The full moonlight illuminated Joseph's wounded back. Along with the howls of wolves and owls that add to the horror of the night.

Zee's breath was tight and it was hard for him to get his chest to get oxygen from the room. The man tried to get up and immediately finished off Zee.

"Why do you dare to interfere with my work?" said the man as he drew his knife towards Zee whose neck had been held by the man.

Zee is helplessly strangled, unable to think how to escape the evil man's grasp.

Suddenly three stabs rained down on Zee's stomach and chest until finally with his last strength Zee threw the man's body back into the hearth with his head stuck iron on the furnace, blood gushed from the man's head and killed him right then and there.

"Feel the consequences of being a criminal" said Zee lirih.

Both of Zee's eyes looked at Uncle Joseph who was still lying next to him. Zee could no longer hold back the heavy feeling that was crowding his eyelids to open, all of his body trembling with a cold feeling that pierced all over his body. His breathing grew heavier, Zee resigned himself and closed his eyes. Zee is no longer strong to try to get up. Shortly thereafter the black dot on his arm appeared to be five. Zee is dead.

The morning sunlight dazzled Zee's eyelids which began to open slowly. Zee looked at the black mark on his left arm and counted it.

"Five, it's true that I died last night." murmured Zee.

"You're up apparently, this is your phone ringing and a lot of messages in it." Blue put Zee's phone on her bed.

Thirty missed calls, and chain messages from Lia as Zee looks at her phone screen.

👩: Where are you Zee?

👩: Zee pick up my phone!

👩: There is news about Joey

👩: Joey's house is on fire but his body is not found.

👩:Joey suspected of killing his family and burning down his house.

👩: Latest news, Alena's father was killed in an old house in the woods.

👩: Come to Alena's father's funeral at ten in the morning.

"Alena's Dad? ah I just realized those eyes remind me of Alena's face, they're exactly the same eyes, I didn't think the killer was Alena's father." Zee tapped the end of the phone on his chin.

"What happened to you last night?"

Blue stretched her body around and lay before Zee while licking her hand.

"How did I get here Blue?" asked Zee curiously.

"Joseph took you, he's hurt bad." said Blue.

"How's Blue doing now?"

Zee got up from his bed, changed his clothes, and picked up a red sweater hanging behind the bedroom door.

"Grandmother is treating it" said Blue flat.

"What's? what is grandma doing? you said he treated her?" ask Zee not to believe it.

"Yes, are you deaf." Blue still licks her body.

"How did Grandma treat Uncle Joseph? wait means my uncle Joseph is alive, isn't he blue? Yeeeeeaaayy...!" Zee cheered in excitement while prancing around in her room.

Zee hugged the blue carrying her around in excitement.

"Oh I'm sorry Blue, it's disgusting and iyuuuhh please clean up your vomit!" said Zee who looks nauseous with Blue's fur vomit.

"Based on a stupid girl!" aspir Blue after being thrown by Zee into his bed.

Zee ran down the stairs of his house and rushed to the hill to meet his uncle Joseph.

Without knocking on the door, Zee immediately opened the wooden door carved in Joseph's wolf face.

"Grandma, I love you I love you grandma."

Zee hugs Amelia's grandmother who is sewing the wound on Joseph's back.

"Good, get away from me!" said grandma was so upset with Zee's behavior.

"Ah my sweet beautiful grandmother, the all-time great magician outperformed Merlin, I'm sorry?" Zee gave her smile and innocent look to her grandmother.

"If my patience had gone, I would have sewn your mouth." Grandma pointed her needle at Zee's mouth in surprise and retreated.

"Joseph told me everything, why are you so stubborn" said Amelia's grandmother.

"I just want to restore Joey's flash, only this time I feel happy to have a friend, but instead I make Joey die." said Zee with a sad face.

"That's your carelessness, she doesn't know anything about being the victim of the killer." said Amelia's grandmother who was always upset by Zee.

"I'm so sorry grandma." Zee looked down and cried as she recalled her friendship with Joey. Now Joey has no doubt there will be no children who always buy Zee something, jokingly teasing Lia and so forth that will never be replaced.

"Take me that bandage" pointed Amelia's grandmother at the white bandage on the table, blasting Zee's daydreams about her best friend Joey.

Zee stood wiping the tears and grabbed the bandage, then gave it to Amelia's grandmother.

"Why doesn't Uncle Joseph make a sound, doesn't it hurt?" ask Zee.

"I bewitched her like a rock, she can hear you but she can't talk." said Grandma.

Zee seduces Joseph's uncle by pulling his beard, Joseph only swerves he can only move his eyeballs towards Zee.

"Uwu uncle Joseph glared at me hehehe."

Zee played Joseph's lips, nose and cheeks.

"Zee, next month is your seventeenth birthday, get ready for the next phase of the witch."

said Grandma Zee who finished treating Joseph's back.

"Well grandma I will diligently study the book of chapter seventeen" said Zee full of confidence.

"And take care of your life this time, Zee continues to treat Joseph's wounds." orders Amelia's grandmother

"Ah I just remembered I had to go to Alena's father's funeral. Oh yes uncle, the man I killed last night was Alena's father apparently and Joey's whole family was killed, his house burned down, because Joey's body was not found he was suspected as the killer of his family, if I could explain that Joey is innocent, Joey was also the victim of Alena's father's murder" Zee said at length.

Uncle Joseph just looked at Zee flatly.

"That's a lifeline you can't break." Zee's grandmother warned.

"So I should just shut up, Grandma?" ask Zee.

"Yes, or you want your family to die please open your mouth to mess like just now" said Amelia's grandmother with a resentful look and annoyance at Zee.

"Ah grandma..."
