"You came, come in (Y/N), take a seat."

"I'm sorry for having to lie to you, but you weren't ready for such things as soon as you arrived." Isabella said, standing up to walk over to me as I silently cried.
It was all a lie, the pills, the village, the adoptions. I felt like I had no choice but to believe Mama Isabella, she was the only one who I could trust when I knew no one else here.
Isabella embraced me in a hug, petting my hair as she hushed me and slightly cradled me. I cried over my family, over Hikaru, over Mama Clementine, the deaths were too unbearable for me. It felt like my heart physically shattered, and I didn't know how to handle it.
"I have a proposition for you, (Y/N). You don't have to end up like your poor family, you can avenge them." She whispered in my ear as my crying died out, no more energy left inside of me to shed a tear.
"Avenge..?" I choked out as I wiped my tears, as she slowly let go of me and took the chair next to me.
"You could become a mother like me, at this orphanage, or one nearby at Grace Field. You can survive and take care of lovely children like mine that you seem to enjoy so much. But I only ask one thing in return if you do." She smiled at me, I couldn't tell what she was thinking, but to live and not die at the age of 12, I was willing to do everything it could take to stay alive.
Anything.
"I want you to become a spy for me. Spy on the older children, I know who went to the gate; just as you did a while ago to find their family member. They are planning an escape, and I know my other spy, Ray, is becoming a bit untruthful, not telling me as much as he knows."
I almost yelled out, a traitor. Ray, maybe that's why he hated me to much. Isabella pampered me slightly more than the others, but I brushed it off as me being a newcomer. But maybe because he knows I am going to take his place as spy?
"So if I tell you everything going on that's been happening, you'll let me live? I can grow old and not get hurt?" I asked, a twinkle of hope shimmering through my yellow eyes.
"It will be painful, I cannot deny that. You will have to fight your way to the top to deem yourself ready to become a sister, then a mother. But you have both the brains and physical strength capable to become like me. You just have to bear one child, and then you can take care of all the other children. Giving them the best life possible before their shipment."
'Hurt others for my own survival?' It was scary, I didn't want to, and my doubt was showing on my face and the way I fiddled with my pajama pants.
"You're a great child, (Y/N), and I know you wish not to harm others. But that's what Mama Clementine did for you, she tried to get rid of you for her safety. But here I'm giving you the option to be free. Free from a death when you are so young. So young when you have so much potential."
Her words.. they had a way of persuading me, and I didn't want to die. No one wants to die so young.
"So what do you say, (Y/N)? Do you take my hand in order to live your life to its fullest, and strive to the top to become Mother? The responsibility to care for children that you can love as your own? The satisfaction of growing their brains to please others, and getting praise for that?"
"I can lead you to another way of escape, believe me. Years ago.. when someone a deeply loved had died, I tried to escape. And I was so close until my own Mother stopped me and convinced me to become a sister trainee, from there you become a Mom as I said earlier. Your siblings here, their decision to escape is brash and impossible, you'll never make it out alive of here the way they're planning to leave."
"Take the safe route, the way to victory is not always the way everyone takes. You can live here until you are 12, then your "shipment" will be your way to Grandma, which you have met before, to start training to be a sister. (Y/N) this is your chance to be free. Work alongside me for a bit, then maybe you'll be able to surpass me."
"..."
"Yes, Mama Isabella. I take your offer."
