22: BETTER OFF

"We'll be checking the Eastern side, will you come with us (y/n)?" Emma asked as Yuugo crossed his arms gazing to your figure who seem calm and collected, "sadly I have to reject your offer" You declined whilst Yuugo behind you jolted in response surprised you won't come with them. You knew he's trusting you especially on how skilled you are by fightning, but you know you have goals to taken care of.

"And I should ask why aren't you coming?" Lucas chimed in while your siblings remained quiet especially Don and Gilda who wanted to ask you too. "To clear things up, we're all aware that Ratri's people are still searching for us, and to be honest I still have to search for something important" you explained as Gilda stepped in. "Then I don't want to make this a big deal, but we all know you aren't interested in medical terms. But why are you invested in herbs and medicines all of a sudden?" She asked as Don nodded in agreement,

"That's something I must take care of" you said and approached the door holding the metal doorknob, "I need to find something useful for me," you mentioned before leaving the room where you and Emma's group held the meeting most of the time. You headed inside your room and searched for the clean cloth you've been hiding underneath your bed, you locked the door and started coughing blood.

"I still need to have a contact with that God, what he told to Emma keeps me confused" You muttered and checked the paper that Barbara, the certain girl you met in the woods. It's a map towards their base, she offered you a medication for your deteriorating health right? You badly needed it before your health could get any worse.

You stood up and hid the cloth again stepping outside of the room, You happen to come across Zack who's seem having suspicion to you lately, "what're you hiding (y/n)?" He asked bluntly as you didn't try to defend yourself anymore. There's nothing you could gain if you hid it from him, you could get help though. "I've been to Lambda when I'm still serving Ratri, and in exchange, I followed their rules eventually I have to drink some medications for my health. And now I'm facing the side effects" You mumbled whilst he was left surprised,

"Are you really that surprised? I mean you're not stupid to not notice it right?" You teased as he rolled his eyes asking about your health, "that's why I need to go" you explained as you sighed walking away from him, "why not tell this to Emma to help you?" He asked bluntly while you just chuckled. "then I will be a nuisance, if I told these things to her she'll probably suspend some days to find a cure for me which is bad because the group will take longer time to get others from the farm right?" You said and left him alone waving your hand assuring you'll be alright.

As the Night came, you checked the library and searched for some maps they used. You need a copy to ask the God directly about his plans about you and about his toying with you. "(Y/n)?" Emma asked as she entered inside with those soft voice of hers echoing through the room, she approached you as you remained quiet although you flinched when you felt het presence beside you.

"I know that I can't stop you anymore, I don't know your plans or anything but can you promise me one thing?" She asked and hugged you as she nuzzled her head on your neck, "please take care and keep safe" she said as you patted her head playing with her fluffy orange hair. "That's easy, let's meet up at the Western side, I'll be waiting there" you assured and pulled out from the hug before you two could return back to your shared room,

The next day, Emma's group went to check the Eastern side while you left too heading to Cuvitadala to get an answer from the God who assume who's toying you all this time; he prevented you from suicide, he gave you a confusing letter and even bothered you for a while.

------

You walked through the rustling leaves as you stepped on it while not hesitating to kill each demons you will come across with. A week have passed by as you decided to go search for the Cuvitadala first before heading to Barbara who invited you to join their group, "Sir? Negative, I think they wander off around here for quite before they found a shelter" a radio stated as you hid behind the trees with your figure. You widened your eyes and found out that's one of your past comrades, "hey give me that" you said and clicked your gun directly shooting to the woman behind the man who's talking,

"Bye bye" you said and pulled the trigger shooting the last soldier, "what happened there?" The Captain asked as you smirked, "we'll continue searching for them captain" you said with your sneaky smile.

Seems like I chose the right path, I'm better off this time.
