CHAPTER 11

"You were there!" Anthony turn more paler than he already is by knowing the fact that his brother knew about the incident. "Yeah.. but don't worry. I won't tell mom that you are the one who broke her vase. Unless you pissed me off.." Alex smirked while he lay back on his bed to get some sleep. "And if you don't mind. please get off from my bed." Alex say while closing his eyes.

Anthony slowly get off from the bed and head to his own bed to continue reading his storybooks. Alex try to sleep but suddenly he realized something when he was drowning earlier. The tall figure! Is the figure is just Alex's imagination or is it real? Alex keep thinking about the figure nut then decided that it is only his imagination. Alex than fall asleep.

*TIME SKIP BROUGHT TO YOU BY MY LAZINESS*

Alex wake up when it is already dusk. He feel so much better when he woke up. But Alex feel like it is too quite like there were only him in the room. He got up from his bed and take a look around the room and finally noticing that Anthony wasn't there! "Anthony! Where are you!" Alex search for his little brother around the room. But there were no sign of Anthony anywhere.

"Maybe he is playing somewhere at this villa.." Alex try to think as positive as he can. Even though Anthony seems like he is brave enough to go anywhere in the villa alone, but the opposite happened with Alex. Even though Alex try to think positive, but all the strange things that happened to him is so terrifying. It is strange, isn't it? Why did all the horrifying things always happened to him? Only him!

Alex take a look at the clock that were hanging on the wall. It is almost the time for dinner so Alex quickly get ready before slowly walked to the dining room. Alex assume that Anthony is already at the dining room so Alex doesn't have to search for him. The villa is to quiet, like there were only him in the villa. Like an abandoned villa.

Alex is now at the first floor, walking to the dining hall. He must walked through a lot of room to go where he wanted to now. While walking, Alex somehow heard some laughing and talking sound coming from one of the room there. Alex take a look around the hallway.

Suddenly he see a room at the end of the hallway or should we called it at the back of the villa. The area which Alex had never went to. The villa was to big for Alex to explore it. It might take a whole week to explore the whole villa. Also, Alex doesn't want to be like a hero in the movie who is so brave to check every single room in a house. But Alex is very curious about the room. He wanna know who is in the room but Alex know that he shouldn't go there.

Alex had a mini mental arguing whether he should go and check the room or continue his way to the dining room. But Alex's curiosity take control on his mind and body so Alex decided that he should go and check the room. Knowing that it might bring trouble to himself, as the saying goes 'curiosity killed the cat'. But the curiosity inside his mind keep telling him that he should go there. Human's curiosity sometimes can help you but it mostly just giving you troubles. It's scary isn't it?

Alex just slowly making his way towards the room which is slightly opened a little revealing some source of light that coming from the room. Alex admitted that he is scared. Scared of what he will find in the room. But at the same time, he is curious on whose laughter is that. With shaky legs, Alex continue his way towards the room.

Slowly, he open the door and sigh in relieve. There he saw a large sofa which is facing away from the door and a 65 inch TV. The room is dark but the TV is on so the light that Alex saw earlier were coming from the TV which is showing Anthony's favourite cartoon. It's Winnie the Pooh!

"Oh! So the laughing and talking sound I heard earlier is just coming from a TV. Haha, I scared of nothing!" Alex smile while mentally scolding himself for being so scared. But as soon as Alex stepped out from the room, the realization hits him! If there were no one in the room, then why would the TV as on.

Alex can feel himself freezing at the thought in front of the door. He turned towards the room back and began to entering it for the second time. Alex carefully walk to the sofa and he is so shocked to see Diana was there! Alex think about an explanation on why would a doll watched a cartoon.

But when Alex turn his gaze towards the TV, he still heard the laughing sounds even though the scene in the TV isn't funny at all. Just then Alex realize that the sounds isn't coming from the TV but instead it's coming from the sofa where Dianna where sitting on. He then giving the doll his full attention to see whether the doll is really laughing or not.

The doll is like understanding what Alex trying to do and start to laugh more and more but this time the laughing sound very scary.... and demonic. Dianna isn't moving but the sound just coming out from her mouth. Making Alex lost his balance and fall on the floor. Alex try to get up from the floor but his legs aren't functioning anymore!

While Alex is busy trying to get up to run away from where he is now, he feel a very cold hand is trying to touch his shoulder. Being a coward Alex is always be, he is screaming for help when the cold hand made contact with his shoulder. Alex quickly turn around to see whose hand is that. Alex sigh in relieves when he see Sara staring with a cold face at him.

Just before Alex can opened up his mouth for asking Sara, what kind of room is this, Sara quickly ask Alex " What are you doing here, Alex?" with monotone voice and serious look on her face. " Get up!" Sara told Alex to get up and walked towards the doll and picked it up while turning the TV off.

"Hmm,,, I actually o-on my way to go to the d-dining room. But when I-I walked passed this room.. I heard some a laughing sounds coming from here. So I just got in here. But Aunty Sara,, is it true that the doll can talk?" Alex asking Sara while slightly hoping that Sara will answer it. Sara gave him one more cold stare and making sure that the TV is really off.

"It's time for dinner." Sara tell Alex while walking towards the door with Dianna in her arm and Alex who is following her to exit the room.

"B-but,,,,"

"No more but. Things that are kept as a secret have a reason that we shouldn't know. It's meant to be secret so that everyone can be happy! Also, things that can bring harm to ourselves is better to be kept!" Sara said while walking towards the dining room. Alex just followed her from behind, feeling all guilty. "Maybe I already reaches the limits..." Alex say in his mind while walking to where exactly he should go.
