Darling in the Franxx: Code Zero

Chapter 9 - Last Chance

We finally arrived back at the 9th Plantation dorms. Me and Gin went to mine and Zero Two and Gin's.. I mean our hideout. Once we got there, nightfall had come upon us. We stood up staring at the stars once more before I spoke.

"Thank you Gin for making me feel better." I told him with my smiling grin.

"Your welcome Code Zero. I'm glad I was able to. Let's meet again sometime." He said.

"Yes, soon." I told him.

"Well, you should get going before you gather caught or in trouble being away from the dorms." He said.

"Oh yeah, your right. Well goodnight Gin." I told him.

"Goodnight Code Zero." Gin said.

I began walking away and Gin opened the hole up again. He climbed in and then turned around. I stopped and waved at him and so did he. I smiled and then ran as fast as I could back to the 9's dorms.

Gin's POV

'Goodnight Code Zero. Hopefully the next few days goes well for you. If you ever need me, I'll always be here for you, just like I promised back then.' Gin says to himself slowly dozing off.

End of Gin's POV

I finally had arrived back inside. I walked past the lab, the dining hall, and  the 9th dormitory. I saw a couple of guards but I was able to sneak past them. I headed towards the entrance to take me to Papa and Mama's place. I went through all of security and finally arrived. I typed my Code in the system and the door opened. I walked past the waiting area and headed to my room. I saw the door open to the camera and security room. Papa and Mama were there watching something over and over again. I had wondered what it was but I couldn't take the risk of being caught spying on everything. I had to know my place and role where I belonged. I kept walking until I arrived to my room. I closed the door and began to write in my journal, of everything that had happened today. From the mock battle to Miss Amai. Then I hid the book back where it went and got ready for bed.

I sat in bed and looked at the book I got when I first came to Papa and Mama that was under my bed. It was my "gift" that they liked to call it. I began to read it. The story of the two little girls and the little boy who were like me and they were friends once, but we ended up going their separate ways or disappearing and never saw each other again. Then one met another girl who was just like her and they both were amazing friends until one day they wanted to go find themselves. And all of the book wasn't finished. I always had wondered why they gave me a book of empty pages and only a couple pages written. Papa and Mama never did tell me my answer that I was looking for. They always said it was just made that way. But I knew it wasn't that way. I wanted to rewrite the book as my own and share my life with everyone. And I was determined to do exactly that.

A little while later, I heard Mama and Papa walking towards my room. I sat at my desk and grab the mission papers and began reading them. They then opened the door and told me something.

"Good evening, Code Zero." Papa said.

"Good evening, Papa and Mama." I said looking up from my work.

"We would like to speak with you about your situation and everything that has happened because of you."

'Because of me...' I thought to myself.

We all walked to the waiting area and sat in three different chairs away from eachother.

"Code Zero, you have been told countless times, over and over again to only focus on missions and yourself. Bu..." Said Papa getting cut off.
