"THE ESCAPE AT NIGHT🌃"

CVII.
~:•:~

May's POV:

"What are you suddenly talking about, Locket??" I heard Keyboard from behind me but I didn't mind him and sneakily and silently just trodded my way up the stairs after those men.

Dawn and Keyboard only followed after me. I peeked by the stairs and saw the men slamming the doors despite this darkened place because only the peeking, dimmed rays from the holes and cracks on the walls and roof coming from the moon is faintly lighting this mansion at present.

"SHOW YOURSELF, BOY~"

"WE KNOW YOU ARE HERE~!!"

"YOU SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT YOUR OLD MAN WITH YOU, LITTLE ZOAN~!! EHEHEHE."

I heard them utter those words and I clenched my fists on my sides being irritated with their voices and for uttering that word.

How come are they saying Zoan?? And they were talking about a treasure?? A family that came in this province?? And-

"ZOAN BOY!! DON'T HIDE IN THE SHADOWS~!"

Hearing that along with the sound of another smashing on door breaking it open, I saw how they quickly searched inside each of the rooms here in the second floor and it made me grit my teeth already.

"Do they know him???" I unknowingly uttered out and I heard another shout from the five men.

"Who?? Do you know who they are calling out as Zoan boy??" Keyboard's voice crept in my ear and I rolled my eyes from him and returned them to the men that Dawn is the next one to have spoken.

"May, i- is it Ash that they are pertaining to?? But why a-are they sounding furious as if he offended them or something that is related to that family that we ha- have heard them say???" Dawn stuttered along her statement and I kept my sight on the five men until they have entered in the last room.

I sneakily went my way towards it quickly and hid at the doorway from outside hearing them from the inside.

"We know you're here~ Just show yourself~"

"Dol, the wardrobe~"

I peeked by the doorpost and one man was supposed to walk to that wardrobe and I was about to attack already because I felt like doing so already but someone just pulled me and brought me under a small table nearby.

There was also this noise that came from another room as a window that has been smashed broken that the men quickly ran out from the room and went to check where the noise came from. The person who suddenly grabbed me let me go when he 'shhh' me putting his index finger on his lip that I only narrowed my gaze on him and he lightly lifted the cloak that hid his face before he hid his face again.

"What do you think are you doing, Keyboard???" I interrogated him getting a bit annoyed with him for suddenly dragging me and preventing me from attacking.

"Then what do you think are you doing, Locket??" I heard him that made me raise my eyebrow being displeased with his reply. "I thought we came here for Ash so don't do any unneccessary actions that might lead to danger~"

"LIKE WHAT DO YOU CARE??! And where is Dawn???" I argued but not loud enough to echo and catch the attention of those men who we heard are still searching from the other room.

"Take this~ Don't let them know who you are~ Dawn is safe and in hiding..." Keyboard said and he placed a cloak over my head that I quickly grabbed it but I only chose to wear it even it was from him.
