"Yes! Yes! I'm Emmett" all of a sudden the tension in his face faded away and he looked at me with hope and something else which I quite couldn't put my fingers on.

　　"Then why are you being so restless? Why are your hands trembling?" I asked smiling as I looked at his trembling hands. I noticed his hands trembling when he ran his hand through his hair. His hands always trembled whenever he lied or he was in tension.


　　"Tell me," I said sarcastically at him.

　　He looked down to his still trembling hands and I could see him gulping.

　　"Oh! There are trembling because I h-have been here for so long and that Zachary. Yes, that Zachary has done so many horrible things to me Juliette" he came forward and held me by my arms.


　　"Juliette he is not a good guy. He wants to kill me. He wants to hurt you too. Juliette" he took my hand into his "Juliette help me! get me out of here. I know what he has done to you. Trust me!" he put one of his hand on my cheek "I still love you. Help me to get out of here" he said.

　　"I asked you a question," I said as I removed his hand from mine.


　　"Are you serious?" he snapped.

　　"I am saying that I am in a problem and help me get me out of here and all you are doing is repeating the same fucking question!" he snapped at me which made me take a step back from him.

　　He noticed this and he sighed closing his eyes.

　　"Juliette!" He came forward and tried to hug me but I put a hand between us stopping him from moving any closer.

　　"You want to kill me?" I could feel my eyes stinging.

　　"Wh-What! No! How could you ever think that way? I woul-" I stopped him in the middle.

　　"Who are you?" I asked enunciating each word. This time I was losing my patience.

　　"Agai-" the sound of the slap echoed in the room as his face turned the other side while my palm stung due to the impact of the slap.

　　"Did you just slap me?" he looked up at me as he touched his face not believing what I just did.

　　It was the first time ever that I raised my hands to him. I couldn't help it. He was keeping on ignoring my questions. All he cared was being freed. Getting out of here. But what me? Did he ever ask how was I in all these days? How was I suffering thinking that he died?

　　"How dare you?" his face contoured the one of an angry beast as he lunged at me and grabbed me by my hair.

　　"Aaah!" a sob left my mouth. I was too shocked to move away. Is this the same Emmett whom I loved?

　　"You little piece of shit! Have you the audacity to raise a hand on me? Hu?" he grabbed another fistful of my hair and pulled it roughly arching my neck in an odd position which brought tears to my eyes.

　　"Emm-" he didn't let me finish because he clicked his tongue and grabbed my chin forcefully.

　　"Emmett! Emmett! Emmett! It's Nicholas" he sneered while I looked at him hurt by his revelation.

　　"Hard to believe? Hu?" he laughed "You wanted to hear the truth? Here is the truth! I am Nicholas Greer" and he pushed me to the ground. I fell on my side and winced feeling my sides hurting. But I refused to look back at him or get up from the place. Because I wanted to hide my face. I was so embarrassed at myself. How did I not get it from the beginning?

　　Is he Nicholas?

　　Has he killed Zachary's sister?

　　Is he a murderer?

　　Did I love a murderer?

　　All these questions roamed inside my head and I sobbed and wept as the bitter reality hit me hard on my face. All of a sudden the world seemed to rotate and my vision blurred as I felt little dizzy.

　　"Yes, Nicholas Greer" I heard him and heard his footsteps next to mine but as soon as he got near I saw another foot walking my way from my peripheral vision and all of a sudden a heard a whoomp sound.

　　"Don't touch her!" I heard Zachary.

　　It was Zachary.

　　Mustering up courage, I looked back to see Zachary kicking Emmett on his stomach.

　　"You bastard! How dare you touch her?" was what I heard when I was really close to losing my sense.

　　I felt a hand on my arms and I looked up to see it, Willi.

　　"Get up!" he said as he helped me get up on my foot.

　　As he held me from my arms I saw Zachary's assaults on Emmett.

　　"Zac-Zachary" I tried to stop him.

　　He looked back at me with rage-filled in his eyes but soon he left a whimpering Emmett alone rolling on the ground.

　　All of a sudden Emmett starting laughing. He laughed hard as he wiped the tears away from the corner of his eyes and he got up wincing back on his foot.

　　"You can't save her every time you know" he laughed hysterically looking straight into Zachary's eyes.

　　"You are soon going to die soon. Let my dad find me out first. Then I will see each and every one of you. You all will pay for this!" he snarled at Zachary. Zachary rolled his shoulder and took a step closer to him.

　　"We will see," he said in a low threatening tone and turned around and walked towards me and held me by my waist as he made me walk towards the door.

　　"You can't save her every time!" I heard Emmett as we walked out of the room.

　　I saw some people walking into that room walking past us.

　　"H-He betrayed me!" was what I muttered and felt Zachary's arm tightening on my torso.
