(I'm still wondering if I should publish it now or just wait for tomorrow but yeah.. 😂 I'll just publish this now.)

Third Person's Point of View

You were walking at the hallway and decided to stop at Isabella's office where you heard some mumbled noises.

"What work was I called in for?"

"They found out the secret, " you heard what Isabella said, you put your ears closer to the door and eavesdrop.

"They also saw the package in the truck."

" Then in accordance with the rules, we must find them and ship them imm–" your eyes widen when you heard the steps getting closer so you quickly distanced yourself,

"Wait, " you sighed and brought your ears closer, "It's fine, I already have an idea of who the targets are."

"And that is.."

"Two of the oldest children. We just have to make sure they don't escape before shipment. My children are special, and this is beneficial for the plant."

"So you're not reporting it?"

"No, I will take care of the targets in a proper manner. You are a guard, you don't need to think, just watch the children."

"I am the Mom of this house, and you are my assistant.. Understand, Sister Krone?"

"Yes, Ma'am Isabella, "

You stood up straight and started walking away, 'Mama asked us, the eldest, to clean that room for Sister Krone. '

You glanced at the room's door and stopped walking, 'And Mama purposely put Sister Krone's in that room, '

You saw Anna walking, you waved at her and smiled.

«•»

As you were sweeping the floor, you looked around the area and saw Krone playing with the little kids.

You walked closer to them while sweeping the floor, causing Krone to notice you.

"Oh~ (Y/n)! Right? " she said and put the children, she is holding, down. You looked up and wave at her and smiled.

"I heard that you get perfect scores on the test along with the three? " she stated, you acted surprised and embarrassed as you nodded your head.

"Don't be shy! You know, that's wonderful! " she said and come closer to you.

"But... " she lowered her voice and leveled to your height, "Is it true? That you can't speak? "

Krone noticed that your mood got down,  you looked at the ground and hold the broom tightly, "Sorry about that! I didn't know that it's a sensitive topic for you.. "

The other kids get closer to you and stared at you, "Are you okay? Sister (Y/n)?" Phil asked and hugged you, you nodded your head and smiled at him.

"A-ah.. Sorry again, (Y/n). I hope we can get along.. " Krone said and set your hair, that covering your face, aside.

You looked straight at Krone's eyes and smiled, you raised your two hands and hugged her softly.

"I want a hug too Sister Krone! "
"Me too! Me too! "
"Group hug!! "

As the other kids joined your hug, you glanced at Ray and Norman, who's washing the dishes, you narrowed your eyes and smiled slyly...

'Sister Krone... Don't take me for a fool. '

«•»

"Oh? " Isabella approaches the two of you and said, "You two are reading on your own again, "

You looked up and saw Isabella and Krone, "Where's everyone else? "

"I dunno, " Ray said, Isabella then looked at you, you shrugged your shoulders and pointed the forest.

"Maybe they are playing tag in the forest, " Ray said that satisfy Isabella and leave the two of you.

"(Y/n), " Ray whispered, "Looked at the book, I'll pretend to read it. "

You closed the book you are holding and looked, at the book he had, over his shoulders, then he started speaking softly, "Did you remember what happened yesterday? "

You nodded your head slightly, "You need to be calm, alright? " again, you nodded your head.

"Demons.. Farms.. And us being their food, do you think that it is true?" he suddenly asked, without changing his expression nor looking at you. You nodded your head in response.

"Yes? You believed it? You're not surprised at all? " he asked, turning the page of the book.

You grabbed your notebook and started writing different words from the different page and pointed it.

[ Know ]
[ Before ]

"You already know it even before? " he asked then you nodded your head, "How? "

[ Darkness ]
[ Hear ]
[ 2 ]

You wrote, purposely.

"You heard it at the night when Emma and Norman go? " you stopped for a moment and nod.

"Hah.. " Ray smiled and closed his book, sticking his thumb in the page, "Wow.. You already knew a lot, " he whispered.

You smiled at him and looked at your notebook.

"For now, we need to teach those kids to escape from this place.. " he said and rest his back on the tree..

"Hmm.. " you nodded your head and sighed.

"I was caught!!! "
"Yeah me too! "
"That's too bad, I'm doing good til' just now! "

You glanced at the kids walking towards the house, 'I need to teach them huh.. '

'But how..?' you closed your eyes and rest your back at the tree,

'Sister Krone will more likely peek at my notebook..' you opened your right eye and looked at Krone, 'This is bad... '

«•»

You get back in the house to use the bathroom and was about to join Ray with Thoma and the other kids when you saw Krone suddenly joined them.

You stopped your tracks near them and listened to their conversation..

"Playing tag looks like fun, I want to get along with everyone. So let's play tag. " Krone said, "The match' time limit will be 20 minutes. I'll be the 'It', everyone try to run away from me. "

«•»

You walked casually deep into the forest, you saw the others making traps and such.

You smirked and held your hand from behind your back, stepping at the dirt, leaving your footprints on the dirt purposely.

You stopped on a big tree in front of you, you leisurely sat behind it and started drawing faces of the family in a page, including Isabella and Krone.

"I'll have to get serious! "

You heard from a distance, you smirked and continue drawing, not minding if Krone will find you or not.

If she won't follow the trails you put, she will likely not find you, unless she saw you by chance, because those trails aren't fake.

