What can I give?

Norman, Emma and Ray were shipped out at the same time. They were brought to Lambda.

Time wasn't something they have the fortune of knowing of.

The dripping of the droplets of water from the used faucet to wash their bloody hands on after using their tools.

The screaming. Those screaming all around. In pain. Begging. Why can't they all just die.

Why must they suffer?

" Focus. " The scientist stated. His assistant with her red hair swaying whenever she turns around to give him his tools. Eye catching. How foreboding it was to see.

Red.

Just like the blood dripping down his arms.

" If I do this... You won't... "

The scientist nod his head before smiling. " They'll only receive the tests. As long as you keep volunteering and be obedient. " He spoke up before pulling his face mask up to hide half of his face.

" Okay... "

" Good boy. "

- - - - -

" No. 81194. Follow us. " One of the scientists stated. Two male scientists stood outside their room. One behind the other that was speaking. Emma stretched her arms to the sides while blocking his view on their friend.

Norman stood up with a glare. " I'll do it instead. Can't that be allowed? " He questioned, determined to stop them from taking Ray.

" Are you? " The scientist spoke up. An eyebrow raised in question.

" No. He isn't. " Ray raised his voice. He slowly pulled himself up, off his bed. Emma turned around to catch him when he tripped over. Drowsy and exhausted, he visibly shows to them.
" Just... I'll do it. "

" But Ray! You just came back three hours ago! You were with them till midnight! " Emma protested.

Ray turned to glare at Emma. " You think I don't know that? " He growled at her, ready to attack even if she plans to hinder him more so than she is doing earlier.

" I don't need Ray's permission. I'll do it. I volunteer myself. " Norman stated to the scientist.

" Hmm... " The scientist hum in acknowledgement. Ray glared at Norman before punching him to the ground. This earned a surprise expression from the scientist.

Ray willingly Attacked someone.

" SHUT UP! SHUT UP NORMAN! EMMA! YOU GUYS DON'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING! " Ray yelled out in frustration. He accusingly pointed at them with a heated glare sharply at them. Emma kneeled besides Norman and tries to lift him up to sit down. He pointed at Norman. " SEE? YOU CAN'T EVEN- YOU AREN'T-! YOU'RE WEAK AND YOU- " He pointed at Emma. " YOU AREN'T WORTH IT! " He turned to the scientist and glared knowing full well the guy understood the situation and was trying to escalate it. " YOU DON'T NEED THEM! THEY'RE USELESS! I- YOU GUYS- You can use me with whatever you want. You'd like it more than them who'd be thrashing the place right? Makes your work easier and faster. "

" Ah yes. That is true. Let's go, 81194. " The guy casually placed his hand on Ray's injured shoulder as if to mock the two children behind them.

" RAY!! " Emma calls out totally heartbroken but worried for Ray just like the quiet Norman is.

The scientist looked back with a smirk at them before they he took Ray and  got out. " You can hand over their food. " The scientist stated to the other adult. The other nod and headed inside with a tray for their meal.

He stood near the two children that was glaring at him. The white empty table on the side of the room was when he had placed the tray. 

" You won't get away with this! " Norman growls at him.

" Please! You can talk to the others! Tell them to lessen the time and I promise I'll be of help! You guys can take me instead of Ray! He needs to rest! " Emma persuaded.

The guy frowns and lowers his head. Sure enough the angle where it looks like he was just fixing up the placement of their meal on the table.

" For now eat. " He says with a low voice. Emma followed his suggestion while Norman stood his ground.

" You aren't fooling me. Unless you get Ray back, I'm not eating! " He demanded.

The scientist sighs. " You need to eat and hurry up in planning your escape, right? "

Norman and Emma froze.
He knows.
They knew.

The guy gestures Norman to take a seat while he slowed down in placing the meal off the tray and on to the table in front of them. " I'll help in the planning just you have to be more secretive and cautious about it. I'm not fond of experimenting on children or people. So don't worry. "

" Why should we trust you? " Norman spat out with a glare. He took hold of his spoon but didn't take any food.

" I'm here to help. A follower of Minerva or to say. "

Emma and Norman widened their eyes almost happy at that information. Almost.

" Then why...? "

The guy took a step away from them with a sad smile on his lips. " I'll come back to get the utensils then we'll plan in secret. "

Emma turned to him, who was walking away. " Wait what about Ray?! And your name!?! "

The guy turned around to glance at her before putting his hands on his pockets.

" I'll try to keep him from being overdosed as much as possible. My name's Smee. "

｡:ﾟ:｡｡:ﾟﾟ:｡｡:ﾟﾟ:｡｡:ﾟﾟ:｡｡:ﾟﾟ:｡｡:ﾟﾟ:｡｡:ﾟ:｡

Norman: ah Smee... If only he was still alive.

Ray: Until he sticks Needles and knives into you.

Emma: but he didn't. Norman, right?

Norman: yup. He didn't. He and the other Lambda children kept me sane while I was there.

Emma: THEN THAT'S GOOD! It's a shame he died! I'll want to thank him for keeping Norman safe!

Gilda: I'm not sure safe is the right word though...

Ray: Well both. Emma and Norman aren't sane. That's that.

Emma: Hey! I'm sane!

Ray: *Rolls eyes* Yeah tell me that when you guys don't plan on kidnapping me if I leave you guys to start looking for work outside of the house.

Norman & Emma: BUT RAY! It's dangerous! Especially by yourself!

Don: There's kinda a small.. hm.. little point there though.

Ray: Tell me about it! I take more than two showers a day because this dumb idiots!

Phil: why?

Ray: *turns red* c- cause! I-! They—!!!

Anna: Because they love being around Ray that's why!

Phil: Ooooohhhhhh.

Don: Sus-pic-ious.

Gilda: You should be thankful you're an adult now and Mama's rarely around to monitor us. * Glares at Don *
