Chapter 8

David froze for a moment, trying to sink in the informations I just gave. I grabbed his arm, dragged him out of the lounge and quickly went to our room, to hide. I put heavy things to the door to block the doorway so that she could not enter the room.

"Our enemy is not Maya's soul. It is just a person trying to fool us. But the question here is who is that person and why she's doing this to us." I said.

"Are you sure that person is a girl? How did you know?" David said.

"There's a secret door behind the wall of the fireplace and I found a secret room down there. The room was full of monitors and there's a surveillance camera everywhere. It happened that I saw that girl on the monitor, and after a few minutes, I heard someone coming from the door in the right corner and I immediately get out of there." I said while looking around, searching for the possible places for a surveillance camera to put.

"I'll go look for something we can use as weapon." David said and went to the bathroom.

I found three cameras in this room. One, behind the painting that is hanging on the wall, the other is on the center of the alarm clock and the last one is in the bathroom.

"That's a lot of cameras." David said, looking at the tiny cameras. "That person loves to watch people suffer." He added.

"What did you found?" I asked.

"There's nothing really useful in here so, I detached the metal pipes under the sink. Here's yours." David said and gave me a metal pipe.

"If we want to get out of here, We need to face that person." I said. I looked out the window and saw the sun rising.

I will get out of this mess...

"Let's go." I said. We removed all the things that's been blocking the doorway and opened the door slowly. "There's nothing in he-"

I immediately flinched and closed the door because of the knife that swung towards me, my cheek are bleeding.

"She's here!" I said. "And she's armed with a knife."

We waited for minutes but we can't hear anything outside.

David opened the door and peaked outside but nothing was there. "I guess she moved. Let's hurry up. If we fight her at the same time, we have a chance to win." He added as we walk slowly in the hall.

Standing there, Killing time,

Can't commit to anything but a crime. . .♪♪

We heard a music playing loudly. She really enjoys what is happening right now. We ignored it and just stayed focus and alert of what will come next. We are now in the kitchen, trying to open the back door. David was at the other door, guarding while I was searching for the door key.

"Just break that door. She's not that stupid to left the door key there." David said, looking around outside.

♪♪... Once you get inside 'em

Got friends but can't invite them... ♪♪

I lifted up my metal pipe and hit the door, trying to break it. The door cracked and when I was about to kick it, I saw the girl outside, standing in front of the back door, holding a gun.

*Bang!*

The door broke and she put the pipe of her gun through the door.

"A shotgun!" David said and ran out of the kitchen. I lay down and avoid her bullets.

*Bang!*

♪♪... All the good girls go to hell

'Cause even God herself has enemies...♪♪

The door fell and she entered the house. She approached me then pointed her gun at me. She smiled devilishly and pulled the trigger.

Yeah... I finally came to an end...

*Click* *Click*

I can see her surprised expression through her black hood. She's out of bullets and she's not expecting that.

"The ghost seems like she's out of bullet, huh?" I said and immediately attacked her.

She stepped backwards, so I did not caught her. She was about to pull something from her back when David appeared, carrying a chair. He threw the chair to the girl and that made her fall but she stood up quickly and raised her gun that came from her back, pointing at me. This time, without hesitation, she pulled the trigger.

*Bang!*

I quickly dock my head and lay on the ground to avoid her bullet. But when I looked back at David, he's already laying on the floor, blood was coming out from his chest.

Nooo!

Out of anger, I attacked her and grabbed the gun on her hand, her hand slipped that made me snatch the gun from her. We're both catching our breathes. I raised my gun and pointed it to her.

"Who are you?" I asked.

She did not respond. She intended to kick me but I shot the vase near her. She froze because of what I did and slowly, she raised her both arms and put it behind her head as if she's surrendering. She knelt down and bow her head.

I put my gun down slowly to get the rope at the kitchen table but she attacked me again and this time, she forcefully getting the gun from my hands.

*Bang!*

We both dropped the gun and I saw a blood stain from her clothes. She fell on the ground and I approached her to uncover and see her face. I froze for a moment because of what I saw.

"Clara?! But... why?!" I said.

I cannot believe this.

Clara is the killer? But why? I really can't believe this...

I'm sure that I saw her car fall towards the high cliff and no one will be alive after that. Even if she tried to kill me and even she killed David, and the others, I tried to stopped the wound for bleeding but she lost many blood. She stopped breathing and closed her eyes.

What should I do?

I looked around me. It was all messy, blood are everywhere. Two dead people are here and It's both my fault. If I didn't dodge the bullet, David would still be alive. If I knew from the start that Clara was behind all of this, this could not happened.

I can't feel anything but fear. My hands we're sweating, my legs are trembling after realizing what could happen, I ran. I ran as fast as I could.
