Juli woke up and yawned, he scratched his eyes and sleeply called for Ema "Chii" when no one answered, he fully woke up and asked again "Chii?", he looked to her bed and saw no one was there, he started to, panic, he ran through the door and was about to start screaming chiiiiii all around the hous when he spotted Louis, who looked down at him and said "Good morning, what's all the fuss about?". Juli started to speak nonstop "Well, I woke up, called for chii, but no one answered, then I called again, when no one answered, I looked at the bed, but no one was there, I panicked and started to look for chii, but I can't find her anywhere, where is she? Maybe one of the wolves attacked her when we were sleeping!?" As Juli ran out of air, he stopped to breath and Louis picked him up with a serious expression and ran to the living room.
This week was an unusual one, all the brothers were at home, suddenly they all wanted to be around Ema, so they were all there, all of them said they had a bad feeling about something this week. They all woke up early and were in the living room.
As Louis arrived at the living room with a worried look on his face, all brothers stiffed, there was a sudden silence, after all, if Louis was serious and worried then there had to be a very good reason to it. They stared at Louis, waiting for him to say something. When he finally said "Has anyone seen Chii-chan today?", all the brothers froze. Thinking about it, no, no one has.
The first one to talk was Kaname "No, why? Did something happen with imouto-chan?" Louis sighed in a worried way and said "I don't know, she isn't home, and that's unsual at such an early hour". Natsume looked at the clock on the wall, it showed 9:30. "Are you sure? Maybe she is outside, looking at the sky or flowers, she likes to do that" Ukyou said. "Sure, sure, I'm not, but..." Before he could end his sentence, Subaru got up from the couch and said "I'm going to look for her", and, with that, he went away from the others. Following his brother, Tsubaki got up and , without saying anything, went to look for his beloved sister. Azusa was next, then Yusuke, with an anxious look on his face, then Natsume and Iori. Hikaru got up and said "Well, it's no fun without the star of the game." and went away. Fuuto was next "Even if she's annoying, I can't provoke her when she's gone." "Imouto-chan might be needing help." Kaname said and went to look for her. Wataru said "I wanna go toooo!"and went after Kaname. So, now, the only ones in the room were Ukyou, Louis, Masaomi and Juli.
Ukyou got up and said "Well, sitting here will not help, so, I will search as well." Masaomi looked to Louis, who sat besides him, with Juli on his shoulder. Masaomi said "You fell it too, right? Something is wrong with Ema and she isn't home." Louis, with an unhappy look, nodded, "I'm sure everyone knows, but don't accept." With the silence fell upon them, they just looked at the floor, thinking about what could have happened with Ema.
After hours of searching, no one found her, they had searched every inch of the house, but, as they suspected, nothing. They all sat on the couch, sharing the same worried, anxious look.
Ukyou,nervous with the tense atmosphere said "We can only call the police after 48 hours... But, I guess someone has to make lunch" With that, he headed to the kitchen. Someone turned the TV, it was on the news, and, for an unhappy coincidence, it was talking about cases of rape, murder and kidnapping, all involving women around 16-24, what only made everyone feel worse. They wanted to know where and how Ema was. Suddenly, Ukyou called from the kitchen "Lunch is ready." Everyone got up and went to eat, but, it was hard to focus on how the food tasted with the current situation.
When everyone was done it was around 3 pm, they sighed and went to sit in the living room again, waiting for anything that could be about Ema whereabouts. Suddenly they heard the front door open and slam, a smile came to everyone's smile, just to disappear seconds later at the sight of Ema.
She looked horrible, she was practically naked, just her ragged dress covering the most needed parts, she had blood running down her arms, belly, shoulder, face, and, to her own sadness, her legs, vomit was all over her, she had bruises everywhere, on her face, arms, belly, everywhere, her face and body were swollen in certain places, she was soaked in water, and, unfortunately, pee, but the most awful thing was the white liquid running down her face, neck and legs, but what was so horrifying was the look on her face, hopeless, without her usual smile, without the light, when she looked at them, she broke down in tears, down to her wounded knees, making the upper ragged part of her dress fall, showing her breasts, that were swollen and purple, with a little blood running down them, and her belly, which had various cuts and terrible blackish-purple bruises all over, then she collapsed.
All 13 brothers were shocked, in disbelief. What in world happened!? Was she r-ra-rapped? No, please no. Only the thought of that made all the brothers blood burn in anger. Plus the way Ema was looking, so pitiful, sad, nightmarish, and scared. The 13 brothers just stared, wanting to be a bad dream, until Masaomi got up to her and screamed "FOR GOD'S SAKE, SOMEONE CALL AN AMBULANCE!", the scream coming from the usually calm Masaomi, made everyone shiver and get on the task, the first to get the phone was Kaname, and in a shaking voice, he did as asked. The rest of the brothers cried, thinking, in anger of who could have done that, whoever it was, is going to pay, but, right now, they only had their bodies for one task: help Ema.
