or even Norman. Emma forgave her easier, but that doesn't mean she justified the things Mom did with her family. She simply realised that Isabella had no other choice if she wanted to stay alive.

Making the new Promise and the Human World:

First of all King of Paradise Arc? Realising that Norman is still alive?! Oh the the happy tears when I first read that🖤🤍🧡. (Although to tell the truth Ray slapping Norman as soon as he sees him was such a right choice in my opinion) Emma breaking down in tears and hugging Norman was such an emotional and wholesome scene. But the argument after... let's just say I don't like miscommunication and/or characters keeping important secrets to themselves. (*glances at the GF Trio* "All three of you is in trouble")

Ohh Seven Wall Arc my beloved 🧡🖤. I like every bit of this story but Seven Wall Arc holds a special space in my heart. That Arc still holds so much potential to play around. The demon God's power to manipulate time, space and play around with Emma's and Ray's memories was wild. For the demon God name... I call them Elari. (Yes I stared at that nonsense of a word until it looked like a name). It was such a nice touch that the demon God only wanted to talk to Emma, but I couldn't help but feel a bit bad for Ray, because I think he was worried as hell when he woke up alone without Emma on his side. (I also sometimes think about what kind of Reward he would have received if he stayed with Elari).

The Reward Emma got is... without a question... cruel, and I think it was not needed, but I also can't think about something else what she could have gave to Elari if not her memories.

She deserves happiness and I can't say how much I cried when the Ray and Norman + everyone else found her in the human world. In the end I'm happy that Emma and all of them got a relatively happy ending.

Head canon to Human World and Reward: Emma's necklace!! It holds her memories. They just somehow have to find a way to unlock it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO EMMA!!!🧡🧡🧡.

Okay. That's it for Emma. If you have anything else to add, correct or you want to share your own theories just write it in the comments or reblogs. Next post will be the 3rd part of the comic. Then brainstorms on Norman will come.

[friedwizardwhispers]

I can’t believe we are watching them eat fish instead of Gilda almost blowing the bunker up to blackmail Yugo and Emma punching him. It’s pretty funny though.

[bubblesandpages]

I have to laugh at Isabella because I think after a certain point after Norman is shipped out it became very obvious that the kids are planning on escaping. Like, manic children are running around with hangers in their hands, sheets are disappearing, Thoma and Lanni are launching homemade rockets in the backyard, and she’s totally missing all of it because she thinks she’s crushed the resistance. Like, no Isabella, they—they’re right there, in front of you making preparations to escape wh—

Thoma, singing: Tale as old as time

Lanni, singing along: Meme as old as vine

Thoma and Lanni: Beauty and the yeet

Don: Okay what-

Ray: Don't. Questioning it just encourages them.

feels like yesterday 🌱

[technikki]

i adore thinking about the fucked up tpn stuff that was either not considered during the writing process or deliberately left unexplored.

tpn really said 'each house has about 6 shipments and receives about 6 new children to replace them each year. the minimum age a child can be shipped out is 6. tpn begins with conny's shipment in october, after which dominic is the only remaining 6 year-old at the house' without even considering the implications of that. how about 'we know literally nothing about anyone from the age group between anna+nat's and thoma+lanni's groups because theyre all gone by the time the story starts' also literally no one ever brings them up. or my personal favorite of 'isabella painstakingly hand-made little bunny for conny's 6th birthday. conny turned 6 in september, about a month before she was shipped out' like do you think isabella was at least a little pissed about that. i like to think she was

[fullscoreshenanigans]

Something that I think is underrated in the fandom is the concept of the cattle children making friends their age in the human world post-canon. I like to think that the younger kids would have an easier time socializing while the older kids may be more withdrawn (especially with the adults), but get better with time.

Do you have any headcanons about their interactions with the human world? And where in the world do you think they settled down at? I’m guessing that snowy area Alex lived at may be what was formerly Russia/East Europe because of his last name, but idk.

I also find it odd that Shirai never told us what Emma’s ‘new’ name was (that becomes her middle name). Have any in mind?

I don't know if I'd say underrated? If asked I think a lot of fans are open to it/enjoy it, myself included.

