Now Blue was nearing the tunnels... and he could muster up some commotion going on at the tunnels. Yet, unable to tell what it was they're saying, or who the people are— as it was strange for anyone to be here, now Blue felt like his luck went out, not like he usually has any. But then Blue thought that, well, maybe this would be what he needs to happen; to get people to be on his side— they surely wouldn't be any Infiltrators, or worse—Deceivers.... The more closer he got the more precise he could here the conversation, sounding like just a bunch about all the traitors, which there isn't much of them, he would obviously know that; he's one of them.

Getting as close as he could get, squatting down behind some shrubs and branches while having the dark night to help him stay hidden, Blue had his full attention on the group. There's one in particular that... stood out to him, the one with slightly bright red hair- they seemed to be have a conflicted look to their face with the groups talk on "traitors". Blue got the idea that, maybe, his earlier thought was right. This is exactly the one who he needs to help him change this dystopia, to save it. The thing was- he needed to get her alone, who knows what those other people could do to him... as he might still be recognised as one of the subjects and traitors.

Crunch, crunch crunch—CRUNCH

Suddenly interrupting the noises of slight arguing and nighttime Forest ambience was the sound of multiple swift heavy footsteps, causing the crunch of leaves. With a quick turn of Blues head in the direction of the footsteps, he knew it had to be a group of Infiltrators, and he had to act fast.

Chief of the group: "Everyone-keep your eyes peeled, Subject 1116 was reported going this way... and we must capture them." The chief had ordered out to the group with virulence in his tone as they kept treading through the forest with their guns in hand.

Blue went with his instincts and launched towards the red haired personage, tackling them into a bunch of bushes and branches, bringing himself down with them. The sudden act of Blue caused the group the red hair is from to be shocked, not yet fully taking in what just happened to their friend- that they happened to be disagreeing with some of her points. He'd hope they didn't notice him as the group of Infiltrators ran up towards the group, Blue and the red haired girl out of their sight.

Infiltrators now surrounding the confused group, they'd started interrogating them, needing to know if they seen a certain individual.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBzM1ztS7Q
Chief: "Have any of you younglings see someone about 5 feet and 10 inches tall with slightly short blue hair? It's pretty hard to miss, and they've done enough breaking the rules..." He'd ask with a harsh, but questioning tone, similar to before as he gave a suspicious look to the 4 baffled young adults.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwBennpxcK
It took a bit of confused looks given between the group of 4 until one spoke up, it being the one with more long, purplish black hair. "One of our friends- she was just... something just tackled her into the woods a few seconds ago." She'd sound confused, still in shock, but then she thought of something; that thing could have been the person these Infiltrators were ordered to capture. "It- could have been the person... that you guys are looking for." She had added on a few seconds later.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2F9B0LGDS
The Infiltrators looked at each other, waiting for the Chief to give his answer to the possible help from the young group that is just at this tunnel, which could be a bit strange in someways. He just huffed and eyed his surroundings to see if he could spot out any of that blue hair, and of course to his luck, he didn't see that, just a glimpse of something red a tiny bit in the distance.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY9Yp9MuTr
With a hint of thankfulness, the Chief still had that cold tone to him with his reply. "Thanks for that, now maybe don't wander around in the woods at night. Then maybe one you squabblers will get taken out by a psycho too... Okay, let's get back to searching for it."

