MUTE: I'm Fine ||The Promised Neverland Ray x Reader||

Chapter 13

(Lots of dialogue from TPN, you can skip if you want.)

Third Person's Point of View

Many weeks have passed since then and you did everything you can to do your new plan along with Gilda and Don, and Emma, since, the plan is to not let Isabella know anything.

All of you trained the kids, prepare foods and ropes and such while maintaining your attitude.

The time was so fast for you that it is now the day, or more of the night, before Ray's birthday.

"Hmm~ mmn~ "

As Emma and you walk towards the dining area, the two of you heard Ray humming.

'That lullaby... '

"Ray, " Emma called as she entered the dining room, you remained standing outside as they started talking, "What are you doing at this hour? "

"It's my last night, so I'm saying goodbye to the House. "

You peeked inside from the little gap at the door and saw him leaning on the table

"Ray, it's your birthday tomorrow, right? "

"That's right, tonight's the last night. Tomorrow, it's goodbye. "

"Hey, Emma... Did you really give up? You actually haven't given up, have you? Emma."

"Since it's night time, no one will be in the forest. " Ray said,  "No one will die. "

You smiled as you remembered the exact line that he said before...

"So instead of tomorrow, let's run away tonight, right now... Can you do it, Emma? "

"..."

"Don't worry, this place is the farthest distance away from everyone's rooms.  They can escape before the fites get to them. They've trained to run in formation through tag, right? Or is your leg still... "

"Don't worry! " Emma then stomped her feet.

"Then it's decided. "

"Ray, "

"But you know, Emma... To tell you the truth, I'm still against the idea of taking everyone, especially after hearing there's a cliff beyond those walls. "

"Even if you two do take some, it should only be Don and Gilda. You should at least leave the babies behind, for their sake and for yours too... But you won't listen even if I stop you and it's better than having you stay behind and not escape.. So I won't say anything more... You decide. "

After pouring the fuel on the place, Ray then drop the can as they talk...

"That's why starting a fire won't be enough. If we don't stop Mom, then we won't have any chances of escaping from her, but don't worry... " your eyes widen when you saw Ray grabbed the can of fuel and slowly opened it, "I just have to do this. "

'N-no... '

Your body stiffens as you stared at the liquid pouring down on Ray's head to toe.. It was like you were struck by a lightning and yiu couldn't walk nor speak...

"R-ray?! "

"Isn't this the greatest? The perfect scorer with the set shipment date will burn uo. She won't be able to abandon me... I've been waiting for this day. I decided thid a long time ago. Many, many years ago. "

*Ding*

*Ding*

*Ding*

'Many... many y-years ago...? '

You started remembering what happened the night many years ago... How the monster killed your sibling.. How Mama just stood beside and obeying those monsters...

You stumbled backwards and fall on the ground. You started gasping as you held your head tightly while stopping yourself from remembering what happened before.

'N-no... no... It will not happen again...'

Suddenly, a hand tap your shoulders. You gasped and quickly looked back and saw Lani and Thoma.

"Thank you, Bye-bye Emma... Say goodbye to (Y/n) for me. "

"Nice catch. "

"You–!"

"Sorry but I'm not going to let you die. Not me, nor the other children and for her."

"The other children? Her? "

After Lani and Thoma comforted you, they quickly knock on the door and Emma opened it.

"I brought what you asked for, Emma. "

"And everyone's already good to go. "

"Thanks, Thoma. Lani...", Emma said, "Where's (Y/n)?"

"She's there... " Thoma said and pointed at you, Emma noticed your eyes falling with tears.

"(Y/n)... Let's go? "

"Y-yeah.. " you whispered and slowly stood up, you were about to fall again but you quickly fixed your posture and wiped your tears...

All of you came inside the dining area. You glanced at Ray but then looked away quickly, "(Y-y/n)..."

You avoided his stare and frown.

"Okay, Ray. Get changed. "
