Death Nest

Hesitating, Nada swallowed hard. She stared at the stairs, tilting her head to see the second floor of the house where her room was.

Is this serious? Should she come back to set foot there? Nada didn't know what would happen to her. The arrow that just a moment ago had almost hit her, considering that was certainly terrifying.

"Yes, how can that be?" She asked herself, holding up both her bags as if to brace herself for what she had said earlier.

I don't know what triggered the creature in the glass dimension. She had tried her best not to make a sound, but 'they' still knew of her existence. Not to mention, Nada chose not to appear in front of the mirror, but somehow 'they' could also sense Nada's presence perfectly.

Exhaling, she had no conclusions about any of this.

Living with the shadow of the terrifying black creature, really couldn't make her come to terms with life.

Finally, she tried to strengthen her heart with a breath that seemed to dispel the anxiety in her heart.

One foot had already stepped on the first step, and suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist.

"AAAAAA LEAVE ME ALONE AND DON'T KILL ME!!!" She shouted so loudly that she even struggled to keep the hand from holding her back.

"Why you? Who would want to kill a freak girl like you? I changed my mind and wanted to accompany you."

Hearing that baritone voice made Nada's rebellious body feel weak, gosh, what a shame! With a style that turned cold again while clearing her throat, she returned to her behavior while turning around to look at the person nearby.

In her heart, Nada was very grateful because, in the end, Alex wanted to come with her. "Why do you suddenly want to accompany me to my bedroom?" She asked, of course asking first.

Alex released his grip on Nada's wrist, then shrugged. "Come to think of it, spending time alone in your house feels pretty scary. So maybe we should just stick together, I don't know," he answered.

It might sound like a coward when a man is afraid of the unseen, right? but that's not what Alex meant, he felt a different air that made his mind branch. He felt his back shiver, he felt that this was not the usual goosebumps that in the next minute would disappear.

Nada nodded. She who is the owner of the house can also feel what Alex is saying, maybe she should tell her father about moving house again, she is not comfortable here.

"But you don't act too much, okay?" She warned. Yes, Nada still feels that she has to keep her distance from Alex because after all in this fairly large house she is alone with a man, vigilance must remain number one.

Alex looked at Nada with a strange look in his eyes, after which he seemed to roll his eyes. "A lot of behavior how? I also will not act strange with you," he answered lazily. Then he even quickened his pace until he finally stopped footsteps in front of the door with the name 'Nada' on it.

"Could you come into my bedroom first? Just come in, Alex."

"This is your room, it's rude if I go in first."

Nada nodded she didn't mind if Alex came in first. And now she was standing in front of the man. Her hand grabbed the doorknob and turned it.

A sinister chill immediately assaulted all the senses in Nada's body. Seen in the bedroom window, if it turns out the air outside is very cloudy.

"It looks like it wants to rain, even though it was sunny," commented Alex who also looked at Nada's bedroom window, which was closed but the curtains were open.

Nada opened the door wide, first entered the room followed by Alex behind.

"This is your room? The air is cool, comfortable." Alex walked to the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed and then lay there instead. Only his upper body was on the bed, the rest of his waist and legs were left bent as a rebuttal on the floor.

Nada doesn't care about that.

"Where's my cell phone?" She muttered as she ruffled the bedside table —since she usually put her cell phone here— but she didn't see the flat object she was looking for. "Besides, there's no way I've lost my cell phone, I don't even have time to clean up the tools in your room."

Hearing Nada's faint babble made Alex raise an eyebrow in surprise. "Why the hell, freaks?" he asked, changing his reclining position into a sitting position.

Nada shook her head, she chose not to answer Alex's question. She walked over to the dressing table, which of course had a mirror big enough to satisfy her when she saw her face with makeup —but since she knew there was another life in the mirror, she would never look in the mirror again if no one was around—.

She was afraid. But since she thought there was Alex, she tried to be casual and act modestly.

When looking at the dressing table, she also did not find her cellphone.

"It's over there.."

Nada's heart pumps faster than ever. Now, her position is bent with an open body facing the mirror.

She was feeling bad, but she still heard all kinds of chatter from Alex complaining about the photo display in her room commenting on how innocent she used to be.

Slowly, she felt anxious. Nada slowly lifted her head to look in the mirror.

And…. That woman over there. Middle smiled broadly at her.

Nada felt jolted by what she saw, hastily backed away, which of course would put Alex in the spotlight.

"What are you doing? Why are you surprised by your reflection in the mirror?" asked Alex with raised eyebrows. According to him, Nada is very strange.

Hearing that, Nada couldn't believe Alex couldn't see what she was seeing.

A woman, a beautiful dress that was torn apart even more badly than before.

"I know what you're thinking, that guy can't see me because he's not 'us' target."

Nada gulped, then her eyes saw her cellphone lying on a small table that was lying on the dressing table.

'Ugh, why is my phone there? I can't remember when I put it there.' thought Nada.

Alex approaches Nada who looks… strange? Yes, maybe that one woman is always weird. He stopped next to Nada who was still staring at her reflection in the mirror. "Don't you ever look in the mirror? Why are you so surprised by your reflection in the mirror?" He asked. Perhaps, he currently felt that the woman beside him had a million puzzles he needed to solve so as not to feel confused.

Nada felt beads of sweat on her forehead, a sign that she was scared. "You don't see anything in the mirror?" She whispered.

Alex looked in the mirror, now there was only a reflection of his body and Nada's body reflected there. "Yes, I saw it, I saw a reflection of our bodies in the mirror."

However, what Nada saw right now was not their shadow, but…

"Run." said the creepy woman in the mirror.

After that, Nada saw a sinister figure that looked like a demon who directly stabbed the woman in the back with a knife.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The woman's screams sounded perfect.

Nada saw it, clearly saw the sadistic murder in front of her eyes. She covered her mouth, trying not to cry.

"Please get my cell phone which is on the dressing table,"

After that, Nada prefers to take a step back, hiding behind a coat hanger behind the door so the creepy figure doesn't see it.

Alex who didn't understand anything just obeyed while nodding his head, walking leisurely there. Doing Nada's request for some reason the woman acted as if she was scared.

Nada only saw Alex from afar. If it wasn't for her fear of her stepmother, she wouldn't have bothered to retrieve her cell phone in the death lair.

In Nada's mind, she thought. Was this the gist of the Page C book she read a few minutes ago before inviting Alex over to her house?

Regarding Alex's statement not being 'them' target which means the guy is not on the list. So of course Alex couldn't see what Nada was seeing.

Here, there is only one target that 'they' aim at, namely Nada.
