Updated About
//I’ve been meaning to update Em’s about but haven’t had a chance. What’s on her page is no longer her story. At the same time I want to make sure I get all the details. With that being said I’m going to start with some updated headcanons here and then can use that to update the page. It’s under a read more because her life is sad and tragic.
Note: Em has a photographic memory, is a speed reader and can speak over 20 languages that she learned from using the library.
1. Em is the third child of Chet and Dusty Fleming, seven years younger than her twin brothers Carter and Bennett. (There was a child in between but since it was a boy Dusty made sure the baby didn’t come to term. Em does not know this).
2. Em was four years old when Chet started molesting her, and six the first time he raped her.
3. After being molested by Chet she told her mother. Dusty’s response was to laugh and tell the young Emery that of course he did, “that’s what you’re made for, something to fuck. It’s all you’re good for.” Em still believes that, though she tries not too.
4. Em doesn’t cry, hasn’t cried since she was eight. Chet would beat her if she did, and she quickly learned not to cry. (It greatly impressed Clifton during their first time).
5. Chet used to whisper Emery into her ear when he raped her, which is why she goes by Em (a nickname from Zaniah), though in some verses she can stand being called Emery depending on the person.
6. Her middle name is Elizabeth, her father named her.
7. Chet quickly learned how much Em and Carter cared about each other and he would pit them against each other, often threatening the life of the other to get compliance. His favorite would be to handcuff Carter to a long bench in his room (he and Dusty didn’t share a room), while he locked Em in a box that slid under the bed, because of this she is terrified of small spaces.. (Bennett was molested by Dusty and he was protected from Chet, not allowed to touch him).
8. To comfort Em her brothers would make her grilled cheese and watch Peter Pan and/or Dumbo with her. They wore out both VHS tapes with watching, and it’s why she has tattoos for both movie. On a side note, she’s never seen the end of Peter Pan, she always fell asleep, still does.
9. Em does not cook, she probably could but she gets bored. The ongoing joke is that she burned water trying to make spaghetti, and therefore doesn’t even try.
10. At the age of ten she got her period for the first time. Carter and Bennett panicked and finally were able to tell the school nurse.
11. All three children were removed from the home, and a rape kit was done on Em. The kit would prove Chet had raped his child.
12. The rape kit disappeared thanks to the family court judge, Clifton Wallace that presided over the case. He became obsessed with Em and paid Chet and Dusty off to never seek custody of their child, in exchange the only charges they faced was neglect.
13. Clifton placed Em in a group home had control over of and began visiting her weekly, essentially picking up where he father left off. Though he didn’t know, the man that ran the group home also assaulted Em. Clifton never saw Em as a child, and complimented on how “well-trained,” she was.
14. At a young age she started using drugs that she was able to get from the other kids in the group home. Her drug of choice is cocaine.
15. This went on for five years, until at 15 she found out she was pregnant. Running away from the group home she went to her best friend Zaniah, (who’s she’s known since second grade), and pooling money with Zee’s brother Brett she had an abortion. Em got sick and never returned to the group home.
16. She’s avoided Clifton ever since, though in some verses they meet up again. He does not know she had abortion or that she was even pregnant.
17. To pay her way Em started prostituting at the age of 15 and has been doing it ever since.
18. Despite her experiences she loves sex and will often work beyond what she needs to make the rent just to keep having it.
19. Em did not finish high school, but in some verses got her GED and in other’s sometimes more. School bored her because of her abilities.
20. Em has a full back tattoo to cover scars from her dad, and has a few tattoos for her friendship with Zee. She also has 21 piercings and clicks her tongue ring when nervous. (Her piercings are 7 in each ear, two in her nose, one in her tongue, each nipple, her belly button and her clit).
