C301: Bride's maid

"Have you heared the rumours? A woman in her bridal gown walks every 4AM in the morning." The woman beside Nimrod spoke.

It's a self study session since their subject teacher is absent.

"Yes, they even said that her neck overflows with blood." Another on replied.

"It was scary, the internet is going crazy about it." another one supported.

Nimrod stood up and approach them who started squealing and retouching their make up.

"Can I join you? I heared something interesting." Nimrod introduced.

The girl nodded and filled him in.

Nimrod visits the comfort room and heared the same story.

"Yeah, some people say that the bride appears to snatch a groom." One boy commented.

"No, she might be looking for her food." Another one added.

"Nope, I heard that she resembled the bride that got shot on her wedding because of her ex." Another boy added.

Nimrod got bothered by how the story spreads and searched for his brothers.

Kahieli was eating his lunch at their club room. Sycamore had a book in his face and is sleeping. Nimrod spoke about the rumours he heared and Kahieli said.

"Ain was grumpy because of the same headline. I don't really know but maybe we can talk with Agsus and Taffy for any caught on camera from any private footage." Kahieli replied.

"Yeah, how I wish the bride would take Ain as her groom. So that he stops his complaining." Sycamore yawned.

"That is not funny!" Nimrod scolded.

The next day, the three girls whom Nimrod got information with are absent. Nimrod just ignored it but the following days, it bothered him.

"Maybe, they went on an outing." Sycamore replied.

"An outing for almost a week?!" Nimrod countered.

"Don't get bothered by it," Kahieli said as Nimrod had his eyebrows twitching in irritation. Sycamore wanted to tease his younger brother and said.

"Don't tell me your having an affair with those girls."

Nimrod gnashed his teeth and answered back.

"No, I was just worried and curious!"

Sycamore chuckled when Nimrod bought his jive.

"Oh.,that is more suspicious."

Nimrod glared at Sycamore and walked out of their room. He banged the door that it startled the others.

Urchin halted at Kahieli and Sycamore who was surprised.

"What happened?"

The two just shrugged at Urchin.

Nimrod walked out of the house amidst of Kish's protest. He was pissed at how his brothers always take everything he says as a joke. He checked his pocket and gladly he had his wallet. He rode the bus and contacted Taffy.

Taffy was surprised to see Nimrod in his apartment. Nimrod had him swear not to tell the others that he decided to stay the night with him.

"Okay, so today I will treat you!" Taffy happily welcomed Nimrod and took him to buffet area within their hotel. Nimrod forgot about his anger upon seeing the variety of food presented in his face.

It was getting late but Nimrod is not home yet.

"Hey, aren't you two worried with your youngest brother?" Ain nagged.

The two just shrugged and replied in unison.

"He will get home later."

But they were wrong it's already dawn and Nimrod did not get home. His spy camera are off. His phone were out of reach and no one knows where he is. Thanks to Taffy who kept his words with Nimrod.

When Kahieli told them about the rumours, Agsus instantly checked the social circle and found it as the most searched.

"Nimrod's suspicion might be right." Agsus stated and showed them a clip.

Kahieli paused when a new footage appeared.

"This three girls were the one Nimrod was talking about."

"So the bride is gathering her maids?" Agsus asked.

"Maybe, wait could it be that your slit on the space was taken advantage off?" Fur voiced out and eyed Ain.

Ain tilt his head in confusion and said.

"I don't know, maybe."

"Does it have a page?" Ole asked as she sat beside Saga.

Saga clicked his desktop and investigated.

"Yes, but it has a lot."

Agsus nod his head and they tried to track which one is true.

"This is getting unpleasant. It felt like it was an occult." Fur remarked.

"Now that you mention it, the girls were also discussing about it on our class." Cherith spoke.

"Yep, I also heared their chant. Wahi-Wahi, Hega-Hega, Cu-cu-cu." - Urchin sang.

"That sounded sweet." Saga remarked.

Ole tried her version and the men started to feel horrified.

"It sounded like a horror teaser." Kahieli commented.

Nimrod woke up early and wanted to confirm the rumours. He checked the time on his phone and woke Taffy. Taffy being the cheerful lad insisted to accompany Nimrod.

The two entered the empty road and found it strange.

"Usually a lot of people were jogging at this time but the street is empty." Taffy commented as he look around.

Nimrod sensed something evil and heared the chant. Taffy shivered and held Nimrod's arms like a lady.

"What's with this scary vibe?" Taffy whispered.

Nimrod pulled him over and they hid on the bushes.

The bride marched in the middle of the road, Her walk made the entire atmosphere cold.

Taffy quivered when he saw the view. After the bride, a line of ladies in their white dress followed. Nimrod recognised the three girls that he talked with by the class. The dreadful become more ghastly. They are about to turned on the next block when Taffy's alarmed clock ringed.

"Wake up handsome. Time to work. La-lu-la-lu." Nimrod clicked his tongue as Taffy tried to kill his stupid alarm.

They are about to escape when the bride came face to face with the two and hummed.

"Hey handsome,"

Taffy had his mouth convulsing and is searching for words since he is frightened.

"He... He.. lloooow." Taffy tried to sound like a monster.

Nimrod examined the bride and her posture was the same of what the girls had described.

Pale face and reddish eyes. Valvet lip tint and a hole in her neck where the blood was dripping. Nimrod eyed Taffy who fainted from. fear.
