Sister Krone

---

"Meet our new family member's Sister Krone and a new sister Carol." Mom said with a smile on her face. Another adult, shit, this isn't good. She could mess up this whole plan. The baby is good because Emma could find the tracking device on her own but Sister Krone? No way this woman, the way she stands, her dark curly hair, her bright smile contrasting with her dark skin, everything about her sent shivers down my spine.

I was already in a state of panic, what child wouldn't be panicking if they had to handle all of this from behind the scenes. The smile I wore on my face never faltered it was a trick I learned from Isabella, to cover any emotion no matter what it is. I could hear Emma and Norman whispering beside me. Could they not be any more obvious?

"I'll be living here with you all from here on nice to meet you!" She said smiling down at all the children. Her smile was just as fake as mine. I could hear Isabella laugh a little while staring directly at us 6 oldest children. I glared back only for her to turn back to Carol in her arms. Ray was just chill beside me like I was. We had been doing this for years, lieing, it came naturally now. To be honest I bet both me and Ray are terrified right now.

When I saw Sister Krone wearing those clothes my mind would flash back to grandma and the other Moms. I made eye contact with the woman who was playing with the children.

"Y/n please come with me to show Sister Krone to her room." Her lavender eyes staring me down studying my reaction. My reaction happened to be completely blank. I happily smiled and walked over no hesitation and started walking down the hallway with her.

The hallways were empty besides the children that followed. "Here is your room Sister Krone." I say opening a door between the three kids bedrooms. The other kids dispersed and I followed behind the two adults. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Ray with Emma and Norman walking into the library. It's a good thing the only two adults are distracted right now.

I noticed the path we were taking, left, right, upstairs, left, ight, right, stop. We were at Moms office. I shifted my weight from my right leg to the left my smile slowly melting off my face to reveal an emotionless one. Mom opened the door and allowed both of us inside. I went over to the chair sat in the corner and I sat down looking at the two.

"Thank you for an opportunity to return to this side." Sister Krone said her hands held in front of her.

"I only made a request for an assistant. Its not like I called for you specifically." Isabella said. I rolled my eyes and proceed to cross my legs.

"I've heard a number of good things about you. The youngest to be selected as Mom and caretaker. Plus producing the highest grade merchandise among all the plants, ever." Sister Krone said while Mom walked around and stood behind me her hands on my shoulders. I hated her touch but I shouldn't act out right now.

"I have no need for lip service." Mom says plainly, "And I have no time for small talk lets get to work." I stood up and grabbed a stack of papers labeled children knowing that was probably what she needed. "Here are the documents of my adorable children. Memorize all of them right now, it should be easier than getting a perfect score each morning." 

Sister Krones eyes widened. She then proceeded to shuffle through the papers looking through papers. "Anyway what work was I called in for?"

"They found out the secret." Isabella said plainly. I wanted to laugh Krone would obviously want to ship them out so why tell her? SIster Krones face pale and she let out a gasp her arms pausing. "They also saw the truck."

"W-well according to the rules we must find them and-"

"Now hold on a second Krone they aren't going anywhere." I finally but in. I crossed my arms and glare at her.

"Now why is that, Y/n was it?" Sister Krone says. Right when I was about to say something Isabela cuts me off.

"Its fine I already have an idea of who the targets are. Likely two of the older children." Isabella explains cupping sister Krones face. "We just have to ensure they don't escape before shipment, that's what Y/n is for." yeah right i'm not going to let you control me Isabella.

"So that means Y/n knows? Didn't the paper also say she was twelve kids aren't supposed to be here past 12." Sister Krone questioned.

"Now my children are special and special doesn't even begin to describe them. That's why Y/n is training under me to become a mom. You would do well not to question me Sister Krone. This is all beneficial to the plant"

"So you're not reporting it?" Didn't Isabella say to not question her this woman is honestly insane.

"That's right I have special procedures in place and you are my guard." Isabella said staring straight at the younger woman.

"I think that's enough Isabella you're scaring the poor woman." I say in a teasing tone. If looks could kill sister Krone would have murdered me. I stand up and start walking towards the door where sister Krone stood. I move past her and grabbed the door handle waving behind me. "I should start making dinner Mom. If you need me that's where i'll be."

I left making note of Krone mischievous glint in her eye. That woman was up to no good.
