FAKE || The Promised Neverland

♛ Chapter 19 - Creep ♛

"I went and managed to swipe what you asked for!" Don announced holding up laundry powder and herbicide "what do you even need this stuff for?" Don asked Norman "they'll be useful when we carry out our investigation." Norman said grabbing the herbicide from Don.

"When you say 'investigation', you mean climbing over the gates and checking out what's outside right?" Gilda asked Norman as the wind brushed through y/n's hair they had made their way out after Don had gotten the laundry powder and herbicide. Norman nodded, "but what about our trackers?" Gilda added, "about that..." Emma said, "we just need to divert the adult's attention!" Emma declared  "Exactly." Norman started "all we have to do.. is to distract mom and sister Krone so that they don't check out the location. we're going to create a situation where those two won't be looking at their pocket watches... and quickly execute our inspection while those two are looking elsewhere" Norman explained "But how?" Don asked "y/n and Ray has already fed mom some false info" Norman said as he started walking farther into the forest everyone following close behind " I get that they have mom under control... but what about sister Krone?" Don said, "Don't worry I've got a plan for her a well." Norman said.

After that we walked further into the forest the sound of our footsteps the only sound then, something caught y/n's eye a tall figure. Y/n's eyes widened Sister Krone. everyone else seemed to notice too, it was like something scary happened in a book, everyone jumped back, well except for Norman, in fact, Norman seemed unfazed "would you like to speak with us?" Norman asked innocently "I've seen everything." Sister Krone said as she spoke over Norman huh? what does she mean!?... "I've heard your entire conversation last night! The target... Includes all 6 of you!" Sister said in a crazed voice s-she knows? "Norman... Emma... y/n... Ray... Gilda... Don" Sister listed with a huge smile.

Emma was now hugging Gilda tightly in fear "would you six like to team up with me?" Krone asked leaning a bit too close to Emma's face for y/n's liking, when y/n was about to jump up and shield Emma from the crazed lady Norman spoke: "stay calm, guys. we'll be okay. let's listen to what she has to say." Norman said with a reassuring smile y/n stayed quiet "exactly. all I'm asking is for us to join forces in order to help each other achieve our goals." Sister said sensing y/n's annoyance and stepping back "Achieve our goals?" Emma asked in a frightened voice "that's right." Krone confirmed then continued, "Your goal is to escape., Mine is to become mom of this house. my ultimate wish is to drag Isabella out of her position and snatch it for myself. Just to make sure you all know, I'm telling nothing but the truth right now. In essence, my goal is also to escape... from my current position." Sister Krone said then revealed a number much like everyone else.

"do you all know how the rules of this system are organized?" Sister said bending down just as mom does when she's teaching us a lesson "girls who successfully clear a certain set of requirements and end up living here until the age of 12 are given options to choose from. One is to be killed, and the other is to work towards becoming a mom. Satisfactory grades... and a recommendation from their very own moms. as long as you manage to pass both of these hurdles you will always be guaranteed an option for survival... thought this only applies to girls." Sister Krone said as she unbuttoned her buttons "but honestly,  I wouldn't recommend anybody to take that path... Because they will modify your body so that it'll become physically impossible for you to leave your designated areas." She finished revealing a nasty scar reaching down, "we adults have a small device embedded in our bodies. it's programmed to send an electric shock that'll stop our hearts if we step even a single step outside of grounds. at the same time, this is also programmed to send an alert to our higher-ups if our heart happens to stop on its own varying reasons." Krone said buttoning her shirt up "my only option is to live within these grounds. that's why I really want to make the best out of what I have. I want to spend the rest of my days as a mother, even if it's all fake. I would love to live in a cozy little home with a cozy family filled with innocently adorable children who will all love me unconditionally." Sister said with a small smile "and that's why I must get rid of Isabella. I must erase her." She said back to being serious "If you children successfully make you escape, Isabella will be forced to take responsibility for it all! My dream we actually come true!" Krone said in a happy voice that had a bit of an over-douce of crazy "that's why I won't do anything to get in your way. run away as far as you are like. It'll do nothing but benefit me in the end" Sister Krone said, It made y/n almost not want to escape and benefit her... almost "you won't... ship us out? Us, the targets?" Gilda asked in a shocked voice.
