I woke up. I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Irvan and Nofi were massaging my head.

"What is it?" I asked in a low voice.

"Thank goodness you didn't notice? You fainted and groaned, we were afraid something might happen to you," said Irvan.

I shake my head, I just remember that the air is getting colder and my eyes are heavy, I think I fell asleep.

"Eh, you said earlier that there was Mrs. Axton?" my sister asked.

I nodded, it felt like my head and body were still weak. My stomach is queasy too.

"Are you serious?" my sister asked.

"Didn't you see who was behind it?" I asked.

My sister shook her head, I then asked Riko, Nofi and Irvan, to look at their car.

"I don't see anything Ric, we're covering the two cars in front of us, how can you see?" he asked.

I then looked ahead again, it was true what Irvan was talking about, the two cars covered their car, how could you see what was in their backseat. Then what did I see?

"I felt like the car in front wasn't there, like I had overtaken them,

    They hung up. My phone rang again, it was Axton calling me again. I still don't pick it up, I'm now like a crazy person who doesn't know what's in my heart, sometimes I love it, sometimes I hate it. Like now, after meeting with Fajar and my brother's orders, I became lazy to communicate with Axton.Axton texted me, 'why didn't you pick up? Where? Why don't you come in?' he asked, I just read and lazy to reply.After 10 minutes passed, my three best friends came. They brought a lot of snacks."It's really nice if we are here every day, starting tomorrow people are also ready to try out, so we rarely study, we must go home early," said Irvan."Yes, indeed, Robert is the only one who is stupid in using a permit, even though the day after tomorrow I have four days off," said Doan."It's not like that, right now I'm not going in, so you still have to get permission," I said."Why do you use everything to the hotel? Your house was confiscated by the bank? asked Irvan irritably."It's fine,

    "Ah, yes, sir, my friend is coming from Roma, hehe,""Oh I see, I think I saw it earlier, because I parked for a while below, okay then, good afternoon,""Afternoon sir,"Fredgie hung up the phone."Isn't it crazy? It's like it's impossible for him to call me just to say something like that," said Riko."Shall we change hotels?" Nofi asked."Tonight we stay here, tomorrow we'll see if Fredgie comes in and his movements are suspicious, then we move," said my sister.We nodded, I now leave everything that happened to my brother's decision, I'm sure he can take a wise attitude."Ric, you have to change your number, tonight I'll buy you a new number, you really have to break up with Axton, I can't support you and her, this is all for you," said my sister."Okay, I do what you say," I said.I really don't want to have to change numbers, however I still have a little faith in the info Axton often shares with me. I still have the intention to help him, but I also don't know what else to do,

    "Well, Ric, what are you going to do, it's impossible now for you to be honest and tell him, then suddenly call him using your current number, you have to be sincere if you really want to live in peace," said Doan."There is PS here," said Irvan, breaking the silence."Come on, come on, you've eaten now, that's breakfast from Ryan and we will also bring it for you," Zero said."After eating, join immediately," said Doan. Then they were busy looking for games on PS that my brother brought.My sister called."Hello, are you awake?""Yes, Sis, here is Irvan or the others have come,""Oh that's good, brother, I have to go to Bandung, I have an external assignment, but in a moment, later that night my brother will come back with Nofi and Riko, just invite your friends to sleep there, so we'll be busy,""Yes, they have brought clothes instead,""Yes, my brother will be there in a moment, please leave the money for you to eat,"My sister hung up the phone. I've never seen him pay this attent

    "Robert... Robert... Robert..." The voice was faintly heard, I tried to open my eyes. I looked around, everyone was fast asleep."Robert... Robert... Robert..." Whispered the voice, I woke up. I walked around the room, I listened carefully to where the sound was coming from.“Robert… I'm here…” The voice came from behind the balcony window. I opened the balcony, that's where I saw Axton was standing blankly looking ahead. Axton is wearing a white dress."Axton?" I said.Axton didn't turn around, she just kept calling my name, Axton seemed to be floating, now she was right in front of the fence."Axton, what are you doing? How did you know I was here?" I said.“Robert... Robert...” was all that came out of Axton's mouth.Axton turned to face me, then she said, “Bye.”Axton suddenly dove down the balcony, suddenly I screamed and jumped to catch her.BROK!!!!I fell on the roof of a car that was parked in the lobby downstairs, I didn't realize anything, all I thought I heard was my siste

