Swallowed in the sea

Good dreams...hold tight

Author's note: So...this chapter turned into a super long angst chapther without me even noticing, so please if you are not comfortable with depicts of violence and blood, this chapter might not be the best 

I'm going to apologize in advance for killing a character * panic triggers Ahhh * but I did felt like it was needed for Norman's character development and to stick a little bit to the Promised Neverland original story line from the manga  

So...prepare your tissues and good luck my readers 

* I'm so sorry, really * T-T

" Ok so...let's review the plan - Norman pointed out into the lab's map he drew based on his space memory of the local - first, the enter from here cuz this part of the roof is exactly above where Ray should be so, have you prepared the flame-throwers Oliver? " 

" Yeah, all the flame devises are ready! Me and Zack are going to do it as quick as possible! " Oliver assured Norman as Zack got the weapons ready 

" All, right! Based on that Gilda and Don told us, Ray should be in there so we need to go into the wall away make sure that Vincent or Isabella aren't there and attach the devise Gilda and Don placed on the thank to get him out! Will you come with me, Nigel and Gillian?" 

" But of course, we'll make sure you are protected and shoot any bastard that might appear! Nigel already prepared everything to attach the thank to the helicopter right? " Gillian said with a playful smile as Nigel showed off in a funny way all the cables he placed in the helicopter

" What about you, Lucas, Violet? What are you going to do? " Oliver asked as Lucas turned his hand to face him - he looked quite pensive...was he overthinking? 

" We are going to secure the hallway and make sure anyone break into the room as you attach the thank right, Lucas? That's the least we can do!" Violet said with her usual brute yet confident way as Lucas noodle peacefully at Norman 

" And that's more than enough guys, Don and Gilda left everything ready so I just have to go in s do it! Please make sure that after you finish the mission you rescue Don and Gilda that will be next to the coffeehouse! That's all! Any douts? " 

How ironic, Norman tought, the one with more douts in that room as him and he felt his hands trembling. He sure had already escaped from that place, but now it was almost as asking the government to catch him: the criminals should not appear twice at the same spot and he knew that 

Still, Ray, Emma's brother, which absence hurted her so much was right here. Maybe, he was trying to be a hero and save not only Emma but every mermaid in the lab but still... 

Don't try to be a hero 

Those were Yuugo's words and he knew too well his own limitations. So, when everyone was ready to go and Norman's clock marked 5 am. in the morning he turned to tell to shout his last order for that mission. He couldn't afford to-

" Listen up everyone! You are all forbidden to die! If you die I'll never forgive you guys!" Norman screamed with all his voice, smiling at the sight of the rising dawn on their backs. That legacy sure was the best, you stupid Yuugo 

" Yeah...death that bitch won't take us today! You can start burning everything up, Oliver, Zack!" 

As Gillian gave the permission, Oliver and Zack used the flame-towers to sold the lad's roof top that was already opened from inside ( thanks to Don and Gilda's work at the previous nigh ) As the roof melted and the insides of that terrific place showed up, Norman felt oddly attracted to those flames
