"Okay that is enough children, go outside and play. Mama's going to talk to sister krone for a moment." mama said with a smile then look towards the older kids
"I'll take it from here norman. You kids go outside and play as well, you've earned it."
"YES!!!" don shouted
"Finally! We get to play now." gilda said
As they said this, some of the kids started to drag the two to go play with them, while us four were asked to play as well but we pulled out the "We need to do something first, we'll play later, okay?" excuse and left to go to the woods

"Rats!" norman exclaimed punching the tree
"Things aren't looking great for us..." he added
"She also moved into that room as well." ray said
"Right in the middle of all our rooms in the second floor." emma said
"Well, its not that bad. I mean we now know where the trackers are and we got a new informant from the outside and come on even if we knew that was going to happen, we couldnt do anything to stop it." I said
"Harley... What did you say?" norman looked at me shocked
"What? The one were we couldnt do anything?" I asked pleading confused
"No, before that." norman said
"That we got a new informant from the outside?"
"And?" ray joined in
"And we know were the trackers are?"
"You know were the trackers are?" emma asked
"Yeah, I know where it is. Didnt you atleast checked her for any cuts or lumps, when I gave her to you, norman?" I asked pleading confused again
"No, I couldnt check her because mama was watching our every move." norman said
"So? Where is it?" ray asked
"Its in our left ear." I said
The three touchwd the back of their left ear and felt a small lump
"She's right. Its so small, you wouldnt even notice it, when your not looking for it." ray said
"This... Is a needle mark... From the blood test doctors perform on us before we came here, to make sure that we we're all healthy. I just remembered mama saying that a long time ago. I didnt even think of that was a possibility..." emma said looking shocked at the revelation
"Its fine. You were young back then." norman said trying to comfort her
"Yeah! No use crying over spilt milk. We know where the trackers are now. Thats one problem solved." ray said
"Now we need to know where those two came from." emma said
"Right." I said
"Carole is a replacement for connie... In other words, they've restocked the farm's supply." norman said
"Agreed. There must be a some sort of source that those demons are either producing or abducting their supply of 1yr olds from." ray said
"Does that mean all of us came from the same source?" emma asked
"Probably." I said
"Thats where the lady must be from too." ray said
"Our biggest clue that we got right now, is that there are other adults other than mama out there. Perhaps there are other multiple farms just like this one out there." norman said
"Were these adults born into serving those demons? Or were they abducted by the demons from a normal human society? Even a small difference like that will make a huge difference in the world were up against." norman added
"Or mama was like us and got to the age of 12 where she was about to be shipped off but got spared instead?" I said making the trio look at me in confusion
"What do you mean?" emma asked
"What I mean is that maybe mama was like us... Maybe she was a high quality product like us but given a choice to be a mama when she was about to be shipped off.. I mean, she and the lady wears a dress the covers their necks, we have numbers on our necks. She takes care of us, the oldest girls help take care of the babies." I said
The three looked at me stunned at the new idea of mama being like us
"It could be a possibility." emma said
"It could be the best assunotion we've got." norman said
"If that were the case, then the world was changed even longer than 30years ago. Making the worst case scenario even more likely to happen." ray said
"But why would mama do what she does?" emma asked trying to understand why she is doing this
"Survival." ray said
"What?" emma asked looming at ray confused
"She did it to survive longer." ray said
"She either found out about it to late and just accepted then became a mama or..." ray looked towards where the direction of the wall is at "She found something beyond the wall that made her give up." ray said
"To summarize our current situation right now into 2 points. 1.) The adults are our key to the outside world. 2.) Mama is being weird." ray pointed out
"What?!" emma asked while norman and I were nodding our heads
"But wouldnt you agree? Think about it. Though indirect, she keeps trying to intimidate us and not just once or twice, she's done it multiple times! Something definetly is up. If she knows all our plans then why doesnt she just hurry up and find us." ray said
"If she tried, she should be able to but she must have a reason that she either cant or intentionally doesnt." norman said
"What's the reason?" emma asked
"I have no idea." norman said
"But that's pretty much all there is to us not knowing how to predict mama's next move. Understanding her reasons are our top priority right now." ray said
I looked at the position of the sun and saw that it was going to be lunchtime soon
"Guys! Lets go, its about to be lunch. We dont want mama getting even more suspicious of us. Lets continue this tommorow, we still have chires to do this afternoon and we need to rest for the night." I said
The three nodded and of we went back to the house