    Looks like my sister was seen wiping her tears and trying to be strong, she then walked slowly towards me."I'm sorry bro, you know what, you've been great, dek. After you are in a coma for four days, you are strong enough to carry out everything, you must recover and be enthusiastic, "he said."W-aaa..." I said as I opened my mouth and played with my eyes. In my heart I was shocked and screamed, “HUH?? FOUR DAYS??????" Does that mean I've escaped Axton's snare? That means their plan to take me to the sect master is over."Ric, get well soon, there are greetings from friends at school," said Irvan talking to me.Again I can only sound like a chicken in pain, it feels like laughing seeing myself like this.Maybe because of the effect of the drug, I fell asleep very quickly, if I woke up for twenty minutes or half an hour, after that I would definitely go to sleep and wake up the next day. Because of my heavy eyes, I then closed my eyes and fell into a deep sleep.I woke up the next day

    "All right, all right! Don't mention her name anymore! No more Axton Axton, it's over!” my sister looked very upset."So, I'm already a week past their plan right?" I asked."Eh, yes, yes, you have passed a week, Ric," said Doan."Robert, you just recovered, I hope you don't have to think too much about things like that," my brother said."No, Sis, don't worry, you don't have to go to school?" I asked."No, no, it should have been there yesterday, but we have permission to take care of you, that's why our teacher also said, no problem, because we are also not studying," said Irvan."Thanks, you guys are the best. Oh yeah, I have a story that might make you really not believe it, "I said."Well, tell me, don't take long," said Doan.They all had serious and curious faces."I dreamed I met Leo," I said."HAH! Dawn's cousin?" my sister asked."Yup, I don't know, when I opened my eyes, all I saw around was white and there was only a bench, so I sat on the bench, well when I saw it, sudden

    They all turned around, it turned out that Irvan, Zero and Doan were already there."Ric, you have to listen," said Doan approaching me, because it seemed very important that I sat down on the bed."What?" I asked."Icha and Mega went missing, they said it's been two days and today, Erika called me excited, their parents were looking for them to go to school, Icha and Mega gave permission to do assignments with Axton, they said, until now they haven't even come back, they can't even get on the phone , said Doan.Immediately I got goosebumps, "HAHA???!! Good grief!!!! They didn't do anything wrong!" Instantly I could not control myself, suddenly I cried and screamed as loud as I could."Robert, why is that, Robert calm down Ric," said my brother trying to calm me down.“IT'S ALL MY Fault, MY WRONG, GUEEEE SALAAAAHHH! AAAAAHHH!!!!!!!” I cried and couldn't control myself, actually I didn't want to be like this, somehow it just happened.Because of panic, my sister immediately called the

    We stopped not far from the house, after waiting a few minutes, suddenly Fredgie and Axton came out, they were wearing black clothes, I couldn't take it anymore and was sick of seeing all their plans, suddenly got out of the car and shouted call their names.“FREDGIE! AXTON!!!” I shouted near the car.They turned their heads, Axton looked taken aback, she then ran over to me."Robert," he said, his hand trying to hold my face but I brushed it off. Fredgie laughed then walked over to me."DON'T HURT MY BROTHER!" My sister and the others suddenly got out of the car."Oh, so the whole group?" said Fredgie."We're here to pick up Icha and Mega, you have the heart, Chel," I said pointing at Axton."If you want to meet them please come inside," said Fredgie, he then whistled and several members with black headgear came out and pulled our hands to go inside."Let go woy!! What do you want!!” I said struggling, I saw Axton crying."Just take me DOG!!!! Leave them alone,” I shouted, begging my

    "Well, that's really fitting," added Doan.I thought for a moment, "Hm.. Okay.""Well then, I'll ask Erika where is the address of the social institution where Axton is now," said Doan.I sat on the edge of the bed, I still couldn't understand it, how did the paper reappear, is this really an old chapter that hasn't ended yet?"I've asked Erika, just waiting for her reply," said Doan."Okay," I replied.POV: AXTONAxton was asleep, but suddenly her eyes opened and turned white, her mouth opened and said something, I don't know what she said, because only the movement of her lips was visible and her voice did not come out. At that time, Axton was alone in her room.Suddenly a black cloaked creature appeared in front of Axton, it bent towards Axton's face and blew something into her mouth.Axton's hands moved and tried to strangle herself, Axton's face started to turn red, she was having trouble breathing because of those hands. The figure then pulled Axton's tongue which was starting t

    I chose to sleep on the floor, because the weather was very hot. I took off my clothes, only wearing a white singlet shirt and cartoon prints, I lay hot on the floor.I tried to close my eyes that were already sleepy, but every time I closed them, the image was always there, as if calling me to come see her. Axton, yes that image is of course Axton's shadow, every time I fall asleep she always comes wearing a white or black dress sitting on a long bench with a blank stare, I don't know why I can see such an illusion, whether it's a sign or just my longing that turned into a pseudo imagination in the brain."Do I really have to call him?" I mumbled to myself, I hate it when I want to sleep, I have to feel like this. Doan had caught up with Irvan, they were both really sleeping soundly. While I'm still struggling with thoughts that I don't really know what to do. I really want to go see him, but honestly there is a sense of trauma in my heart, I'm also confused why I can be fickle like

