Chapter 342: 342-Demanding Freedom For Everyone

Clementine:

"That is right. Somebody had to say it," Ian remarked, showing he stood with me.

The look on the crusaders’ faces was worth watching.

"We are sorry, come again?" Ms. Lenora stepped ahead, gesturing for Mr. Rick and Miss Rue to stand back since it was a matter concerning her squad mate.

"I said we are not going back into the North," I repeated loudly, making sure they heard me.

She stared at me in silence before clearing her throat and looking away with a smile that revealed her disbelief and disappointment toward everyone present.

"I expected you to be the last one to be scared of the North," she replied, choosing her words very carefully.

The way Ms. Lenora responded felt like her attempt to provoke my ego into surrendering to them again. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"No, she is not the only one. We will not go either," the Red Squad replied in unison.

I did not even need to speak with them privately. They were already standing with me.

"Really? What about the others? Are you all scared too?" Mr. Rick questioned, trying to provoke them.

"Yeah, we are not going back," the black Squadmates yelled, and then the three ringleaders turned to Oriana.

We did not expect much from her, but she was still one person.

"I do not want to go either."

She shocked us when she instantly jumped off the stool and shook her head.

There seemed to be a small spark of hope in her eyes, and for a moment I thought all the messy things she had done were because she had been scared of the North.

Now that she had been given a chance not to return, she was trying to seize it quickly.

"And I think it is the right thing to do. There is another part of the North and it is very scary," Oriana began to explain when Mr. Rick pointed at her to silence her.

"Do you think it is a game? Do you think we are sending you there because we want to have fun with teenagers? It is because the North is a dangerous place. If you do not go and slay those monsters, they will eventually return here and take over the mainland," Mr. Rick yelled, repeating the same warning about how frightening it would be once the monsters broke loose.

"But there are towers that are securing us," Renee from my Squad replied, giving me a nod to let me know my squad stood with me.

"And who went there to secure them? You did. Because you have been fighting these monsters, those towers remain secured. Do you not think the monsters with a brain can figure out a way to take those towers down?" Ms. Lenora yelled.

Her reasoning sounded sensible, but it did not change the question of why they kept sending teenagers.

Why not prepare a large army, train them, give them weapons and send them into the North?

"Having a brain, you mean like my father did?" I stepped forward, bringing up my father. The three ringleaders went silent.