Meanwhile with Blue and the red hair, he had her pinned to the forest floor, giving her a precarious look through his black shades. In a reply back to this, the red hair pushed him off and then pulled out a knife as she stood up, and was clearly bewildered by what just happened to her.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYktbNVtcsf
"Wha- who the hell are you?? Why'd you just—" She'd begin to say before Blue abruptly clasped his hand over her mouth to shut her up, using his other hand to tightly hold the hand of hers with the knife.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKRGgFXAq3
He'd have a slight grin on his face as he told her to shush and be quiet; the Infiltrators would hear them if they kept up the loudness. "Shhh... we can't have them hear us." Now his hand on her mouth would move to his pocket, grabbing hold of his knife and pulling it out. "I also have a knife, so don't try to be sly..."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTFLWzqZ5b
The red hair didn't listen to Blue and angrily shoved him backwards, causing him to fall to the ground, grunting when his back hit the rough forest floor. Of course, Blue didn't like that she'd done that to him- but, it made him more intrigued by her. She seemingly had a fury in her, and maybe that would be one of the best advantages to destroying this government ruled by the Deceivers, Blue just had to make sure she doesn't hurt him. The special knife that Blue held tightly in his hand she'd think was just some normal knife, but no, it's a gift from the tree, and it's... helped him- a lot.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiivRdm5ruU
Expeditiously, the red hair rushed at him with her knife, but Blue was able to dodge her by rolling over to the right on the ground just in time, letting out a couple nervous breathes. That didn't make her give up obviously, she grabbed Blue by the collar of his shirt—yanked him towards herself, then let out a pissed huff onto Blue's face before questioning him.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAMqSZkf7U
"What's the reason for tackling me down? Who the fuck even are you?!" A growl tone came with her question, but she seemed to listen to Blues request to be quieter.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZMG1KaukH
Feeling a bit startled by suddenly getting yanked forwards, he spoke up, having a shaken but forced confident tone. "H-Hey— calm down, I'm not here to hurt you. And... I'm usually called different things... though, I go by Blue." His tone formed into a bit of a more solemn one before asking the red hair a question- or statement. "I thought maybe you'd like to help... um-... stop the government. It seemed like you didn't agree with your friend's opinions of it—from what I heard."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQHjOzIrNi
"You really think you could just—... take over the government? Even if I help—" She'd chuckle slightly, thinking all he's saying is a big, dumb joke before continuing with a scoff. "I doubt we'd actually be able to successfully do so."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHdSTbfeAs
Blue halted his breath, looking away from her, but he knew he wouldn't let himself die that easily. It seemed neither the red hair would let that happen to herself as well, so he started to assume she's too nervous to act out on the deceivers. "Come on, I wouldn't let myself die that easily, I feel neither would you." Now he stood up off of the cluttered ground, then stood in front of the red hair, holding his hand out to do one of those hand shakes- hoping she obliges. "We'd make a great duo —Blue and Red— Whatcha say?" He had that cool, smirk look to his face, practically able to tell he was confident in Red immediately agreeing and entwine their hands with each other to be on an agreement.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttixOqZZ8X
Red had a puzzled face about what to do in this situation— the fact a wanted "traitor" and subject really wants to go do destroying the Deceivers far... it all seemed like a little fantasy was going on in his head to her. Out of their luck, an Infiltrator had heard slightly of their talking, notifying the rest of the group to come check it out, both Blue and Red hearing the guard do so. He'd turn his head at the sudden commotion just to look back at Red— and she's gone, somehow leaving no trace of being there.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQapT0x4HAq
'W-what? She was here... I can't be imagining things. She can't not be real... fuck— she has to be around here, somewhere.' Blue started to think in his head how Red could have just simply disappeared in the wind like that, shortly later remembering he should get away from these Infiltrators.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhRYFRib6P
Now, dashing through the woods in a direction he hoped Red went to, Blue looked around quickly for any sign of her. Every little snap of something or sound in the woods made him turn his head briskly to see if it was her- it was starting to make him feel like he's loosing his mind ever so slightly. It started to seem that Red was just another figment that he had conjured up, but he didn't want to believe that— he can't. He just kept jogging some more, looking left and right but suddenly ran into the back of someone, both of them letting out a slight audible sound of shock from the impact.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBnq9nPXn1
Gaining his balance, Blue noticed that vibrant red hair immediately as she turned around, looking agitated before noticing it was him, Blue. She'd form a look of confusing in her eyes as she looked up a bit, into the dark shades he'd still wore over his eyes.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfvNBzM4f4
