Don't Forget to Sleep
The Devil's Debate

For a moment Haruko was silent staring at her two palms that had clenched tightly earlier. It was as if he wanted to say something, but there was something else propping up his lips to reveal whatever it was. Moru reached for Haruko's hands, then patted her gently repeatedly.

"You need time to say it, don't you? Then don't talk. But if it's all our lives, please don't hide anything" Moru said, seriously locking Haruko's eyes.

"But.., what if you all don't want to believe me and think I'm crazy. I'm afraid you're starting to get away from me and let me stay here without all of you" Haruko said tearfully.

"Here, we have to keep working together. One, each other. There will be no one, who leaves whom" Moru said as he stared at everyone asking for support. There was no sound, but a nod of confidence was made by everyone there.

"I was separated from Moru" Haruko said, taking a deep breath, trying to strengthen her heart for whatever reaction she would reap from everyone.

"I fell into the sand pit because of the heavy rain. As soon as I woke up from fainting, I found something. Coffin. I felt like someone was calling my name because of that, I opened the chest, without a hitch" Haruko said.

The deg!!

Haruko's story stopped because the night had arrived, there was not the slightest light there.

Blahar!!

Blarr!!

Blarr!!

They were still silent when all the torches in each corner of the Theatre building lit up by themselves. Trying to neutralize the shock, the panic that mingles into one, their eyes wander buana looking for the shadow figure of another there.

"I thought there would be no danger tonight" said Dante somewhat relieved to know everything was fine.

"Where do you know? Who knows, this is only the beginning of terror" whispered Helga feeling her security was threatened.

"As long as there is no attack, we stay here okay, who knows this is a lure so that our curiosity increases, then we split back. Think about Kim's current situation. She was alone" Emi said preventing anyone from dispersing from leaving the group.

"Haruko, continue" asked the Princess even though she was also panicked but she tried to look as calm as possible.

"Yes, I opened the crate and saw a mannequin made of wax. For some reason, I was eager to get closer to the mannequin until I was caught by the mannequin, and was trapped in the coffin with the mannequin" Haruko began to laugh considering the thrilling times.

Haruko is trapped inside the chest, trying to get out of the chest but somehow the mannequin changes Haruko's position to be under the mannequin.

"Haruko!! Be calm!! It's me!!" shouted the living mannequin.

"Who are you?" haruko said she was starting to get scared.

"Harry Normandy. My soul is trapped here because there is a wedge in my life. Help me. Kim, having conceived my son, protect him at all costs. I, will help you all get off this island" said the handsome Manekin, still holding tightly onto Haruko's two shoulders.

"Why can mannequins live?"

"You kissed my forehead, didn't you? At that time my Spirit followed you, who was not far from this mannequin. When you're peeping mannequins. My soul was trapped in here. I don't understand why either" said the handsome mannequin.

Plaaac!!

Haruko was surprised not to play when she had not finished telling her experience, she had been rewarded with a slap from Kim.

"You!! He made up a story about Harry!!" yelled Kim emotion. He was devastated to learn Harry died so unsettled.

"Team!! Be cool!! If it wasn't Harry, it would have been something else. So don't attack each other!!" el shouted trying to separate Kim from Haruko who started crying small.

"No. That's right Harry. Only Harry knows I'm pregnant with El, only Harry. Only my husband knows between everyone here" Kim said in tears.

"What's? So.. Is he really Harry?" ask Haruko not to believe it. This time Kim grabbed Haruko's hair.

"Aww!!" peekik Haruko grimaced in pain.

"That's because you, carelessly kissed someone's husband" Kim said, releasing Haruko who began to not accept.

"How do I know it's Harry?! All I know, is just me, has found the world's most handsome mannequin" Haruko's protest rubbed her head. Kim chuckled triumphantly.

"So, what are you planning to do together?"

"Harry wanted to know where and who, that something else was"

"How?"

"Let's know, my energy was completely drained until, I fell asleep exhausted. As soon as I woke up, the mannequin simply disappeared" Haruko replied as she shrugged both of her shoulders in response to Kim's question.

