Don't Forget to Sleep
Chapter 26's

BOooOOO!!

The loud noise made Mr. Edghar, Susan and Dr. Allan paid attention to every detail of events after the next incident.

"That man!! Vanished?!"shriek Susan frustrated. If Riche and Anastasya disappear by dying in the hands of his partner's Android, it's a small victory for the Devils. The problem this time was that they vanished without a trace.

That's what Anastasya and Riche thought but now they're just staring dumbly at what they're going through this time. The same reaction came from Armian and Charlie's facial expressions. Now his fourth face is staring full of demands for an explanation on Hisashi and Kenatt. Kenatt Anderson Cloy shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Hisashi.

Obviously he said, just ask him, because I'm just as surprised as you all.

"Is your trip fun?" hisashi said a word of greeting while grimacing, to the guests who were forced to come in front of him.

"This man..really.." All the guests who were forced to come were in unison with what gaze were you joking about? At a time like this?!

"Hallo, I'm sorry for today's unpleasant incident. Actually.I invited all of you here, at the direction of Hisashi” welcome Eve broke the awkward atmosphere among everyone there. Attention is now on the beautiful-eyed girl.

"He's Evelina Dushenka one of the Reporters we're looking for.” added Hisashi reciprocated with an unspeakable look.

"Let's just shorten it, guys. So, we're all trying hard to leave this place as soon as possible, having realized that the son of the biggest Sponsor of R-Nav TV never existed"

"But Mr.X-Bone never seemed to think of releasing us from here. One by one our comrades died because of Mr.X-Bone and the three Devils trapped in this place. Our problems get bigger when the Devils try to end our lives except, Eve" Haruko said. The atmosphere became silent everyone quietly fixated on his own thoughts.

Adel, Ferghus and Amarru come out of nowhere, they seem to panic before but they become more relieved when they see that Hisashi, has joined the hostages.

“Do not talk. There came” whispered Hisashi while giving instructions for the three to get closer to Hisashi's group. Adel and all the armed men in the place, began to put horses while pointing the sword in unison at Darius and Harry who suddenly came to them.

“We did not come as enemies. Make us allies” said Darius loudly while staring firmly Eve and Dimi alternately.

“Why should we trust you? Just now your nation attacked us” said Dimitri, pointing a gun at Harry.

“Harry?! How can you live again? How could you who was once a mannequin be a human like us?” ask Eve at length.

“I don't know which one exactly. But after I did something, this morning I suddenly turned into a human” replied Harry puzzled himself.

“Tell me frankly. Since you took as many souls as you needed, you finally achieved your wish of becoming a human right?” sindir Haruko sharp.

“How can we be comfortable being with a party whenever you want, it could instantly obliterate us easily” added Dimitri increasingly wary.

“Tenace. I do not see the same energy, with the energy of the three demons here in humans beside the mannequin”, Hisashi laughed at Herry.

“The souls of your dead comrades are somewhere. Inside a mannequin. The couple will actually raise his daughter Marioneth. Unfortunately there are still a few more souls to complete its creation” Hisashi continued and was stunned for a moment.

“Revive? That's impossible to happen because he's still with us now” cut Darius pointed Eve.

“They need you to reach the destination. It means Harry hasn't changed because of the crazy Husband Wife experiment?” Adel felt awkward.

“Let me make sure first what I'm thinking” said Eve curiously.

You, Darius Crawford will be my ally. For that, be human.

Everyone stared at Eve watching closely what Eve was going to do to make sure. But the woman was just silently watching Darius' movements.

“How do you...” Ferghus was suddenly astonished at the sight of Darius slowly turning into a human. Starting from each strand of Darius' hair, spread the skin, to the whole body.

“Their habits changed because of my wishes. So Hisashi..” Eve turned her head towards Hisashi without hesitation.

“Is it only because of my ability that they tried to use me?” emphatically Eve added. Hisashi only winked once in response.

“We found a strong ally. Thank you Harry” suddenly Darius hugged Harry while saying this.

“It's not time to celebrate that. Try saying how many mannequins in this place” Kenatt reminded their enemies not only three demons but the mannequins while staring intently at Darius as well as Harry.

“I think about ten thousand mannequins both active and inactivated. And our estimate seems like their number is more than that because we saw some strange looking mannequins there” replied Darius as he looked at Harry between sure and not.

