Will knocked on the door. Sounds of the deadbolt unlocking were heard and the door opened.

"Can I help you?" the man asked.

"Did you know a guy named Ken Tanaka?" Carl asked.

"Yeah, why?" the man asked questioningly.

"We need to find him. We saw that he moved." Will said.

"Umm... I don't know." the man said but he didn't look at them when he said that. He was hiding something.

"Please!" Will pleaded. He took out a picture of Emma. "Look. This woman. She was kidnapped by Ken. He blackmailed him." He pointed to Carl as he said that.

"Okay here's all I know. I was helping him move stuff and I was able to go to his house. It's up E. High Street and turn left at N. Central Avenue. You'll see a big warehouse. About 30 feet behind that warehouse is a house. That's where you'll find him. Please don't tell him that I told you!"

"Of course sir! Thank you! So it's up on East High St. and you go left at N. Central Ave?

"Yes. I really do hope that you find this person. Ken is a very troubled man. You need to be careful. Here." The man gives Will a gun. "Here. You'll need this."

"Umm... no it's fine. I don't have a license to carry that."

"Well then take any weapon you can find if you want to get that woman of yours."

"We'll be sure to remember that." Carl said. "We best be going now. Thank you."

With that, they left heading to find Emma and Ken.


Emma woke up from the sound of water. She looked up to find Ken.

"Come here." Ken grabbed her by the hair. He pushed her to the bathtub and turned on the faucet. He rinsed her hair thoroughly and pulled out a box. It was hair coloring. He started to dye her hair and after 15 minutes he was done.

"Don't touch your hair! You have to leave it for an additional 10 minutes!" Ken grunted.

"Why are you even coloring my hair?" Emma asked.

"We're going out and I don't want you to be easily recognized. Now stop yapping and shut your mouth!"

Emma sat quickly. The ten minutes felt like hours. That's what you get when you have absolutely nothing to do. Ken came back and she ran to the bathtub before him, not wanting to get her hair pulled again. Ken washed her hair and when he was done, she looked at the mirror. Her hair was black. It was velvet black. She hadn't looked at herself on the mirror for a long time. She was much skinnier. She had bruises and cuts on her face. Her eyes didn't hold that affectionate spark to it anymore. It had no emotion. Her face had no emotion. Her eyes were fierce but lifeless.

"Stop standing around! I'm doing you a favor here. You get to go outside!" Ken said sarcastically.

Emma got outside. She loved the cool breeze. It felt totally different out here. But her face fell. This wouldn't last forever. She was coming back in that stupid house any second. She got in his car and he drove. At last, Ken stopped at a supermarket.


"Dude I'm hungry." Carl whined.

"You've been saying that for the last ten minutes." Will said.

"Because I am!"

"Look! There's a supermarket. We'll stop there and pick up something from the deli section. Happy?"

"Yes! That's much better!" Carl said triumphantly.

"Thank god that man allowed us to use his car." Will said.

Will pulled in the parking lot of the supermarket. "Come on! We got to hurry!"

They entered in and warm bread filled the air. Will's stomach grumbled and he just realized how hungry he was. They searched for the deli section and when they looked to their left, there it was. They made their way to there.

"What do you want? Pick quickly!" Will said. Moments later, Will picked a roast beef sandwich as Carl did the same. While they were waiting for them, a lady approached the deli counter as well.


Emma and Ken approached the doors of the supermarket. As they got inside, Ken told her to pick some French bread and roast beef.

"I'll be watching you! Remember, if you run away. I'll be right behind you. You're not going to escape!" Ken sneered.

"Yeah.. yeah." Emma said as she rolled her eyes.

Ken and Emma headed to the opposite directions. As Emma walked, she felt Ken's burning eyes watching her but she didn't look back. She saw the deli counter and stepped forward. "Excuse me!"

The lady approached her and asked what she wanted. She ordered some French bread and a pound of roast beef. She felt the man staring at her. The man kept staring at her and suddenly she couldn't take it any longer. "WHAT?"


The lady that approached the counter seemed very demanding. She ordered some French beef and some roast beef. He couldn't help but stare at her though. She looked oddly familiar but she wouldn't look at him. Just then, she yelled, "WHAT?" at him.

He should have been annoyed but as he stared at her, he couldn't. She looked a lot like Emma. However this woman had dark hair. She looked dead. She was pale and had lots of bruises and cuts on her body. He had to know though. He looked at Carl. He had the same shocked expression on his face. Carl looked at him and they both knew.


When she looked at him, the man looked a lot like Will Schuester. Just remembering him, made her heart ache. She saw another man behind him and that looked oddly like Carl Howell. She laughed at herself. She must have been going crazy! She's been seeing things. She was delusional. The man opened his mouth.

"Will Schuester! Your food is ready!" the lady behind the counter said.

Emma looked at him. Oh my god it was Will. He couldn't see her like this. He didn't want him to get hurt anymore. Ken will only make things worse and she didn't want anyone to suffer. She was fine suffering by herself. Or that's at least what she told herself.


When the lady said my name, the woman looked up in shock. 'She knows me!' he thought. Will grabbed his stuff and the lady next to me had her back turned to me.

"Emma... Emma. Is that you?" He asked with so much hopefulness.

She heard him say her name. He said it again. He said it with so much hopefulness and love that she had to turn to him. His face lit up.

"Emma! It is you!" Will grabbed her and hugged her.

Will released her finally and really looked at her. "My god Emma! What happened? Did Ken hurt you?

Emma ignored the question. "Will! You need to get out of here! He can't see you with me. He'll only hurt you. I don't want you suffering with me. I've already suffered a lot. So it doesn't matter anymore for me. Please just go!"

"No please. I need you! I love you." Will pleaded.

Emma looked at him. "Love? What is love? I don't know anymore. I've lost the feeling. Actually, I've lost all feelings." Emma laughed. "Just go please."

Will was shocked. His Emma was lifeless. She lost hope. "Emma please. Please!"

Emma looked into his eyes. She saw love, hurt, passion, but mostly love. A thing that she hasn't seen in a very long time. It felt unnatural to her. But she remembered all the things that Will and her has done. She was about to reply when she heard a voice said, "Emma?"

So yeah. End of Chapter 10. Well at least Will found Emma. Please Review. Enjoyed the reviews from last time!
