A Ray of Hope |TPN RAYxREADER|

7 - You

You felt something tap your shoulder. Your eyes slowly opened as you rubbed them.

"Huh..?"

Standing before you was a concerned Emma, a confused Norman and a shocked Ray.

"OH HI GUYS-"

"What are you doing here, Y/N? I told you to stay at the tree!" Ray barked,

It hurt to get scolded by Ray, but you can't blame me! YOU ARE JUST SO FRICKING MYSTERIOUS THAT I KINDA HAVE TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THINGS!

"I just got here and then I kinda fell asleep.. haha.." You smiled and rubbed the back of your neck with your hand.

"Did you hear anything we said?" Norman asked,

oh shit

"Uhhhhh- you said stuff? If you did, I wasn't able hear you."

Emma, Ray, and Norman looked at each other briefly and nodded.

"Anyways Y/N, are you okay? You're always zoning out nowadays and now you actually fell asleep! You should be careful." Emma scolds,

"Haha.. Sorry.. I should get going now- byee."

And then you ran away.

Abort mission. Abort mission.

How the hell did I fall asleep when they were talking about important information?!

(Wow, Great job. You fell asleep. You're sooo good at spying 👍)

——

Tuning out all the voices around you, you sat on your bed just thinking. You were thinking on how to escape and what your next move should be.

Ray, Emma, and Norman know now.. maybe I should confess that I know too so we could work together!

What if they think I'm suspicious if I tell them though..?
What if they find out that-

You shake your head fiercely.

No. They won't find out.

*knock, knock, knock*

You look over at the door.
"Come in."

The door opens slowly. It was barely open but you could tell Mama was on the other side.
"Hello, could I ask you Y/N to..."

You raise your eyebrow at the woman.
"To what?"

"..To help me with some chores?"

You were hesitant but you still agreed to. Mom walked out of the room and you trailed behind her.

"Don, Gilda, Emma, Norman, Ray, and Y/N" Mom began, "could you please clean this room?"

Mom pointed to a door.

Everyone nodded and went to work.

——

You dusted the corners of the room.
Mom probably suspects us.. She's trying to distract us by giving us all these chores but... why are Don and Gilda here? Did they tell them without me knowing?

"Achoo!" You sneeze suddenly. You look at everyone else, "*sniff* Sorry, it's probably the dust.."
(You better be wearing a mask :/)

Ray patted your head.
"Don't inhale good much dust. Do you want to go sweep the floors instead? I could dust things off instead."
