Chapter 26 TISZ Wick

==================

Under the illumination of the candle, two person was walking in this darkness.

The person that walk past the tree are Nasrul and Zakiran. This people no longer walk just as slow as before this. Some strength has returned to Nasrul, this able Nasrul to walk on his own. He do not need to borrow Zakiran shoulder.

Before this Nasrul borrow Zakiran shoulder to walk. Now he did not it too much. With some strength returned to his body, he can walk on his own.

When they move together there only a little area they cover. Some item might be overlook when they walk shoulder to shoulder. With the movement of both of them unhindered, they begin to look around more vigorously for the last clue to be found.

Even though they goes from one place to one place that located here, the last still had not been found. So, they just left the place that they already search and move on.

Right now they walk to the new direction. Although the last clue has not been found they still hold their hope that the next place will had the clue. This is the only thing that they can do, to make sure that the fire of hope still burn it became the only way for them to survive now.

“There no clue at the last place, the next place will had that clue, I hope”

“The next clue might be there. It still too early for us to give up. Don’t worry about it”

With the last clue not found until now, Nasrul begin to feel restless as the time goes on as the place changing one… by… one. Together with Zakiran, they move to the next place. Not like before, now he move with Zakiran. No longer alone.

The existence of other person reduce the pressure that he feel. Facing the eerie atmosphere of this place with other person it will reduce the feeling of afraid the he feel.

Bam…

Bam…

Bam…

“What that sound just now?”

Hearing the weird sound suddenly that appear make both of them feel apprehensive. When that sound appear right now Zakiran ask what that sound. Even though he want to know what cause that sound to appear, it bad, because no one can answer him at this time.

Bam…

Bam…

As that sound resound a few more time, the small stone as big as a finger on the ground seem like it move. As that sound came with a ‘Bam’, the stone will move with it.

That sound moving closer as the time past. Not only just the sound became closer as the time past, the ground tremble with this. The trembling of the ground also increase when the sound move closer. It feel like the effect of small earthquake happen before the main dish came and mess up the place.

Bam…

Bam…

“What is that? Do you see it Nasrul?”

“I saw it and I also do not saw it”

“What you mean by that?”

“It means I saw the shadow although it only a blur and know that something really is there but I do not clearly saw what that is”

“What do you think is that thing? Is it one of the ghost children?”

“Yes, that the ghost children. No doubt about it. That silhouette with the big body given the feeling of a fat kid. If I am not wrong that must be Benny. One of the kid that will only attack us if we disturb his sleep but that in the game. Look at that kid, did it look like he carried something!”

“Yeah, what that thing is. It look really big. A slender place for the grip until it reach the head that almost look like a rectangular. It surprise me when it carried on the shoulder but this… we are in pinch are we not”

“Yeah, we are in pinch. If this still the same as the game, as long we run far enough it will stop chasing us. But now it different from the one that I know of. That Benny even had a giant hammer that as big as half of his size”

“Do you think that you can run right now?”

“I can. The adrenaline will do the job blocking the pain. I had no other choice. Can only depend on not reliable method. I can feel right now that it kick in”

“Alright then, we run on three”

“Hm”

“One… Two… Three…”

Swish…

On the count of three both Zakiran and Nasrul run as fast as they can from this place. They no longer care about anything. Only one word appear on their mind. That is ‘run’ as fast as they can from this place or they will not survive. In the mode of flight both of them run for their life.

The fat shadow that is Benny saw that both Zakiran and Nasrul right now running away from him. Seeing this, Benny then lower his posture. The right leg of Benny is at the front with the left leg at the back. Then Benny lower his posture more until he manage touch the ground with the right palm of his spread out while the left arm of him holding the giant hammer on the left shoulder. Then, Benny kick his right leg and running to the direction of Zakiran and Nasrul while holder the hammer.

Bam… Bam… Bam…

Every step that Benny take, it make the earth tremble like it gonna collapse. At the back of both Zakiran and Nasrul, Benny pursue them and it can be seen that Benny move closer and closer to them.

Hearing the sound that of the big step that slam the ground begin to be closer and closer, both Zakiran and Nasrul look at the back a little while continue running.

“”Gyarh…. Damn it close””

““Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh………””

Zakiran and Nasrul see that Benny begin to close up to them, their feet begin to speed up more as the feeling of fear and shock increased.

Run… Run… Run…

Swosh… Run… Swosh… Run… Swosh…

Running as fast as they can with Benny attack from behind. Benny attack from right to the left and then from the left to the right. Using that big hammer Benny swing at Nasrul and Zakiran. They run while under attack from Benny. Benny attack can be said that every time Benny move that hammer it just few millimeter from both of their body.

That speed of running had save them from the door of death every time Benny attack them. This is because just with a little graze is enough for Zakiran or Nasrul to lose speed and then fall prey to that hammer.

In the distance after sometime they try to flight from Benny.

“At the front what is that?!”

“That’s the back of the bus! Run to that bus Zakiran! Let us go! You jump through the back door, I will go through the front door! The door are open right now! We can make it!”

“Let go!”

Nasrul saw that the door of the bus, both of it are open. Right now the back of the bus facing them and the door to it is open. At the speed that they run right it will be enough for only a person to goes through the back. He also right now saw that some part of the door at the open was visible and that part can be seen when the door at the front was open.

Using that notion he pick to just enter through the front door although it farther than the back but still decide to enter through the front and it was decide that Zakiran will enter through the back door.

After they decide which way that they will enter, then a visible distance can be seen created as they move apart from each other so that they can enter easily through the entrance they want.

When the distance in one meter to the entrance of the back of the bus, Zakiran decide to jump and enter it.

Bom… crash…

Zakiran manage to enter through the back door and when he land from the jump, he had crash to the seat in there and feel quite a pain at the back of his head.

Nasrul at the time that Zakiran jump move to the front door. When they put distance to go to their designated entrance, Benny still chase Nasrul. Benny ignore Zakiran completely like Zakira not exist.

It make it seem that Benny already give up on chasing Zakiran as he saw that the place that Zakiran want to enter too close and he will not manage to give chase to Zakiran. This make Benny change target and began to target Nasrul.

Nasrul seeing that Benny still chase him without dropping any speed while attacking him, it make him to maintain the high speed that he use right now because the moment that his speed drop he will die.

Seeing that the door at the front really open Nasrul run using every strength that he can muster right now. As only half a meter left, he jump while trying to grab the side door to enable him enter by changing the direction in the air. When he jump at that time the… weapon use by Benny, the hammer. Draw close from the left side of Nasrul with only two centimeter apart.

“Ahhhhhhhh….! Make it……!”
