Today has been normal so far, waking up at 6, making breakfast and playing tag.
But there was one different thing. Mom had asked you to spy on Emma and Norman. So, here you were, following them into the forest.

So far they have only figured out that their live's are regulated, you tuned in again on the conversation, shifting your position. You were in one of your many hiding spots.

The one you were currently taking cover in a large tree branch, with so many leaves they covered your entire body from view.

"But why...? it's not like getting good scores would make us... taste any better?" Emma asked carefully,
" I don't know." Norman responded, he was thinking hard
"the house...our world... we thought we knew it all, but in reality, we know nothing."

"If you think about it, it's also strange that we're in the middle of the 21st century but there's not a single tv set or radio to be seen in the house. The inside of this cage is a manufactured anachronism." Norman said, still thinking.

Emma was listening while also lost in her thoughts.
"Right now before mom can, we must... we should make our move. we need to determine what we know." Norman said as he grabbed a stick, Emma watching him 

"let's see. based on the dates that the last three were shipped out, we can assume the next shipment will be in two months at the earliest. that's the amount of time we have to..."

Time skip

DING DING DING

you could hear mom ring the bell...The signal.

I must quickly find one of the younger children then return to the group with no one noticing.

You jumped through the trees trying to find a your victim.
lead them somewhere and disappear  

Your foot slipped
"Gahhh!" you hit the dirty ground with an
 "Oof" 

"Damn..." you mumbled under your breath, and sat up and looked around.
That's when you heard the voices...
"Nayla come on! Mom rang the bell we need to head in!" Mark was running towards to house, with Nayla following behind, bingo! ill snatch up Nayla! 

You got up and silently followed them, then as if asking for what was coming to her, Nayla tripped
"Ooof"
Even with the sound of his friend falling down, Mark didn't notice. He just kept running towards the house.

You walked towards Nayla,
"Waaa!" She had tears in her eyes she still faced the other direction not noticing y/n 

Smack

You hit Nayla in the back of the neck, knocking her out with one fail swoop.
She began falling to the ground, but, you caught her in one arm, and laid her down at a tree. 

That should be good... Now! time to get back!
You got up, dusted yourself off and headed towards the house.

You made it just in time.
You stood behind Emma and Norman. Mark had just made it to the group, he had a drastic look on his face.

"Mark! did something happen?" Mom asked
"what did I do?! I got separated from Nayla in the forest!! I looked over the place but couldn't find her!!" Mark sobbed.
You felt bad making  Mark cry but... it had to be done.

"Don't worry!" mom said sweetly while smiling then, she pulled out her pocket watch, took a glance at it, and put it away.
"Everybody stay put. Do you hear me?" mom ordered, and we all nodded our heads while she walked off into the forest.

Why mom had given her such strict instructions today... why?

A moment later, she returned with the sleeping (Or knocked out whichever one you prefer,)
Nayla in her arms.
"Mom!" Phil yelled running towards mom. Mom started to talk in the background, alongside the other children, but you weren't listening. You were watching Emma and Norman.

They looked terrified. It was almost amusing.
"T-that was way too fast." Norman said in a shaky voice, the only thing moving was his mouth. "it's almost as if mom knew exactly where Nayla was." 

"that thing isn't a watch. I-it's a transmitter..." Emma said in an equally shaky voice 

ah I see... how... Amusing. What an interesting approach. 

You sighed and joined the other children, smiling and laughing.

-Mochi
