was until that they pushed the door wider when they noticed a few scratch marks on the walls.

"Emery..." Selena had trailed off in horror and disbelief as she looked at her surroundings. The sheets looked torn, and a couple of dressers and cabinets were on the floor. It was evident that Emery had been trying to find her way out of the room, but she had failed.

"Let me out," Emery practically growled as she faced everyone with a glare.

"You know we can't let you do that," Erick replied, and Emery's form tensed.

"Why? I know I'm not wanted here."

"Emery--" Justin started, but he was cut off.

"I know you all want to kill me, but I can make a promise. I can swear that you won't ever see me again."

"Emery--"

"I'll disappear for good!" Emery added with an uncertain smile.

There was a moment of silence as everyone stared at her in shocked disbelief.

"How can you act like this?" Zane broke the silence.

"Like what?" Emery questioned him. He chose to glare at her.

"Like nothing had happened?"

"Gee! As far as I know, it doesn't concern you."

"It concerns me because I was the one who found you when you were close to killing yourself!" Zane boomed, and Emery flinched in surprise. "I saw the blood in the tub, Emery. It doesn't take a genius to know that you cut yourself."

"Let me go," Emery demanded as tears started to form in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Emery, but we can't," stated Selena.

"Let me go!" Emery yelled as she tried to throw them out of the room with her powers, but nothing happened. Tears of frustration soon filled her eyes.

They had disabled her powers.

"Emery, we are not going to kill you," Erick stated with as much gentleness as he could summon. "We are all worried about you."

"Erick--"

"You need help, Emery," Justin cut her off. "We all care about you and want the best for you."

"Then let me leave," Emery begged in her voice.

"I'm sorry, Emery, but it is for your own good."

 As soon as those words left Erick's lips, four paramedics dressed in white entered the room. They had entered with a gurney.

"Guys?" Emery questioned with a panicked look as she stared at the strangers in the room.

"Relax, Emery. They just want to take you to the hospital--"

"Hospital? I'm not sick!" Emery cut Elizabeth off. "Let me go!"

Emery went to run out of the room, but two sets of hands grabbed her. She released a startled cry as two paramedics went to stand in front of her.

"Be gentle with her!" Zane spat. Emery was momentarily confused by what was happening. She soon felt a sting on her left shoulder. She turned, noticing there was a syringe delivering a drug in her system.

"What have you--" Emery cut herself off when she suddenly felt woozy. A paramedic was quick to catch her unsteady form. Another one joined him to help carry her form and place her on the gurney.

About a minute later, Emery was fast asleep. Zane, the Queen's family, Selena and the paramedics were seen walking out of the castle.

"I'm sorry, Emery," Zane whispered as he looked down at the girl on the gurney. He took a brief glance at his surroundings before looking down at her. "You may hate me for this, but you should understand that you need this. I believe you will get better, and then maybe, everything will be okay. Things will be okay for you again."

He caressed her cheek with the back of his hand. "Maybe things will turn out well for us."