Underexplored though, definitely, but I think this stems from how hard it can be to sell original characters in fanfiction the closer in proximity and importance they are to the main characters. This is also part of the reason I believe Matilda is Norman's biological mother and Sienna is Emma's biological mother are decently popular theories: it offers people the convenience of already having a minor canon character with a design and foundations of personality and history that can be referenced with greater recognition among other fans to project headcanons onto.

But if we're just talking about alluding to it happening in the background, one of my favorite Rayemma fanfics, She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not by groundedreamer, touches upon it in almost the exact way you describe:

I didn't even realize it was a Rayemma fic at first (or a Hanahaki AU; I usually don't read those) because I zeroed in on it being in the Jemima tag with the entire first chapter being dedicated to Ray & Jemima bonding.

Highly recommend if one's open to RE.

Do you have any headcanons about their interactions with the human world?

This is very broad and we could be here for a while, but all the cattle children aware of the truth before crossing over to the human world, including the Grace Field children who didn't escape but saw Isabella being murdered, have PTSD. This initially makes it rough for the older children to accept help from healthcare professionals and to navigate the best way to handle things for the younger children.

I'm always going to advocate for Norman and Ray going antiquing or to junk shops for items they can fix up and potentially gift to people, especially if they end up finding a duplicate of the music box Isabella gave Emma on her sixth birthday.

(Mystic Code Book Chapter 1 Q&A | Questionnaire Translation Source)

I also talk about my preferred career paths for the trio here since I'm not fond of the path Shirai took with Norman and Ray, even if I understand why he did it. (I am 100% behind Nat becoming a famous pianist though.)

And where in the world do you think they settled down at? I’m guessing that snowy area Alex lived at may be what was formerly Russia/East Europe because of his last name, but idk.

I agree given that they start out in former New York City that the demon god would send her to the opposite side of the globe. And while Alex is fluent in English, I think it's sweet if the kids learn Russian to speak with him as he becomes integrated into the family as a father/grandfather figure.

I also find it odd that Shirai never told us what Emma’s ‘new’ name was (that becomes her middle name). Have any in mind?

With how cagey he was about confirming what a number of people had already suspected about Ray's bait note because he wanted to leave the door open for multiple possibilities prior to his health deteriorating, this doesn't really surprise me kfjdgvkj

I default to Wendy because of the Peter Pan connection, but I also gravitate a bit to Alice, Charlotte, or Jane.

As the sun rose, alarm clocks rang and the once peaceful and quiet house was now filled the laughter and annoyed groans of children. But today was a ʎddɐH day, Conny was chosen to leave the house to be adopted into a new family. Most were was excited for her, some were sad at her leave but for different reasons. Echo, Norman and Ray were setting up plates and cups filled with water for them and their siblings.

"NEEEAOoM!" Emma shouted rushing into the dinning room with Phil on her back,Thoma and Lanni following not to far behind.

"Good morning Norman, Ray and Echo!" The ginger said happily to her siblings.

"Good morning Emma."

"Mornin'"

"Emma good morning!"

"What are you five?" Ray questioned from her behaviour this early in the morning.

"I am not five! I am eleven like you three!" She grumpily shouted towards Ray. As giggles were heard from behind the eleven year olds.

"Mama your laughing too" Emma asked the older women slightly offended.

"Come on childeren it's time for breakfast" Isabella said motioning towards the tables.

Breakfast was filled with playful chatter, planning what games to play and remembering the nights dreams. Not too long after breakfast the children had their daily tests.

"Okay children the screens will turn on in a moment, try your best okay?"

The test screens were on, the room filled with silence.

Soon the buzzer to show the test was over buzzed, the screens turned off and the children removed their headphones.

"Now for the results children" Mama stated to the orphans.

"Congratulations Emma, Ray, Norman and Echo! You all got 300 out of 300"

Emma rose from her seat and cheered, Norman only smiled at her antics as the four were congratulated for their scores.

Scores. Get high scores.

"Apparently the house has never had four kids at their level at the same time before" a child said.

"I mean Emma has amazing athletic abilities and her great memories makes it easier for her to stay up by the other three, Ray an intellect who can compete with Norman and Echo, Norman is a genius who has one of the best brains and Echo on the other hand is a different breed of genius beating them all ten times over of an intelligence level and her athletic abilities come close to Emma's!".

