A little girl With Black Hair and E/c, held the Bars of the Cold steel gate, also with hands of another little girl with bright orange hair. They was Never able to enter, all they could do was look at it, wondering what's on the other side, if there was people behind the big steel gate. "What is this?" Y/n Asks.

"I'ts a gate. It connects to the inside and outside." Norman says. "Outside, huh?" Emma says. "We've never been outside." Y/n says.

"That's because we've been here ever since we were born." Norman says. "Mom always tells us, dosen't she?" Emma says holding onto the bars tighter while smiling.

"Don't go near the gate or fence in the back of the forest because it's dangerous." Y/n says while going closer to Emma.  "That's obviously a lie." Ray said. "Really?" Y/n says. 

"Hey Ray!, what do you want to do if you go outside?" Emma askes the raven Haired boy. "I don't know. What about you?" Ray says looking at the orange haired female.

"I want to ride a giraffe!" Emma says. Ray puts his back agenst the wall looking at the grass. "Good Luck." Ray says. Emma Turned to the black haired female and looks into her E/c eyes.

"What about you Y/n, what do you want to do if you go outside?" "Well that is simple of course" Y/n says while she walked to Ray then giving him a big hug.

"I want to Marry Ray!!" Y/n says proudly, while Ray blushes a dark red then lookes away. Emma and Norman Started to giggle knowing that the Black Haired female has a crush on the dark haired male. Then Norman walks up to the gate and holds onto it with one tiny hand.

"I wonder... I wonder what is this gate is protecting us from." Norman says. Then all the Kids just looked at the gate for a little while.

Everyone was sleeping peacefully as the night became into day with the sun slowly rising. Then a Bell was rung throughout the hole house. Y/n eyes fluttered open and she rubbed her eyes so she can see better. Emma also got up and walked up to Y/n.

"GOOD MORNING, Y/N!" Emma said while jumping on her bed then giving Y/n a hug from behind. Y/n laughed and she held Emma's arms to hug her back. "GOOD MORNING, EMMA!" Y/n also shouted.

The two standed up on Y/n's bed to shout. "Everyone, wake up, or you'll be late for breakfast!" Y/n and Emma shouted at the same time.

After Y/n and Emma got dressed, they were both helping while they can hear Thoma and Lannion goofing around. "Hey, wait for me!" Thoma said. Lannion laugh, "No, way!". Then the two can hear Gilda starting to scold them.

"Hey! Stop messing around and get ready!" Gilda shouted. "Y/n, I can't get my shoes on." Phil said. "I can't tie my shoelaces!" another child said on the brink of crying.

"Okay, hold on. don't cry." Y/n said comforting the two.

After the two of you were done, Emma and You ran out of there while Emma Held Phil. The two of you passed Conny and Don, then went back to say hi. "Good Morning Don, Conny, and little Bunny!" Y/n and Emma said at the same time.

"Morning!" Don said. "Morning, Emma and Y/n." Conny said. Then Y/n and Emma ran into the main room where everyone was. "Look we made it!" Emma said. Y/n pumped up her fist, "Yea!" Y/n shouted

Then both Y/n and Emma was both bumped playfully by Thoma and Lannion. Y/n and Emma had shadows over their eyes when they looked at the to playful boys. All they did was laugh, then Y/n and Emma both turned around and started to laugh weirdly. Y/n and Emma turned around with shadows still over their eyes.

 "Watch out... I'm going to eat you!!" Y/n and Emma said at the same time, then started to chase the two boys. Emma grabbed Thoma and Y/n grabbed Lannion, not hearing Gilda. "*sigh* Their at it again" Gilda said. Y/n and Emma both got into a hug fest with Thoma and Lannion then feeling Phil on top of their heads.

Emma ran out first with Phil on her back and then Y/n came hugging the both from behind. "Morning, Norman! Ray!" Y/n and Emma said. "Good morning, Emma, Y/n" Norman said. "Morning, Emma, N/n" Ray said copying how Emma said it.

"Your Both so energetic. Even though you both haven't ate breakfast yet." Norman said. "How old are you both again? Five?" Ray said while walking off to put the kettle(Have no idea what it is) on the table. Y/n and Emma puffed up their cheeks. 

"We're 11, the same as you guys, And one of the oldest here!" Y/n and Emma said.

