Arabella And Beauty System
POV Victim to Lima

At 9pm, I was sitting on the couch in front of the TV. While my parents were busy preparing suitcases to be brought into the car. My mom and dad are going to my grandmother's house just to visit and eat there. But they said they'd only be home in two days.

I'm lazy to come along. Besides having to go to school tomorrow, I also hate the people there. So I better be home alone.

"Edo, please lock all the doors when mom and dad are out" said mom from the room that I didn't listen to.

I'm still busy lying on the couch swapping nukar channel tv. I didn't find my favorite movie this time, apparently because it wasn't the schedule.

About five minutes later, I didn't realize I was asleep because I was holding back sleep.

"Edo, quickly lock the door of the house. It's your father and your mother's gone", my father woke me up.

I nodded my head lazily, then walked towards the front door.

Besides, there are thieves who want to enter this ugly house, I said in my heart.

When my father and mother got into the car and waved their hands from behind the windshield, I did not return the wave at all because I was already very sleepy.

After their car had disappeared, I closed the front door with the origin, then locked it.

After that I quickly went back to the sofa and fell asleep.

Yeah, I do sleep on the couch in front of this tv more than in my room. Because the sofa is so soft compared to my bedroom mattress.

Kriekk..

I heard the door open. But don't hear it too clearly because the tv is still on. I'm lazy to turn off the tv. I'm already so sleepy.

Taps... Taps..

I heard the sound of someone walking towards me. I was sleeping behind the sofa that turned my back on the source of the footsteps.

But even so, I still did not open my eyes. Because as I remember, the front door was locked. Looks like I'm screwing up.

"Hello.."

The deg!

I reflexively opened my eyes slowly when I heard the voice of a man who was very close to me.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a tall man in black clothes standing behind the sofa I was sleeping on.

I reflexively took a few steps back from him. I couldn't see his face because he was wearing a black face-covering cloth, I could only see his eyes and nose.

"Hey! Muttering! Don't bother me! If you want to swing, just turn there! Take what is in this house as you please!", I shouted at the big man.

But he was still in his place. And then, he took out a sharp axe and a rope from behind his back.

I was stunned, realizing that this man did not seem to be an ordinary thief.

"You're the kidnapper? Or muting? Hey, listen! You can throw anything at this house, as long as you don't bother me!", I shouted as I continued to step back.

The man stepped forward to approach me. I could feel him grinning behind his face-covering cloth.

"I.", the man with the baratone voice paused his sentence, "I don't want a penny of treasure in this house.."

The next thing that makes me stunned again. He must want me. But..want me for what?

Damn it, because the phone was much closer to the man holding the axe than I was.

When I just ran a few steps closer to that phone..

Brak!

That axe-holding man split my two hp with his axe!

That's fucking crazy!

Hp I really split in two made! I don't know what else to do!

"You're crazy! What do you want, huh?!", I shouted again.

The man chuckled.

"Edo.."

I was stunned when the man mentioned my name. How did he know my name? I don't even remember knowing this guy. Not even from his voice, nor have I ever heard.

"Consider me as the penetrator of your prayers. I just want to penetrate your sins. You know what sin I mean?", he asked. Then the man chuckled again.

I held my forehead in wonder at the word he said. Then, I remembered something.

A great sin I made 4 years ago.

Wait, why am I even thinking about 4 years ago? I don't know, my instincts are coming straight to it.

Because at that time, I felt that sin was the greatest sin I ever made.

But the question is, who is this? And how did he recognize me?

"I know.I know you're often ringing for the great sin you've committed. If you turn yourself in, I'll ease your death" the man said, his tone sounding serious.

I am still frozen where I stand. I was only 3 meters away from him. I'm still stunned to look at him. I was stunned by his sentence earlier.

I thought hard, remembering whether we knew each other or not. If this man did not know me, he could not have known that I was often plagued by the great sin that I committed many years ago.

But I still can't remember who this guy is.

Is it possible he..

"You.", I paused for a moment while looking into his eyes, "You..."

A slash!

The man suddenly threw his axe at me. Stuck right in my neck!

"Akh!!", my breath held. I immediately sat down, and tried to pull the ax from my neck.

My hand was also suddenly limp, blood flowed very fast from the neck of the former axe stuck earlier. The poking was so deep, I even felt my head almost break. After a while, I closed my eyes.

The man stroked my head before I really closed my eyes, that's what I saw last time.
