"(Y/n), we need to talk." Ike turned towards me, eyes staring me down. I turned to him, forcefully gulping down a small amount of saliva.

"Talk about what?" I ask, tilting my head slightly.

"Be honest with me, what do you plan to do about this?" The novelist questioned, crossing his arms. The aurora radiating off of him was serious, and cold.

Sweat dripped down my forehead, "I don't know at the moment, but I will figure something out to stop this from continuing. I promise, Ike."

"I don't care whether you promise or not, but just please don't die on me. I don't want to loose you, (Y/n). Promise me you won't get hurt or die, I'm begging you." Ike gave me a desperate look.

My heart fluttered at his words. "I promise I won't die on you, pinky promise!" I stuck out my pinky.

Ike also stuck out his pinky, and intertwined his with mine. I smiled at him, "Listen, I play too much Genshin impact and I know that if I break a pinky promise, I'd get thrown on the ice."

The novelist laughed, "You play too much Genshin Impact."

"Yeah, she does. You should hear her scream when she gets a 5 star, it's like someone got murdered." A cocky voice snickers.

I look down below me, and see Mysta staring at me and Ike with a smirk on his face. "Oh come on! When the fuck did you wake up?" I mumble.

"I woke up just in time to hear that promise of yours." The detective's smirk grew wider. "Okay, but seriously, about that big plan of yours, don't hurt yourself."

I rolled my eyes playfully, "I can defend myself thank you very much—" before I could finish, Ike slapped his hand on my mouth. "What-?"

"Shh! Shush!" Ike hushed.

I look over at the small crack in the wood wall, and see a mindless walk by. Actually no, there was several walking by! At least 10-15 of them, and they all seemed to be heading to the same direction. An idea suddenly struck my head.

I gently removed Ike's hand from my mouth, and announced, "I'm going to follow them."

"What? Are you crazy?" Mysta whispered yelled, also peeping out the crack in the wall. "You'll kill yourself out there."

"I said I was gonna find a way to end this somehow, didn't I? This is just first step to reaching my goal." I said, and walked towards the shed door.

Ike quickly reached out for my hand, "(Y/n), Mysta's right! You're going to get yourself killed!"

"I have to, Ike! They might be leading us to somewhere." I pull away from his hold. He looked at me with sad and worried eyes, that I almost gave into. Even though the idea to stay by his side was tempting, saving the world is more important at this moment.

"I'll go with you then, to ensure you don't get injured." Ike insisted, and Mysta nodded beside him.

"I'd rather one person gets hurt, then all 3 of us. Plus, what will Luca, Vox, and Shu do when they wake up and find us just gone?" I replied.

Mysta shook his head, "Well we don't want you to get hurt either!"

I thought about it for a minute, "Fine, you guys can come with me. Pack your bags."

Mysta and Ike's face instantly became relieved, and they instantly went to pack there things. I had to hurry, and do this fast.

"I'm sorry." I slightly whispered, running out of the shed. I ran, as fast and far as I can towards the direction the mindlesses went. I heard Ike's distant voice shouting my name, but I didn't dare look back.
