Reader's POV

I took a deep breath, still rushing.
If I made it fast enough... I could find them.

I got a glimpse of them and I rushed forward to them.

They went underground.
I took a deep breath, holding my stomach.

I knew where they were.
I could catch my breath.

"No... Yuugo, Y/n, and Lucas...dead?"
I heard.

"They went like heroes. They protected us until the end,"
I heard Oliver say.

No... I'm alive.

I was holding myself up against the wall as I tried to get to them.

Then, I heard Gillian's cries.
That only made more tears roll down my face.

I took a breath.
I was there.

They were all crying.
Paula was holding onto Gillian as she cried.

I frowned, but I was soon noticed.

"Y/n..."
Oliver muttered as he came over to me, tears rolling down his face.

He hugged me tightly and I tried my best to do so back.

"Y/n!!"
They all cried, rushing over to me.

I just knew I was surrounded by them, all crying.
I stayed in Oliver's arms, crying as well.

Zack helped bandage me up.
He winced once he saw the bullets.
Yeah the vests didn't seem to work much...

Nigel stayed in front of me, letting my grip onto his arm when Zack would take a bullet out and I would almost scream.

(Okay, you're not naked, don't worry xD
The back of your shirt is ripped and well, they kinda have to help unless you want bullets in your back forever)

"Y/n... can you tell us what happened?"
Gillian asked softly.

I took a deep breath.
"Yuugo... he pushed me inside of a closet before the whole place went boom due to some stupid gas,"
I muttered.

Violet was bandaging my head, a frown on her face.

"I'm so sorry... you had to see all of that."
Emma muttered.

I gave a simple, forced smile.

I sighed, frowning as I felt the blood pour down my back while Zack and Paula hurried to bandage me.

Once I was all bandaged, they gave me space to rest.

Ray and Oliver sat on either side of me.
Yvette and Jemima were tempted to come as well, but I knew they didn't want to hurt me.

I rested my head on the wall.

"I'm so glad you're okay... well, alive,"
Ray muttered.

I smiled.
"Thank Yuugo and Lucas for that... but I'm glad as well... I get to see you and everyone else again,"
I said.

Ray took a deep breath, hugging me gently.

"I wouldn't... I don't know what I'd do if I lost you,"
He told me.

"Ray..."
I muttered.

"You don't have to say anything. I'm just glad you're here,"
He told me.

A few minutes later, he stood up. And now Oliver was taking care of me.

He let me rest my head on his shoulder.
I didn't mind, anything that I could find as a pillow would help.

"Look at that."
Ray then said,pointing to a dead owl

"What is it, Ray?"

"That's an owl, right?"
Nigel said.

"No, look closely. It's a camera."
Ray said, and it was.

"How could that man find this place so fast? How did they know about the shelter– even the blind spots of our cameras? The answer lies before you,"
Ray said.

I tried hard to listen to what he was saying, but I was falling asleep.

I hadn't gotten sleep since... the deaths, only small five minute naps.

"So this thing pinpointed the position of our cameras and followed our escape to the hideout, too."
Pepe said.

"Probably yes."
Ray said.

"This place is finished, too.
We have to abandon it right away."
He continued.

"It's unlikely the enemy only has one camera... and even if they do, in all likelihood the Ratri Clan already knows about this hideout."
Sonya added.

"But with the shelter gone, if we lose this hideout, too. Where are we supposed to live? There's no where we could..."
Gilda muttered.

"We'll be forced to wander random, then."
Nat said.

"Oliver."
Emma called out.

"Right. Look everybody.
This is the final phone call, the one Lucas recieved."
Oliver started, showing a paper. I looked at it but didn't say anything, my eyes dropping

"So Minerva might still be alive?"
"No, we can't know that yet."

"Yeah, maybe it's a survivor of the supporters."
Nat said.

"A friend...!"

"Well... but we'll have to make another journey."
Gillian said.

"We lost the shelter and now this..."
"They took our homes, family, Lycas and Yuugo..."
"Damn it... I hate it! Nowhere in the world can we just live in peace...!"

"Right. There's not.
Whatever it is, we'll change the world in two months.
Together we can do it! We're doing it!
For the sake of Yuugo and Lucas, too!"
Emma started.

"For all of that, we'll go again and again! As long as there's will, we can go anywhere!
Everybody, let's all go to this place they called for us– all of us!"
She finished and I smiled.

{ Yeah... we can. For Lucas and Yuugo... and Norman... Phil and everyone else. }

Oh thank god. I'm so tired.
Goodnight guys, this is probably all I'm doing today.
It's about to be 2am for me...

I know, I'm weak.