    "Axton, let's eat your breakfast first," said the caretaker.Axton woke up from her sleep, she looked around, the psychiatrist who had accompanied her all night had gone home, now she was with the nursing home staff."Thank you ma'am," he said."Are you okay if you're left alone?" he asked."No, ma'am, I'm feeling better, I can be alone," Axton said."Okay then, don't forget to eat breakfast and your medicine, okay, Anya's doctor will come and accompany you again in an hour," said the officer.Axton nodded, she then lay back down on her bed, her gaze looking far away, she must have been thinking about all that again,"How long have I been here ma'am?" Axton asked."Until you are deemed to have recovered enough and the police officers have finished collecting information," said the officer."I'm also confused after this where to go and how," Axton said, her eyes widening."You don't need to think about it now, the most important thing is that you have to be able to recover all your tra

In a moment, the police had surrounded the room.“HAND UP EVERYONE!!”"What is this?" asked Axton's mother so gently."We from the police received a report that here there is a practice of black magic that has claimed many victims," said the policeman while holding out his weapon.“Hahaha, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!” Suddenly Axton's mother screamed, her shrill ear hurting and scary.“WHY DO ANYONE BREAK EV

    Suddenly the faces of the three of them became panicked, we looked at each other and then we hugged, to be honest we are only seventeen year olds who have no experience in dealing with supernatural things like this. Five minutes later, the knock reappeared. This time the knocking was repeated until the doorknob was played. We started screaming in fear. In the midst of that fear, my sister called."Hello kaaak!"“OPEN DOWN!” I immediately stopped whining and looked at my three best friends, then stood up and headed for the door. I slowly opened it while closing my eyes and what appeared this time was my sister, Nofi and Riko."Gosh, what are you guys doing," my sister said."Earlier before you, someone was knocking too but when I opened it there was no one, that's why we were scared," I said."Come on, maybe this hotel guard, the important thing today is that nothing strange happened, right?" my sister asked.I shook my head. My sister brought sponge and food for us, she put it on the

    After discussing and convincing me, we decided to follow their car, Kak Nofi's house is a highway that is always used when we go to Puncak, we can easily wait for them on the side of the road and follow them.Two more hours to seven, we each showered and got ready to leave. We borrowed Nofi's clothes, I asked my friends to tell her parents that they might come home late or not even come and stay with me. After getting ready we left Nofi's house to a restaurant on the side of the road, we would eat and wait for them to pass there. Hopefully what we have planned does not fail, hopefully there is a clue that can lead me to the gate of escape from all this tense things.It's seven o'clock, we're all in the car, Axton still hasn't texted. Five minutes later, Axton texted me, saying they had started walking. We started to square off, our car parked facing the street, I sat in the front seat so I could see Fredgie's car. We had estimated that they might pass in fifteen or twenty minutes. Sur

    "I'm sorry, Robert, I can't do anything," he said.“You don't have to do anything, you just need to stay with me and deal with this,” I said soothing Axton.Axton cried for a long time, we understand very well how shaken Axton's soul is if she has to keep witnessing this terrible event.My eyes fell on a car parked across the park, it was Fredgie's car. I calmed Axton down and told her that Fredgie's car was there.We immediately hid as much as possible among the bushes nearby. A few minutes passed, Fredgie came walking towards the car, he was on the phone, it was not clear where he had come from. Fredgie then left.We decided to go home, afraid that Fredgie would pretend to spy on us. I escorted Axton to the front of the market, she then walked towards the house. Her eyes are still red, I ask her not to cry anymore, and call me if something dangerous happens.Me and my three friends headed to my house, as planned today we will go to visit sister Nofi's neighbor, Nofi's house is appro

    "Are you still old?" I sent the message to my sister.My sister replied, "No, in a minute".I can't wait for my brother to come, a long time, suddenly someone pulled the chair in front of me, Fredgie."You're Axton's friend right?" he said, "May I sit down?"I looked at him sharply, "I'm his girlfriend, just sit down" I said curtly.Fredgie smiled then pulled out a chair and sat across from me."Maybe you've seen me, I'm Axton's cousin, I happen to work here" he said.I nodded, "Don't you live in Bandung?""This is my parents' company, I only come here once a few days, to check work, I'm one of the leaders of this company, by the way what are you doing here?" he asked.Before I could answer, my brother came over."Loh, there is Mr. Fred, good afternoon sir" said my brother."Good afternoon too""Excuse me sir, do you know my sister?" my sister asked.Fredgie turned to me, “Oh this is your sister?
