FAKE || The Promised Neverland

♛Chapter 29 - Pursuers♛

⚠️ TW BLOOD ⚠️

Y/n's POV

You shifted behind the tree although, it was pointless. the demons had already seen you. What to do...
"We will bring them back at once," The demon said into some weird device, probably used for communication

As you hid in the shadows knowing it was pointless the demons walked towards the demon that had been decapitated and was now lying limp on the ground.
"Insolent knave..." The demon with the cloak-like thing said and stabbed a sword through the demon's head. I almost had it! he would've fallen through the ground... if it weren't for these guys, I'd already been back with Emma, Ray and the others! "Tch" you found this very irritating. Wait... Are the other alright?! I think they got pretty far away... But I can't tell from over here! There's no way to know, and no way to communicate! What do I do... The enemy... there's more than one. with two more running around. I have barely any routes left to run! Besides... that one guy... that head... he took off that giant monster's he's in one swing! I'm heavily lacking in both numbers and power! What do I do next??? How do I escape? You sighed I need to keep calm.

"Find anything?" The demon with the cloak said who seemed to be the leader said, "This thing hasn't eaten. I don't smell any scent of human from his mouth. It hasn't eaten a single human." A demon said. Oh, I see now... maybe these guys... In that case... You rummaged through your backpack and pulled out a pair of scissors "Are you hiding over there? You can come out now." The 'leader' said,
"That was a close one, wasn't it? thank goodness you're safe. It's alright now, I've taken care of the big bad monster. So come on out now, will you?" The cloaked demon said. You didn't respond.

"Should I go and drag him out?" One of the demons on all fours asked, "No, it's fine, stay where you are."
"Are you bu yourself? where are the others? You understand now, don't you? living outside here is impossible. now let us return home" The Leader of the other two said and you took the scissors and wrote 'go 06-32 pursuer' wait, the demon asked about the others! that must mean they're safe. great. Y/n smiled
Then, there's only one thing left for me to do! Keep their attention completely focused on me! It was my original plan to go back to them but... I can't, I can't risk their lives. I'll run in the opposite and lead them away as far as possible!... But can I do it?... No. there's no can or can't. I have to do this! Y/n stayed silent, worry bubbling up inside. although I'm pretty sure death would be easier... Memories flashed through your head, memories of the smiling faces of your siblings.

But I won't die. Not right after I made that vow. I'm going to live and protect my family. If you come looking for me. I hope you find this, Emma, Ray. You thought as you put your hand on the message you had carved into the tree, Ray... Emma, Next time we meet, we'll be in B 06-32! You were ready to risk your life... maybe even die... But, I have to at least try to continue living, for Emma's sake, Ray's sake.

You stepped out into the open,
"Took you long enough. Everyone's dead already." You said with a smirk and pulled your scarf down for the demons to see your number, 85194 "So she is indeed premium quality 85194" Premium quality... I don't know if I should be pleased by that or not...
"I have no intention of going back there just to get eaten." You told the demons "Your opinion matters not." The demon with a cloak said
"Capture her!" The leader demon yelled and the beasts on all fours ran towards me and within milliseconds you began running as fast as you could, while you got further and further, it seemed a few more demons joined the ones already chasing you. You couldn't look back in fear of slowing down even a little bit.

The demons were fast and they were close to surrounding you, To the right... left... and behind. These are not the same as that animal from before... they waste no movements... and show signs of planning. and they're not attacking me... Because I'm 'premium quality' for sure they want to salvage tonight's shipment. these bastards are just... trying to get me tired! As soon as I stop, I lose. I'll be snatched at that very instant. I have to lose them!
