Carol

It has been a week since I discovered Norman was alive, along with Emma and Ray by his side. Although, I wasn't surprised of how Emma and Norman would ended up as a couple . 

It was totally oblivious since it was so noticeable of how close they were, and also, I wouldn't mind of it as long they were happy. 

It also makes it harder for me to accept that Phil wasn't with us . He would've been totally shock of the revelation that William Minerva was actually our Norman, living in an underground secret headquarters for twelve years. 

And Emma and the other 15 cattle children from Plant 3 also had some major changes as well from escaping from the Gracefield House. 

I was amazed by our siblings' new talents and it shows how much they've grown since we were struck with Mama Ollie over the years. 

I spotted a greenhouse which is almost identical to back home, as I was amazed and enchanted by the greenhouse , like it was enchanted by wildlife, carefree and not be in terrible war between  cattle children and demons.

As I was lost in total thought, I felt a small , fragile tap on my shoulder. 

I was curious , as I thought it was Jack, planning a sneak attack upon me, but to my ultimate surprise , it wasn't the case. 

The person in front of me was an eleven year old boy, as if he was still amaze of how much I've grow into. 

"Carol." He said. 

I stepped back a bit, as it was a total stranger, as I said, "W-who are you?" 

The boy seems to be smiling at me, as if it was something that he would know that is what he expected from my reaction. 

"It's been a long time , Carol. Who you think send out a letter to you, about the tunnels?" He asks me. 

I was silent for a long moment, as I thought back. But then I looked closer onto his eyes, I couldn't believe it. 

The anger boils inside me, like a steam train was ready to blow , as I slapped him hard on the floor, yelling at him, "You ... You idiot!" 

Phil and I sat across from one other, as if the reunion was very awkward as it was to be. 

Phil sighs, "I'm sorry. I should've told you where I was this whole time. It wasn't an easy task of rescuing other cattle children. I thought about you though." 

"You left me, Phil. Do you know how hard it was to keep the Secret, everything until I was eleven years old, the same age that Emma and the others left?" 

Phil sighs, "I know. Norman and the others told me about how you escaped with cutting your transmitter off. 

I can't believe that you literally had to cut your left ear off, just like Emma did . That's insane!" 

I looked at him, with raising an eyebrow at the young eleven year old. 

"Seriously? Phil, you should've seen how Isle was of when I told her the truth, she was shocked about the whole demon thing. And also... things had changed since you left. " 

"Really, tell me. I want to know. " Phil said, smiling as I sigh, "Don, Glida, I know you're there. C'mon out will ya?"

 They came out as Don and Glida seem to be in total shock of seeing Phil again.

"Phil." Don said, as Phil was unable to say anything.

Ray

Isle and I sneak out back while nobody was around. Even though the person who knew we are searching for my mother was Don.

"You seriously thinking of leaving in search for Mama? Are you insane?" He said, seems to be in disbelief of our decision to leave.

"Look, I know the demonized forest for a long time. As long Isle is helping me, I'll make sure I'll see my mother again, for good and bring her to see everyone." 

Don sighs as he seems to know how much stubborn I was of not listening once I made up my mind, although Emma and Norman stopped me from sacrificing myself in order to escape from the Gracefield House.

"Isle, please promise me one thing. Watch over Ray." Don asks. Isle seems to be smiling as she replied, "Of course I would, Don. He's our brother after all. We'll be back before you know it." 

Isle and I made out from anyone seeing us as we looked at the Demonized Forest once again. I felt trembled and in fear of loosing hope of finding my mother again, and considering of how much I've grown, would she be able to recognize her own son again?

Isle smiled, "Hey, it' s going to be fine, I know that we can find her and she can help us find the Human World this time. Tell her how you really felt that day you and the others left Gracefield House. " 

I was amazed by Isle's words. Even though, I barely know her as my younger sibling, she really knows exactly how I must be feeling about reuniting with my biological mother again. 

"Let's go, Isle." I said. 

Don

I still couldn't believe it. Phil, our brother, who we left at Gracefield House , is actually here! Gilda and I were shaken by this, as Carol knew it was hard for us to believe. 

"You guys. I didn't realize that you were there this whole time. I'm so sorry that you have to find out this way. " 

I step forward as I looked to Phil with stern eyes, then I couldn't control my emotions any longer, I immediately slapped the teen as Gilda and Carol were shocked of what I've done. 

"Don!" Gilda said, sternly and scold him, "You can't just punch Phil like that! It's not like how you hit Norman and Ray when we discovered the Secret from them! I know you're mad, but that seems to be a bit much, isn't?"

Carol said, "Look, I know it's strange, believe me. I wasn't too fully prepared about all of this happening all at once. 

Besides, having Norman alive is really something none of us believed in." 

We were in silent as Phil asks, "How long that Emma had to suffer like that? To not be able to reunite with Norman?"

I replied, "Harder than any of us. But, one thing you should know about Emma is that she never gives up, ever. She's the one who followed Norman's plan to escape from Gracefield house . " 

Phil seems to smile at the memory of that night that we told him the truth about the home we use to live. 

Carol looks around, "Hey, haven't you guys seen Isle and Ray? I haven't seen them since Phil arrived." 

I sweat nervously , mostly of knowing where my siblings went off to, to find Mama Isabella , deep within the Demonized Forest. 

I lied, "I'm sure that they would back . I think I saw them doing some errand . " 

Phil looks at me and Gilda. "Ok, I guess. Considering of that I just arrived here, I think I should have a chat with Norman and Emma for a bit. " 

He leaves us as I sigh with regretting that I lied to him and the others about where Ray and Isle went off to. 

I thought in my mind, "I hope that Mama Isabella would be pleased to see you guys and please be careful out there. "
