Chapter 1001: Everything went south
"What to do?" Rossie walked beside Adair as they headed to the toilet, they needed time to come up with a plan, while the elders and children were buying something for them to eat, trying to act as normal as possible.
"Do you know where the other exit is?" Adair asked when they were finally inside the toilet.
"Do you think this other exit will be free from any surveillance?" Rossie rolled her eyes and opened the bag that she had been carrying. She would clean baby Eddard first, while thinking about what they should do next. "This is my first time coming here."
"Not any different here," Adair groaned in frustration. "Then we should stay here until the crowd got dispersed. We might stand a chance to fight them if we breakthrough."
"There will be a bunch of authorities and guards, ready to chase after us if we do that." Rossie started to wipe Eddard's small body, as the baby grinned at her. His smile was so contagious, making her reciprocate his grin.
"Then we can shift into our beasts and get out from here," Adair said mindlessly.
"Didn't you hear the news?" Rossie glanced at Adair. "Humans can see us in our beast forms now. It seems the human and the supernatural worlds had been clashed, so no matter what form we take, they will still see us. It will only endanger us if we shift right in front of them."
"So, what do we do now?!" Adair grunted frustratedly. "We shouldn't have taken the train, why didn't anyone inform us about this beforehand?!"
"I think all of us just came to know about this." Rossie put the diaper and changed Eddard's cloths. "Let's observe the situation first, maybe we can get an idea about what we should do."
They were fortunate enough that all the three cubicles inside this toilet were empty, thus they could talk freely about this.
However, right at that time, an old woman from their group entered the toilet, from her expression alone, Rossie and Adair could tell that something wrong was happening.
"What happened Adah?" Adair immediately grabbed the shoulder of the woman named Adah.
"The woman with Rossie before," she said hastily, staring at Rossie, who immediately tidied up Eddard's stuff and put it into the bag again. "She got suspicious because Rossie didn't have that card and told the guard about her, now the guard is talking to Bree."
Bree was waiting outside and sitting alone, not literally alone, since the other shifters were around her, but the woman only knew her and Rossie.
"Oh, sh*t!" Rossie immediately took baby Eddard and was about to go out of the toilet.
"Wait!" Adair stopped Rossie and grabbed her hand, preventing her from going outside.
"What?!" Rossie snapped at her. "We need to help Bree!" she didn't want to wait, they knew what would happen to the shifters who got caught. They will kill them right there and then if they were proven as of non- human existence.
"But, Bree is not a shifter!" Adair reminded her, the fact that they almost forgot.
For a moment, silence befell upon them until Adah spoke again, "Right, she is not a shifter, isn't she?"
Bree had been with them for long time, until they forgot that the girl was from a different realm and was not a shifter, or at least that was what they knew about her, since she had never shown any indication that she was something else, but human.
"I still need to see her." Rossie insisted ongoing out, but Adair held her back and didn't loosen her grip on her. "What again?" she asked frustratedly.
"Wear this." Adair put the cap that she wore on the latter's head and took baby Eddard from Rossie. "And this jacket." She used her other hand to give the jacket that was tied around her waist too. "The woman knows you, so it is safe for us to assume that she may have already given your details to those people."
It made sense, thus Rossie didn't say anything and just did what Adair told her.
"Let me carry the baby," Adah said and took hold of the baby from Adair, as she saw the young werewolf carrying the little fella in an uncomfortable way.
Afterward, the three of them went out intermittently.
From where they were standing, they could see Bree, who was being interrogated by three men in dark blue uniform, beside them was the woman, who talked to Rossie during the two hours of their journey.
"I feel like tearing her face apart," Adair mumbled, folding her hands in front of her chest, while leaning against the wall, pretending to be interested at the schedule of the trains on the board above them.
"We are on the same page this time," Rossie said calmly, as she bought a drink from vending machine.
Adair raised her eyebrows when she heard that and chuckled quietly. "Welcome to the cruel world." She always thought that Rossie was too sweet even for her own good, but that didn't seem to be the case anymore.
Rossie ignored her remark and opened the can, while stealing a glance at Bree. She would be all right… she was not a shifter, so there was nothing that they should be worried about.
However, deep down, there was this feeling that gnawed at her mind. For some strange reason, Rossie felt that Bree was more than a normal human. They both had spent a short intense time together when they were running away from the massacre in the castle and during that time, she knew that the little girl was special.
She just hoped that she was wrong…
Not too far from them, Bree let one of the men prick her finger, as she grimaced a little and shot an angry glare at the noisy woman who was the worst tattle-tale she ever encountered.
They awaited the result for two seconds, before those men eyes widened and as if an alarm was blaring loud in Rossie's head, she knew the result was different from what she expected
"She is not human!" said the man.
