Endless Winter's
Chapter 5: The Other Side

"Tidaaa.... Huh.huh..huh!" The same girl who woke up.

"Ughs... This... So confusing!" Murmured the girl.

The girl was looking around, no one. He wondered, what did he see in reality? If true, it would not be wrong if he still held his brother's knitting scarf full of blood.

"....Hey, little girl!" Suddenly a voice appeared out of nowhere.

"Huh...who else are you?! The narrator?" Terka The Girl while pointing her long barrel rifle.

"Kehehe.. follow my voice and you'll know!"

"..."

"Why? You scared? You alone? No one's protecting you?"

"How's this? Should I trust her? Last time I ended up bad!" In his mind, it was filled with pressure.

"Believe it or not, you can't beat your curiosity! I know what you're thinking!" That voice seemed to echo in Yukki's mind.

"How can..."

"..."

The girl was astonished at the sudden silence. Unbeknownst to him, he was unknowingly being peeked at by someone from behind a tree. Then, the girl turned her head in the opposite-place direction where she saw the shadow figure quickly leave.

"What was that?" Thought Yukki while slowly following the trail of the shadowy figure. Although it was only the blink of an eye, the figure still left quite a clear footprint. An unstoppable curiosity decides Yukki to follow him.

Soon, the trail ended up in a wide area like a field surrounded by a grove of trees. The girl was able to look up clearly without being covered in a banyan tree whose height made no sense.

"Yuuukkki...." The whisper echoed.

"Who is that? Is that you?" Yukki Sahut.

"Yukki...!" Again the voice appeared.

"..."

Yukki's legs couldn't bear to tremble, her breathing was irregular, her heartbeat was pounding.

"After you!"

"Eh...?"

Astonished, the girl tried to look back. To his surprise he was greeted by a shivering sight. How not, a figure that looks exactly like him is staring directly from a close distance and does not forget with a creepy smile that he has never seen.

"Huh... Who areyou!?! H-how can you be so similar to me?!" Pekik Yukki who fell.

"Keehehe....!" The figure laughed sinisterly with a look and smile that could give nightmares.

"..."

"Why so scared? I am you, you are me! There's nothing to be afraid of! Come here, I'll take away everything that's in your way!" Bargain the figure with a heavy hoarse tone intimidated the plain girl.

"No, you're not! Back off! Don't come any closer! I have a gun, and I don't hesitate to use it!" Yukki yelled trembling at his gun.

"Huh.it will be in vain. It is better not to be too rash, to have a powerful weapon it needs a great responsibility. And you should know that!" The figure's face started to approach Yukki.

"Shut up! I said don't come any closer, you monster!!!"

*Doooooor.....!!!!!

Yukki pulled the trigger.

"Look! It makes no difference, doesn't it! I told you."

"..." - ".The dumbfounded Yukki immediately ran off the ridge leaving the figure alone.

"Basic. What can I do...!"

Then the figure just disappeared.

On the other hand, the exhausted Yukki ran to and fro, eventually tripping over a rock and falling. Having a severe leg wound, Yukki decides to stop for a moment.

She tore the dull-looking white dress to treat the wound on her leg. After that, he seemed to be contemplating and leaning while enduring the continuous pain.

"My head hurts so much. I can't even tell which ones are reality and hallucinations... Can you continue all this? If only there was a big brother, he would always encourage me." Whisper Yukki who felt his body weak and lethargic.

"Yukkii.... Help me, Yukki!" Shouted an adult man.

"Sister....?"

"PLEASE....!!!!!"

"That's like his voice! Don't-don't..."

Thinking her brother had been alive, the girl rose up with a mysterious energy and rushed to follow the source of the voice, even though she had to stumble to make a move.

The girl ended up in front of the mysterious cave.

"Ugh... This cave is like... I've found it before. This is my hiding place with brother..." Mumbled the girl.

Instantly the girl felt quite a great pain from her feet. When it reopened, he found the wound was infected, plus a piercing cold that added to his suffering.

The voice lost its news, confusion befell it- Looking in various directions, not a single one. What do they look for besides white?

"Yukki...." The cave is like talking.

"Right, it's me. Please, this brother!"

Almost stepping his feet, Yukki remembered and thought for a moment.

"What are you waiting for, brother? Hurry up help me!"

"You think I'll get caught in your trap twice?! Who are you!?" With confidence, Yukki called out.

"What are you talking about, brother? Why don't you trust your own brother?"

"Well... I'm guessing you're not my brother! Who told you that we're siblings?" Yukki.

"Kehehehe.. turned out to be tired also to play the show..." The voice revealed his true self.

"..."

"..."

Silence struck-The girl knew it, but to step was too heavy for her. As if there was an invisible hand holding it, Yukki resigned to the situation.

Suddenly...

*Wooooshh....!!

"AH...!!!"

A swarm of black hands catches and pulls Yukki into the cave. As much as the energy gives the resistance, the results remain unchanged.

"aaa... Pl-please... Help me.... No...!!!" Yukki's last voice before him was devoured by a dark monster figure.

_____---------______--------_______

"Ugh... ouch, why do I always wake up with a dizzy head?!" Said Yukki staggering to get up.

Finding himself waking up in front of an old cabin that was familiar to him, made him more confused than usual. At times, he doubted the cabin he was staying in. How not, all previous events result from getting lost in the forest that looks the same.

"It's impossible, right? How do I... get back to the cabin?! Hahaha. whereas I-we met a lot of absurd things. It's a miracle I got back here! It's all a dream, right? Dreams right?" Yukki muttered as he spoke to himself.

Slowly approaching the shrimp cabin but still habitable, the girl without hesitation opened the rickety wooden door.

"Hello?! Is there anyone?"

The silence, silence, and darkness she felt. A bad first impression for him, tracing room by room. Paying attention to various damaged interiors such as photos of his family that are cracked, strangely blood spots cover both faces of his parents.

With enough courage, he traced deeper and wanted to check out his parents' second room.

*Krieeeekk....!!!

The door of the room was opened, sounding worn and loud. No longer imagined from behind that door. As a result, Yukki was devastated to see the two bodies are quite identical to the clothes of his parents. Where are their heads?

The question was unthinkable to him as he continued to be stunned and mentally shaken. No wonder the girl shed her tears.

"Keehehe.....!!!!" Appears the same figure is laughing at Yukki.

Yukki listened to the laughter from behind.

"Why are you...!"

"Heh... You murderer!!" Cry that figure while pointing to Yukki.

"Huh? A killer?" Ask the confused Yukki.

"Who else if not you! Hehe. You were quite ruthless when you swung that axe." Expose the Figure.

"No! You are! You must have done it, right?! Why do this?!!" Yukki turned things around.

"Haha... How funny! If I do, it still won't change the real facts! Because I'm you!" Sahut the figure with a smile and laughter is very scary.

"Hiks...Hix...Hicks...!" Suddenly, the poor girl cried again, crying for her brother, and her parents.

"Do you deserve to be in this world? No one will come and feed you, no one will come and protect you... And, no one gives a hug in this cold weather." Said the Figure.

The girl is still crying...

"Well. For the last time, I'll show you another dark fact... Actually, you're long dead!!!" Reveal the figure waving the bangs of hair covering his right eye.

Yukki saw a hole quite large, penetrating up to the skull bone. No eyeballs, just blackened holes exposed to frostbite.

It made him swallow his own saliva, his breathing was irregular, his body was trembling as he fumbled behind the bangs of his hair.
