RUN

RUN
Surprise Petak Umpet


I sat down with my legs stretched down on the table from a big rock. Now I am in a private room, which is my current home.


Mr. Arnold finally gave me a place to live, a dark room, smelling of weathered wood and also wet grass. Of course this is actually a forest, but with visuals that are deliberately made according to their hallucinations.


There was a bed from the chest, and it was enough to make me shudder. An old window with worn and torn curtains, which floated smoothly in the corner of the room.


A stone and a table made of wood are in the handle. This room looks more like a place where foreigners live, or a ghost like a vampire in the movies.


I, as a kuntilanak, just wanted a high place to roost. Whether it's a tall tree branch, roof of the house or on top of the closet. But, in this room does not provide all that.


I turned, peering into the outside window. I looked around, and realized there seemed to be a ghost in front of the gate of this building.


I sharpened my gaze, and realized that it seemed like it was the ghost of the little girl who accompanied me to this place. Si Nana's. Why didn't he leave and still wait for me there??


I immediately went through the wall, and flew to meet you Nana who was perched under a shady tree.


He seemed oblivious to my presence, and still moved his head left and right, singing small.


"You're not coming home?" ask me, make him scream loudly.


"Yahoo!!" strangulation, until it fell down from the top of the tree.


He fell down, really touching the ground because this island makes us able to freely touch anything.


"Sister, Nana's surprised!" he complained, moving and rubbing his chest.


"Kihihi, go home. It's night! Thank you for driving me." I said, making him frown very much.


"Then, brother how's his fate? Did Om Arnold refuse?" he asked, timidly looking at me.


"No, om it's good and allows me to stay temporarily in her attic." I said, making Nana gasp when she heard it.


"Aren't you lying?" tanyanya could not believe it. "Where could Om Arnold accept brother. Brother is not a handsome-looking kuntilanak ghost, so he should have refused right?" smith again. So he also knew the requirements Mr. Arnold had to be part of it.


"Can. The proof is that I live there now. Already, just go back there to Farisa's rotten residence." I said, trying to expel him.


"Sister is safe, right?" I nodded hearing his question. "Yeahahay!! Then tomorrow morning Nana comes again, yes, Nana wants to play with her sister and go around on this island, will you?" tanyanya passion. Rejected pity, if followed sucks. But, there is no harm in also going around in this place. You can wonder about this place.


"OK." I said. Nana again shouted happily, turning around and flying away from me.


"May the sun rise soon, now Nana is back first" he said, waving at me.


I just kept quiet and floated, letting him go further and further away from sight.


So think of the conditions proposed by Mr. Arnold. If I do, will Nana be affected as well?? But.. do I care? As long as I don't know what I'm doing, there won't be a problem for me.


I went back inside, flew up and pierced through the walls of the room. When my body slid into it, I gasped as I looked at Abbe who had suddenly appeared inside my room.


Abbe and I fell silent, creating a silent atmosphere with sadistic eyes glancing from him.


"Well! I thought it was a ghost, it was you!" I complained while rubbing my chest.


"What do you think I am?!" his reply.


"Why did you go into someone else's room? It's not polite to know!" my protest, while squinting at him.


"I came because you broke the reasonable limits of your use of power!"


I nodded, not understanding his words. "Look?"


"You!" He charged in front of me, pressing down while pushing my chest with one hand. "You should have flown through the wall, right?" tanyakanya.


"Why is that?"


"You know, all ghosts should not use that power without the permission of the Goddess. So, you can't be as good as you do that, let alone in our residence, the ghost of kuntilanak numpang!" ledeknya, make me frown annoyed.


"So in the middle of the field there, I saw ghosts that gathered using their power, even you also attacked me with strength too right? Where is his fault? Have you asked the Goddess's permission to attack people all of a sudden?" asked me, making him gasp and look clumsy. He was silent, looking wrong while rubbing his nape.


"It's obvious you lied to say it. You demon damn thing! Out there!! I can't accept guests entering by penetrating another ghost room!"


My words made his neck veins come out. His face flushed as if holding back resentment and anger. "How dare you say that to a ghost who lives here, huh? Satan hitchhiking!"


"Yes, it's a ride! Yes yes, I am lazy to argue if the interlocutor is stupid, so that's the exit! Or just hit the wall, who knows if your teeth will fall out because of the wall!"


"Currently, I came here to deliver a message from the teacher for you!" he said later, with a voice still at his side. "Tomorrow morning, come to the altar in the middle of the building. There's gonna be this thing he showed you. Don't be late to not come there!"


