Sunshine [Ray x OC][Indefinite Hiatus]

Chapter 18

Sunshine's POV

[November 2, 2045, shared bedroom, continuation]

"What do you mean?" Norman asked as he takes a seat on the edge of his bed, still holding on to the pen. I sighed softly before joining him, plopping herself to his bed.

"Exactly what I just said. Sister Krone died gambling on our escape. And you will plan our escape as soon as you see what's beyond the wall." I said, shielding my eyes from the light. Norman stayed silent, though his mind is far from it.

Well, of course. Anyone who thought they're on the brink of death will be silent. 

"What's. . . beyond the wall?" Norman asked. I looked at him before sitting properly, grabbing the pen before opening the cap. I stared at it in amazement since all I can see is an original pen. Unless I twist it.

"I don't want to tell you." I said in a low voice. "I might spoil your future plan and ruin it." I added as I twist the pen, a hologram appeared before me. I looked at it longingly, suddenly missing my stuffs at home.

"Woah." Norman breathed out as he stared at the screen. "But. . . what is the meaning of that?" Norman asked as he pointed at the screen.

0
00-00

"Oh, that?" I asked. Norman nods before grabbing the pen from my hands. "It's the House's location." I said as Norman twisted it once more, revealing an owl on top of a bar and below a bar is a keyboard.

A quiz. It's the quiz that if finished, it will reveal the Shelter.

"What's this? A quiz? An assessment?" Norman asked. I nod at him before standing up and grabbing the box from his drawer. I held out the box in front of him as if I am offering it. Norman placed his hand on it. I smiled softly before speaking.

"Now, shall we start planning?"

[November 3, 2045, playtime. Sunshine's POV]

As Phil and Sherry are distracting Mama, Norman and I are running towards the forest without wasting any more time. My heart is beating so wild in my chest that I almost forgot how to breathe.

Breathe in, breathe out. It'll be okay. . . 

I rolled my eyes at myself as I continue to steady my breathing while running. As we near the walls, I had the urge to vomit as my nerves starts to act up again, a faint image of the cliff getting clearer and clearer. My hands started shaking ang I can't help the shakiness of my feet as I stumbled. Norman saw me and immediately went for my help.

"Sunshine!" Norman said worriedly as he helps me stand up. Norman helps me dust myself as I felt a sting on my elbow.

"Ow!-" I hissed in pain as Norman accidentally brushed his hand on the wound. Norman panicked and started mumbling strings of apologies. I rolled my eyes before grabbing his hand and sprinting our way to the walls.

"Sunshine! Your wound-"

"-can wait but the inspection can't." I cut him off with a glare as I let go of his hand. I started climbing a branch to tie the end of my rope. Norman did the same. Remembering the method Mama used to get up, I walked backwards to give myself some momentum. Norman looked at me weirdly.
