All Chapters of Little Emily: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Kelsey’s RegretKelsey’s fists slammed into the punching bag, each hit reverberating through the gym. His muscles burned with the effort, sweat dripping from his forehead, but he didn’t slow down. Each punch was fueled by a tempest of anger, regret, and self-loathing. The gym was nearly empty, the steady thud of his punches the only sound echoing in the vast space. He tried to focus on the rhythmic beat of his strikes, but his mind refused to let go of the past two months.Two months since Emily had disappeared. Two months of endless searching, sleepless nights, and gnawing guilt. Kelsey had thought he could handle the consequences of his actions, but he was wrong. He couldn’t escape the regret that haunted him every moment of the day.He landed a particularly vicious punch, causing the bag to swing wildly. He had never liked Emily. From the day she was born, he resented her. The way their parents doted on her, the way she seemed to effortlessly attract friends and attention—it all g

I need votes please 🙏 Kamsy's point of view;Kamsy couldn't get over the almost kiss he and Emily shared. That night in the garden, her touch, her scent, the way her eyes had looked at him—it all haunted him. He spent the rest of the night tossing and turning, his mind clouded with thoughts of her, unable to shake the feeling of her presence. The more he tried to push it away, the stronger the desire grew. He knew she had been avoiding him since that night, but he couldn’t stay away.The next afternoon, as soon as he knew she was back from school, Kamsy made his way to her room. He stood outside her door for a moment, his heart pounding in his chest. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself, and then knocked softly.“Emily, it’s Kamsy. Can I come in?”There was a moment of silence before he heard her soft reply, “Yes, come in.”He opened the door and stepped inside. Emily was sitting at her desk, her back to him. She turned slowly, her eyes widening slightly as she saw him. T

Vote please 🙏 Emily's CuriosityThe day at school was as routine as ever, but Emily’s thoughts were anything but calm. The kiss with Kamsy lingered in her mind, making it difficult to focus on her classes. She found herself glancing out the window, lost in a whirlwind of emotions, but somehow, she managed to make it through the day.After the final bell rang, Emily found herself walking with Aaron toward the school gates. They chatted about their classes and homework, the normalcy of it all a welcome distraction. As they passed a group of students, snippets of an intriguing conversation caught Emily's attention.“...fighting match tonight...”“...Jake's going to win for sure...”“...you have to wear a mask, all in black...”Emily furrowed her brow and turned to Aaron. “What are they talking about?”Aaron glanced at the group and then back at Emily, a grin spreading across his face. “Oh, that. It’s an underground fighting match. Happens every so often. The fighters wear masks, so no

A New Training DayEmily was in a deep sleep, her dreams a tangled web of the night's events at the underground match. The adrenaline had finally worn off, leaving her exhausted. But her rest was short-lived. She was jolted awake by the shrill sound of a whistle, loud and piercing. She screamed, sitting up straight in bed, her heart racing. Kamsy's quiet laughter filled the room. "Let's start training, Emily. Wake up," he said loudly, his voice carrying a mix of amusement and urgency.As her eyes adjusted to the morning light streaming in through the curtains, she saw Kamsy standing by her bed, and beside him, his father, Inishola, with the whistle still in his hand."Good morning, Emily," Inishola said, his tone firm. "Today, you won't be going to school. Your training is more important."Emily rubbed her eyes, still trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. "Training? What kind of training?"Kamsy stepped forward, a serious expression on his face. "Father wanted to make sure you'

A Night in the GardenEmily lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Sleep eluded her, as it often did when her thoughts drifted to her brothers. It had been months since she had seen them, and the ache in her heart hadn't lessened. She wondered how they were coping, if they missed her as much as she missed them.With a sigh, she threw off the covers and slipped into her slippers. The night was cold, but she felt the need to escape the confines of her room. Wrapping herself in a thick sweater, she quietly opened her door and tiptoed down the hallway, making her way outside.The garden was her refuge, a place where she could find solace. The moonlight bathed the flowers in a soft, ethereal glow, and the air was crisp and refreshing. She walked along the familiar path to her favorite spot, a secluded bench surrounded by blooming roses.To her surprise, she found Kamsy already there, sitting quietly with his head bowed. He looked up as she approached, and a smile spread across his face."Cou
