Forest, near Paradise hideout, May 20th, 2062, 2:30am

Ray and Rose still haven't woken up yet. We're all exhausted, but we can't stop until we're out of danger. Rose stopped shaking a while after we left, a few days ago.

Demonica cries a lot and is worried for them. I try to comfort her the most I can. I personally can't sleep at night, I just keep dozing off but never fall asleep. I'll sleep once I'm sure Rose and Ray are out of danger.

We were almost at the hideout when an arrow came flying too close to us. We all turned around to see... a human??

It's clearly a woman. Her black dress is slit along her left leg. Her hair is down and they're brown with the front looking blond. She has two necklaces around her neck and they're like both half of a heart. She's wearing a wooden mask and is pointing an arrow at us. I can see her skin is dark and that she has some scars.

« Hum, hey, huh, lady. Sorry to say this but we're kind of in a hurry you see. »

« Mama and uncle Ray need help! We need to go back home! »

Demonica- growled??? Well, she is part demon so I don't know why I'm surprised by that. She was growling and showing her fangs to the woman who had her arrow pointed towards her.

I put myself in front of Demonica and dropped my weapon to the ground.

« Hey! Hey! C-calm down! No need to shoot anyone, a child even less. Demonica is right. We have two unconscious people and we need to get them help. And quick. »

I looked towards my father and Odelia when the latter exclaimed.

« Cassian! Demonica! Please hurry! Rosemary is starting the shake again! »

« Fuck- Shit- »

I look back towards the woman.

« Okay, listen. We don't have time to deal with you right now, but we know a safe place where you could stay at, okay? You just have to come with us. We're not with the Ratris or whatever, we're the escapees. »

The woman lowered her bow.

« Are you sure it's safe? »

« Well, it's safer than out here, that's for sure. But yeah, it is! Minerva is the one in charge of this place. »

« Minerva... »

The woman took some careful steps closer to us. Demonica had calmed down.

« Bring me to that safe place. »

« Y-yeah, just follow us. »

I let out a sigh before we all left for good.

Ratri manor, April 30th, 2062, 5:30pm

These past few days have been exhausting. I met the Ratri family that are still alive and I don't think they like me very much. If it can make it so I don't have to interact with them, I'm fine with that.

Finally I can lay down and relax. I finally have some time to finish reading Poppy's diary.

I take the diary and open it to where I had stopped last time.
