She started to grab my hand then squish them. Norman and Ray still silent. They looked at each other. Then stated to grab my shoulder. Right, was Ray. And left, was Norman. "Eri, answer her...". Norman spoke in a serious tone. Ah... His mad. " I think you all already know the ans-". I was cut by Ray. "Just answer her!". I was surprised. Ray would never raised his voice this high. Huh... I guess he was pissed off.
Then i let out a sigh. "All Emma said.... Its true. It's my fate. It's my destiny..."i state.
Present~~
After said those word, i turn around. My back was facing them. "So this is why you acting so weird lately". I heard Emma mumbled. " Why won't you tell us, from the beginning?". Norman asked, disappointed.
"Should i?". Suddenly, someone grab my shoulder the turn me around harsly to face them. Ray. " 'Cause if you tell us from the start, you won't have to dig your own grave! And there should be a wa-". "A way? You mean escape?. If i do that, i would have dig a grave for one of you!". I cut him.
"Wha-what do you mean Eri?". Emma stammered. "It means, if i escaped, mama could choose one of you to shipped out, to replace me!...". After i yelled, silence took the tension. I could see Norman panicked and maybe, tried to think some way. Emma's worried face, and Ray.....
He just stare at me. I know that face. Face of feeling scared of.....losing. i sighed. And earning the attention from the trio. "So that's why, even of i tell you guys from the start, you Can't do anything. And that's why, just accept it, won't you?".
The trio faced. "I....Can't " Norman answered. Then Emma , with her hopefull eyes , yelled." I won't! I won't! I won't accept it!.". I looked at her, surprised. Then Ray clicked my forehead.
"Ouch-". "That's what you get for saying something stupid". I blinked my eyes, and touched my forehead. "Ray is right, i never thought Eri could coil be this silly". Norman concluded. Still with my poker face, i asked." But, why?".
"Even it, you're older from the three of us, you have no right to command me. And i won't escape if you didn't come with us.". Emma said, with her confidence. I stare at them blankly. Then smiled.
"Okay, okay. I get it. You guys won't just give up on me huh?. It's Okay. It's Up to you guys, but i'm not the one who think the plan 'cause i'm to lazy". I raised my hand.
"Leave that to me." Norman speak. I give a thumb. Then glance at Emma." So what the plan again?". I asked cassually.

I run. Yes, me and Norman being the 'it'. Welp, that's fair. 'cause i'm to lazy to lead some group. I stop for a while, tried to focus, to hear some sound. "Ah". I heard the sound, and run towards it.
"Aaaaah- Eri come in this way!.". In a second i caught lanni. "Awwwh, you're way to fast". He commented. I sighed and Pat his head. " First lesson, never being panicked, even of the 'it' was near. And second, be quite.". He nodded. "Okay i'll try again in next round!". He said, full energy.
Then an unwanted voice is what i heard, from behind me."looks like you all are having fun! Care to let me join?~". Kami-sama, i still love my life. Why do she always give heart me attacked?.
"Sure, it would be more fun." I said it bluntly. In a second she show her 'big smile'. Or should i said creepy. "What are u doing?!". Ray whispered to me. Then i said to the trio. "This is our chance! Chance to get to know our enemy". I reply. "Good idea!". Emma said.
"The time limit is 20 minutes. I will be it. Get ready everyone~.". I don't even wasted a time. Now, i'm running. Then i started to jump from tree to another tree. Finally, i stopped. Looked at my surroundings.
No sounds....
No voice...
Weird......
Still on the branch, i saw some of the kids gathered in one place. What are their doing?. In a second, sister Krone appeared and caught them all. Wait a minute.... Aaah~ i see~.
She's craftier then i thought~. This is getting my interest. Then i smirked. Then i Saw lanni being chased sister Krone. I want to help him but, he already in the tree. Suddenly sister Krone crushed the tree. I wonder strong she is, or even mama. Maybe they can brake our Bone...
Not for a Long time, i Made my direction far away from the sister, but then i Saw 2 children. Behind them! . Quickly, i run towards them to carry them with me. It Is such a coincidence, that Emma was on the way here too.
"I'll take Phil! You take the other!". I command quickly. She nodded. And we took a different direction. Emma was hide behind the huge rock, while me and Phil, on the tree. "Phil, be quite". I said softly. He nodded.
"Emma, Eri, you guys must be exhausted for carrying them!. You'd have to rest or you wouldn't be able to keep running would you?". She keeps talking, like a crazy person. How she doesn't look worm out?. How strong...
"Did you know? Norman awal point is stamina, Ray's Achilles heel is that he give up to early, Emma. Yours.... Is your naivety. Yours so overly optimistic, that you attempt to take others with you, when you should be focusing on saving yourself.". She continued talking, i'm glad that she didn't mention me.
"If you saw the goods on that day....... I'm you're side. I found you~~". I could see Emma horrified face. But, what did she means 'im you're side'?. "Oh yeah! I was almost forgot!. Eri...". She the glance at the direction of my hiding spot. That actually scared me for a sec.
"Your weakness is, you can never express yourself, right?~ oh, and your time is no longer here~.". Ah... So she knew it. "Phil stay here". After that, i Quickly jump from the tree and run as fastest i can. The from beside me there appeared Norman and Ray.
"I'll go straight". Is all i said. Without waiting their respons, i speed my running and jump, reaching the branch, and swinging one to another. Sister didn't chased me. Instead, she chased Norman. Then Norman stand on the top of the huge rock. Sister Krone Can't catch him. Good job Norman.
I jump from the tree and approach sister Krone. "Times up". I said while Pat her back. Me and Ray said it in the same time. Then i smirked. " It's our win sister~". I said that with full of pride.
When we're back some of the kids cheering us. Then Norman started the discussion." We're gonna have escape in a small team...". Be started explaining, until i heard,
"Of course before Eri's shipment."
Then i take a glance of them, then sigh. " You guys haven't give up huh...". Then Emma smiled widely." Of course not!". With a cheerfull voice.
Facepalm i am .
