The Altered Puzzle The Promised Neverland X Male OC

[A web of lies]

Sakura did his daily morning routine, wake up, bathe, eat, test, play time but the more he thought about Ray the more his mind came to an agreement, he was the Impostor.

But Norman would suspect him for technical reasons, and that suspicion could lead him to what he isn't supposed to know.

So he decided to expose Ray, snitches get stitches true and he'd never betray the code but he also didn't want to betray any of the kid's trust due to something he couldn't control.

He decided to meet up with the trio. Now he had to find away to rat Ray out without actually ratting him out. Sh-

Anyways, the four were suspicious of each other already.

"We're setting the plan in action, ten days from now, mama is most likely shipping one of us early" Norman announced.

"Wait but, we can't just do that we haven't had enough time to train the younger ones, you don't know how dangerous the outside world is!" Sakura said in objection. He was right too, the outside world was a terrible place and only few humans survive there.

"And you do?" Norman asked Sakura suspiciously. It was obvious Norman suspected him and Ray also did despite being the real spy, he thought he was another of mama's spy but no matter how he looked at it, that was impossible.

Sakura kept quiet, he couldn't blow his cover, he had to set Ray up or hope that Norman's intellect would figure out Ray was the impostor because he was receiving more attention than he'd like to.

"On November 8th  we will execute our plan" Norman announced again, taking no room for objection.

"I agree with Sakura for a start, it's to quick!" Ray objected.

"Yeah isn't that too much of a rush?!" Emma asked obviously against the decision.

Sakura glared at Norman, before he sighed. 'I hate that brat so much' He thought in annoyance. Who the hell did he think he was, if Sakura felt like it he could kill every single kid and adult in this orphanage. (Not like he'd do it lol)

He drowned out the noise of the rest and did some brain work. 'I do understand his thinking though, we have to be unpredictable, Isabella's is smarter than she lets on and it's better to move before winter or else we'll die either of starvation or due to the cold, and she has no intention of hiding the fact that she has a spy but she isn't making it look like she does, so she's trying to trick them that they have time' Sakura thought as he stared up into the sun (RIP his eyesight ayy)

"The smaller our team the better chance we have to survive and we'd figure out what to do if they were mama's spies" Norman explained to Emma as they walked up the stairs.

"So what do you suggest we do? We need to word everything carefully or they'll take this as a sick joke" Ray said to Norman.

"We'll leave that one to me" Sakura said with a smirk "I'll just lie to them"

"You're gonna leave them in the dark!? We can't be responsible for putting them in danger" Ray criticized Sakura.

"Can you not criticize everything I do for once jeez. She isn't making any moves because we aren't making any moves but if she smells even a scent of something being plotted she'll set an early shipment date so as long those two don't know a thing they won't die hopefully" Sakura said with a shrug.

"You all have to act sad and go with everything I say okay" Sakura said with a thumbs up. 'I don't think it's wise to tell them I'm making this up on the spot' Sakura said with a sweat drop.

They opened the door to reveal the two children, Gilda and Don and then they started their act.

"Don, Gilda..." Sakura trailed with tears in his eyes "C-Connie and the rest of the kids" his voice cracked, worrying the two.

"W-what happened?" Don asked worriedly. "They were trafficked and s-mama is a trafficker" He finished, "trying" to stop tears from falling.

Don burst out laughing, not believing them, but stopped as he saw their depressed faces. "This is a joke right?" Don asked unsure. Sakura but inside his cheek. "I-I'm sorry..." Sakura "choked a sob"

"Quit joking around, i-its mum your talking about..." Don trailed in sadness and desperation.

"I-I don't think Sakura would joke about some like this, ever since they came back from the gate, they weren't as happy as they use to be, even Sakura always seemed on edge despite his smile-" Gilda tried to reason as she started to sob on Sakura's chest.

Sakura swallowed his saliva as he tried to focus on anything but her flesh and blood that he desperately wanted to devour. Throughout the whole conversation he closed his eyes whenever he felt his eyes turned red and opened it when it turned back to normal, leaving the other three to fill in the details of his lie.

After some time, Gilda finally got off him, making Sakura sigh in relief internally.

"Don't worry, I won't let any of us be sold off anymore, we'll escape every single on of us" Sakura said in determination, his pink eyes glowing a beautiful cherry blossom colour.

After explaining how the shipment process worked under the disguise of being sold they left the two, Ray, Emma and Norman completely against the idea.

"Well that went smoothly" Sakura said in relief

"How? "Save Conny" "We don't know" we should've at least revealed her death, if they turn out not to be mama's spies, then we're just giving them false hope, those lies are cruel as well and you know too damn well, when are you gonna tell them the truth!?" Ray complained, the other two backing him up.

"Well I'll figure that out then, and what if they are? Or are you suggesting that you know for sure they aren't the traitor?" Sakura asked with a smirk.

Ray backed down. 'He's onto me' Ray thought.

﹥*:ꔫ:*+ﾟ﹥*:ꔫ:*+ﾟ﹥*:ꔫ:*+ﾟ

"Next step is to give them false info on where the ropes are hidden" Sakura said with a grin

"We'll feed them to separate locations, and extra ropes have been hidden in those locations, if they are mama's spies they'd tell mama immediately" Sakura explained to them.

"Now, let's see who will fall into the web of lies I've set for them~" Sakura said with a hint of sadism, making the three shiver.

"I'm tired, let's go in" Sakura whined.

'Talk about mood swing' The three thought.

'I'll tell Emma and Ray the same location and Norman a different location, Norman now it's up to you to find out for yourself who the impostor is, or my assistance will no longer be available for the escape plan~' Sakura thought.

At this rate it would be utterly boring, he had to add a bit more spice in this~.
