Everything is not yet okay.
Cristy had a burning fever going on his system that must be faught with proper medicines, otherwise the kid would be dead.
"They really existed." a surprised gasp came from behind Oliver.
Hayato came forward, looking awe. He heard plenty of rumors and legends about these escapees that he couldn't start forming more appropriate words to describe what he just witnessed with the cattle children on action.
The children stared at Hayato, thoughts running similarly to the ones going on the other male's mind.
Other human beings?
Surprise, surprise, fate sure had a lot of tricks to toy them with, even with their emotions. But, introductions were cut short into simple names being said.
"Cristy's condition is worsening!" Anna worriedly exclaimed as she wraps a blanket around the boy's body.
Oliver nodded in acknowledgement before mumbling words to himself.
"It takes 3 days to get here from our base." He said sighing. "But we can get there in 10 hours through a short cut." Oliver took a moment to look over his companions.
"But that would mean were going through a bunch of demons." Ray stared at Oliver as though the boy was out of his mind but even he must be too, anything to save his sibling.
Oliver nodded again then smiled encouragingly.
"But can't we take a safer path?" Gilda said, concern lacing her voice.
Oliver hummed at her statement but he was cut short by Norman.
"We could but given cristy's condition, he won't last another day before internal infection gets to his system." The albino said to which Gilda frowned.
"You all can walk right?" Oliver asked as he led the way.
"Yes." is what came in reply.
"Good because i'm gonna need solid footing for you all to run." Oliver got cristy cradled in his arms.
"Got it!"
**********
"So whose in charge?" Ray sent a questioning look to Oliver.
"Me but not me." Oliver replied, his white hair and red streaks flowing along with cold air.
The trees are becoming thicker and taller. Although the scene was nothing new, it still bought a strange feeling for the children (minus Oliver and Hayato) knowing that they couldn't go back to the shelter they've cultivated into a home of warmth and love.
Ray gazed at the boy dumbly his expression saying 'are you gonna elaborate or do i have to take it from you?'
Oliver only smiled akwardly then said.
"I believe you knew about the supporters."
"What about them?"
"We've been infiltrating farms and mass productions in order to save childrens then taking them into our custody. We make sure they come in safe and sound, away from bloody chaos they used to experience."
The group took up a faster pace before continuing, Oliver to be specific.
"Someone makes the plan and we initiate it. We rarely make plans unless we detect trouble or something unusual that may prove being a hindrance to our future plans, namely the demons."
"And who is this person that you take plans from?" Ray yet again questioned while Norman discreetly chuckled to himself.
"That i do not know the answer but i know whoever this guy is, he must be pretty fond of morse and owls." Oliver answered, not batting an eye to Ray's peircing gaze.
