YOUR POV:

My eyes fluttered open to see a empty colorful town.I sat up and looked around"Emma...? Ray...?" Silence. I stood up in a panic"what h*ll?" I muttered to myself. "Where am I?" The town was in a stand still,no birds were chirping or anything,just dead silence. I didn't have my bag with me and silently cursed at myself. "I knew I shouldn't have dropped it on the ground when we were resting..."I sighed and slapped my face harshly"idiot!" My cheeks stung but I only ignored the pain. "So,what happened?...I remember Ray calling out to Emma and I,and then I ended up here. So I guess I was taken." I reached my hand down to my boot and noticed my knife still in it,my hand moved to my jacket pocket and I felt the pen. I should've given the pen back to Emma...I shook my head and decided to explore the town.

Empty houses and shops were surrounding me. "It's so quiet...I don't like it." I shivered slightly"maybe there's someone around here." The more I explored the more uncomfortable I got.

I saw someone with short violet hair running away from me. "Ah! Hey! Wait!" I called rushing after them. They didn't seem to listen and got lost from me. "Sh*t." I muttered to myself. I glanced around"I wonder if this is Goldy Pond,I mean that guy said it was dangerous. Yet...it doesn't seem like it." I continued to walk around the bright place"this place hurts my eyes." I had finally found a sign that read 'rules'.

"Rules? Music,monsters and survive?" That's when I heard loud music blasting throughout the town. "Ah..."I let out as I brought my hands towards my ears"the monsters are coming." I jumped and lowered my hands to see the girl from before"you're from..."I trailed off"you better hide." I gave her a confused look"where are we?" I asked"Goldy Pond,the demons secret hunting reserve." My eyes widened"so this is another plantation?" Her eyes narrow slightly"so you know about the plantations and them,you're not like the others. This isn't a farm,this is a secret garden or rather the private property of the aristocrat called Lord Baryon. You,me and all the other kids,we're only alive because of them." The girl in front of me was pale and had violet eyes. "The farms don't know about this place,it's a hidden place."

"So there are others." I comment as she nods"they are all newbies. Once a month they replace all those who've been eaten. They replace them with farm kids,they use some special privilege and use it to ship living cattle." She says"the others don't know?" She shakes her head"they think they were fortunate to be born in a happy orphanage,that they were chosen to be in a good home then a monster kidnaps them and keeps them here to be terrorized."

"So where to?" I ask curiously"there's some people I'd like you to meet." Screams rang through the town,blood curdling at that. "What the h*ll was that?!" She crosses her arms"other people. Let them die though." I shake my head and start to run in that direction"hey!" She scream behind me. I ran into the forest to see three kids,a girl and two boys.

The girl was in front of the smaller injured boy,she was clearly trying to protect him. The other was behind a tree,shaking in fear. "Hey,I'm borrowing that." I said gesturing to the axe,his eyes widened as I took it forcibly it and threw it at the demon(though it hit no where near the demon cuz I'm quite weak).

"Come on!" I screamed as we ran back towards the town yet we were still in the woods. "Are you an idiot?!" The pixie haired girl screams"why did you help them?! I told you to leave them! Are you stupid?!" I rolled my eyes"ok Ray,calm down." I muttered"you even had to go and get the worse of them to!" She growls"that's no laughing matter,the one with the hat-"

"Do you know how many demons and humans there are?" I asked her"demons?" I shake my head"monsters." I correct"oh,uh about five and then somewhere around 50." She answers"everyday?" She shakes her head"every three days. Whatever you're thinking though,we don't have time to fool around. We should really get away from here and hide. Even if they aren't tracking us right now,they will be soon."

"Go...!"I turn to see the smaller injured boy,he was clasping his arm in pain. "We can deal with this...a-and thank you...you two...you really risked your lives for us. I can run just fine already. I have to rest for a little before I can though." I nod"then we'll split up." I conclude"and hopefully the de-monster will go after me." The girl the speaks up"where to? You're still bleeding." She hums"we'll split up and you can head back towards the town and hide. I bought us some time." She nods"try to not leave any tracks behind,they'll find you quicker. But if something bad happens,tell them to come to me before doing so." They gave a confused look"all you need to tell them is 'she's from Grace Field' and they'll immediately know."

They nod"also,before we dip,who're ya'll?" I ask"Theo." The small boy says"Monica." The pony tail girl says"Jake." The taller one admits"cool,name's Y/N." I turn to the other girl who was looking the other way with her arms crossed. "We should get going,see ya!" I then turn and run off with the pixie cut girl behind me. I can't die here,I have to make it out alive for Ray and the others!

"Why'd you save them?" She asks"I don't want anyone else dying on me,I might not know who they are but that doesn't mean they deserve to die. If I were you though...I'd get away from me." She smirks"as if I'd let myself get killed. The most important thing right now is time. If you manage to stay hidden until the music comes back,you're safe." Ok Y/N,Emma and Ray aren't here so you need to think like they would...Ray would look for tracks.

I stopped running and noticed demon tracks and human tracks. "What are you doing?" She asks"the demons aren't covering up their tracks. They clearly don't care. So,we need to make sure everyone is as safe as possible and help those who are in need." I tell her"you're to soft." I give a soft smile"I know."

"How about this,if something happens-"I glance to her"I'm taking you to a safe place." I nod"deal."
