Chapter 2

[-Help from the enemy-]

ʏ/ɴ's ᴘᴏᴠ

After thirty minutes of talking about a good escape plan, we all went to our beds.

I will not lie. I'm afraid.

I'm afraid something won't work out and we'll be killed sooner for trying to escape.
I mean, maybe Takuya heard the wrong thing and no one will be here in two days.

But...what if we escape...?

After all, we know nothing about the outside world. We've been locked up since birth. The only place outside is the garden of the 'farm'
I wonder how it is outside...
I'm not innocent... I know about the awful things that are waiting for us...After all, I know that I can beat anyone who wants to hurt me and my friends.

It's afternoon, so it's time to clean up. Just like every day, after hearing the bell, everyone started cleaning the 'farm'.

Y/N started to wash all clothes and sheets as always. Now she hung them so that they would dry before evening. She was hanging her own sheets. At some point, she stopped in her action. 'These sheets could be useful for storing knives'.

Yeah...

The previous night, everyone agreed that they would need knives to survive.

Before doing anything, she looked around the garden to see if there was anyone to disturb her.
'Perfect' she thought.
Then she took her sheets and started walking towards the bedroom window where she was sleeping. This was the first time she was grateful to have a bed by the window.
She knew no one was in the bedroom because until the moon shone in the sky no one was allowed to enter their bedrooms. She threw them out the window, and the sheets landed on the floor near her bed.
'Now I just need to make sure to be the first in the bedroom'.
Then she went back to hanging clothes and sheets.

Now it's time for dinner. And of course Y/N prepares it for everyone. This was the last chance for her to take the knife with her. She started looking for tape and cloth to tie the knives to so they wouldn't hurt her skin when she hid them under her skirt.

"What are you doing...?"

Y/N felt her heart beat faster, she began to sweat, and she turned pale. She slowly started to turn her head and saw...

.

.

.

...Junko.The youngest child on the 'farm'. She only got here two days ago, so she doesn't know what might be waiting for her yet.
"You know...Mom asked me to bring it to her so I'm wrapping the knife in a cloth so I won't hurt myself" Y/N explained to a five-year-old girl.

Mom, Y/N meant 'nice lady'.

Why?

Because since Y/N started talking, she called her 'mom' like all the other children who were close to her age. When the 'nice lady' took her from the orphanage to the 'farm', she stopped talking like that. Y/N knows that Junko still calls 'nice lady' as mom, so that's why she decided to call her that.
"Oh...okay" She said and then cheerfully left the kitchen. Y/N breathed a sigh of relief. She carefully hid the knife under her skirt so as not to cut her belly and she went back to making dinner for everyone.

Today it's my turn to patrol the 'farm'. Luckily for me, no one found out that my wet sheets were in the bedroom. And now it's under my bed. I hope the pages of my diary have not got wet. While everyone was wearing their pajamas, I took the candle and started walking towards the door. Once everyone was in bed, I turned off the light and screamed: "Do not talk! Sleep! As if something was happening, you must ring the bell!". Then I left the room.

I've been walking like this for ten minutes. I'm trying to keep me from falling asleep. But it's really hard because my eyes want to close themselves. I felt a hand on my shoulder. And then a hand on my mouth. "Ah-" I didn't have time to scream because this person started dragging me to one of the rooms. It was a nicely decorated room but it was definitely none of the rooms children were allowed to enter. Wait...

This may be a 'nice lady' room.

I turned and looked into the eyes of the "nice lady" who took care of me since I was born. And the person I used to call 'mama'. "Look, I know you're probably mad at me for everything I've done to you, but you need to listen to me now" She began to speak "Tomorrow a demon will come to eat me, but I don't think I'll be the only one he will eat. He'll want to eat all the kids" I looked at her confused. Demon? What is it anyway? She continued to speak: "You're probably wondering now why I'm telling you all this, right? Because you have potential. The potential to be something important in this brutal world. But you need help, and I will give you that help. But I need to know if you trust me?" Trust her? What is she even talking about? Should I trust her? Screw it! I have to get out of here and I'll do whatever I can to make it happen. "Okay, I trust you..." I said. "Good, now listen".

⎯⎯

"Say what!?"

"Quietly! We can't wake anyone up!"

We're all in the laundry room again. I told them what I found out from the 'nice lady'. "So, are you saying the "nice lady" told you about a demon that will want to eat us all tomorrow, but we have to fight him and cut his head off?" Keiichirō asked. "Yes, I know it sounds weird but something tells me we have to trust her" "Okay, but then we have to change the whole plan" Takuya said "Okay, so let's see..." Kōichi said and took a piece of paper from his pajama pocket.

"1.Takuya takes Kumiko to the farthest part of the 'farm' so that the demon doesn't hurt her quickly"
"2.Keiichirō, Kōichi, Kenjirō check if the gate is open, if not, they quickly take the sheets tied together and throw them over the wall so that we can go to the other side".
"Y/N takes the knife and goes towards the demon, trying to save as many children as possible she will succeed"
"4.When the three brothers are done with the gate, they run to help Y/N".

"Does everyone understand what to do?" I asked.
Everyone nodded. "Okay, now go back to bed. Tomorrow will be a tough day" We all got up and went to our rooms. I am honestly scared. I will have to face the demon. I don't even know how strong he can be. What if he defeats me? I wish it was all over.