Y/n ran to Ray and gave him a hug from behind. "Why you gotta be like that Rayyyy!" Y/n said. All Ray could do was blush a bright red. Then Emma and Y/n could hear Mom chuckling. "You're laughing too mom? Emma asked. "Emma, Y/n. Could you give me a hand here?" Mom asked.

Emma and Y/n both jumped on mom, for a hug "But Mom! me and Emma are going to do our entrance from the beginning." Y/n said. "Why? I love that part about you two." Mom said. "That we're five years old on the inside?" Emma and Y/n asked. Mom shook her head no.

"The part where you both care deeply about your family." Mom said then cupping a hand on Emma and Y/n faces. Emma Gave a closed eye smile. "Thanks, Mom."

Mom let Emma and Y/n go. Emma looked at Y/n and saw that she was just staring into the distance. "U-um Y/n are you okay, H-hey Y/n! RAY! NORMAN! Y/N IS NOT TALKING!!" Emma shouted.

"Oh just wait for it." Norman says. "Huh? wait for what?" Emma asked. Ray then held up his fingers then started to count down. "Five, Four, Three, Two, One" Ray said then pointed at Y/n then right when his finger pointed at her she kind of exploded.

"AHHHHH, SHE SHORT CIRCUITED!!" Emma yelled. "Don't worry she'll be fine, come on Y/n" Ray said then Grabbed Y/'s hand to sit at the table. Y/n sat between Ray and Emma, trying to cool herself down. Y/n has never been able to handle complimentsts form ANYONE.

Mom ranged the bell then started to talk. "Good Morning, my dear children." "Let's give thanks that all 39 of you siblings are able to live hear happily, today, too...Thank you for the food." Mom said. "Thank you for the food." Everyone said.

Time Skip:

"Age 11, type 1. Answer each question within nine seconds. We will now begin." Then at the beep all the Kids started to take their tests. Then another beep sounded off to say that the test was over. Gilda and Y/n gave a long sigh of relief. The Y/n can hear Thoma from next to her. "Well, I think I got at least half." "That much? Wow!" one child said.

Then Conny walked up to stand next to Y/n. "I'm jealous. I didn't get most of it." Conny said. "That's alright Conny." Y/n said while petting the little blonde hair. Ray smiled softly at the E/c eyed female and the blonde's interaction.

"Are you all ready for the results?" Mom said. She looked at her papers. "Norman, Ray, Emma, Y/n, You four did an amazing job. You got all of them right! Perfect scores!" Mom announced. "Yay!" Emma and Y/n shouted.

Then after a few seconds, Don standed up. "Norman!" Don shouted. Norman eyes widen then looked at Don. "I challenge you to a game of tag!" Norman just gave a closed eye smile.

All the children started to run off. Norman looked at Ray then he looked from his book getting a pocket watch out. Ray looked back up at Norman, then Norman gave a nod then started to run off.

Ray went back to reading only or a second then he could hear his name being called out. "RRRRRRAYYYY" Y/n Shouted then pounced on him where she was giving him a nice bear hug. "A-ah, N/n what are you doing?" Ray said while pushing Y/n off the stuffing is face back into the book to hide his now red face.

"I was hugging you, at least let me hug your arrrrm!" Y/n wined. Ray put his book on his lap to reveal a beautiful red blush on his face while we held out his arm for her to hold.

Y/n eyes shined then she latched onto his arm. "Sooo, whatcha Reeadinggg?" Y/n asks putting her head on Ray's shoulder. "I-it's nothing." Ray says. "Oii, It an't nothing" Y/n says while Unlatching herself the crossing her arms. She pushed the book down with her finger then cupping her hands on both sides of his face. 

Then moved his bang behind his ear so she could see his other eye. "N-N/n, what are y-you doing?" Ray blushed a dark red. "I'm looking at your pretty forest green eyes." Y/n said bluntly. Ray smirked, he pushed his face closer to hers to where their noes were touching. "Well, I love your beautiful E/c eyes." Ray said. "...." Y/n paused for a little while then well... she exploded

Anime Blush 2.

"EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Y/n shouted. Ray pulled back once he saw the children coming back. Y/n sat back next to Ray leaning her head on his shoulder. Y/n can hear someone say "Dang, I got caught". Then Don walked up.

"What the heck? He practically got everyone." "Well, it's Norman after all." Nat said. "The Only survivor is..." Anna said. "...Just Emma." Gilda finished. Y/n and Ray both looked at the pocket watch

"Ehhhh, I'm tired. Imma take a nap" Y/n said then closing her eyes. Ray rolled his eyes as he made Y/n let go of his arm to have her head on his lap. "You're always tired." Ray aid while stroking her hair. "Ohh be quiet..." Y/n said then drifting to sleep. After a while , Ray looked up and saw Emma and Norman. Emma layed face first into the grass having an adorable tantrum.

