"I don't recall ever asking Tom to fetch you, are you sure it's not someone else?"

Emma tilted her head, confused. "Oh, Really?"

Signing various documents scattered over her table, Emma peered over the tabletop to the Matron of the orphanage speed past the papers, taking less then a second before stacking them into various piles. What the child did notice was occasionally one of the stacks would tip over slowly before a few would fall back across the table.

would then pause before continuing and seeing this with the fact that she deals with children on the daily, Emma felt that the glass of wine the adult would call "grape juice" was justified.

Emma shuffled the papers in a way that it would be stable.

"So how was Mr. and Mrs. Turner?" asked, steel eyes speeding past various paragraphs in seconds.

She shrugged, "They were nice but ran away after seeing Solomon."

paused, quill mid-sentence.

"Solomon?"

"The cute garden snake that hangs around Tom." Emma was confused at the suspicious look on her face.

Blank faced, thought for a moment.

"…Tom has been spending more time with you, haven't he?"

"Yeah, even though he looks and acts like the Anti-Christ, he's not that bad though." Emma already knew what she was hinting at, she wasn't blind. One of the few times potential parents would show any interest in adopting her would often cut it short because of a surprise appearance of Solomon, Tom or sometimes even both. It may have been a few years of living in the orphanage, and intern getting to know Tom Marvolo Riddle and she liked him, really, she did but took note of a few of his more…violent tendencies.

Her hair was sticky and uncombable for weeks from that one Strawberry Jam incident and let's not also forget their local Pastor who once tried to "Bless" the devil child.

snorted, amused at the description and dismissed the child who was more than happy to oblige.

Much later after getting ready for bed, Emma tiredly made her way in the dimly lit hallway back to her room. Yawning, she reached the familiar door and without a second thought threw it open only to be met with a surprise. The occupant was just as shocked as she was.

Nobody moved, Emma was frozen in place while Tom as still as a statue, in his arms Elizabeth the 3rd continued to squirm and kick her legs in a futile attempt to escape.

Double checking the number on the door, the girl realized that the room in fact wasn't her room and that she wasn't even in the right area of the building. Her eye twitched.

"Sorry for barging in," She apologize. "But how and why do you have Elizabeth?"

He did not have an answer.

Not once has he ever shown interest in the rabbit, considering his complicated relationship with Elizabeth's owner and thinking back to all those times the boy had "hurt those who are mean to him," Emma was only able to come up with one logical conclusion, as much as she hated it.

"…You weren't going to hurt her, were you?"

His grip on the rabbit tighten as he glared. Sleep deprived; Emma was not dealing with this shit tonight.

Walking over to the boy, she held her arms out. Giving him the option to resolve this without the use of violence.

Not budging, Tom took her challenge. Her eye twitched.

Before Tom knew what hit him, he got a face full of pillow as the animal in his arm was snatched. The moment this happened the lights flickered but this went unnoticed by the two children as after the pillow fell the next thing the dark-haired child knew his ear was firmly pinched by an angry child.

"I don't care about what's going on between you two…" Emma scowled, Elizabeth the 3rd held in her arms protectively. "I get that you like taking trophies and getting back at people but seriously dude what you were about to do was not alright."

Tom was stiff as a board.

Letting go, Emma felt a head ace coming on as she pointed to his bed. "Now sit, out of concern of a friend we are going to talk this out and," Holding the hard pillow in one hand threateningly she added. "Settle this like real adults."
