(Sorry to hear that. Take your time, and be safe.)

Emily reached her hand out to Negi. She inched closer to her and took the girl in her arms. She didn't shed a tear, trying to stay strong for her. Then she cried. She cried even more as loud footsteps were heard coming towards the door. Fists were heard banging on the door and Emily kept Negi in her arms. Suddenly, a key was drawn from the top of the door and the door slammed open. There he stood, angry and guilty at the same time, clearly drunk. "Master Frin." Emily said softly. His name caught distaste on her tongue.

Master Frin stood at the door, his body swaying a bit from the alcohol. "I know it was you who saw." He said. "You keep that to yourself!" He said, and went to grab Negi out of Emily's arms. "You're pretty." He said to Negi. "What's a beautiful girl like you doing here?" He laughed as he mocked her. Emily stood up, and pushed Negi over to the bed. She walked over to Master Frin as he grabbed her wrists, took her out of the room and slammed the door. He brought her into a room she had been in many times before, called The Punishment Room. The alcohol intensified the beatings, as he threw blows at her with his fists, and than forced her to lift up her shirt as he whipped her back. "Keep what you saw quiet!" Her screams from the agonizing beatings were heard probably far beyond the Orphanage. Orphans cringed at the sound.