"He Caught me again! Why? So Frustrating!" Emma shouted. "Emma, Shhhh" Ray said pointing at the Black haired female in his lap. "ohh, okay" Emma said. "Question." Ray said. "What does Norman have that you don't?" Ray said. Emma paused for a little bit.

"Umm, The ability to plan ahead? Calmness? Overwhelming intelligence?" Emma said. "A Braain?" Y/n said sitting up from Ray's lap. Norman chuckled a little bit and Ray snickered while he patted her head. "Heyyyyy, Y/nnnnnnnn! You ain't gotta be like that, You hang out with Ray tooo much!" Emma said pulling you from the Dark haired male.

"H-hey, sorry, sorry, I'm kidding!" Y/n laughed out. "It's Strategy." Ray said. "If it's about simple physical ability, you and even N/n have the upper hand. But Norman is strong right here, like no other." Ray said.

Y/n and Emma both tilted their heads like little puppies. "You're playing tag. It's a game where you compete with strategy." Ray continued. "A simple game of tag?" Emma and Y/n said.

"It's like chess, but using your entire body." Ray explained. "Isn't that right, Norman?" Ray asked the silver haired boy. "Yeah. But you're a better tactician than me, Ray." Norman said.

"Yup! Your on of the greatest tacticians I ever seen!" Y/n praised. Ray turned a bright red. "Y-you overestimate m-me" Ray studderd. Emma and Norman saw this and remembered that the two Dark haired children had feelings for each other.

"Hey Ray, are you okay?" Norman asked having a cat like smile. "Yea, you're a little red. are you flustered?" Emma asked with the same smile. Ray's blush darkened and Y/n just tilted her head innocently.

"S-shut up." Ray said turning his head away to calm his blush. Emma looked down at the grass thinking about what Ray said. "Reading the enemy's moves, huh?" Emma said.

"But we're not even close when it comes to Mom" Norman said. "That's true. We've never beaten her at chess. Ohhh except Y/n, Just yesterday Y/n did it." Norman and Ray's eyes widden now looking at the E/c eyed girl.

"Really? That's amazing Y/n." Norman said. "Yea good job." Ray said giving her head pats. Y/n turned a bright red then looked away. "T-thank you." Y/n said. "Norman!" The four looked at the source of the voice.

"I want a rematch! Next game, everyone will be "it" except you!" Don shouted. "Whoa!" Emma, Y/n and a few others said. "He's losing his cool again." Gilda said.

Tiny time skip:

Emma and Y/n walked beside each other looking around for Norman. Y/n and Emma stopped and turned to where the fence was located. They started to walk like they were just drawn to it. Once they made it they turn to find Norman also looking at the fence also.

Norman turned his head and saw the girls looking at him, then Y/n and Emma walked towards him and at the same time they put a hand on his shoulder. Norman looked at their hands then back up at them giving them a smile. "You both caught me." Norman said. 

"You can't go near the fence, no matter what." Emma and Y/n said. "Yeah, Mom is always telling us that, The gate and the fence deep in the forest are dangerous." Norman said.

Y/n went to touch the fence but then a familiar voice came out of nowhere stopping her from touching it. "That's obviously a lie." Ray said. "What do you mean?" Norman asks. "Well, just look at it. What part of this is dangerous? The fence is low, and I don't see anything threatening." Ray says. 

"But if Mom is telling us that..." Y/n and Emma said. "You both really love Mom, after all." Ray interrupted. "But everyone-" "Hey! Are you sure you guys are playing tag?" Don asked. Then the other kids started to come. "Oh, is the game over already? Gilda said walking with Conny. "We should call it a day. if we're late, Mom will be worried." Norman says.

"We'll eventually leave this place, huh?" Don says looking at the gate. "This is an orphanage. Of course we'll leave eventually. Before we turn 12." Nat says. "You know what? We don't receive letters from anyone." Gilda says. "Letters?" Emma asked.

"You Know, after they leave the House, no one writes us." Gilda says. "I'm sure they're being considerate to their foster parents." Norman says. "But we've all been together ever since we were born! Even if we're not related by blood, we're truer siblings than most." Don says.

