"What?..." ray said through the shock while the rest just stood/laid their shock at the info mama just dropped

Making them look at me just standing over here with a smile, as I was too tired from today's events

'My ass still hurts...' I thought to myself as I tried to soothe it

"Harley..." I heard mama said

I looked at her still holding emma and norman

"Can you get the rope, emma threw over there." she said making all except me tensed

"No point in lying to me, I saw norman told emma to throw it. So be a dear and go get it for me." she said with a smile

I sighed and said "Okay mama."

"Good girl. Give it to me in my room and wait for me there while I patch up these two, okay?" she said as she picked up emma and norman with ease

My eyes widened, as I thought 'How much does she bench?'

I see mama leaving with emma and norman in tow as she passed by the three

"You three, follow me... Now." she said not leaving room for any ifs or buts

Having no say in the matter, they just went with her while ray hesitated for a while just to clench his teeth and ball up his hand

Leaving me to go get the rope

As I grabbed the rope and went to wait in mama's room

I looked behind to see the wall contemplating on whether or not to climb it but just shook my head and went to go to mama's room

-Timeskip-

As I was sitting down, waiting for mama to finish up taking care of emma and norman

I heard the door knob jiggled a bit making me turn around to see mama looking at me with a smile

"Hi mama, you wanna talk about something?" I asked

"No... Just wanted you to wait her and give me the rope while I patch those two up." she saud as she sat down on her chair

"Alrighty then. I'll see you later, mama." I said as I went to the infirmary

As I was walking pass some of the kids all circled around a broken down door

I just smiled and went on my merry way

As I drew near to my destination, I couldn't help but feel scared

As I opened the door, I was greeted by the sight of emma and norman laying in bed with casts while ray was sitting down next to them

"What's got you all depressed? Someone die?" I asked with a smile only to be met with silence

I looked at their faces and saw that they were scared

"... Wow... Tough crowd." I giggled, again silence

"Oh, come on guys. It's not like I'm gonna die tonight." I said with a smile

Ray went up to me grabbed me by my collar and lifted it up

"Too much?" I asked with a smile

"You dumbass! Why?! Why are you okay with all of this?! As if this is all a joke to you!" ray asked as I saw tears threatning to fall

I sighed and said with a smile "Because, I'm happy. Happy to get to spend my last moments with you guys. You don't need me to help you escape. You guys are fine on your own. Just use my death as motivation to end this all, okay?"

"What are you talking about!?" emma shouted

"We need you alive! It's not the same if we leave you behind! I said all of us are going to escape together and I mean it!" emma continued to shout

"Guys, please just list-"

"No! You listen to us harley, we already made a plan so you don't have to die." norman said

-Flashback-

As mama left the room leaving only me and norman to our thoughts

I couldn't help but feel scared

'Harley's gonna die?' I thought as I looked at my shaking hands

Then the door flung open knocking me out of my train of thought

I looked to see ray angry

As he closed the door and went to sit next to us

"We need to think of a way for harley to survive!" ray said

"Agreed!" norman said while I just nodded my head at them

"The most common thing to do is let her escape first." ray said

"Then lets go with that." I said

"It's not that simple... There are many things that can go wrong, one of them is that mama might already know we are planning for this and might send out a search party for her, once she goes over the wall." ray said

"Unless... We make it look like she escaped." norman said

Making the two of us look at him

"If we make it look like she escaped but really is hiding in the forest, we disable her tracker and give her enough rashions until my arm and emma's leg will heal." norman said

"That's the best chance we got! Let's do it!" I said making the other two nod their heads

As we heard the door opened, I couldn't help but see harley's died hodyr in front of me

The image of harley's corpse laying died behind the back of a truck, scared me

-End Of Flashback-

"And that's why we need you to escape tomorrow!" ray said

"I'm flattered you guys thought of something but sorry, I can-"

"NO." they said at the same time making my sweat drop

"Even if it works, what about security?" I asked

"We got that planned as well." norman said

"Yeah, all you gotta do is hide and wait for us!" emma said

"But what about you guys? If your plan works then someone will take my place!" I said now knowing why I was scared

'This kids are hardcore' I thought

"Then how about you break one of your legs, ray?" emma asked

I saw both boys legit get light bulbs above their heads as emma saud that

"Mama needs you which means they want a premium product, if we break a leg then they can't ship out any of us since were damaged goods!" norman said

"I'm all for it but why a leg though? We should break my arm instead, it's more convinient if we break an arm instead a leg." ray explained

"Hold on! You guys can't he be serious?" I asked as sweat was dripping down my head

"Yes, were serious! Of course were serious! It's better than you dying. I don't care that things are going as planned but I know death isn't part of it!  You told us that everything is gonna be alright! You said it, You! So come on. Say that you'll live with us harley..." emma said holding my hands

I smiled as I couldn't hold back the tears

'To think they will go this far for me...'

"Yeah."
