Chapter 10


At the new Gracefield House, Phil felt a lot of pressure. It's true that he had major responsibility. To keep all his new siblings safe from being shipped off to be killed by the demons. 

He also thought about the siblings he missed a lot, especially Emma, who he didn't know that she had been alive for two years. 

"Norman, Ray, Emma..." He thought to himself, as that he was watching his siblings play together in the familiar green grass. 

He also did some training for his new family of teaching them how to play tag as an excuse for the real escape just like Don had taught him. 

As he was all alone, thinking about the escapees and what they are up to, one of his oldest sibling, Simon notices how worried he was and decided to cheer him up. 

He tiptoed behind his little brother, and that he picked him up for an surprise hug attack. 

"Got ya, Phil! " He said, as that Phil looked at Simon with a surprise expression, then grinned at him. 

"Simon!" He said. Phil wanted to tell him everything, the life that he had before meeting him, and he wanted to protect him. 

Simon asked, "Phil, is something bothering you? I've noticed it for a long time. You constantly watched over Carol and the others. 

Not just that, you also wanted to keep everyone's scores higher than ever, what's gone into you lately?"

Phil didn't know what to reply to that answer, until they heard the signal bell to go back inside the House. 

To Phil's horror, he notices the suitcases and all the present Mamas. "No. Not now." He thought. 

All the children were static of going to be adopted, but Phil knew the horrible, and terrifying truth. 

"Why, why now?" He said, as Simon touches his brother's shoulder. "C'mon, you looked spooked out. " 


Meanwhile, Emma and her group were ready to infitate the farm. "This is really a breakout mission." Emma thought. 

Norman led Emma and her comrades to the hidden tunnel of Mujika and Sonju used to get through the farm unnoticed. 

Norman said, grinning, "Isn't this awesome, Emma? We can infitiate the farm easily . By the way, Mujika, Sonju thanks for letting us use the tunnels again and rebuilding our supplies." 

Sonju said, "It's nothing to it, Norman. I've never imagine you would do another breakout since you left that place . " 

Mujika notices how Emma must be worried. "Don't worry, Emma. Your siblings would be thrilled to see you again after all this time. 

Trust Norman and the others. " 

Norman taught her how to use archery and she adapted to it very quickly, as to it was no surprise to the siblings since they were the top scorers in the Gracefield House. 

The group decided to split into two groups. Jemima, Yvette, Rossi, and Mark disguise themselves as the children being shipped out to instruct the other children to escape while Emma and the rest of the siblings control on the inside. 

"Let's hope that things would go smoothly." Norman said. 

They attacked the security facility and close the gates to prevent the children from shipping out. 


Phil was confused by the situation until he notices Jemima and the disguised siblings. He said, in shock, "Jemima. It's you! " 

"Yeah, we came back. Norman asked me to give this to you. You are the only one who can lead your new siblings to this location. Oh yeah, there's a surprise waiting for you as well. Can you handle this, Phil?

Norman's counting on you with this simple mission." She asked. 

Phil took the note and knew that this is the only way that he can save his siblings. He said to Simon, "Hey, Simon, do you want to continue playing our game of Tag?"

Simon was confused by his younger brother's question. "Phil, what you talking about? Do you know what's going on?"

He nods, "I sure do. Listen, it's going to happen at any second. Just follow me." 

Suddenly, the entire room became dark, as that the present mamas were confused of what was happening. Jemima and the other disgused children beamed as they knew what to do. 

At the exact moment, a voice that Phil recognize said, "Everyone, we're here to pick you all up. It's going to be fun, promise. 

We're going to play a game of Tag, follow your leader ok. Don't let anyone caught you. Go!" 

Phil and the children run as fast they can, as one of the mamas said, "Children, come back here!" 

Simon and the rest of the siblings followed Phil, as they never seen the facility before. It was a whole new experience for them. 

"This way!" Phil said. They continued their sibling, as he was determined to get to the location they would meet his other siblings. 

"Phil!" A voice said, as that the young boy looked at the person who was calling him. In front of him, was Norman, holding his archery.

"Norman, is that you?" He asked, trying to believe it was his older brother. Norman was relieved to see his younger brother that he hasn't seen for two years. 

His eyes begin to water, as he couldn't control his emotions anymore as he threw his archery, "Phil! I've come back!" 

"Norman!" They embraced, as Phil cried, "You really took your sweet time to get back! I was so worried about you guys! 

I've missed you, Norman!" 

Norman said, "I'm so sorry that I took so long." 

Phil felt a touch as it was Ray who was smiling. "Heya, Phil. We're home. I'm so sorry that we took the long way back. " 

"It's fine! I've kept my promise. It was never that easy. " He reassure his brother. Sherry exclaimed, "Wow, it's everyone! Where you been all this time?"

Phil laughs at his younger sister's question, until he notices a orange-haired teen. 

He couldn't believe his eyes. He thought that she had been shipped out that night, as he remembered when Norman talked to him about leaving the House. 

"E-Emma?" He asked, "You're alive?"

Emma knelt down to her brother. She gazed into his eyes. His eyes were in pure agony, and that she knew that he had indeed suffered of keeping the secret of the farm long enough. 

She took her brother into a deep embrace, as she apologizes to him, "Yeah. I'm so sorry that you had to keep the secret for two whole years. It must've taken a toll on you. " 

Phil wiped his tears, "Wait, how you here? I remembered that night. Norman was about to -" 

"I took his place that night, and thus Mama took me to meet a man. He led me to a place called Lambda 7214. An experimental farm where farm children were tested with drugs and unable to escape, but I managed to pull it off with my new friends I've made." She explained to the curious boy. 

Phil looked at Norman and Ray, which they nodded, confirming her story. 

That was when Phil punched Emma to her stomach, which left Simon and the others shocked at him. 

"Whoa, Phil!" Simon exclaimed, never seen him so angry. 

"Don't ever sacrifice yourself again, Emma! It's been two years since you left, do you have any idea how I've felt? 

It felt horrible, like I was consumed with the major responsibilities of keeping not just the farm secret, but making sure that all of our siblings survived from being harvested!" 

Emma got up, "I'm sorry. I vow of never doing something so reckless ever again." 

That was when a voice perked up, "What a touching reunion. Welcome back, my precious children." 

They looked up to see a woman wearing a black dress and holding a gun. Norman couldn't believe his eyes as the older children were shielding Phil and the younglings. 

"Mom." Emma exclaimed of seeing her again, but also noticed someone else standing right next to her. 

She flexes her wrists as Ray notices him as well. "Peter Ratri. We finally got to meet." He said, as the man smiled evilly at the children. 

Norman thought in his mind, "Great. What we supposed to do now?"
