Chapter Eleven~

Emma's POV

"Ooohhhh. She's asking me what I can doooo." Emily said while giggling which sounds like she would kill anytime now.

"Emily calm dow-"

"Oh William... It's no use..." Emily smiled and suddenly laughed manically.

"Come now child." Emily grinned evilly then suddenly lunged towards me.

A few seconds later, I heard Vera shriek loudly.

"Someone stop her!" Vera shouted as she was tackled to the floor by Emily.

I shivered in fear when I saw Emily raise her Syringe. She looked like she would really stab Vera.

"William! Can you help Emily?" I asked William while sweat was dripping from my forehead.

"Alright, I'll do it." William sighed before dashing behind Emily who was about to stab Vera.

William held Emily's arm to stop her from "killing" Vera.

"I'm sorry Emily." William softly mumbled before knocking her unconscious.

"Better lock that woman up." Vera said with disheveled hair and crumpled clothes.

She now had a slight cut on her face which was probably made by Emily's syringe.

I stared daggers at Vera which made her shudder.

I slowly came to William who was now carrying the now unconscious Emily to the clinic.

"Is she alright? She'll be fine right?" I asked nervously while fidgeting.

"She will. I only knocked her unconscious."

I sighed in relief when I heard William.

"I'll stay with her."

"Me too!" Tracy said as she popped out of no where.

"Jesus! Be quiet!" William told Tracy while he sighed.

Tracy nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, go back to your rooms, Emily will be fine, and Vera." William glared. "I'll talk with you later." He said before entering the clinic.

The crowd slowly dissipated and most of them were worried about Emily.

----------Joseph's POV

3 hours later, Hunters side of the manor.

It was 7 PM and I was about to go get food from the kitchen, when I heard soft chatters of Michiko and Jack inside the living room.

I knocked on the open wooden door and that's when they stopped talking and looked at me.

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked while walking towards the duo.

"Haven't you heard? Aesop and Vera got into a fight." Michiko said while keeping contact with my eye.

My heart suddenly started beating out of control and my breathing was a mess. I tried stabilizing my breath as I took in big mouthfuls of air.

"W-what happend?" I nervously asked Jack who was busy polishing his nails.

"Vera got angry because No one saved her from the rocket chair even when she screamed for help. But then again, she doesn't save either so I think it's quite fair." Michiko said while fixing her fan.

Jack was unusually quiet but I guess, he might be tired.

"What happened next?" I asked as I was interested on what my Aesop would do.

"Vera slapped Aesop." Jack finally spoke while he stood up and grinned.

"Emily got angry tho and 'that' side of her showed up again." Jack murmured before laughing it off.

We hunters, have exceptionally great hearing tho, so of course, I could hear Jack loud and clear.

"What side?" I asked confused while tilting my head to the side.

"Oh? You don't know yet? I thought you read the survivors background already." Jack said before adding. "Oh well, if you didn't know, Emily basically killed someone before. Don't be deceived by her sweet appearance."

Michiko nodded before chiming in. "Despite knowing all of that, the survivors still regard Emily as their motherly figure tho. I'm quite surprised by that." Michiko laughed with a soft voice.

"Ahhh, I see. I'm going out to get some fresh air." I told the duo before I went out and unknowingly wandered to the survivors side of the manor.

- Aesop's POV

As Emily was still being tended to, I was extremely tensed so I just decided to go admire the flowers in the garden.

As I was about to walk inside the garden, I suddenly saw a tall shadowy figure just outside the other door of the garden.

"What the hell? A hunter?" I murmured but I had a feeling that he heard me because the tall figure turned around and I was shocked to see a familiar face.

"Joseph?""Aesop?"

We both said in unity.

I quickly went up to Joseph and looked around to see if anyone saw us.

"Why are you here?" I asked while dragging the tall french man behind me into the garden.

"What? Why are you here?" Joseph asked me while he still looked at me confused.

"What do you mean why am I here? This is the survivors side of the manor!" I exclaimed.

"W-what?" Joseph asked.

"Hey..." I said while frowning. "You look... dazed. Is something bothering you?" I asked while looking at Joseph's glittering, azurite like eyes.

"Mhm." Joseph nodded.

"What's wrong?"

"It's just... I heard you had a fight with that trash perfumer.... Speaking of which are you alright?" Joseph asked while caressing my cheek which got slapped by Vera. Don't ask me how he knew which cheek I got slapped on, cause I dunno either.

I was quite surprised how fast news travel and how cute Josephs worried face is.

I chuckled at the thought and soon put my face near his.

"Jose... Are you worried? Hmmm?"