“Wait for what else? You were once part of them so obviously you know their hiding place. We destroy all those mannequins now” Armian asserted.

“Why should we destroy them all? Just make them our pawns to fight that crazy couple” Harry seems to have other ideas.

“Say. On what basis is a killing machine like you guys..against its own master? Isn't the doll always subject to its owner?” Anastasya spoke up.

“Because they are not ordinary dolls. Even their creator, had not realized his recklessness. Mannequins of their creation have minds, thoughts, desires, even emotions like humans. So, because of this emotion we had, we finally decided to rebel” Harry clenched his hands emotionally.

“Say you have the desire to rebel. What about the others? It's free if only you guys” Charlie folds both hands to the chest trying to find out, whether Darius or Harry have other intentions behind the offer to be allies.

“What makes sense, if we spies to tell you things that will harm our side? Because of that inhumane treatment, we became three camps. First, stay loyal to our master. Second, siding with humans and third, not siding with both, ” said Harry knowing the way of Charlie's mind. Everyone stared intently at Harry for a moment.

“You know who is siding with us? You guys can take us to them now?” Eve's like getting a fresh breeze.

“Actually only we bedua” kekeh Darius while scratching his head make Eve's face hardened again.

In another part of the Theatre, Yorgie Zervanno brings his herd of mannequins to orchestrate a coup. Aditi had thought this would not be easy because what they will fight is their creator. Even to destroy them all, the creator does not have to bother to dirty his own hands. Just creating a new mannequin to fight the rebels.

Ending in the hands of his master as a rebel is better than betraying with human help in fighting his master.

“Don't be delayed again if indeed we have to choose the path that's Yorgie. Two things cannot happen if we want our plan to succeed. Don't let them get those two things. Eve...and Lee Than Ming Aditi directs the first steps that must be taken.

“You mean Marthen Mathias?” Yorgie wants to make sure.

“Marthen Mathias other name of Lee Than Ming. Jacob Staley and his wife allied with him while dying.They made a pact to revive Marioneth through a wax doll"

"Then in the midst of their efforts to realize it, Lee Than Ming or Marthen Mathias disappeared. I'm the first generation wax mannequin doll so I know why she disappeared. Someone sealed it"

"Therefore, even though Jacob and his wife were hostile to Zack, there was still a compromise between them. Those Devils both need their Gods to get their respective destinations” replied Yorgie fiery. Yorgie orders all his members gathered in a circle to approach him on a strategy to overthrow Jacob Staley.

In the north, the humans led by Valdemar Conrad continue to be on the lookout for further attacks from the mannequins and their creators. They walk side by side. They try to keep walking to find a way out, instead their energy is more and more drained for the sake of a small possibility to get out.

“I'm tired please let me rest first. We have been around this place for hours and hours, said Helga directly sitting on the red carpet.

“Are we going to end up in this place?” Emiel Huibert sat down beside Helga in despair.

“Are they okay?” Riwangga chose to lean against the wall while straightening his two achy legs.

“You're still worried about the three of them? Haruko and Dimitri decide to stay with Eve. If anything happens to them it's not our fault” said Park Mayleen.

“I think our decision to leave Eve is indeed wrong Park” Eldert chimed.

“We left him because there was a strong reason, right? He's a mental disorder sufferer. At any time it can turn into a monster and slaughter one of us all. We are still safe until now precisely because away from him” Park Mayleen stared angrily at Eldert and Riwangga.

“Think if Haruko and Dimitri also left Eve. If he was the real target of those Devils, and he died because we left him alone, would you, still not feel guilty Park?!”

“If you think about it again where did Aditi go? Should he stay with me? You're sure.that's the real evidence? I mean, what if Aditi made that fake evidence to keep us away from Eve? Just remember who the three Devils are fighting over in this place? Isn't Aditi mannequin a creation of one of the three?” Mamoru finally opened her voice. Everyone is silent - are they trying to figure out if their decision was wrong or right?

“You should think twice before making a decision. There will be no regrets afterwards. Instead of arguing better, we walk again. Surely the Devils so know our location because you yell at each other now” complains Valdemar as team leader. Everyone obediently moved away from the place but there was a foreign voice in their ears heard. The steps of the humans are stopped and alert.

