After having helped that robot, Emily and Ballora walked calmly.

Emily: Ballora?

Ballora: Yes, Emily?

Emily: What do you plan to do when I have a family?

I mean... if I get adopted.

Ballora: *Surprised* Hmm... well, I would try to talk to such a family that I'm not... dangerous.

Emily: It's just... I don't want to be separated from you.

Ballora: Awww, Emily.

*Emily snuggles with Ballora for a moment*

[Later, the two stumbles in a hallway]

Ballora: Oh well it wasn't bad, at least we're-

*Both hear moans and roars*

Emily: W-What was that?

The two of them turned around and there were a bunch of endos walking around like zombies.

Ballora: *grabs Emily's hand* Run!

Emily: Ahhh!

*Emily and Ballora run from the swarm*

Emily: Where are we going!?

*The two turn a corner and Ballora sees an open door*

Ballora: Over here!

The two enter and hide in a locker, the swarm continues on its way, so they have lost them.

Ballora and Emily: *sigh*

Ballora: That was close...

Emily: Yeah... *puts her hand on her tummy*

Ballora: Emily!? What's wrong?

*Emily's belly growls*

Emily: I'm just hungry...

Ballora: Hmm...

Ballora worries that Emily hasn't eaten anything since they escaped, so Ballora and Emily leave the locker.

Ballora: *Bends down and puts her hands on Emily's shoulders* Emily listens, I'll look for something, meanwhile stay here, it's not safe for you to be alone. Got it?

Emily: Yes, please be careful.

Ballora: Okay. *She leaves*

Emily: Well... I'll just wait here, until Ballora return. *talks to herself*

*starts to speak in her mind*

I guess... I'll have to go back to my other life on the streets... I can't believe this is happening *leans against a wall and sits on the floor*. What am I going to do?

I don't want to be in an orphanage, they could mistreat me, no one will love me, nor adopt me...

But... at least... I have Ballora, she has taken care of me, even the others, all those moments we have had together, I never had a big family before, I didn't have friends either, but everything I got... It is gone...

I just hope it's not my fate.

After that mental tale, Emily's tummy rumbles again, only a little louder and Emily tries to calm her down.

Emily: Hey calm down, Ballora will be back.

[with Ballora]

Ballora (thinking): Gosh... now it's impossible to find food, so Emily's life was like that before she arrived, poor thing, she must be very hungry, I have to find something fast.

[4 hours later]

Ballora: Hmm? *sees a can of food*, oh great, a can of- *turns it over and there's nothing in it*.

Oh crap... 4 hours searching to find an empty can, *sighs* I think Emily will have to wait, I hope she can hold out.

*Ballora decides to return*

[Back with Emily]

Emily: *hunger sighs*

Emily doesn't know what to do, but suddenly something started to sound.

Emily: Hey, what was that? They sound like... knocks.

The knocks that were heard were metallic sounds, so... there is someone else here.

Emily followed the noises until she reached a part of the room where there were more lockers.

Speaking of lockers, one of them was moving, that's what was playing, there was someone inside the locker.

Emily: *Frightens* So it's coming from there... who's going to be inside?

I should be careful...

Emily begins to slowly approach, suddenly the banging of the locker became more abrupt each time she got closer.

Emily: Ummm... h-hello...?

Just as Emily asks the locker stops moving.

Emily: (Did it hear me?)

When Emily approaches the locker she opens it slowly, and when she opens it-

(This terrifying endoskeleton is called: Jawlock)

Jawlock: Raahhhh! *roar*

Emily: Ahhhhhh!!!

Ballora: Emily! Resist, I'm coming!

Emily falls to the ground and recoils as she crawls, the Jawlock aggressively closing in on her as it tries to bite her.

Emily: Ahh! Get away from me, don't hurt me!

Ballora: *arrives* Emily! *grabs a hard bar and runs to the Jawlock*, stay away from my little girl!

When Ballora hits Jawlock, he suddenly catches the bar in his mouth, Ballora struggles to remove it but Jawlock pushes her away keeping the bar, and suddenly shatters the bar with his jaw.

Ballora: Holy sh*t!

*grabs Emily* Emily let's go!

Emily: Okay! (Wait... what did she say...?)

(So... Emily has NEVER heard a swear word before).

The two run as far as they can from Jawlock, after reaching a dead end, Ballora sees a vent, she and Emily get into the duct and manage to lose Jawlock.

Ballora: *sighs* Almost...

Emily: Yeah.

The two continue to crawl through the vent until-

Both: Ahhh!

-They fall.

Emily: Ouch...

Ballora: Are you okay?

Emily: Yeah, uh by the way... uhhh.

Ballora: What is it?

Emily: Before that thing chased us... what did you say?

Ballora: What are you talking-? *realizes what she said*, (oh hell...) uhm... did your parents tell you what a swear word is?

Emily: Yes, although I did not understand well before...

Ballora: First of all, I'm sorry for what I said. And second, you better not say things like that.

Emily: Because it is bad?

Ballora: Yes Emily, that's right.

Emily: Well, I'll try not to say any swear words.

Ballora: Good.

Now let's continue, or if you want... we can rest somewhere.

Emily: *yawns* Well... it would be better to rest, after being attacked like two or three times *rubs her eyes*.

Ballora: Okay.

Ballora carries Emily while looking for a place to sleep, until she reaches a room which is an old office, a very old one, there was a door that led to another room, when she entered what was on the other side was a bedroom, there was a large bed, a lamp that was already worn, and some stuffed animals.

Ballora: Hmm *smiles*, this will come in handy.

*Ballora puts Emily on the bed and she sleeps with her*

Ballora: Ahh... ok, that's it.

Emily: Ballora...

Ballora: Hmm? Are you still hungry?

Emily: Yeah but... aren't you hungry either?

Ballora: Not really- *her belly growls*. Oh...it seems so.

*Emily settles down a bit*

Ballora: Emily what are you doing...?

*Emily puts her head on Ballora's stomach*

Ballora: *blushes a little* Ehm... Emily?

Emily: It's just... a long time ago my mother used to let me listen to her tummy when I slept with her. And listening to it relaxes me.

Ballora: *smiles a bit* Hmph, okay, good night my sweet.

Emily: *yawns* Goodnight, Mom...

*Ballora pats Emily's head and she sleep*
