A/N:I infact wrote two versions of how this would go but I slightly preferred this one since version 1 was a bit more depressing. Season 2 is just a day away so I am very excited to see and write more😄so with this chapter we conclude season 1

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

I stood in front of Ray paralyzed by my sudden outburst and choice of words. Now I had his full attention but this wasn't the way I wanted it to be. "What did you just say?" It was my turn to stay quiet now as I stared at the young boy,afraid and hurt. "I-Isabella.." I stuttered out and felt my hand continue to shake.

Ray sudden stood up and banged his fists against the table, "Tell me!" I furrowed my eyebrows together and looked down at my feet now but locked eyes with his again.

"Isabella never wanted you..as soon as she gave birth to you she handed you to me. I could never become a mother so for the first few months when you were born I considered you my son. We agreed that I would raise you, Isabella left but before that she convinced the higher-ups to let me live and become a Sister.."

I pause and continue when I notice Ray staring at me and I try not to break down and cry. "Your mother and I are biological sisters,I'm certain she never mentioned you that, you're a smart boy but you never knew this between us. That melody you used to sing belonged to Leslie, a boy your mother once loved. I would always sing it despite her hatred towards it later on, Isabella and I distanced ourself when we got older or should I say when she left me back then." I paused and lookd at Ray who was staring at the floor not saying a single word.

"I'm thankful I got to live because of her, but this isn't the life I wanted. Isabella wanted you back so she came back for you and the rest is history. Maybe she told you to hold a grudge on me or something, but I was the one who raised you not her. I even chose you your name because she didn't want to give birth."

I hide my face and begin to laugh to myself. "Now you know the truth, there's no more hiding on how much I hate Isabella." I spat out her name and envy her so much.

She got to be everything I wanted to be.

"I'm sorry if I messed your brain up and accidently called you my son." Ray was too little to understand. I was always there for him on the first days and weeks of his life, he must've mistaken me for Isabella due to how we resemble so much. Because of her position as Mother and one of the best, she spoke to the higher-ups to give me the position as Sister and to not place a bomb in me. I don't have the scar Isabella or Krone had in her chest.

"You're too young to understand this world but-" I began to tell Ray but the boy ran past me and left me alone. I kicked the chair next to me and hugged myself and fell down to the knees.

The truth had to come sooner or later. Though this isn't how I wanted out last night together to end, tomorrow I'll never be able to see him again. Isabella had enough of him and is planning to send him out.

I held the device in my hand and clenched my fists tight. We are leaving this place tonight. I directly went to my room and got myself changed into my normal clothes except for the white apron. I pulled my hair to the side and stared at myself in the mirror, I winced when I began cutting into mt ear to get the tracker out of me.

I held the small device in my hands and patched my ear up to stop the bleeding. I started to remember what Emma told me earlier.

**************

"Tonight we're leaving." The clothes I was hanging up fell from my hands and I stared back at Emma who looked at me with a determined face. I smiled at her. This is the Emma I know and love.

"What do you need?" I quickly ask her before Isabella can spot us together.

"I need hair lots of it. Don, Gilda and the rest planned this up ahead." The rest? I look around and see a couple of kids giving me a thumbs up.

There are so much! I didn't expect Emma to tell so many and gather up half the kids to leave Grace Field. "You got it, Emma."

Isabella was concentrated on cooking so no way would she ever suspect us. Don handed me a pair of scissors while Gilda held up a small mirror and I began to cut my long hair and left it above my shoulders. All Emma told me is that she is going to burn something so she needs to smell of burnt hair, also this way it'll be impossible for someone to track me.

I held the many strands of hair and handed them to Anna who I noticed that her pigtails were gone now. Knowing how suicidal Ray also is I decided to keep a close eye on him. We are all leaving this place and we'll come back for the rest.

***************

It is finally midnight. The sound of the clock could be heard all over the house. I smirked to myself and blew the candle out just then a horrifying scream could be heard. Is that from Emma's plan?

"Ray!!" Emma screamed. I opened the door wide and covered my nose when I smelled burning meat along with hair, is that my hair or Ray's?!

No no no! The thing's I said to Ray, did it really affect him that much?! I've been planning this for many many years. Was he planning this his suicide?!

"Isabella!" I called out when I got closer and saw the place on fire to where Emma was on the floor. "Ryo! Gilda! Get the kids outside to safety along with the babies."

We both began to run as fast as we could and gathered the babies up and each obe of us ran back out. Half of the kids dressed up with their backpacks. But where is Ray?! No one fully explained the plan to me.

"Sister! Let's go Emma will meet up with us!" Don said as he held my hand tight trying to drag me away from the house. I heard a small voice say my name and I looked down at Phil, he frowned but smiled back at me and tugged onto my dress.

"I'll take good care of the rest of us. Protect my brothers and sisters, I know you'll come back for us." I opened my mouth but nothing came out. Phil always knew about this? Without anyone telling the small boy?

I quickly knelt down and hugged the boy close, "I'm so sorry I won't be here to protect you but I promise we'll be back to save you." I kissed the boy's forehead and heard Don and Gilda say goodbye to him also.