Some of its members cried out hysterically while covering both of their ears and collapsing instantly!! The rest were busy checking on the situation that had suddenly collapsed.

“No...this is impossible..” muttered Eithan flopped onto the red rug. They were shocked because Park Mayleen, Mamoru Nobuo, and Helga Winifred died. The living began to cling to each other.

“We are getting fewer and fewer. We need to find Eve and the others soon. This emergency” Riwangga stressed the word emergency for Valdemar to give the order.

“Find them soon” replied Valdemar running with his flock. A large block of wood floated towards the direction they ran.

Dwaaag!!

They compactly fall because their stomach is directly hit by the wooden beam. The humans dragged his body that was unable to walk, and could only gather together to form a circle. Yorgie and the other herds of mannequins pulled their shirts until their bodies floated in the air.

“You know how much, Harry took a human soul until he became a human?” Yorgie glanced at Aditi. The beautiful mannequin seems confused to answer what?

“We did hunt together but we split each other so..how he consumed I can not count it” replied Aditi shrugged her two shoulders. Yorgie seems unhappy with Aditi's answer. He strangled the neck of Riwangga Angger Pati until his soul became food for Yorgie.

“Let them” says someone from behind.

“Darius..kau...back to being human?” Aditi squealed in shock.

“Are you here to bring more of our prey?” Yorgie grinned at the humans behind the backs of Darius and Harry.

“You're in our master's deception. Believe me, consuming the human soul will not make you a human again.” Harry tried to tell the truth.

“Omong empty what else is this?!”

“Yorgie....Harry's right. I also became a human being not because of that. You have to believe this if in fact the souls are gathered for only one mannequin. That is Marioneth's mannequin to get him back to life.” Darius instructs that the humans in the hands of Yorgie's group not be killed. All of Yorgie's mannequins are staring at each other.

They felt hurt hearing what the former mannequin had just said.

“Then, if not for our Master, how could the two of you, in the blink of an eye turn into a real human being?” Aditi finds it impossible to believe the words of Darius or Harry.

Those two former mannequins weren't human conspirators?

“Do I have to prove how you can be like now? Harry?” cut Eve greeted by Hisashi who patted her left shoulder.

“Do not act without reading Eve situation. We could be in danger” whispered Hisashi in Eve's ear emphasizing the phrase danger to the Girl. Yorgie notices Hisashi's gestures as he whispers something into Eve's ear.

“How do you, prove it? Or has someone changed their mind now? Is there something to hide from us?” challenge Yorgie while throwing Angga's jazad in any direction.

Eve gazes pusher at Yorgie unfortunately Eve and friends' goal is not to finish off the entire mannequin but, to persuade the mannequins to become allies. It's not easy...Hisashi has not given full permission to demonstrate his abilities to all the mannequins.

“You'll come back to your master if we can't prove that?” Hisashi asked as carefully as possible.

“They're liars for what we came back for? And our goal, of course, will be contrary to your human purpose.” Kekeh Yorgie fiery.

“Doll country you mean? Have you forgotten your desire to be human?” Darius squinted his eyes.

“Ah, are you not willing? I thought again.., like this would be much better. We'll never die. Why do you want to be a human being who can die at any time? Foolish thinking” welcomes Yorgie makes Aditi retreat away. The mannequin looked back at Aditi in astonishment.

“You chose to be on my side not too long ago. Now why are you thinking of retreating?” Yorgie asked as firmly as possible.

“I'm just anti-human because I'm a mannequin. But if you, want to form a real puppet state, I don't want to side with you anymore” Aditi replied. A mannequin quietly approached Aditi and cut Aditi's nape until her head fell onto the red carpet. The humans were silently stunned while observing the reactions of the entire mannequin there.

“Do you want to side with those weak humans?!” yorgie shouted at his colony. Armian and Riche looked at each other with deathly pale faces. Both think the same. If only they were called Eve in a state of carrying weapons, then everything would be fine.

Eve stared flatly at Yorgie. He uses his ability to create mini whirlwinds, just above the Aditi mannequin and lets the Aditi mannequin come back to life with its head intact.

Now, who is more powerful? Your creator? Or was it me? A heavy sound came from that whirlwind.
