------------------------------------

(Y/N) tries to get her body onto the horse-like animal, and finally gets enough momentum to fling herself over. 

"Go!" She hears yelling in the distance from the demons. She hears multiple footsteps following them soon after. 

'Where are we going? Who is this?' She tries to get a look at the person who saved her, but she passes out from exhaustion right after. 

... 

(Y/N) scrambles up from her laying position to find herself in a bed on the floor. "Hah... hah..." She stands up slowly, taking in her surroundings. She grabs the plant-looking lamp up from off the floor. 

'Where am I?' (Y/N) wonders. 'What time is it? How long was I out? I have to find everyone else.' She sates walking out into the tunnel-like hallways. 'It's quiet... good. I can work in silence. I need to find my bag.' She looks at the walls before pressing one of her hands against it. 'Stop. Ground yourself. In...' She takes in a deep breath. 'And out.' She releases it from her mouth. 

She looks around the tunnel, and spots another hall with light coming from it. She walks over and peeks in through the corner. 'Emma...' She walks to the girls side, before sitting down and gently shaking the girl awake. 

"(Y/N)...? (Y/N)!" Emma grabs onto the (H/C) girl's shoulders before encasing her into a hug. "I'm so so so glad... I'm so glad you're still alive! I didn't know..." She green-eyed girl starts sobbing on (Y/N)'s shoulder. "I didn't know what happened..." 

(Y/N) breaks the hug and softly smiles at Emma. 

"(Y/N)... what is this place? Do you know where we are?" 

(Y/N) shakes her head no. "...No..." 

... 

"So we were saved at the same time?" Emma asks. "The hooded girl and man... are they together? Who are they?" 

(Y/N) shrugs, turning around. She starts to walk out of the room, into the hall, Emma trailing behind her. 

"I don't think they're hostile." Emma states. "If they were, we would've been dead by now." A uncomfortable comfortable silence encases the two, before Emma blurts something out. "Do you think this could be Minerva's doing? Doesn't it make sense, though? A human who fights against the farming of children..." 

(Y/N) stops upon hearing footsteps, and Emma does as well. The girl in the hood coms out from the darkness. 

"Excuse me..." Emma mumbles. 

"You're better!" The figure rushes to Emma. "I'm so glad you've recovered. How do you feel?" 

"Er, yes, fine, thank you!" Emma stutters out. 

(Y/N) silently steps back a few paces, trying to not get in the way, or to get noticed. 

The girl turned Emma's head to the side. "The bleeding stopped, and it seems like the fever let down too. The healing herbs worked fine then!" She exclaims happily. "However, you and your friend here are forbidden from doing any hard work. If you get sick again, it'll get dangerous!" 

The hooded girl grabs both Emma's hand and (Y/N)'s hand, no matter how much (Y/N) wanted to avoid any contact. 

"You all did a great job escaping that farm. It's alright now. You're safe here with us." She assures them. "Please relax and stay here for the rest of the night. Okay?" 

"Sorry, but where are our friends? The ones who were with me..." Emma asks. 

"Right over here. We've just finished setting up dinner. Come, let's go!" The woman leads them down a hallway. 

"...Who was the man... who saved me?" (Y/N) cautiously asks. "Is he... a companion?" 

"You mean Sonju?" She asks. 

"Mhm..." 

"Yes, he's here too." 

"'Sonju'..." Emma whispers. "So that wasn't Minerva..." 

"Minerva?" She asks. 

"William Minerva. Perhaps you've heard of him?" Emma asks. 

The hooded girl just turns around and continues walking. 

"ꁕꍟꁒꆂꁹꌚ." The same voice says inside (Y/N)'s head. 

"Say..." (Y/N) says, her voice barely above a whisper. "You're not demons, are you?"