Gilds crossed her arms. "They must be having so much fun everyday that they've forgotten about the House." "Then it's fine, right? I'm happy for them." Y/n and Emma says. "I want to go outside too!" Gilda shouted. "What would you do outside?" Nat asked Gilda in a teasing way.

"Isn't it obvious? Get new clothes!" Gilda shouted. "Not again." Don said rolling his eyes. "I mean, come on! We only have this on uniform!" Gilda said. "I read in books that the outside world has so many different types of clothes! I want to wear them all!" Gilda continued. "I want to eat delicious food." Nat says.

"I want to go on a date with a cute girl." Don says. "Geez, that was rude." Gilda says. "Oh, that's not what I meant." Don says. "I want to see a train!" Phil shouted. "That's a good one!" Don told Phil. "What about you, Norman?" Emma asked the silver haired boy.

"I want to go to different places and see things I've never seen before." Norman says. "Good idea! and you, Ray?" Emma asked. "Once I get outside, well, I'd have to survive first." Ray says. "Such a downer. What about you, Emma?" Don asked. "Me?" "You want to ride a giraffe, right?" Ray asks. 

Emma chuckled a little bit. "Did I say that? Well, I don't really want to leave. I want to stay here forever!" Emma says. "Hey, that's kind of unfair." Don says. "But I'm so happy right now. Right?" Emma says then looking at the E/c female.

"Hey Y/n, what do you want to do when your outside?" "W-well-" "What's the matter, did you not change your mind about your first thought, You said you wanted to mar-" "AHHHHHHHHHHH, EMMAAA, Shhhhhhh" Y/n shouted to stop her. 

Ray's cheeks blushed a dark red hue then turned his face so no one could see it. "Awww, come on Y/n, I want to hear it." Don shouted.

"NO!" Y/n shouted, she crossed her arms and turned around and little did she know Emma told Don, Gilda and Nat. "OoOoOoOoooooo, Y/n!" Don and Nat shouted. "EMMA, YOU TOLD!!" "Sorry! But they need to know!" "NO THEY DON'T!"

"It shale be my new top ship!" Gilda said pumping her fists in the air. "NO STOP IT!!" Y/n shouted covering up her face. In the background Conny and Phil was looking at the scene totally clueless.

Then Conny stepped up. "I promise to write! I'll write a lot of letters, I'll never forget about everyone." Y/n eyes soften then she went and held Conny in her arms.

"When I leave the House, I want to become a mother like Mom. And then, I'll never abandon any children." Conny said. "You love Mom very much, don't you?" Y/n asked. "Yeah!" Conny then gave a cute closed eye smile.

The Night came and it was time for Conny to go. "I'm slow, and I wasn't as smart as everyone, but even after I leave, I'll do my best, I'll have Little Bunny so I'll be okay." Conny said holding Little bunny closer to her body. "Conny..." Don said. Then Conny started to cry.

"I don't want to leave anymore, I want to stay here!" Y/n's eyes started to water the Ray grabbed her shoulder and pulled her into a side hug then kissed her forehead. Y/n buried her face into Ray's neck starting to cry. Then she could hear Don "Conny...Conny." Don said.

Then Next thing they knew.... Conny was gone

.

Emma and Y/n walked into the dinning hall to clean up, they both turned around and saw Little Bunny siting on the table. "Conny! You're kidding me!" Y/n and Emma said at the same time. 

"Let's hurry and finish up cleaning." Gilda said to Norman. "Conny's already gone! What should I do?" Emma says grabbing Little Bunny. "There's still time." Ray said. "Huh?" "From the window, I saw the lights on at the gate were still on. Mom isn't back yet either so I don't think Conny has left yet.

"Let's Hurry, Emma." Norman says. "Okay, You coming Y/n?" Emma asked the E/c eyed female. "Yes! of course"

Norman, Emma, and Y/n ran to the gate as fast as they could. Then once they made it... they paused.

"You can't go near the gate, no matter what." Emma and Y/n said. "I know. Let's get scolded together, later." Norman said. Norman, Emma, and Y/n hid behind the wall to see if anyone was there.

"Conny?"

No one answered, Norman slowly went in first then the two girls followed. They walked further and further into the gate. They kept walking till they came upon a truck.

"Is this the truck that'll take Conny? Actually, I've never seen a vehicle before." Emma said. Y/n nodded in agreement.

Emma and Y/n started to walk around, they heard water drop, both looked at the ground and saw a tiny puddle then looked up to find where the water came from. A pipe. Emma and Y/n went to the back of the truck.

