Krone

Norman P.O V.

"Join forces?" Gilda asked and i started walking forwards.

"It's fine guys you don't need to worry. We'll hear you out."

Y/n's P.O.V(that first part was more of a recap cuz I haven't updated in so long sry.)

I looked out the barred window towards the field outside. Sister Krone was playing with the kids while us 7 oldest were inside talking. Krone was throwing kids up in the air. I narrowed my eyes studying her before I turned back and faced Emma.

"She was one of us too. Yet she does this just so she can have a better life." Emma said disgusted, "What a monster, she doesn't care whether any of the kids here live or die at all!"

Gilda looks over at Emma confused," She said she wont ship us though?"

"What she meant was she can't." Norman said and I nodded.

"Sister's don't have that power unless they have evidence on paper, which she doesn't she only has her word." I say clarifying that she can't. Norman nods at me glad for the information even if he already assumed it.

"If she really wanted us to escape she would have quietly helped us. She's showing us her cards only because she wants to gain our trust." Norman said the light coming from the window casting shadows over his face. 

"And the trust is for evidence like Y/n said?" Don questioned and Norman and I nodded. "Wait but what if she finds the rope hidden in the tree!"

"It's fine we can make various excuses for the rope like we were going to use it for a game." Norman says and my eyes widen in the realization that if she finds our one irreplaceable tool the tracking device we were done for.

"We are doomed if she finds the equipment that breaks the tracking devices." Ray says speaking my thoughts exactly and I nod my face serious.

"That would be hard to explain and the tools we used to make it are irreplaceable so we can't let her find it." I say my eyebrows scrunched thinking of ways to avoid this. Don and Gilda gasp their eyes going wide realizing how bad that could be. "if she finds it things will be worst case scenario."

"But don't worry Y/n and I won't let that kind of mistake happen. Besides I haven't finished making it anyway." Ray says before turning to me and hitting me on top of my head, "Stop scaring them."

I turned and stuck my tongue out at him and rub my head where he it me. it actually really didn't hurt I was just being dramatic.

"That won't be an issue if we can convince her that we don't know how to break them or where they are." Norman says and I look at him and pinch between my eyes.

"Except it wont be that easy. She will be able to tell if you lie. Even I can tell when you lie." I say and he lets out a sigh of defeat.

"but we can try I'm sure she would believe us if we play our cards right." Norman says and I shake my head in disbelief wondering if he understood a word I just said. Gilda looks at Emma and Norman sad her shoulders slumped.

"Are you really going to her room. I mean it's Sister Krone we're dealing with. I-its nice she offered to give information but-"

"Hang on," Don cuts Gilda off, "why are we cooperating with her will it even give us an advantage?"

"If we use her well we might be able to obtain information." Norman says and I sigh.

"You know I have about the same information she does the only difference is that she's been in headquarters." I say and Norman looks at me his eyes still full of hope and calculations.
