Chapter 28

After the others were taken back to the underground jail, I followed Gun back to the barn. On the way back, I could hear people cussing out the others.

"Why would they come here of all places? Shitty weapons."

"All they do is cause problems for everyone. They probably aren't even human."

"Why didn't we just kill them? Chances are that they would have reincarnated somewhere else. Then they would be someone else's problem."

The whispers became louder and louder once they knew everyone felt the same. There was not one person defending them.

I inches closer to Gun and he kept me by his side.

I was scared that if anyone knew what I was, that I would be treated the same. Or worse.

We made it inside the barn and I sat next to the sheep surrounding the bed.

I looked up at Gun who had taken his helmet off.

"What's going to happen now?" I asked

He sighed and said "Chances are that your sister and friends will work under the leaders and guards against their will. Unless they escape somehow, they're stuck here until their final breaths."

"Is there any way I can speak to them?" I asked

"It's too risky. I can probably send them a message if you'd like"

I tried thinking of a plan to get us out of this place.

"How long until they'll be separated?" I asked

"Probably until tomorrow afternoon. They need to make arrangements on how they'll separate them."

"Then…we need to do this tonight." I said "A daytime breakout is too complicated so night time is best."

"Do you have a plan?"

I nodded. "Do you have paper?"

He moved to the other side of the barn where he kept a desk and grabbed a sheep of paper and a small pencil.

"Here. I use this to write letters to my mother but you can use it to write to your friends" he said and handed me the pencil and paper.

"Thanks" I said and started writing.

After I finished, I folded the paper and handed it to Gun.

"Don't open it. Give it directly to my sister" I instructed

He nodded and left the barn.

I sat and waited until he went underground. I worried that he had gotten caught because he was stopped by someone but they let him in. After a few minutes, I rummaged through Guns things and prepared for my master plan.

I walked out of the barn and towards the underground jail when I was stopped by a figure in a cloak.

"Who are you?" I asked and held my arm out.

They pulled their hoods down. It was the third leader.

He looked around and pulled me close.

"You want to set them free, don't you?" He asked

"N-no! Why would-"

He covered my mouth and handed me a key.

"Take this and leave." Is all he said and left.

I didn't know what that was all about. Nor did I want to ask questions right now. All I knew was that I had they key and I had to hurry.

I rushed downstairs towards the jail cells.

I found the one with Cielo's sister and opened the gates.

A mass of light blue hair came barreling towards me and knocked me to the ground. Their hands pushed against my neck and I couldn't breathe.
