Kayla didn''t know since when she fell asleep, the moment she woke up, she could feel that she indeed had gotten a lot better. But just like last time, she seems to be awakened by something. Because the moment she is fully awake, she is in the air, Kayla is a little startled, but it turns out that she has been piggybacked by Aaron, and they seem to be running away from something. Kayla''s heart skip a beat and she instantly felt panic rise inside of her, “What.. what happened?”, she asked confused.
Aaron noticed that she is already awake, but he didn’t stop and kept on running, “There was something wrong with that room, Clara saw something from inside the glasses”
Kayla couldn’t really understand what he is talking about, ‘What does it mean by Clara seeing something from the glasses?’
“Not just that! It seems to be following us too!!!”, Jeremy said with a frightened tone on the side and quickly fastened his pace, in no time, they couldn''t really see him anymore. Kayla immediately turn around to look at what they were talking about, but because it was so dark, she couldn’t really see what was behind her, “Let me down, I can run on my own”
Aaron didn’t reply at first, but Kayla insisted, “I’m alright, it will be faster if I run on my own”
Aaron finally let her down and they started running again while holding her hand, Kayla turned around to try to find that dark figure they were talking about, but still couldn''t find anything, “Wait! How are you so sure that something was chasing us? Where is Steven?”
They stopped on their track and turned around to look, in front of them was just darkness and they couldn’t really see anything, Steven was also nowhere to be seen, didn’t know where he had gone. Kayla turn to look at them and they also looked kind of dazed, ‘What really happened?’
Kayla took the candle from their hands, took a deep breath and let it out, she slowly and boldly stepped forward, gazing at their surrounding, before she could see anything, Aaron had already pulled her away and Clara was shouting that it was still there. Kayla frown deeply while watching their pale and frightened face, she didn’t see anything except for darkness, how could they be able to see something that she couldn’t see?
Kayla kept on turning her head around while running to see what it was that they were talking about, but no matter what, she couldn’t see anything and told them to stop, “Wait!!”
“I will explain it to you later!”, Aaron shouted, but Kayla didn’t want to run this time and stopped on her feet, she was honestly quite tired and trying to slow down her fast-beating heart.
“Wait! You said that something was following us, but we couldn’t hear any footsteps at all, are you all sure?”, Kayla asked while trying to catch her breath. That is when their face becomes paler, “Because it is a ghost”, Clara whispers and pulls her to run again, Kayla is rendered speechless, ‘A ghost? Here?! Really?!!’, she didn’t say anything but her whole hair was standing on all ends. She couldn’t quite believe it and turned around to look at it again, but still nothing. At this time, she could subtly hear someone''s voice from behind them, and upon hearing clearly it was a very familiar voice, so Kayla stopped again, the voice became closer and they finally recognized it, it was Steven''s voice, telling them to stop running.
This time, Kayla didn''t plan to run anymore, Clara kept on pulling her but Kayla didn''t want to go, so Clara who was very scared of it, hides behind her back, screaming that something was coming,
“Ahhh!!! It is nearing! It is nearing!!”, Clara curled up into one with Kayla, Aaron and Diane''s faces also becoming tense. But no matter how she tried to see it, she couldn’t see anything, ‘What should I get away with? There is literally nothing!!’, Kayla cursed
“It is just an illusion”, Steven shouted from afar. Kayla turn to look at them, and all of them also looked quite confused, “But it is really there!! He is swinging his swords. Hurry and run!!”, Clara kept on pulling Kayla who stood still, because she couldn’t see anything, she didn’t feel afraid of it. Aaron and Diane also didn’t start running anymore. Instead, they just stood there, facing the invisible figure in front of them alarmingly, this made Kayla even more confused. She could sense the both of them flinch, trying to get away from something or trying to withstand something, then after a moment, they opened their eyes doubtfully, and their faces looked surprised and confused,
“It is gone”, Aaron said dumbfounded
Diane also nodded, Clara also peeked out from behind Kayla and couldn’t see the so-called ghost anymore, “It really is! What the hell is that!! It is so scary”
Kayla turned to them and asked them what was going on, “We also didn’t know, we saw a figure of a soldier, an ancient Japanese soldier wielding a big sword in his hands and was chasing us. We thought it was real, so we run”, Diane simply stated.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Kayla was even more perplexed, “A soldier? In this place? Could it be one of the staff?”
“Who knows? Now I feel really stupid, since we couldn''t attack it, why can''t we think that it will also not be able to attack us?”, Diane''s face turned sour and darker. At this time, Steven has already managed to reunite with them, he looks steady and looks like nothing happened at all.
Then Kayla realized something missing, “Jeremy.. where is Jeremy?”
They all looked at each other and Clara slapped her forehead, “Oh. My. God. He run first.. so he must be quite far in front of us”
They all become silent and look at each other awkwardly, “Great. Where could we find him?”, Diane scowled. But they didn’t need to worry for long, because they could hear people running towards them from in front of them, “Jeremy?”. His face is all red and he seems to be out of breath from all the running, “My Gosh. I thought that I was about to lose you all!! I.. I stumbled and see that all of you had disappeared, so I decided to make a final attack, but that person just disappeared! So I run back. Thank god I know the road”, he said while catching his breath.
