"You have to escape from here Norman!" Emma yelled. We were currently at the uh infirmary(?). The four of us gathered to discuss about Norman's shipped out date. The three of us agreed at what Emma said and so we planned something.

The next day we started our plan. We gave Norman the device that could switch off the tracker in our ear made by Ray. The plan was to help Norman escaped alone. But then, when the afternoon came, Norman came back. We were shocked and when we asked why, he answered that beyond the wall was a cliff. Anybody wouldn't be able to cross that.

Today was the day Norman would get shipped out. So I made a sudden plan on my own. I went to Mama's office and knocked 3 times. "Come in." She said from behind the door. I opened the door and saw Mama  was writing something. "What do you want sweetie?" She asked while smiling. I then offered her a deal. "Hey Mama, how about you switch me with Norman?""and why would I do that?" She asked back. "Cause I know how to escape from here. I checked it from on top of the wall and I found an escape route. How about you ship me out and that would make the plan failed. Isn't that a great deal? I was the mastermind behind the escape plan after all, I already planned an escape since I was three."

"Hmm.. insteresting. So what you're saying is that if I ship you out, you won't tell the others your escape plan, is that right?"

"Yes, and if you think that I don't have one, you're wrong. I definitely have one. Well even if you're not willing to. I will escape from here alone, then you'll be in trouble and then I guess you'll die."

"And why should I trust you?"

"I swear to God that I havent told them. Because I never really sure. But now I am after I remembered the scenery after Norman reminded me. There is one possible way to escape. And only I know it. You can keep me here the whole time until the time you told me to pack my things." I said.

Well long story short, I successfully convinced her. Then the night came, that's when Mama gathered us an hour before the ship out. "Well I'm sorry kids but unfortunately for Norman, I read the wrong order. The one who get shipped out tonight is Irish, not Norman. So sorry Norman, and Irish, please pack up your things." Everyone gasped because this never happened before. I nodded my head then went to the bedroom leaving the others. That's when Ray, Don, Gilda, Norman, Emma approached me.

"Irish, care to explain?" Ray started angrily, fear was visible on his face. "I convinced her to switch Norman with me." I told them. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!" Norman yelled. "WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!"
I smiled at them and said "well this is the least I can do for you guys. Please let me do this, Norman is the mastermind and we can't lose him, can we? It's my choice, I chose this." I said as I hold back my tears, of course I was scared. I then left them speechless. I started walking to the door and when I passed Norman, I whispered "do your plan Norman, I know you have a plan, please do it for me kay?"

"I love you guys, and I always will, even in my death. Please escape from here, all of you, this is my last wish, thank you for the time I spent here and sorry if I ever do anything wrong to you guys, farewell." I smiled for the last time before closing the door. After taking a few turns, I collapsed on the floor, crying. Then someone came in front of me. "Irish-nee-chan? What happened?" A cute voice asked me. I looked up and saw my favorite little bro, Phill. He then hugged me as soon as he saw me crying. "Don't cry, you'll make me cry too." He said as he was about to cry. I smiled at his innocence and hugged him back. "It's okay, I just don't want to be separated with you guys." I broke the hug and kissed his forehead then rubbed his cheek. "I love you Phill, take care of the other kids for me okay?" He hold my hand while crying and nodded his little head. "Let's go." I said.

I then stood up and went to the front door, holding Phill's hand. Everybody had gathered there including the 5 older kids. Most of them cried, the others were holding back their tears, some of them hugged me. Then suddenly Emma jumped at me and was about to use the device to switch off my tracker. I pushed her hand in time and we both fell to the floor. "Why?" She desperately asked as she cried. I smiled at her and touched her forehead with mine then I hugged her. I didn't say anything then stood up and helped Emma to stand up. "Goodbye guys, I love each one of you!" I smiled. "Wait!" Norman yelled as he grabbed my wrist. "You can't just do that to us Irish! You can't.." he frowned as tears escaped from his eyes. I pushed back his hand and smiled. I hugged him for the last time. "Goodbye Norman."

I turned my back at them and Mama opened the door for me. Before I went out, I glanced back at where the black haired boy was, the boy I loved so much. His expression was the most painful one I'd ever seen. "I love you." I mouthed the words to him then I closed the door. As I was walking side by side with Mama, footsteps could be heard from behind me. When I turned to where the footsteps came from, a pair of arms hugged me. It was Ray. "No no no no,this must be a dream. You're not going anywhere, tell me Irish... this is just a nightmare right? A dream that will soon gone as soon as I wake up!" He kept repeating that words as he was trembling. Tears fell from my eyes despite the smile i was keeping. I lifted his chin to face me. "You really are something." I said. "Why? WHY IRISH?" He yelled. I didn't answer his questions and kissed his cheek. We hugged for a minute until I broke his hug then said "Goodbye Ray, it's nice knowing you. Thank you for everything, and sorry." I said "I'm sorry I can't keep our promises, please know that I will always be with you. I will always love you."

Even Mama found it touching, it definitely reminded her of her beloved one, Leslie. He then collapsed to the grass crying as he covered his face with his hands. "Let's go Mama." I said, if I stayed any longer and saw Ray's desperate face, I was sure I would regret my choice. She nodded and continued walking beside me, leaving Ray behind. Suddenly Ray shouted desperately "IRISH!! PLEASE!" That made me stopped in my track. I really really wanted to go back and hug him, but I couldn't. I couldn't stay any longer. "Let's hurry up Mama." I said as I wiped the tears on my face. She nodded and so we continued walking.

When we reached the gate, the demons were already there. And before they could pierce the flower to my heart, I said something. "You know Mama, despite everything you've done, I never want to hate you nor kill you. Thank you for everything Mama, it's great to be alive." She widened her eyes and then smiled "Glad to hear that." She said, I knew for sure she was holding back her tears because her voice began to sound broken, full of sadness. We shared a smile then the demons pierced the flower onto my heart.

'You better live till the end, Ray'

Bonus:

"Weird, this is the first time someone didn't scream but smiled when we pierced the flower. Well even though it's not supposed to be hurt." One of the demon said. "It's because she didn't regret her choice till the very end, for the sake of her family." Mama said as tears escaped from her eyes. "Well she's a weird one, well what ever, this one smells yummy, she's one of the top after all." The other demon said as it licked it's lips. "Let's keep going."
