[The fact that Chris isn't flinching away from her as he makes his promise counts for more than she'll let him in on. He's almost as serious as when he joined Ashley and Mike in trying to throw her right into danger, his voice just as unshaking, his face just as stony. It's in his eyes that Emily sees the difference, sees a sort of calm resignation that confirms how sorry he really is.
He'd fucking better be.]
Good.
[She steps back, gaze lingering on his a moment or two longer before she looks around at the room they're in. Now that she's said her piece to Chris, the reality of this place starts to sink in. Everything about it is off somehow. It makes her miss home, her bedroom with all her things, her parents' house, the view from the balcony.
God, she wishes Matt were here. The last thing she wants is to sit around here doing nothing with only Chris for company. He'll probably mope and sulk around her for the next few days until he gets the fuck over being told what's what, and that'll just be boring. And as much as she has to yell at Ash and Josh too, she doesn't need to do that right now. Her rage will hold, that much she's sure of. It's the prospect of being here for however long that's got her thinking of what to do.
Still, even if she won't be seeing them for a while, she should find out where the others are, and learn what she can about this place and start planning for the next few days. At least there's shelter, and presumably food and water if they've been here so long already. God, what the hell is her life that all this crazy shit keeps happening?]
Where are the others? What's the long version of the crazy story behind this place?
[He can put off answering the first question if he wants, but she'll keep coming back to it until he tells her. If they happen to come back to the house before that, then lucky him.]