"No one's here." Said Norman. "Maybe she'll find it if we leave it in the back." Y/n said. "Yeah." 

Y/n and Emma pulled the cover and what they saw.... made them horrified. Emma dropped Little Bunny on the ground.

Y/n and Emma stept back with horrified looks on their faces. "Norman." Emma wimperd.

Norman saw the scared looks on their faces then looked at the truck. He gulped then started to walk towards the truck slowly. Then he looked into the truck then gasped. There lied Conny, lifeless, pale, eyes wide open, and a red flower sticking out of her chest.

"Is someone there?" A voice asked. The looked at the door where the voices came from. "Hey did you hear a voice just now?" On voice said. "Probably your imagination." Another said. They quickly hid under the truck when the doors were opening.

"If it was a stray cat, I would have caught it and ate it." One said. "You eat things like cats?" Another asked. They look more out and what they saw was horrifying.

Demons

One picked up Conny and opened his mouth and showed all his teeth and tongue. 

"It looks so delicious. Human flesh is the best." It said. "No" Norman whispered. Then a big tank was placed in front of the truck and put Conny in it "Damn! Can't I at least have a fingertip?" The one demon said.

"You idiot. It's Valuable Merchandise, It's not something the likes of us can have. All of the human flesh produced on this farm are high-quality meat intended for the rich." The other spoke.

Emma looked at the two and asked "Where's Mom?" Norman hushed her. "Is the Gupa done?" a new demon asked. "Mostly done, sir." the demon said. "Another six-year-old... Lately we've been shipping out normal quality ones. But it looks like we'll soon harvest some high quality ones... Isabella." The demon said. 

The Tree could no believe what they was hearing. "Yes" Isabella said. "Make the preparations to pluck these three with full scores." "Understood".

"Wait. I smell something." the one demon said. The demon looked all around but then his eyes went to under the truck and all he found was Little Bunny

Emma, Norman and Y/n ran away from the gate as fast as they could. Emma tripped and Norman a Y/n called out her name in worry. Y/n fell to the grass and pulled herself to Emma. Emma grabbed Y/n by the arm and pulled her into a hug.

"Is this place a farm? Are we all...food." Y/n started. "No, it can't be. Everyone found foster homes." Emma said.

"A-and Mom... It was the usual, kind Mom, right? We were mistaken T-that g-girl wasn't C- c-c-conny, right?" Y/n said. Emma and Norman looked at Y/n in fear, Y/n was strong but in times like this, she is fragile like glass. Y/n's eyes turned to where she has no pupil now where her eyes have no life to it.

Norman Paused in fear then took a big gulp then looked at them both. "That was Conny." Y/n and Emma's eyes started to water as they started to cry. Y/n let out a bone Chilling scream which caused Emma to cry even more.

When they walked back in Ray was there Holding a lantern. "Welcome back. How did it go?" He asked. Norman shook his head. "We didn't make it." he said. Norman, Emma and Y/n walked pass Ray. Ray grabbed Y/n wrist, and once she turned around Ray saw her dead eyes, they were no more full of life.

"N/n, what happened?" Ray asked. "It's nothing" She simply replied. "It's something... Hey" Ray started. "Yes." Y/n replied.

Ray's cheeks flushed a red Hue. "Would you like to go outside and draw with me under the moonlight... just like we did as little kids, It might make you feel better." He said putting the lantern down then giving her a tight hug. "Y-Yes please that would be nice." Y/n said

Meanwhile with Emma and Norman:

"Were we raised just to be eaten by something?" Emma said. "Let's escape, Emma. We have to leave this place. Don't worry. We can do it. You, me, Ray, and Y/n. If it's the four of us..." "It might be impossible." Emma interupted.

"I can't leave them here. Otherwise they'll definitely get killed. I don't want any more of my family to die." Emma said then started to cry even more

Norman looked away and calmed himself, the puted a hane on her shoulder. "It's not impossible." he said. Emma looked up at him with confusion and shock. Norman got off the bed and sat next to her on the floor. 

"It'll be okay. Let's run away. Together, with everyone." Norman said. "B-but how? How will us kids run away from those monsters?" Emma asked. Emma looked ahead then gasp at now knowing where Norman was getting at.

"Strategy. It'll be the same as playing tag." Emma said. "That's right. We'll find a way for all of us to survive." Norman said.

Emma nodded her head in agreement.
