(Mom is Pretty in this picture, I think I'm inlove)

"Don't worry," Isabella said with a twisted smile. "She is alright, no one will hurt her in that place," She walks towards Ray who was looking at her with a threatening expression. "You don't have to worry about her, Conny will probably survive."

Ray clenched his fist tightly when Isabella passed to him. He closed his eyes before gritting his teeth. "What will be her life in that place?" Ray asked his Mom. 

"It's an information that I will never disclose to you," Isabella told him before she went directly to her office. "By the way," She stopped walking. "Now that Conny is gone, you should never think of betraying me again, Ray."

Ray remained silent for a moment. 

He clenched his fist tightly before taking a deep breath.

"Yes... Mom..." 

Ray heard the door closed. 

He placed his hand in his pocket and started to walk from that place. He looks silent, however, there were a lot of questions circulating around his head. The truth is he is worried.

Ray went down the stairs as he immediately went to the Dining room. Ray stopped walking when he saw two people sitting on a chair. 

Emma was hugging a bunny tightly, there were tears forming in her eyes. When she heard Ray's footsteps, her eyes went up. "Ray..." she uttered. Emma immediately stands up and placed the bunny on the table. 

"Is what we saw... real?"

"Mom...Mom...and..."

"...those creatures..."

Ray halted when he heard the word 'Creatures', He went in Emma's direction. 'Could it be that Mom is lying to me?' The thought. Ray suddenly placed his hands on Emma's shoulder. "What did you see?" He asked seriously.

Emma's eyes went wide when Ray did that.

"She's alright, they did nothing to her," Norman told Ray as he remove Ray's hands from Emma's shoulder. "But we heard them talking about 'Premium Goods' and harvest. Is this what Conny talking about?" 

"Are we raised to become food? You also know about this, correct?"

Ray remained silent while staring at Norman. When he slowly nodded his head. Their faces became terrified.

"Then, Sadie... Hao...?" Emma asked in a panic. "What about Conny?! What will happen to her? are they going to kill her?" She asked. "Did she also knows about this? Why did she... why did she sacrifice herself?"

"Is it... to save Norman?"

Norman's eyes went in a daze because of realization. "To save me..." He uttered. "The reason she asked me to act sick is to save me," He went silent as he fell into deep thought. "To prevent my shipment."

"She's with those Demons," Norman said with a petrified face. "I never thought that it was that worst."

"She's not going to die!" Ray shouted. "She knows what she's doing. She better not to die," He gritted his teeth. "She said that she can trick them to bring her to another facility." Ray clenched his fist.

'I can't waste it, I have to continue the plan that I created for six years,' Ray thought.

"Then we can still save her!" Emma shouted. "We need to save her! She said that she will wait for us to save her. Let's save her!"

"We can't do that right away," Norman replied. "We need to escape first. We can only do that if we can escape," Norman glanced at his trembling hands, he cannot erase that scene in his head. It was the scene where the Demon pointed something in her chest.

Conny is prepared.

How can she face that creature like that?

She trembled but she faced them.

'I wasn't able to move when I saw it.'

"The gate is not the way and there was nothing but a cliff behind that wall," Ray suddenly replied. "How can we escape?" He asked.

"Then... Is it impossible?" Emma asked in tears.

"The reason why Conny left me here is because she knows that we can escape, there must be a way. When Emma and I climbed that wall, we also inspected it and we saw a bridge." Norman suddenly said. "We may be able to pull it off."

"It's not impossible, Emma," Norman told her with a gentle smile. Emma went in a daze for a moment.

"We can escape, We can save her," Emma uttered. 

Strategy. That's what they need. 

Before Conny left, she gave them hints. 

They won't waste them. 

She's still alive.

Ray stared at his two friends when they started to discuss the plan. He glanced at his hands when he remembered the last time he saw Conny. She left her bunny on the table as if she knows that it was his original plan.

The original beginning was only starting.

•••••••••

Ray decided to sit at the corner of the library to read a book. Three days had passed since Conny left. The two were starting their investigation. They still don't know that Ray is a spy. Perhaps it was only Emma who doesn't know about it.

"I have to save them," He uttered.

He still needs Isabella to pull out his plan. Ray glanced at the device in his hands. He doesn't know how he was able to finish it even the last part was still missing, but he doesn't want to lose that friend.

However, he almost made a mistake at that moment. He knows that Conny made a logical decision at that moment, but he wasn't able to accept it.

It's true that he planned to use her for that day but he changed his mind when she approached him. If he only helped her earlier.

"If you don't want to help me, then I'll make you help me."

"I will also help you in return."

"Ha, how will you going to help me now?" he asked in a mocking tone as he gritted his teeth. 

She wants him to save her? it's as if she knows that he can do that but what if they failed? What if they cannot escape Mom's clutches? What will she do if they really forced her to become like Mama Isabella?

It doesn't suit her.

"There are a lot of ways to outsmart them,"

"Don't give up, I want you to save me. You're a prince, right?"

It's okay, don't die, I will try it.

Ray lifted his head when he noticed a little figure in front of him. The little boy was looking at him and there was a notebook in his hands. "Ray," Phil said with his little voice. His eyes were misting.

Ray stared at Phil's hands. 

"It can't be," He uttered.

Phil placed the notebook in Ray's hand. "I taught Norman how to decode it," Phil told him imitating Conny's way of talking. "I told you, I will help you, so you have to save me," Phil continued to say.

Ray immediately opened the notebook, he immediately placed his hands in his chin when he found the notebook interesting. Ray chuckled with amusement. "What else did she say?" Ray asked the little kid. 

"Ray, don't be an idiot."

End Of Book 1

••••••••

*Evil laugh* HAHAHA, This is not a prank.

Don't hate me but yeah this is the end of book one. The goal for this book is don't let Conny die and I achieved that when I decided to make her a Mom in training. 

This might be the end but who knows?

I'm only kidding. I am currently planning to make the second season. The goal for the next season is how will I be able to make Conny meet Ray, Norman, and Emma again? I still don't have the answer.

I guess I'll finish the manga first.
