«Prologue»

I've always wondered what was beyond that gate, greeting us from the inside of a haven my family and I have become familiar with. The day I found out the fate of every person in my home, my views of this world plummeted...

*Flashback: Five years ago*

"(Y/N), go check where mama is. She's taking longer than usual to drop Mina off." Ray said, as he stood by the window, looking for Mama. 

"Awww, why can't you go?" I groaned, sitting on the dining table and kicking my legs.

"Pleeeease?" Ray begged mockingly on his two knees and hands together.

I dragged my tired body to the gate, separating the world from us, and that's when I saw mama and her.

"I swear I heard movement around here." The demon said in a deep, growling voice.

"I'm sure the rest of the children are inside the house as we speak." Mama stated, watching the demon's back.

I scurried away, silent as a mouse, towards the opposite side of the vehicle, away from the demon and mama. As the demon's footsteps softened, I took my chance and left before it was too late...

*flashback end*

I know what is beyond that gate, greeting us from the inside of a death trap my family and I have become familiar with. The day I found out the fate of every child in this home, my brain got to work...
