Chapter 4
"What the?!"someone said then pulled me.
I was caught off guard, that she can pulled me where the right door is.
When I set my foot on the next room, she walked towards the door on my back and shut it.
I waited for her to come back at my front. She is walking and looks like planning to passed me, but before she can do that, I pulled her hand.
"Why did you pulled me?"I asked aggressively.
"What?, Didn't you be thankful instead, that I pulled you and now you're here. If I didn't do that, did you know what may happen to you?, ofcourse you don't, so let me tell you. If I didn't pull you, you're already a food"she stated. She's definitely a teenager.
"But--"she put her hand at my face.
"If you didn't really like that I pulled you here, well, you're free to go back. For pete sake I'm expecting atleast a thank you but looks like I can't get everything that I want, can I?"she murmured the last sentence but I was abled to hear it.
I want to say my gratitude for letting me and pulling me in this room, where it cannot directs me to the outside again, but the owner of the eyes. She's left alone in that room.
Her look at me, that look lingered on my mind.
I walked towards the door. I hear a sneer from my back, surely coming from that girl.
I put my ear on the door, hoping for something that I can hear unfortunately I can't hear anything.
Why didn't you follow us?, Why are just there in the corner and just watching?.
I tried to turn the knob but it was locked. Impossible, the door was just closed and the girl surely doesn't have a key on this door to lock this.
"Hey"I approach her. But maybe she has a key, and she lock the door in the time that I didn't notice that she did.
"Yeah, what?, Did your mind already understand what I'm saying?"I didn't mind her remarks and ask my question.
"Did you lock the door?"when the question leave my mouth, a confusion register on her face.
"Ofcourse not, how would I do that?"she said then eyed me curiously.
I simply shake my head and goes to the corner part where only few people we're there. Almost all of them we're placed in the center, there was some quiet and some we're talking at each other.
The place that I choose has enough light. There is a part in this room that doesn't reach by light, so that part is so dark that don't know if it has someone or something lurking there.
This room is big, though this room doesn't have windows. But there are things placed on the floor. There is one sofa on the far left but frames and paintings are placed on it.
There is also a sliding wall on the right side. It's slightly open but it's super dark there. There is also cabinets higher than a person and small cabinets.
Some plywoods are leaning at the cabinets.
Some of the plywoods looks unfinished windows. A wind blows and the only white curtain placed on the far right swayed. Near this, is a window made of glass.
A howl was heard that makes everyone quiet again.
I goes towards the girl earlier.
"What was that?"I ask her.
"Chasers, we call them chasers"she answered while eyeing the surroundings. It made me also scanned the whole placed, eventhough we can't clearly and enough because of the darkness, and there is no way that thing that howls can enter this room except the window and the door that was already locked.
"Why?"
"If they caught you, I don't know, but you will vanish"she smiled at me then eyed the right wall.
Vanish?!.
So what about that child earlier in that room?.
The room fell silent again and they all staring at the sofa. The paintings are slightly moving.
"I need to go at the room where child is earlier"I mumbled and slowly I advanced towards the door. They probably won't notice me because they all too occupied on what's happening on the sofa.
But I was immediately halted from walking when I turn my eyes at the door. It was a bit opened now.
Slowly, it moves to open but only in slight manner and a child emerges on it.
She walked slowly and quietly enter this room.
She walked towards our place and didn't lock the door. I saw behind her, the room where she came from. A silhouette of a wolf that was placed on the middle of the room.
I was shocked that my feet doesn't know what to do. It goes forward and backward.
I don't know what I will do. But knowing the child is successfully avoided that silhouette. Or did she has connection on it?.
In a flash, I closed my eyes and I put my hands on my head when it aches tremendously. My heart tells that she's innocent but my mind tells otherwise.
But my eyes flutters opened when I heard a scream.
The voice come from a woman, wearing a crop top and leather pants. She's scratching her neck. But she's also holding her head. Alternately her hands do the moves. Her nails are long that leaves a long mark on her neck.
"Argg!"she shouted in pain while she's already kneeling on the floor.
Her right hand pulled her hand, that makes her neck shown in full. While her left hand is approaching her neck.
My eyes widened at thinking what may she planned to do. I want to do something, but my feet stay rooted on its place. I don't know if I became deft, or the people with me is also quiet.
I want to shout, and said to others that do something and help her but it is also for me. Because even I, I can't force myself to move.
I was just staring at the girl while she continue screaming and her hands has other things doing. Her left hands is near to her neck.
The moment I found my voice, I opted to shout but a black form on the back of the woman makes me stop.
The sofa has enough light to cater the sofa but the back of it doesn't, the back has only dim lights that I can see a darker shade of something.
"Stop"I mumbled that only I can hear because of the weak voice that comes out from me, but my eyes are glued on the dark form, and I can't able to move my eyes away from it.
My eyes only turn at the girl when she suddenly scream so loud.
My eyes saw how she struggle but her right hand is tightly holding her head that some of the strands of hair are pulled and her left hand assulted towards her neck.
My eyes witness it. I saw how she killed herself.
I saw how her hands goes in and out of her neck.
She stopped breathing while her left hand moved on its own and pulled out it's hand on her neck. Drops of blood dripped on the floor. The crimson liquid are crawling down on her neck.
No one is moving and the whole place is so quiet not a single noise can be hear.
Suddenly a loud banged was heard.
We all moved our head to the door that's now widely open and the silhouette emerges from it.
It's running towards the child, claws infront aiming at her heart.
Rushed of energy, I felt the force from my feet that's why I run fast towards the child. To save the child. I know I can't reach her first but I continue running to her place.
The girl who pulled me a while ago also march towards where the child is, thankfully she's near where the child is that, she's able to put the child on her back. She became a shield for the child.
I blink and my eyes turn up when I heard a crack. The ceiling is falling.
On us.
It hit my shoulder. My sight is slowly losing it's sight. Before I can run to a safe place.
Darkness wins.
