"It's us against the world Emma... I choose your side"
When Norman and Ray cane down to the lunch wall almost everyone had finished their meals. After all, they look quite a time and Ray tool Emma not to wait for them.
Still, Emma was still on the table, her dish full of the meant Hayato had just cooked. Ray looked surprised and Norman greeted her with a smile. She smiled back at them:
" Hi guys! Is everything fine? Come on have your lunch you must be really hungry!"
" You stupid Emma! I told you not to wait for us! Aren't you starving?"
" Yes I am but I really wanted to have lunch with you two"
Ray slapped his hand on his forehead. He knew that would happen and Norman sighted.
That's Emma for you and there is nothing else to say
" Thank you so much for waiting for us Emma! We'll gladly sit and have lunch with you, right Ray? Also, I have something important to tell you... Ray and I arrived at a conclusion"
Norman sat right by Emma's right side and Ray on the left. He seemed quite serious, his soft smile vanishing from his pale face:
" So you talked about the plan? You still want to commit genocide Norman?"
Norman and Ray gasped. For that Ray knew Norman told Emma he was going to apply her plan, even if it was a lie. Norman swallowed hard and faced her:
" You knew I was lying Emma?"
" Yes I did. You always cry and smile in a sad way when you're lying"
Ray could feel the tension in the air. Emma wasn't that naive anymore. Without him realizing she had grown into a beautiful, mature young woman...
*Time really does pass fast...*
Still Ray found that tought of his quite stupid: Emma's always been the most intelligent in emocional term of the tree of them.
She herself, was the one who sensed his struggle when he revealed himself as the traitor. After all, those two had a bonde right?
* If Emma loves Norman... well I'm glad *
" Are you mad at me because I lied to you Emma?"
" Well... Yes I am! Because you didn't trust me and you broke your promise Norman! WHY CAN'T YOU KEEP YOUR WORD!?"
Emma jumped out of her seat and placed her hands in Norman colar caught him off guard. Norman made such a funny face that Ray couldn't help laugh at such view
" Really Norman... can't you keep your damn word?"
" Well... I'm sorry you two"
" Being sorry isn't enough Norman. You have to share that's bordering you with me, with Ray. If you keep it all to yourself...that's the point of having friends?"
Emma let go of Norman's colar as Ray focused is eyes once again in his food. Norman glimpsed at Emma. Ray wondered if he was going to tell her the truth
" You're right Emma... I worry about you and you worry about me. You don't need my protection anymore...you're strong"
With a intense look he placed his hand in her shoulder, facing her. In might have been her impression but he was shaking
* So that's the real you Norman... you've always been so scared... I'm glad I finally see the real you*
" Listen Emma. I agreed to your plan but there is a high cost to it. To put it to action, I'll trow away all my work and I will turn my allies against us. Demons and Human are going to hunt us down to stop us from reforging the promise. Do you understand?"
Emma loomed down. It was happening again and she felt guilty.
After all, she was the one who was trying to make Norman's high a bit more bearable...but now she was putting more height on him
" Yes I do. I'm making everything more difficult to you, Norman. I'm adding even more wait to your shoulders because I'm selfless"
" Yup you always choose the hardest way"
Norman looked at Ray with a " don't you say that" face. He approached Emma and gave her a kiss on her chick
" No Emma, you got it wrong. You might have choose the hardest path but it's the right one. With you by my side I don't feel any pain"
" GOD DAMN THAT'S GROSS AS HELL"
" SHUT UP RAY!"
Emma's ray was so angry and red. Ray was with his teasing face on and Norman looked quite fun seeing Emma, confused an dizzy, unable to make a proper frase.
She must admit: Norman had never shown affection towards her in front of other people. Even if it was Ray...she couldn't help but feel her skin burn
" Norman, you be careful with what you do to Emma cuz Emma excel stopped working"
" SHUT THE HELL UP RAY !"
In the mist of all that Norman's laugh echoed tought the kitchen like a melody. Ray and Emma stopped arguing, looking at the view of his blue eyes crying out of happiness
" Oh man! I didn't laugh like this in ages! You guys are the best"
Emma smiled: how great, what a bless was so see him smile out of genuine happiness. It was all she needed... it was the one think that kept her going
" Still, even you being strong you have to stick with me for a while Emma. I have to watch you"
" How great, now you're Emma's stalker, Norman!?"
Emma didn't seem to hear and Ray tought it better. Something in his mind lighted up as he arrived to an obvious answer be didn't grasp
* Oh I see... Norman already tought of everything *
" No Ray... Emma needs to stick with me for her own sake" Norman turned to Emma as she had a sparkle in her eyes. She held Norman's hand as he looked strait at her:
" If I stay alone at the shelter they going to cut my throat in my sleep, right Norman?"
There was no point in hiding. Deep inside him Norman knew what Vincent, Barbara and Cisclo weren't loyal to him... They were loyal to his plan of genocide...of revenge.
If they had to cut Emma's life to make him act out of impulse, they would do it. It was scary to think his enemies were living right on his next door
It was scary to think that was a possibility of him losing her. But that wouldn't happen
* That's what my mind is for... I'll keep Emma save at any cost*
" That's why we have to go to the seven walls the sooner the better. We made to make a expedition there immediately to avoid anything"
" I understand Norman... so when are we leaving to the Seven walls?"
Norman got up after finishing his meal. Ray and Emma waited for an answer as he looked into the open door that lead into the outside.
The sun illuminated his face bringing a warm tone to his pale skin. Norman felt more alive than he ever been since he was born:
" They're moving 3 days from now on, to the Seven walls"