"And one more thing I remind you, so you don't use your powers!" abugn. After delivering the message, Abbe instantly vanished like smoke in the wind.


.........


The next day, I peeked outside, ascertaining whether there was a ghost that would surprise me secretly or not.


This room looked so empty, was it still too early in the morning?? But the sun appeared to rise.


I went out of the room and flew around the room. There is nothing special, except the strange sounds that are heard, typical of the sound of an empty building in the middle of the forest with many animals lying in it.


Which room is the altar?? My mind is trying to find it.


While walking around, I found an empty place that was quite large, with poles in the middle of the building.


There's no one there, did Abbe lie to me?? Even if the teacher asked me to meet him, he should be in here, has he not come yet???


"Excuse me?? Master, are you here or not?? He said he wanted to make a deal, what lie??" I said, making my voice echo in this room and again reflected into my ears.


I glanced around, ascertaining whether he was hiding or how. Suddenly I gasped, when I realized that there was an aura of great power in this place, just that it was invisible.


"Teacher??" I said hello again, hoping that an answer would be heard.


Nothing???


I looked up and stared in one direction. Suddenly, from the direction of my footing, there was a dense hot aura.


I lowered my head, and saw a ball of reddish light appear and as if it was thrown at me.


Hurry??


I floated, dodging the attack by jumping backwards and landing perfectly standing.


But again I was struck by a ball of light that did not break in place, but followed where I was avoiding. Of course I was the first to see a solid ball of light that could follow me could not avoid, I was too kagok and let the ball break hit my chest.


I crashed into the blast, hit the wall and fell right on the floor of the altar room.


"A.. What is this?" I complained of pain. Suddenly attack?? The number of auras that is more than one?? What do they want??


Unable to stand, the ball of light had reappeared from under the floor. Now it is not just one, but there are two balls of reddish light.


Without waiting for the cue, the ball of light immediately shot up, trying to hit me again. I clapped my hands to the floor, making my light body bounce and dart upwards.


Of course the ball of light flew towards me. I floated and flew away quickly, chasing with the two balls.


I spun in the air, with a straight body like a Superman in flight. My forehead was open, because the wind blew my hair out loud.


I looked back, saw the ball was so close and...


Boooom!!


The loud explosion happened again. The two balls hit me, knocked me to the ceiling, then slammed onto the floor again.


I coughed, spewing something out of my mouth. Fresh blood liquid mixed with lumps of meat splattered on the floor.


I lay on my stomach, spewing it out so many times because it felt really sick. I grimaced while wiping the blood in my mouth with the back of my hand, looking up, as there was no special object I could see.


"Why are you attacking me?" my grumbling, with a raucous voice.


There was still no answer, and this time the ball of light came back as if it did not give a pause. It is no longer two, but three.


I frowned, flew back and let the ball of light chase me again.


Is this a trap? They should not have accepted my presence but suddenly the decision changed, right after Abbe said that the teacher advised me to meet the leader.


This makes a little bit of sense, moreover I feel a lot of aura in this room even though they are invisible. Do they exist and deliberately attack me to prove something??


If this is true, what should I do?? Take out my strength and prove that I deserve to be in this place, or shut myself down and let the ball of light continue to attack, at the risk that I will be driven out of this place.


On top of that, last night Abbe said that I should not just unleash force, it seems like they were deliberately trying to drive me away subtly, attack me and forbid me from using this power.


I kept on darting, spinning through pole after pole while looking back, and letting the ball of light still follow me.


The huge aura gathered beneath the floor. It looks like they are hiding there and seeing what I am going to do.


If I can't use force, then the best way to attack these annoying ghosts that trap me is...


By making this ball attack them!!


I sped up, flying towards the bottom where the power was felt. I just suddenly stopped, and let the light approach and burst into my body again.


Mats..


Mats...


Mats...


Sweat dripped down on the forehead, while waiting for the light to shoot out quickly. When both of my eyes are facing the light...


Yuuuuuum!!!


I darted quickly to dodge, causing the ball to lose its direction and fall to explode on the floor, causing the floor to turn into smoky little fragments.


I quickly returned to the place, precisely into the smoke that was billowing earlier.


The smoke slowly thinned, making my gaze catch some panting figures around me.


The smoke that covered my face faded, and I could see their faces. I smiled, staring at the annoyed look on their faces.


"Are you playing hide and seek?? Finally out too. No pain, the light ball?" I asked, making a grin clearly visible from the faces of the ghosts in official uniforms.


"Currently, a ghost at the speed of light!" they murmured, along with the blood flowing from within their mouths.