Don suddenly stood from his seat and pointed at Norman and proudly shouted "Norman! I challenge you to a game of tag!" Norman laughed but agreed to the younger boy's challenge. As the children were leaving the testing room Jemima stopped Echo from leaving. "What's the matter Jemima?"

"Will you play tag today? You never play tag!" Jemima groaned looking up at the taller blonde-ette.

"The only reason I don't play is because I would beat you all!" Echo boasted which got an eye roll from Ray who was stepping out of the door.

"Well you'll just have to prove it!" Jemima smiled as she grabbed her wrist and dragged her outside.

"I'm forcing Echo to play!"

"Woooo!"

"Yay!"

"She is gonna beat us though!"

"She's too good!"

"GO!"

The children ran to the forest while Norman waited 30 seconds to give the rest of his siblings a head start before he came to tag them. Echo ran straight with Jemima following not to far behind. Echo lifted the curly haired girl into a tree, then climbed in herself hoping to wait out Norman up there. After a few minutes Norman spotted the two girls in the tree and began heading towards them, but not before Echo had hopped down with the younger child in her arms and broke out into a full sprint away from the white haired boy. Norman soon gave up on chasing the two for now and went after a few of the other kids while he thought of a plan to tag them.

Run. Run away.

There are now only three people left: Emma, Jemima and Echo. Norman spotted Emma and came up with a plan to trick her into coming closer to him so he could tag her. He proceeded to 'trip' over rock and face plant into a ditch. Emma worried that he got hurt jumped down from the tree she was in to go check on him, which resulted in finding out he was faking and she got tagged. That only left Echo and Jemima, then time went and Echo and Jemima were victorious.

"Told you I'd win".

Not fast enough. Run faster.

After their game of tag, time past and night fell. It was time to say Gₒₒdbyₑ to Conny. She was being adopted!

Conny walked down the stairs suitcase in hand, travelling clothes on.

Everything was going to be okay. Don was crying, he loved Conny so dearly, he wish should could stay. But it was going to be okay because she was going to be loved and cared for by another family. Conny waved goodbye. She left with Mama holding her and tightly.

"Wait why is Conny's bunny here?"

What? No!

"We need to take it to her!"

Emma no! You can't....

"You need to hurry then."

Ray what are you doing? She can't....

"Echo are you coming?"

"Sure, why not? I might as well say goodbye again"

Stupid stupid stupid. I said you can't...

The three children Norman, Emma and Echo ran towards the gate where they were forbidden to go, bunny in hand trying to return it.

"Conny?"

"Conny we have your bunny!"

"Where are yo- C-Conny?"

"Nor-N-N-Norman? E-Ec-E-Echo?"

"Yeah?" The two said in unison.

NO I SAID SHE CAN'T !

"L-L-Look" she ginger said pointing towards the truck.

"No."

A door opened.

The three children were now under the truck.

Holding their breaths.

They realised making a sound could be fatal.

Were they going to die?

"More normal quality ones Isabella. How long until the premiums are ready?"

"Soon. Very soon"

"Good. The nobles will be happy"

"They've been waiting for premium meat for a while now."

Conny's cold, pale, dead body was stripped of clothing and put into a jar of blue liquid. Before they could hear anything else the three children ran. They ran as fast as they could. They didn't want to die. They didn't want their family to die. 

"T-that wasn't Conny right! I'm just imagining things right?" Emma asked. She was terrified, not for her but for her family, she wanted them safe.

"Emma..." Echo said in a pitiful tone.

"I'm sorry Emma but- it was" Norman so trying to sound calm.

Emma screamed. She was scared. They were all scared. If only it was a dream. They left bunny.

"Guys, we left bunny." Echo fretted.

"What?" Norman asked his 'calm' persona fell.

"We left it."

The three returned to the house trying to pretend they didn't just see Conny's corpse.

"Did you give the bunny back?" Ray asked montonely

"We missed her"

Then the three retreated to their assigned beds.

I told you so

This place wasn't an orphanage? It was a farm? And we are the cattle. The three thought as they fell into a shock caused unconsciousness.

Do not stand at my grave and weep

I am not there; I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow,

I am the diamond glints on snow,

I am the sun on ripened grain,

I am the gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush

I am the swift uplifting rush

Of quiet birds in circled flight.

I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there; I did not die.