“You are all scaring me, what the hell is going on?”, Kayla asked, didn''t she just fall asleep? Why does everything feel so strange and unknown to her? After they explained it to her, that is when she finally understood. Everyone is basically asleep at that time, and even Diane has started to nod off because of the quietness, that is when Clara suddenly calls her awake with panic in her eyes, “Diane! Diane!!”
“What?”, she startled awake and became alerted.
“I.. I think there is something wrong with these glasses”, Clara said trembling.
Diane looked at her as if something was wrong with her, and clicked her tongue in annoyance, “What do you mean?”
“I.. I saw a shadow in it”, Clara already looks like she wants to cry, Steven who has gotten awake from their conversation looks at them quietly, because it is dark, his large figure looks like someone towering them from behind, and when he talks, the both of them got startled and Clara scream. That loud and deafening scream has basically woke all of them up except for Kayla. Diane out of reflex wanted to hit that shadow, but was stopped by Steven, who was holding her hands in order to avoid any places getting hit.
“You are scaring the sh*t out of me!!”, Clara scolded him and keep on patting her chest, it feels like his heart just jumped out from there.
“What? What has happened?”, Aaron turns on the candle with the match Steven put beside the candle and immediately lights up their surrounding.
“Clara said that she saw something moving on the glasses”, Diane said while rolling her eyes, clearly she thought that Clara was just spouting nonsense, which Clara replied her with a pout, “I really saw it! It is huge and fast!”
“Glasses?”, Aaron repeated to make sure. Clara suddenly said with uncertainty, “I.. also didn''t know, I was just looking at the glasses and suddenly something moved inside of it. Steven immediately became cautioned, if what she said was true, then it meant that there was someone hiding in the room with them, Aaron also noticed what he was thinking and also became alerted. Right now they didn''t have anything to protect them except for their fist, since the wooden bat they used to protect themselves had disappeared to nowhere.
But after squatting there for a while and not seeing any other movement, Steven decided to stand up and took the initiative to search the whole surrounding, followed along by Aaron and Jeremy. After they circled around the room, they couldn''t really find anyone, so Aaron became doubtful,
“Are you sure you see a shadow from the glasses? Are you seeing it wrong? It could be light reflected on it, or you nodded off?”
Clara shakes her head, “I am sure about it!”
Aaron sighed and asked her which glasses she saw the shadow, at least they could know where that person had hidden before, it could be just a shadow of someone passing by outside the room, that is what Aaron thought. The glasses Clara pointed is a black glasses, he becomes more doubtful when he sees that it would be hard to see the reflection in them without any source of light. But then Aaron saw something too, it was very fast, but it was indeed a shadow of a person, a very big built one. Aaron frowned and looked closely again to make sure, but he couldn''t see it anymore, he turned to look at them and when they saw his face, they also got curious and at the same time looked at the glasses Clara was talking about. They didn''t see anything at first, but then they indeed saw something passing by, Diane took a step back out of surprise and looked behind her.
“What is that?!!”, Diane asked surprised. What surprised her the most was that she found something more terrifying standing at the corner of the room, she unconsciously gulped down her saliva, her throat became dry, and tapped their shoulder in a rush.
They all turned around to look at where she was looking, they all froze to their spot when they saw that figure. It is another thing that someone is standing there, but that person is wearing a very strong-looking armor with a very long sword hanging on his waist, Diane''s heart become cold, and looks at that thing with disbelief, “I am not the only one who sees it right? You all see it too right?”
Jeremy nodded stupidly, “I see it too. What is that? Is that a statue? Is it there before?”
That is what they were confused about, because they didn''t seem to see that thing standing there before. They were even more surprised to see that thing moved, “My gosh!! It is alive!!”, Jeremy gasped and quickly searched for his surroundings, to search for something that could protect himself with. But there was nothing except for the display rack of the glasses, so he took that and knocked over all the glasses on it.
Aaron quickly reached forward to Kayla and hoisted her up on his back, so that if something went wrong, they could immediately run away. That man kept on getting closer and closer to them, seeing it much closer, they felt their breath hitch up because that person was quite tall, taller than usual man. Jeremy immediately throw the display rack towards him, telling him to back away. That is when their blood gets cold, the display rack immediately flies past that man and hits the floor with a loud clang. Jeremy lips trembled and looks at them, “Runnn!!!! It is a ghost!!!!”, he shouted.
Without any of them could assess the situation, they have already started running. That is the end of the story, Kayla who has been hearing deeply feels like what they were saying was just a dream, she didn''t know what to say to them and only nods her head, “You all have worked hard”, she simply said.
They all just shake their head in helplessness, kind of ashamed of their action. Kayla seeing the weird aura tries to reduce the tension, “It is alright. As long as we are all alright, that is fine. Let''s go somewhere else, it is not good to stay in this open place”, they seem hesitant, especially Clara, but she just nodded her head and pouted.
