End Journeys
falling asleep or waking up

Full moon in two days. They were getting more agitated because they felt their death was near.

"I've posted everything on my social media" Ruby said.

"We are too" Thomas and Felix said.

"The more your days get closer, yes" Ruby praised the closeness of her lover and ex-lover.

"How's your girlfriend doing?" ask Ruby.

"It's normal" replied Thomas.

"Aren't you following each other?" ask Thomas.

"Indeed, and insinuating each other," Ruby replied frontally.

"Hahaha I know that too," Thomas laughed at Ruby's reply.

"Didn't you have me now" Felix, who had been silent, spoke.

"Yes my dear," Ruby hugged Felix in front of Thomas, just like the hug Ruby used to do to Thomas when she was dating.

"I love you" said Felix softly.

"Me too, dear," they kissed in front of Thomas. Thomas just smiled at their behavior.

Actually Ruby also wanted to show Thomas that he was now much happier with Felix. Actually Ruby still holds a grudge but the time is not right for revenge.

"I have an idea" Ruby said.

"What?" ask Thomas curiously.

"We're streaming the place later that night" Ruby suggested.

"Quite death-defying" Felix responded.

"There is nothing we can do but spread this to the media so that many know, especially young people like us. They are usually willing to do anything to create viral content, right?" Ruby makes use of the nature of today's youth who will do anything for the sake of fame.

"Good idea, my lover is very intelligent yes," Felix praised as he rubbed his lover's head.

Geck.. Geck..

The sound of the room door being knocked. Ruby hides in a closet while Felix and Thomas get ready as if they are going to set out to find Ruby.

"What's wrong?" Thomas opened the door.

"Here's your breakfast," Poppy brought a tray of two bowls of porridge.

"Thank you" Thomas shut the door immediately.

Ruby came out of the closet and looked at the bowls.

"Don't eat!" yells.

"Why? We're hungry, you ate raw noodles this morning" Felix said.

"This aroma, like the spices I chopped yesterday in that place," he said.

"Then? Spices smell the same" Felix insisted on eating the porridge.

"Don't!" Ruby blocks Felix.

"Then what should we eat?" Thomas was annoyed that he was hungry.

They argued a little that morning. A woman fights two starving men in the morning.

"Why don't you listen to me? Can't you be more careful?" Ruby was very upset.

"Eat it, whatever," Ruby was so annoyed at the two of them.

Thomas and Felix ate the porridge. Ruby looked at them with an angry look, but how else, Thomas and Felix were already very hungry.

Ruby let out a long sigh, she felt like she had to finish everything herself that day.

"Ah, why dizziness?" felix.

"Me too" Thomas only realized that the porridge contained something.

"What the hell is this dope?" Felix, who is sensitive to new drugs, regrets his actions. Thankfully he had just eaten a little of the porridge, as well as Thomas who only ate two spoons and already felt dizzy.

He takes his cloak in the closet but is held captive by Felix.

"Darling, sorry we didn't hear you," Felix regretted while Thomas went to the bathroom to spit out his porridge.

"Damn the girl" he said from the bathroom.

"Ruby took a few spoons of porridge and put them in a zip lock where he put earrings. The earrings in the zip lock that he wears.

"I won't let you, '" stop Thomas.

"Can I count on you?" tears welled up in Ruby's eyes. He was very upset with the easily deceived men.

"We are stupid. We'll be more careful" Felix said as he staggered.

Ruby doesn't care anymore. He keeps Ruby's recordings on his memory card and then sends them to a friend.

"Hello" Ruby called her friend.

"How are you?" they sounded pleasantry at the beginning but then started chatting seriously.

Ruby's friend is a fellow writer in online media, as well as content creators who often discuss the supernatural, even he often visits empty houses.

The thing told by Ruby could be a field of money for her, so they were both mutually beneficial. Plus the number of comments that went into Ruby's Instagram about the sect. Ruby sent her location via Instagram to several people who sent her messages.

Ruby plans to live stream together with her friend named Amber.

"You'll tell your fans about live streaming first" Ruby said.

"I will announce it soon" he replied.

Ruby replied to the comments on Instagram. In addition, he also posted a video of Poppy carrying the porridge as well as Thomas and Felix who began to fall asleep because of the drug. He really wanted the sect to be destroyed, as the police assistance was unreliable back then. Even those who maintain the location that is used as a place for the sacrifice ceremony later.

Felix and Thomas are asleep. Of course there is a certain intent by giving them dope on their food.

"Are Felix and Thomas going to be kidnapped now?" Ruby.

He then remembered Anne who was held there. Ruby plans to check up and ask Anne for help.

When the cult members returned to where the ritual was going to be performed, Ruby slipped into Poppy's room as she still held the key Anne gave her.

He climbed up from the stairs in Poppy's room, it looks like Poppy just checked Anne's condition and left in a hurry because usually the stairs are not just placed in her room. Plus the upper ceiling which is the entrance is left open just like that.

"Is this a trap?" Ruby alert. Suddenly a step came closer to the room. Ruby immediately hid under the bed.

"This is a ladder that we can use to go up. There's my aunt, she'll tell you where their room is. You can lurk there," Poppy's voice spoke to someone. Then the man was seen climbing the stairs.

Ruby felt something warm around her neck, like a breath. When looking to the right, it was really just that a woman was also hiding under the bed.

Ruby almost screamed but the woman immediately smothered Ruby's mouth.

"It's me, Anne," she whispered.

Ruby felt a little calm as she did not need to go upstairs to meet him. Seeing that the person had already climbed the stairs, Anne and Ruby went to Ruby's room.

Anne took out something from her shabby jacket pocket, a small bottle filled with a thick, brown liquid.

"Is there drinking water?" ask Anne.

Ruby gave Anne a glass of water to drink, and Anne poured the liquid into the water.

"Imend these two men" he said.

Ruby took a spoon, scooped up the liquid-filled water and fed Felix first and then Thomas.

"The medicine will work within 30 minutes" Anne tried to calm Ruby down.

"How do you know the potion.."

"I stole it in my sister's room first, when I ran away," Anne cut Ruby's words.

"Isn't it broken? Given this herb has been stored for a long time," Ruby who just knew that the herb was very old was a little worried.

"Just calm down" Anne replied without giving an explanation.

Ruby told Anne the whole plan. Anne was amazed by Ruby's clever-sounding plan.
