08 - TIMES UP.

【 FAITH 】

I gasped for air once I made it on time, some of the children can't keep up with me and it's hard for them to run faster than they usually do. Luckily, we won over Norman this time, me and Emma, and it somewhat makes us happy, though.

Me, Norman, and Emma together with the kids starts walking off from the forest.

"You won over Norman! That's an achievement!" Nat exclaimed while walking backwards.

"Hey, you should walk properly, we wouldn't want you to get hurt, mm?" I said and he did what I've asked. I saw Krone staring at Ray and the other kids, it made me a bit unease. The way she looks at my siblings is scary, her eyes, too!

"You two really did what Ray told you on the other day, huh," Norman spoke and held Shelly's hand. We both look at him and smile.

"Well ~" we both said in unison and ended up laughing because of a single thing. I look at Eugene who's hanging behind me.

"Woah, Eugene looks comfortable behind me, ah," I ruffled his hair and he giggled, I did the same and we all focus on our way toward Ray's position.

Me, Emma, and Norman are all looking at Sister Krone when we noticed her staring at us, she's probably up to something. I guess that Sister is not just here to watch us, she's probably suspecting us, the eldest kids in the house. I don't know if Mama asked her to do it or she's moving on her own. Knowing Mama, she wouldn't let anyone ruin her decision and plan, she might have called Sister Krone here to make sure of the security, but she didn't tell her who the kids are---uhh what is she? An underling? That might be.

"Playing tag, huh? That looks fun," I cocked a brow and look at Sister with full doubt, is she trying to challenge us or what? She's really acting weird since the day she arrived here. The way she look at us is different, is she looking for Mama's target? Mama might've told her about the kids who discovered the secrets of the house but, I don't think she already know who we are, I could think that Sister Krone is here to help Mama find the targets. But, if Mama already knew the targets, maybe she won't tell it to Sister Krone and handle us on her own instead, maybe she thought that Sister Krone will just be a hindrance to her being a Mama.

"Let me join you kids, I'll be the 'it' and all of you should run away from me," I put Eugene down and hold his hand, I received glances from Emma, Norman, and Ray but I've focused my eyes on the Sister, observing her and trying to figure out her real intentions.

"The match's time limit will be 20 minutes, so everyone...run away," Sister Krone said as she turn her back to us.

We all look at each other as we run towards the forest. Me and Emma are together while Ray and Norman went to the opposite side of our way.

"How will the enemy move?" Emma asked as we look to Sister Krone who's still counting while covering her face, we can see her from the forest since it's a mountain like, but not as high as the mountain.

"She'll probably get the little ones first, she know it will be hard for her to catch the full scorers in early game, that is...if she don't underestimate us," I answered, Emma nodded as we split our way. I run to the right side, since It's downwind, it will be easy to run in the way where the wind is blowing. I need to be swift this time, our enemy is no ordinary.
