Looks of shock and surprise appear on the faces of the people in the area because the tone Charles used was packed with emotions, something they were never used to hearing him do.But one person in the room; Nero sighs, then says, "Charles if a bunch of humans escape what do you think will happen to the beastkin responsible? If you consider how prideful they are it is all but guaranteed that the people who let such insignificant beings escape would be killed."Charles says, "So then you knew Dónal would be killed if we tried to escape."Getting up, I face Charles and say, "Of course I did. Now please tell me what's wrong with it?"Confused Charles says, "Dónal will die!""Why would that be any of my business?""Because he is our friend!""I HAVE NEVER ONCE CONSIDERED HIM A FRIEND!" I shout a Charles bringing him to silence.His hands shake a bit, so I continue, "Nero for the last four years I have been only even talking to that man to get information to help our escape. The truth of t
-Break-Walking outside the hut, I say, "It seems the sun has fallen, I should go and check up on everyone before I head to bed myself.""That sounds like everything has gone alright then," I hear a voice to the left of me say.Turning to my left, I see Mariana who is standing with a smile. "Better than I had expected. Charles really is much more mature than I give him credit for.""But considering how long it took you it must have been a long conversation?""No really, the actual talking part took a very small amount of time, what made it go on for so long was Charles crying. I had to stay there until he fell asleep."With a confused, Mariana says, "Ehh, isn't that incredibly childish."Erratic, I say, "No it was mainly crying! You just wouldn't understand.""Well I am fine with some secrets being forever unknown to me, now it is time for me to go to sleep."As Mariana walks past Nero, he start to become jittery like he is about to do something but keeps stopping himself. But then he
-Break-Location: Animal pensAs we approach the animal pens I see everyone from the campsite. Then when we arrive in front of them, I say, "It wasn't nice to abandon me!"Edward says, "I called you multiple times but you were so lost in your own thoughts that you just blocked me.""So I came to get you," Charles says."Well, so what are we supposed to do no-," I pause for a moment as I realize something, Mariana is standing there even more beautiful than ever.Upon seeing me she hides behind Sandra and says, "Don't look at me!""Why?""The groom isn't supposed to see his bride until the ceremony.""That makes no sense, my parents were always together from the moment he proposed till they drank the other's blood.""Well that's not how we do things on my island, and what do you mean they drank each other's blood are your people demons!""That's simply how we showed our love! But I don't want to talk about that because you look amazing right now."Mariana hides behind Sandra, and says,
-Break-Location: CampsiteΦ With joy in their hearts and defended by the night, the members of the campsite return to their area filled with joy and happiness from the events that have just taken place, ready to sleep away the rest of their day.Some say, "It has been a long time since we have had fun like that."Others say, "But now we have to go back to hell tomorrow.""Still we should be thankful to Charles for helping us get today off.""I know, I know but I am still stressed.""All we can do is simply work and then sleep off the pain until our great escape."As most of them have experienced great amounts of excitement today they plan to simply sleep the rest of the day away. But one of them is teeming with excitement as the most interesting part of his day is about to begin. Nero walks with everyone with a giant smile on his face.It is finally time! If everything goes as planned tonight will be the night I become a man.You see after the night Nero helped deliver little baby Ju
-Break-Location: Dónal's officeΦ Swinging on my chair, I say, "Today I was able to make those bastards work without throwing up. Look how far I have come, soon I will be able to tell them without feeling like I am going to die as well."Putting my hands up as I swing on the chair, I say, "I am amazing."But as I do this I start to fall back and scream, "NO!"Before I hit the floor I am stopped by something, and turning around I see Charles."How are you here?"Pushing my chair back to normal, he says, "I snuck in.""Again!""Yes!"Moving over to him, I say, "I missed you too, but please don't go around doing such dangerous things. A lot of people don't really like me, and they might try to take such things out on you.""I just wanted to tell you something.""What is it."Charles seems sort of jittery then he says, "Do the beastkin, and you're position mean a lot to you?""Why?""I was just wondering, if you were given the choice to throw it all away, the beastkin, this place, and ru
They're going to kill Dónal. I need to do something, but what?I am not strong enough to fight them, and getting closer is dangerous because if they spot me, I am dead. I could wait for Charles, but even if he was moving at top speed, it would be a least thirty minutes up and back to get the omega owl.So that begs the question what should I do?Pausing for a moment, I say, "Should I even do anything?"This whole Dónal debacle will simply make our escape easier, and knowing how prideful those beastkin our, I am sure they will have a big celebration after killing him, which just increases our chances of escape.In all honesty, we know our plan could end with him dying for his blunder of letting us escape anyway, so how is this really any different than that?Unlike Charles, Dónal means nothing to me, so this shouldn't be an issue. Suddenly imagines of my wedding flash into my mind, and from my head, I take the blue flower dowsed in Nero's blood, then say, "Dammit."-Break-Location: A
-Break-The next dayΦ Over his unconscious body, Charles waits on Nero who is visibly struggling as he sleeps. Charles doesn't know what to do, so he just sit's their and holds Nero's hand while saying, "I am sorry," over and over again.He cries, and says, "Please be okay Nero."But throughout all of his incentive cries, Nero finally opens his eyes, and says, "Charles you're being too loud."Φ Looking at me, Charles says, "Nero I am sorr-."I pat him on his head, and say, "Why aren't we at work, isn't it rather late in the day."Charles pauses for a moment, then looks down and says, "Bricriu told not one of us to leave the campsite until he returns.""Well isn't that nice of him. I guess if I am awake now I should go and check on everyone," I say getting up and walking out of the hut."Wait, there is something I need to tell you!" Charles says to me.No time to stop, I just need to move and do. All other thoughts need to cease because if they don't I won't be able to go on.As I ste
-Break-With Bricriu walking in front of me and Nero surrounded by his guards, he led them through the doors they entered.Nero faces is without life, and without thought, because any single idea he would have in this moment would be the end of him.Φ And I stare at him not knowing what I should say or do. I rack my brain, I think of something to say, but as I do the taste returns to my mouth and I stop talking to not vomit where I stand.I can still feel her, in my mouth. Stuck between the pieces of my teeth. The teeth that she told me made my smile bright.I shake as I think about what I have down, but then on my head, I feel Nero place his hand on me.Staring at him, I see that his expression hasn't changed, and he isn't even looking at me, but still, he is using his hand to comfort me. Even like that he still cares for me.Right now, I need to be strong as well.As we all exit, Bricriu says, "Well this has been quite fun spending time with you guys over the years, but that's over
