「9」 Tell Us

03/02/21
I would like to take the time to appreciate @kiki_iik and @ChockyPocky_chan because I now have motivation to write! So thank you so much!💖💖💖

"So, what is it t-that you want to talk about..?" Emma asks with a bead of sweat running down her face.

Norman had a nervous expression plastered onto his face, and Ray took note of this.

"Why are you nervous? You know we don't bite." He said with a smirk, making Emma and Norman shiver.

"We just want answers, you've both been acting a little strange since that night." I spoke up, finally contributing to the conversation.

There was a moment of silence before the white haired boy began to explain.

"Conny wasn't actually adopted. She's dead....and those things..they're going to eat her."

"Things? What do you mean Norman?" This was perfect, and Ray knew it too. Get them to tell us about the demons and the plan will finally begin.

There was another moment of silence before Emma spoke.

"D-demons..." She muttered as she stared at the ground. Her eyes went dull, and color drained from her face. Ray and I knew that the event really left a mark in Emma's kind heart.

"Demons? Huh...explains the gate I guess." Ray subconsciously answered with his arms crossed. I responded with a nod.

"So, you two, let's escape. All of us, we can flee to the real world." All three of my friends turned their heads in my direction and smiled.

"Yeah, let's get out of here and live as humans, not food!" Norman declared with the biggest grin on his face.

"Mhm! We'll take our family with us, escape this place, and live freely!" Emma's eyes and face finally regained its usual bright glow.

"Chouchou and I will devise a plan, so for now both of you should focus on gathering intel. Our plan will be based on whatever you give us. We trust you, so please don't screw this up." Ray says to Norman and Emma, to which they both agree to and leave the river.

We watched the two figures disappear into the house and we finally spoke.

"We can't make any moves yet, since we have no new intel." The bed headed boy says.

"A-ah yeah...I agree.."

"You're stuttering, what are you hiding?" Ray insisted. It's scary when he insists because he gives me this serious glare. It's not very pretty.

"Uh well, I may have already devised a plan. About one year ago, when you first told me about the demons and the truth. I changed a few aspects of it as we went along."

Ray was shocked that you thought about this a whole year ago. That's enough time to create a plan without any holes, and enough time to consider every single possibility.

"Why didn't you tell me?! We could have figured this out together!" He yelled, making me flinch.

"I-I'm..sorry" I whispered into the air.

An important realization hit Ray, and the scent of guilt grew stronger with every passing second.

"I didn't mean to yell-" I cut him off.

"It's okay, it's just that this plan requires a sacrifice. It was the only way I could think of that could allow everyone to escape."

He froze and allowed that to sink in.

"Sacrifice..?" He muttered.

"Yeah, I'm-" This time, Ray cut me off.

"You intend to be the sacrifice, right." His voice was stern and strong. I could tell that if I told him the truth, he'd never forgive me.

So, in the most convincing voice I replied, "No, in fact, even a distraction could suffice. Sacrifice was a little much, sorry!" I smile and scratched my head.

"I don't want a sacrifice." His soft voice filled the air.

"Huh?"

"Because this is your plan, you intend to be the sacrifice. I don't want to lose you, I never want to say goodbye. Chouchou, please don't ever leave me."

I just burned my wrist and I'm now in pain :D