"You're still thinking that's achievable? Look, I really do like the idea— but we'll just die doing it!" Red let out, she was feeling very conflicted with what to say. She just felt like this Blue guy is completely out of touch with reality.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsNb8bsAkZ
The look on Blue's face was a confused hurt one, but he knew he needed to get her on his thinking. "... Who cares?" He'd have a desperate, nervous laugh undertone to his words and scoffed while looking away, taking a step back and crossing his arms before continuing, having a serious tone. "Yeah there's the chance of dying trying to save our city, but I'm willing to take that risk. Just—... at least help me out; I'll make sure that you'll be alive in the end of it all. Or... we could even try escaping this town too—if the other plan seems to be failing for the both of us..."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I7XBBsUwZ
Looking at him still like he's talking nonsense, she'd soon reply back. "Why—... sighs... you really are serious... fine, I'll... help." Red had now reluctantly agreed with Blue, but noticed him spark up a bit when she said she'll help.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDjqtO9IDZ
Blue grabbed onto both of Reds shoulders with his hands, his mouths expression showing he's very psyched from her answer. "Thanks— now, follow me..." He'd insist to Red before he grabbed hold of her arm, not letting her reply back before he dragged her with him to his hideout.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcZL67Fu1k
Nothing was said from Red as he took her there, she'd just think, 'what the actual hell is happening'. It's not everyday that you'll be asked by a "traitor" to take down an entire government— You could say that this is completely out of the blue.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa5yJJP3q6
Finally reaching Blues hideout, he'd let go of Reds arm before lifting the latch of the entrance so both of them could go inside. With him holding it open, he turned his head to look at Red who seemed to be taking in how hidden the door is.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuwA2qAyOa
Blue proposed to Red of her going into the hideout first, having his free hand signalling that it's open for her to go in now ."You can go in first, I... have to shut and lock the door after you." The gaze at Red coming from his face would be an obscene one, causing Red to then give him a stare containing mystification before walking down into the hideout.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDOIruheKA
The door made an audible sound as Blue shut it tight, then locking it up as Red eyed the room that is Blues hideout. Red had took notice of it being slightly messy in some area, a desk, bed, the usual, it had a calm, but an underlying transmutation intent to it—considering who's hideout this is. Walking over to Blue's desk, Red had started examining it closely, soon noticing his journal while Blue didn't notice as he was trying to clean up some messy spots in his hideout. Red had a sudden interest in the Journal, grabbing hold of it from a shelf then pulling it down to her normal eye height. Though, Blue heard the light shuffle from her trying to get a good grip of his Journal— looking back at his desk with a puzzled glare as he noticed Red starting to look through it.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYpgLPuoIj
Starting to walk towards his desk, where Red stood at still— now being behind her as he looked over her shoulder. "You're interested in my writings...? There's nothing much in there yet, I haven't had a lot of interesting stuff happen, shockingly. Though, I can tell that you'll be changing that..."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs0w0pjxQ8
A sudden jolt came from Red as she looked at Blue because the sound of his voice being so close. She didn't know what to reply back with, instead continuing to look at his journal entry's, a bit unamused; there currently being only 4.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6fbVocwRD
She'd look deeply at what he'd wrote in the 4 entry's, taking note that one of them was written just about an hour ago. "Yeah... I expected you'd have more, still it does seem like you really are positive you got this."
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB91z2HD3sK
Sitting and putting back the Journal where she'd found it, she could tell they're behind her still—just observing her actions deeply. She was wondering what the two of them were going to do down here, supposing that it's only the two of them to do this.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXWR9xsJTV
"Soo... what's exactly your plan to do this...?" Red felt like it had to be an atleast okay plan, considering how deep into this Blue seems to be. If it's dumb, or stupid or whatever it'll be, she'll probably be over with this crap of his.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7DauB67Su
That made him start to think for a quick moment, now backing a few feet away from Red before he'd tell her. What he had told her was that they could kind of just... go completely against Hemlocks rules, and he'd write all he can, and don't show a sign of backing down, being ungovernable— no matter what happens. Then maybe... there would be a way to get a large group of people on their side. He'd have other ideas like how to kill any Infiltrators— or even Deceivers that'd get in the way, he would explain this well to her. The voice of him jabbering somewhat as he's giving a lot of information in a short time, though sounding very passionate with his ideas.
95Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhBvRexPpl
Deceiver guards still lurked around the outside, unable to find Blue's hideout, and the friend group also being unable to find their friend. As minutes passed by in Blues hideout, he felt more connected to Red— it almost hurt, and it would hurt even more if anything remotely bad happens to her.
