9] Let's Play A Game Of Tag

実行するか、そうでなければ...

"Why? What?" Ray questioned

"I want to become friends with everyone! Let's play a game of tag!" Sister Krone suggested, clasping her hands together

"Did she come just to get in our way? Or maybe to investigate us?" Ray whispered

I smiled fakily at sister Krone "No worries, she won't be able to find anything" I told Ray

"Were just playing a game of tag, a bit of a complicated one. She can't do anything to stop our fun" Norman added

"This is our chance! A chance to get to know our enemy!" Emma said excitedly

"Yep, that's right" Ray answered

{We're all just testing the waters right now}

"The time limit is 20 minutes. I will be it. Everybody, make sure you get away from me!" I don't know if it was just me but I saw her grin so evilly/mischievously

She counted to ten as we ran, I figured the best spot for me was just to hop and swing on branches(you are very used to climbing, swinging on branches)

"Let's see, how will the enemy move?" I questioned them, sitting on a branch, swinging my legs a bit

"We're playing with this many children but she gave herself a time limit of 20 minutes. She'll probably come looking for us first. She must be targeting us, the five oldest children. Her plan must be to find us first, and then go find the rest of our siblings along the way" Norman explained

I couldn't help but feel she would change her plans midsecond

Tch, she's been trapping the younger kids, and she's been able to get Nat, Anna and Thoma, this woman...

"Emma!!! Y/n!!!" Emma and I ran and she gave me a glance to take sherry as she took Phil, I followed and did it

"Quiet!" Emma said as the two little kids did as told and Sister Krone kept following us with a smirk

We hid behind a rock covering our mouth

"Emma, Y/n, you two must be exhausted from carrying those two around! You'd have to rest or you wouldn't be able to keep running, would you? I doubt your used to being chased like this either. Did you know? Norman's weak point is stamina. I heard that he's had a weak physique since he was young. Ray's Achilles heel, is that he gives up a little too early. He makes up his mind fast, and is also fast to abandon it all"Sister Krone said with a smile walking around in circles behind us

"Y/n, your weakness is that you let others control you quite easily. You're also a bit absent-minded" Sister Krone said, I tilted my head to the right

{I'm not absent-minded, plus I don't even let people control me!}

"To add things up, you're quite naive. And Emma, yours... Is your naivety. You're so overly optimistic that you'd also attempt to take others with you when you should be focusing on saving yourself, something like Y/n" Sister Krone said

Emma gritted her teeth, she hated being called naive and I knew it, I held her hand with a gentle smile

"Come on, it's time to give up! I won't do anything bad to you" She said, I gave Sherry to Emma

I headed up the tree and listened to what sister had to say

"If it was you two who saw the "goods" on that day, then I am on your side" Sister Krone explained

{Goods? Did she actually say it?}

"Found you"

Sister Krone had found Emma, Phil and Sherry as I went to look for Ray and Norman

8 minutes and 40 seconds remaining...

Norman, Ray and I ran in a straight line with Sister Krone following our trails

Ray pointed two fingers at Norman direction and he nodded, he then grabbed my hand and went to the opposite direction

We kept running "Why are we still running?" I asked and he just stopped and turned to me with his watch out

I peeked at his watch "2 minutes left" We said in unison

We look at each other and started running towards Norman's direction

We reached them, Norman was on a huge rock staring at Sister Krone who was below/infront of him

Sister Immediately turned in the wrong direction as Ray grabbed her shoulder

"Times up" Ray said

"It's our win, sister" Ray smirked, Norman crouched down with a smile while I clasped my hands together like how Sister Krone did

~

We went back as Little kids rushed to us

"You won?! You really won?!" The kids chattered as we had won the game

"We're gonna have to escape in small teams. The teams will be split so that everyone in each group will be able to make up for each other's weaknesses" Norman explained

"But we also found Tha answer to our main question today" Ray said

"Yeah. We're capable of sneaking up behind her. Our first target is the sister. I don't think it will be impossible to kill her"Norman said a dark cloud appearing over his face
