Outside Ghost Corps

The air was dry, it always was. It always will be. Augh.
Ebony drew their hood over them a bit tighter, they narrowed their eyes as they focused on the doorway of the Ghost Corps base.

Sneaking in would be hard, this place was guarded almost as much as an Umbra Corp lock up was.
They snuck closer, staying to the shadows as they got near the door. Almost almost.
”What do you think you’re doing kid?” A voice came from behind them, causing Ebony to almost jump from their skin before turning to face the armored figure with a gun trained on them. ”Come calmly with me, and we won’t hurt you.”
Fuck.
Barracks, Ghost Corp

Wren couldn’t help but frown at Vals’ words and actions before he stood up, telling them that he was heading up to the top of the base to see the General. He really wanted to wish him luck, but Ferz held his tongue.

Mimi felt the stroke on their head gently, breathing out a shaky sigh at Le Freys’ words, pulling away to look at his eyes as he spoke about if they had to kill him if the Wild King asked, their tail flicked slightly before they glanced towards everyone else as Le Frey looked away as well.

Mimi’s feathers pricked up as food was mentioned, Synthesized chicken sounded lovely right now. They nodded and followed Le Frey up the stairs and towards the mess hall.

Once it was time for everyone to go to bed, Mimi was left with a rather hard decision. They trusted Wren enough to sleep in the same room as him, but with what Ferz said earlier; they were unsure about doing such a thing.

They decided to sneak into Le Frey’s room, having grabbed a couple of pillows and a blanket and curled up on the floor at the end of the bed, making themselves a little nest before falling asleep.
Mimi lifted their head up as they heard the rustling of leaves. They stood slowly. The Wild Forest, this is where they were born…

Heavy footsteps echoed behind them. They flinched slightly before they turned to watch as the rest of their pack broke through the bushes. Stalker, Mangle, Snapper, and, of course Roose.
“Traitor.” Stalker rumbled angrily, stepping forward from the Pack Line. “You disobeyed the King. You broke the one Law the Pack relies upon.” He stomped closer, baring his teeth down to them.

Mimi collapsed down onto their side, rolling over slightly in fear as they moved to curl up. Stalker was ready to dig his teeth into Mimi’s throat, ending her life right there.
“You are to be thrown from the Pack.” Stalker hissed, the other three Pack members all chiming in with ‘Thrown!’ as Stalker moved a foot above Mimi, ready to slam it down on their body. “If you come across the Pack in any way in the future. You will be slaughtered like prey, and I will revel in the horror flooding from your body.”

He slammed his clawed foot down onto Mimi’s body, causing them to yell out in pain as his claws dug deeply into their skin before Stalker slid his foot down, causing a deep gash in Mimi’s body before he turned to face the Pack, giving an authoritative snarl before heading back into the trees.
Roose and Snapper followed Stalker instinctively, Mangle hesitating as she looked towards Mimi. An Egg Sibling being kicked out from the Pack like that wasn’t anything that had happened before.

Mangle hesitated more, looking as if she was going to step forward to comfort Mimi, the scorned Mimicraptor could feel the worry and hurt coming from her sister, but Stalker's voice ripped from the forest.
”Sister Mangle, Leave the weakling to their death. Or join them.” He rumbled, Mangle looking towards Mimi again hesitantly before turning away and running into the forest, away from Mimi.

Mimi laid in the forest as it grew darker around them.
The Next Day

Briefing Room, Ghost Corps
Mimi had woken up a few times during the night, a recurring nightmare about their old pack. But in the morning, they felt something different across everyone, they smelt hope.

They tried their best not to feed on the raw emotion they felt, especially without the go-ahead from everyone around; their tail slowly wagging as they waited after the breakfast everyone got.
The lab grown meat was fantastic, they might not get anything like that ever again, but they weren’t going to complain - Especially with the sweet honey-like smell of hope in the air.

As the door opened and the General entered, Mimi moved to run around him slightly, pressing themselves into his side softly, almost like a hug, before returning to Wrens’ side as General spoke to him.

Wren gave a small smile, nodding his head. “Thank you, sir.” He said before he looked down to Mimi, moving to rub their head. “Looks like you can’t get rid of me, huh?” Wren chuckled, Mimi gave a soft chirrup in response.

While everyone was listening to the General, a knock came on the door.
”Apologies General, Captains.” A soldier said as they stepped through the door, two other Soldiers following behind, each holding the arms of Ebony as they struggled against the much stronger men.
”We found this kid sneaking around the base last night. We wanted to know what you wanted to do with them?”

“Unhand me!” Ebony yelped, struggling a bit more, which caught the attention of Mimi as they smelt the fear from the child. “I’m not a kid! Let me go!”
”They had a… pretty shabby Knife, tried to cut my suit when I tried to grab them.” The first soldier said, ignoring Ebony’s words as they wriggled aggressively, trying to kick at the soldiers holding them, but their kicks hitting their legs did nothing to them.

”The suits okay, the knife is blunt and looks like it’s made out of scrap.”

The General tilted his masked head at the kid, staring at him for a moment. He glanced at Le Frey, who immediately shook his head. A bit more relaxed, but still severe, the General spoke.

"We don't take trespassers lightly, child."

His head nodded to the guards. "Take him down to one of the interrogation rooms in the barracks. See what you can get from him before I or Le Frey get down there."

Ebony struggled even more, ”I’M NOT A CHILD.” They yelled, before the mention of Interrogation Rooms caused them to pause and stare at the General wide eyed. “I..I promise I’m not here to hurt anyone!”

Wren tilted his head as he watched the child, looking to Le Frey and then to the General. Instinctively he went to hold onto Mimi to hopefully calm them down as they could feel them twitch under his hand, but Mimi… Wasn’t there?

Mimi had left Wrens’ side, moving over towards the General and looked towards the new figure with a tilt of their head.
”Little?” Mimi chirped, causing Ebony to try and jolt as far back away from Mimi as they could, staring at the Wild with wide eyes before they looked up towards the General.
“Y…You’re gonna let that thing eat me, a…aren’t you?” Their voice cracked as their eyes filled with tears. “I…I was following you cause of the Umbra drop. I…I just wanted supplies, I.. I don’t want to die.”
