Unpredictable ~ Chapter 39.

It had been a while before I heard a thud, followed by a few others. My head whipped around to find the girls on the floor. My eyes widened as I rushed to one of them,

"Hey are you ok? Can you hear me?" I shook her but she didn't respond,

I put my ear to her nose to check if she was breathing and luckily she was.

Was there something in the tea?

Suddenly, mother came rushing in, making sure to close the door behind her, "Y/N, you must come with me." She hurried over to the wall behind me, pulling open a sliding door, which didn't even look like one.

"Mother, they all just collapsed what's going on?!" I stood up,

"They're asleep, don't worry but they'll be awake soon so hurry!" She waved me over,

My heart was racing as I took ahold of her outstretched hand and followed her out the secret door which led to some stairs,

It was hard to run in the kimono and the zori however we both made it down the stairs fairly quickly,

"Mum, was it you who sedated them?"

"Yes it was." She led me round the dark corridors, seeming to navigate through them fairly easily,

"But why?"

"You're my dearest daughter, but goodness aren't you slow!" She started, "Did you really think I was going to let you go to that evil man so easily?"

"Mum..." I wanted to cry in joy, I was free,

"Don't celebrate yet, you're still not out of here." She warned, "Here, You'll need this." She handed me the gift Shinya, Mito, Sayuri, Shigure and Goshi gave me, as well as Shinoa's,

"What is it, do you know?" I raised a confused eyebrow,

"You can check that later."

"Mother, won't you get in a lot of trouble if you get caught?" I muttered, jumping to a new topic,

"That's a risk I'm willing to take."

I skidded to a stop, "Hey, no. If that's the case I'm not going anywhere."

My mother groaned, "Don't be silly, I've been planning this before your father came to get you, do you really think I plan on getting caught?" I sighed in relief, "Come on, we're here." She turned and there was another set of stairs,

"Mind the steps." She warned,

I nodded following her.

When we reached the top, she opened another secret sliding door, which surprisingly led outside. I winced my eyes adjusting to the sudden bright light, however when my vision properly cleared I gasped in surprise.

"Please look after her."

"I will. You should hurry back."

"Of course, bye sweetheart." She kissed my cheek, before returning the way she came,

"Mum..." I felt somewhat empty, we'd just gotten close and we were parting too soon.
