FAKE || The Promised Neverland

♛ Chapter 14 - Traitor ♛

Y/n POV

We we're walking up the stairs towards the library where we had told Gilda and Don to meet us there,
"The smaller our teams are, the better chance each of team has of survival." Norman started "first, we'll get those two to join us. if they just so happen to end up being mama's spies, we can figure out what to do from then and there." Norman said stopping "...so how are we gonna break the news to then though? we've gotta word everything carefully, or else it'll all end up getting tossed to the side as some kind of sick joke by those two." Ray started as we walked towards Emma "Not everybody is going to just straight up believe everything you  two say like me and y/n did, ya hear?" Ray said in Emma's face y/n could feel a smirk grow on her face but it quickly disappeared,

"well Emma and I were discussing this as well, but to sum it up..." Norman said, "we won't tell them the truth," Emma said putting it simply, Ray made a face one that matched y/n's feelings but her mask kept her from showing any expression "what..?" Ray started saying "we can't be responsible for putting them in danger." Emma said interrupting Ray, "mom isn't making any moves because she doesn't see any changes in our daily lives at the moment... But once we start to show that somethings up, she might go straight for the 'early shipment' option. I do want our escape to succeed..." Emma said, "but in the event that it doesn't along as those two don't know the real truth, their lives just may be spared." Norman said "I don't care if they call me a lair. I don't care if they find out later and hold a grudge against me. If mom ends up killing us all even before those demons start coming into the picture that's the real game over." Emma said seriously "Now isn't the time to tell them the truth." Emma said getting determined.

Then we started walking the rest of the stairs towards the library "it is quite difficult... to try and come up with another scenario for them that'll get them pumped enough for this plan to work." Norman said then when he finished his sentence he swung the door open "Thanks for waiting guys!" y/n said walking ahead to greet Don "no problem! so what's up?" Don said

After Emma started talking

"Human trafficking?" Don asked standing up Emma and Norman were standing I was sitting in the chair across from Gilda "Yeah... all of our siblings that left here so far have been sold off to these bad guys." Emma said looking down. Don was looking quite shocked then... "PFFT" Don started cracking up "BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!" Don started laughing like crazy "I was worried that you were gonna tell us something really bad from the looks on your faces... but this?! BWAHAHA no friggin way!!" Don said literally dying on the floor yeah of course he would react like that... "why don't  just think for a moment about the gate and the fence surrounding us... and how none of our siblings who have already left have sent us any letters!" Norman said trying to convince Don it was almost funny how serious he looked "Good one! so what's the punch line? is this the setting of a new game we're playing?" Don said looking around but no one said or did a thing "...huh?" Don asked "Woah, hold up. ya'll are kidding right?" Don asked,

"Nope." y/n said plainly 
"wait... so then... huh? what about mom?"  Don said trying to figure out what was happening "she's the one who's been selling our siblings off" Emma said looking down y/n had to admit that was a pretty clever lie, "what?! quit joking around! drop it already! what the hell... there's no way! She's so nice..." Don said not handling this very well  "Don." Gilda started speaking for the first time since they walked in "I don't think Emma would lie about something like this. She loves our family and mom too much!" Gilda said standing up "and also... I've been feeling like you all have been acting weird lately. that night... when Emma and Norman went to the gate and came back... usually, you two would always come clean by telling the truth to mom if you ever broke one of our house rules, and yet...  Not only did you guys apologize.. but you both even told me to keep quiet about the fact that you had left at all! and then soon after, mom started making us all do chores... as if we were getting punished for something bad." Gilda said wow...  I'm surprised Gilda noticed all of that... "Emma kept disappearing somewhere... and you always seemed a lot more serious than usual... so it kept getting harder and harder to ask you what happened and..." Gilda said starting to tear up,

"WAAAHHH!" Gilda cried getting up and running over to Emma "Emma... did you see... Conny getting sold off to the bad guys?" Gilda asked  "Yes. but we didn't make it in time." Norman said looking genuinely sad "wait a minute... could it be that Conny..." Don started hopefully "She's okay... Right?! she's safe, right!?" Don asked grabbing onto Norman's shoulders "We don't know." Norman answered, "let's escape this house and save Conny!" Don said getting determined "Let's all escape together!!" Emma said determined to,

"I'm not sure if this will help us sound a little more credible... but these are the scores of all of our siblings who left. Ray and I looked them up over the past few days." Norman said holding up a piece of paper and handing it to them "scores?" Don and Gilda said holding the paper and looking at it "please believe us! ... help us! And run away with us!" Emma said.

The next day

we were outside near the tree "our next move is to figure out whether they are spies or not. let's try something first." Norman said, "try what?" Emma asked "telling them where the ropes are hidden." Norman said with a smile "wha-?" Emma said clearly as confused as y/n was "of course, we won't tell them where they're actually hidden. we're going to feed Don and Gilda with two separate locations. I've already hidden some extra ropes in those places, in case someone some to check. if either one of them are the spy, they've successfully made it into our circle and can easily access new information... which means they'll be aching to tell mom their new findings as soon as possible. who will make a move? will we manage to successfully fool mom? are either of them the spies?" Norman said.

Hey! I'm sorry I haven't include y/n's number so here it is just in case you were wondering her number is 85194! I hope you are having a good day/night ^^