'Well, whatever, '

You thought, you started drawing Ray's face after finishing Emma's. You smiled while shading his hair, 'Emo hair.. '

You giggled and continue, after a few seconds, someone tapped your shoulder. You looked above and saw Krone.

"You purposely leave those trails? " you didn't answer back at Krone and smiled, showing her your drawing, where she also saw her face and the other kids.

"Oh... You didn't want to play? " you nodded your head and pointed the heart from the middle of the paper.

"You're so sweet, (Y/n)!" she said, "Well, too bad, I caught you first because of your giggles. Well! Goodbye, I need to find the other kids! "

"Next time, don't let me caught you, alright? " she said while walking away, you nodded your head.

You waved goodbye and stood up, dusting off your skirt and holding your notebook and pen. She started putting some leaves with different shapes.

'You'll never catch me next time, Sister Krone. '

You looked up and saw Ray and Norman hiding above. You smirked at them, making Norman confused and Ray explaining it to Norman.

After that, you turn around brightly with a smile in your face and walk where Krone goes, following her tracks.

You hummed and saw her hugging the kids that she caught.

"Too bad, caught you! "

You stay put behind the bushes and watched. After that, you followed her again silently when she get out of that place and started walking away.

You took a glance and saw Norman, Ray, and Emma holding the leaves while talking.

You picked up a little rock and threw it at them, when the three looked at your direction, you faced them and smiled.

You stick out your tongue a little to them and make a peace sign to your hand, after that you opened a page from your notebook with the already written word in a big size, enough for them to see.

[ FOLLOWING ]

You saluted and grinned as you turn around and run to follow Krone.

«•»

"Emma!!!" the two kids shouted, Emma suddenly run towards the two and carry them in her arms.

"Cover your mouth," Emma said, the two did as they are told as Emma run away from Krone.

"Jump~!"

Krone stopped when she didn't saw Emma after they jump.

"Running while carrying two kids, you must be tired, Emma. "

(Y/n) narrowed her eyes and watched from afar, enough for her to hear what she is saying.

"You won't be able to move unless you rest. "

She continued, "Did you know? Norman's weakness is physical strength. I heard he was feeble when he was younger"

(Y/n) moved closer, jumping from the rocks and hiding behind the big one.

"Ray's weakness is that he's a little quick to give up. He makes a decision fast but abandons them just as quickly. "

"(Y/n)'s weakness is that she's doesn't care about something she doesn't like and will not give a thing about it, and just observe things as it is! Well, that's still unclear! " (Y/n) glared at her and smirk...

"And you Emma!" Krone stopped and turned around, you hid a bit further and peek at them, "Your weakness is your naiveté. "

"Like how naive you are by carrying others when you're being chased. Just give up and come on out! " Krone said and walk, "I won't do you wrong. Listen,  Emma. If you saw the harvest that day... "

She suddenly walks towards Emma's hiding spot, "Then I'm on your side, "

"Found you, "

«•»

After Krone caught Emma and the two kids, she walked away and started running again.

'Luckily, I have rested already.. '

You thought and started running fast, you saw Krone chasing Norman.

You run and jumped on the rocks, then hide from the trees as soon as you landed on the ground, keeping a distance from her. You heard her stated, "So these are the perfect scorers of this place. "

You keep a close eye to her for a few moment until you saw Ray approaching her,

"Time's up, "

With that, Krone looked at Ray and the three, Krone, Ray and Norman, started leaving the place.

Ray glance at you as you hid from the trees, you gestured okay (👌) at him and looked at Krone.

If she sees you now, she'll be suspicious, especially when she talked about the harvest 'thing'.

After reaching the house, you distanced your self away from them, making a round, making them see that you came from a different direction.

"(Y/n)?" Norman called out, you looked at their direction and wave, then showed him your notebook.

[ CONGRATS TO YOU TWO! ]

"They did it! "

You run towards the two and patted their back with force,

"Oioi! "

Again, you showed the two your notebook with the congrats writing.

"Haha, thank you, (Y/n)," Norman said, you smiled at him and Ray then turn your head at Emma's direction but looking at Krone

"Norman, Ray, Emma and... "

You saw her looked at Emma's direction so you looked at the two, then to Gilda, where Krone's eyes are focusing.

'So.. She didn't suspect me but Gilda?'

You step forward and walked towards Emma, you smiled at her then looked at Gilda.

'This girl... '

You turn around and looked at Ray, 'Hmm.. '

«•»

"That means... "

"Yeah, there's probably–"

"–already a different person watching.  Most likely among the kids. "

"There's a traitor, "

You heard the bell rang from the second floor, You fixed your posture from crossed arms and leaning at the wall to standing up straight.

You saw the other kids walking so you walk towards them and carried a child.

"Hah... Finally.. "
"I'm hungry! "
"Me too! "

You saw Ray, Norman, and Emma get out of the room, Emma stared at the kids that she passes by with her eyes widen.

You glanced at Isabella who's staring at Emma's expression with a smile on her face and Krone who's staring at the other child.

You put the child down and looked at Ray. He noticed it and looked at your eyes.

The two of you didn't break your stare. You looked at him intently, after a few seconds, you smiled at him and stuck your tongue out.

'Ray... '
