"Let's keep living together, okay Norman?" she asked.

"Yeah." was all Norman said, he sounded like he was crying.

From what I overheard, Ray had given Norman a device to turn off his tracker, to use it at the right time

From what I overheard, Ray had given Norman a device to turn off his tracker, to use it at the right time.

He sat at the edge of the bed, when Norman asked how he even knew about the demons, he explained about his memory.

Ray wasn't born with infantile amnesia, and he remembers memories from way back when he was in the womb.

Huh, that's funny. I have those memories too.

Whatta coinkidink.

He recited.

A melody.

A tunnel of light.

Babies being split into groups of five.

Mentions of demons.

And his birth mother.

Reminded me of myself and my memories.

I mentally recite my own memories.

Songs, melodies, and lullabies.

A tunnel of light.

Meat... Lots and lots of meat around...

Big place...

Fancy things...

Celebrations...

That's pretty much it.

Once dinner rolled around, I overheard a ruckus coming from downstairs. A child crying and saying, "Congratulations Norman!"

Oh, so she told them huh?

Isabella comes in and brings in two dinner plates. One for Emma, and one for me.

Okay, if I don't want Emma to see me. I have to guess or be sneaky when taking the food.

I thought.

I waited for about a minute before reaching my now blue-ish skinned hand out to grab a piece of chicken.

"W-whos there?!" I heard Emma say.

Damn.

I guess my morphed skin makes Emma not recognize me.

I silently eat the chicken and just wait.

Actually, what's the use of that? She already knows I'm here.

The door opens, and it's Ray and Norman's voice again. I assume to eat dinner with her.

"Nay, Emma. What are you shuddering about?" Ray asks.

"S-s-somethings there..."

Well, I guess I knew I couldn't hide from them forever.
