Chapter 5:

The House

Have A Peek...



I can't enter Ako's house... No, not just his house... I can't even touch any house in this area. A peculiar invisible force is blocking me? What is this thing?

Seems lost of cause, Falir decides to go back to his home to confront the unknown woman by himself.

Where's everyone? This is weird. There's absolutely no one except the cult man before...

****

"Knock! Knock!" with a heavy heart, he knocking the wooden door of his house.

After a few minutes of waiting, there's no one replying to his knock. Falir looked at a vase and removed it from its place. There's a red key at the bottom.

I don't want to use this, but I'm tired of waiting.

"Klak!"

Once he unlocked the door, Falir quietly opens it so the woman will not hear it.  He carefully takes the step on tiptoe toward the living room without making any noise. He takes a peek to confirm the woman's whereabouts.

She's not here...

Then, he searched for the entire first floor which consist of the kitchen, one toilet, one bathroom and a small store. He found no one.

Is she on the second floor?

Falir braves himself to climb the stairs. One step at a time, he ascends toward the second floor.

"Krk... Kirk... Kirk..."

Not even a shadow of that woman arises yet. More of a reason why Falir feels uneasy.

He starts to check the room closest to the stair, his parent's room. It is already open a bit so he just pushes it a little to have a peek inside. No one inside.

Then, he goes to the second room which is his little brother's room. No one inside.

After that, he goes to his older brother's room and still no one is there.

Where's everyone? Where's mom?  Where's that woman?

After finishing every room except his, without a second thought, he rushed toward his room with confidence there was no one there also.

"Pak!"

And there's no one inside. He feels lost. He has no idea what's going on. Then, he relaxed on the bed.

"Fitan! Where are you?"

Huh? That voice... That woman's voice!

"Fitan- Huh?"

At the door of his room, there's the unknown lady that he met before.

"AHHHH INTRUDER!" the lady shouts out loud.

"Huh?" Falir confused. The exact same situation that he experiences before repeats itself like a deja vu.