I felt the adrenaline rushing to my veins. We reached deeper into the forest and one by one I began helping the kids climb the wall. I grabbed my backpack which Nat held out to me and jumped up and noticed the cliff right before us.

I took a moment and began to remember when I first climbed this so many years ago, now I am finally escaping and helping other's as well. I never expected this to happen. I noticed all of the kids were here except for Emma and Ray.

Looking throught the crowd I noticed him. "Ray!" I cried out and ran towards him, he held onto his wounded ear and looked at me surprised also. I reached out and wrapped my arms around him.

"I know you aren't fond of hugs but I just had to. What were you thinking about killing yourself?! Now that's something I didn't want you learning from me." I held him tight and surprisingly felt him lean into my touch.

"Sorry..Ryo."

I pull away from him but still held his shoulders and smiled at the kids. "Norman and I planned the few finishing touches before he left. Now half of them are leaving with us."

Ray knew how faithful and obedient I was once to Isabella and anyone else and that I never hesitated to break the rules. Now all of those thing's are gone. The real me is back. "All that's left is Emma and we'll get out of here."

I noticed Ray's dark eyes on me and I smiled since I assumed he was looking at my now short hair instead of mt bloody ear. "This was nothing don't worry."

"Is everybody here?" Emma quickly came and we began counting.

"Where are the four year olds?" Ray asked as he looked around.

"What you said to me before, I thought about it. We can't take all of them I discussed things through with Don and Gilda. Everyone under five years old will stay and we'll come back for them. We'll search for other Plants and rescue the rest of the children." I listen well to Emma's words and helped the rest of the kids climb up.

"That means we have a year and a half uo to two years to come back for them correct? That'll probably be enough time." I comment and look down at the kids proud of them.

"Come on let's hurrt before Isabella finds out!" We all begin to run across the wall and only continue seeing more trees surrounding the other side. The alarms went on and I ushered the kids to run faster before time runs out for us.

The two months Norman had left he decided to check up here? No wonder I saw him a couple of days before his departure running along. "Let's all line up and safely cross to the other side. "Alright let's do this!" Don got a rope out with a rock tied to it, he easily threw it to the other side despite the long distance but it was caught between a branch s he was the first to cross.

"Be careful, Don!" I shouted when he was sliding across. I felt a huge relief when he made it and lit up a lantern.

Soon enough everyone was already crossing to the other side, to safety, to freedom. Ray who was to my left seemed distracted almost talking to himself in a way, maybe he's talking to Norman.

Now all that's left are Lannion, Thoma, Emma, Ray, Jemima and I. Emma was kneeling down when Jemima began to shake and cry thinking that she might fall. This made the pair of boys shiver and hug each other.

Ray began walking to the youngest girl now. "It's okay, Jemima. Let's cross together." I began to tie up Jemima to Ray's back to make sure she doesn't fall.

We looked back at the boys and Ray frowned at them, "What is it with you two? Afraid to cross?" He said teasingly.

Lannion and Thomas pulled away from each other, "No we aren't!" "It's super easy." They began to say. I smiled at them but had my eyes on Ray and told him to be careful. He looked at me and nodded his head, "I'm always careful... Mom..."

I felt my heart melt at the name he used on me. Mom. Ray didn't call me Sister or by my first name. I watched him cross safe along with Thoma and Lannion. All that's left is Emma-

I froze when I saw Isabella up here with us. I scoffed and protectively stood in front of Emma and glared at my sister. Isabella was panting heavily and staring at us both. 

"Are you ready, Emma?" I lowly whisper to her.

She looks back at the burning house. Our house. "Goodbye..Mama." Emma now stares at Isabella.

I continue to glare at her and stood next to Emma in case she tries to harm her again. "Don't leave my dear children." I hear her beg Emma to stay.

Emma refuses to look back and began crossing to the other side. I hold onto my hook tight and many memories began to flash through my head.

"Promise you'll never leave me." "The three of us will always be together!" "You will obey my every rule." "Betray me and i'll kill you."

I've made my final decision. The wind feels colder up here I already feel free, the cold air brushes through my short hair giving me goosebumps on my skin. I feel excitement yet nervous. "Goodbye..sister." I mutter without looking at her and I jumped.

The kids backed away a bit so I jumped and they cheered when I made it. I quickly turned around held up my pocket knife and easily cut up the rope. "Let's go children." We begin to run but I stop and look back one last time at her.

I never enjoyed Isabella's company as teenagers and adults but I know the old Isabella is in there, my dark serious expression changes and I stare up at her now with sadness. She along with any adult can't leave the Plant because of the bomb implanted in them.

Isabella thank you for letting me live and finally escape. This is is where it all happened. Now we are free.

I wipe my tear away and began running behind trying to catch up to the children who continued to run. "Try not to seperate from each other! If we continue we'll be able to be far away from those demons!" I begin to pant and feel the cold getting to me but I don't stop and neither does anyone.

We continued running all night now the sun was setting and we all made a stop to look up ahead at the mountains filled with the trees and the sun rising up. "Our first sunrise outside the walls." I smile and rest my hand on Emma and Ray's shoulders.

We still have so much to do...we smile up at dawn of a new day and breathed in the fresh air. This is for you Leslie..Norman..and the rest of the children who could never make it.