"wait. Did you, when you got out of that place, meet me? Leaning near the coconut tree?" moru asked stiffened considering the creepy experience he had himself.

"We just met again after arriving at this place" Haruko said rounding her eyes.

"That's it. I thought, a black shadow is just a black shadow. But as it turns out, he can mimic the shadow of anyone's body. That black shadow, imitating you Haruko. Imitate your shadow, imitate your body figure. At first I wanted to approach you leaning against the coconut tree, but you screamed, and I chose to stay in place while watching your shadow"

"When you cry out hysterically, your shadow turns into a black shadow that is growing longer, growing bigger!! Even I searched for your body figure behind the coconut tree, but your figure had disappeared. There was only a black shadow trying to attack me by capturing my shadow"

"Then how did you survive the black shadow?" kim asked curious that even her poor husband had to leave the world quickly.

"Take the luck factor. Because suddenly the sun was shining again" Moru said with a big grin.

"Why are you guys splitting up? Did that shadow chase you from the beginning?" ask Berte was-was.

"Sanca!!" now Haruko and Moru say the same.

"Sanca? You mean..real snake?" Aditi squealed and shuddered.

"Spana switch is 2 meters long. A large snake, and 3 tails. They chased both of us" Moru said quickly.

"If it's a real snake, we can chase them away if they appear before us again. But what if it's something else, like the old reporter said?!" aditi said she clutched her own body.

"That would be very troublesome. The black shadow, disguised as Haruko alone, was already terrifying. What else if the black shadow disguised itself as 3 pythons" Moru shuddered.

"Aren't you guys interested in finding Harry?" lirih Kim glared at the ceiling of the Theater building.

"I understand Kim well, but it's our main job to find Clamentine. After all, Harry will definitely show up to you if he wants that. I mean, maybe Harry wasn't ready to show his mannequin in front of you. Try to give him time to prepare for whatever your reaction will be" Haruko said, trying to make sense of Harry's situation. Hearing Haruko's remark, Kimmy Pier could only nod weakly.

"We don't have a clue that leads to where Clamentine is" said Darius, almost desperate.

"We haven't checked the whole place thoroughly. Because of time constraints. Tomorrow morning, we're gonna start looking so, what if we just go to bed now?" eithan said he felt too tired.

"Eithan, are you sure we can rest without having to worry that our lives are in danger?" said Alie elbowed the arm of Eithan who was almost asleep.

"I can't take it anymore. You know, last night, I couldn't calm down at all until it was hard to sleep. So let me sleep for a while" the Eithan protest remained in a state of closed eyes.

"Don't worry there will be a division of groups. Hear. The first group, just in case and the rest can sleep. There's gonna be a crazy system I think is fair enough, right?" Emi which everyone immediately approved. Considering the night on this island is very long, then the reality is, there is no such thing as a crazy system because now, they have all fallen asleep.

A dark black shadow approached the sleeping humans. But the long whistling sound attracted the attention of the black shadow. He stopped his steps, then checked out the Theatre building to find the origin of the whistling sound.

Eve felt her body very lightly, and something warm was blowing right on her face. Slowly the girl opened her eyes and looked for the origin of the warm air that made her wake up instantly. Eve looked left and right, but she found nothing.

Everyone was sleeping Eve knew that, but she began to hear the sound of the Theater door creaking open. Eve quickly turned to the direction where the voice came from.The door was open!! Eve tried to wake Dimi but the man did not feel asleep, but as if he fainted so he could not open his eyes even though Eve had patted both cheeks rather hard.

"Well, there's no other way. I have to be brave. Kim alone can fight his fears alone walking in a foreign place. The time I lost, with him" Eve whispered to herself. Eve made a small run towards the open doors of the Theatre and then exited towards the deserted and dimly lit corridors of the Theatre.

Tap

Tap

Tap

Krieeeee!!

A loud sound was heard again, caught by the sound of the door where the theater was empty, located next to the Theater where Eve's group fell asleep, seen someone opening. Eve gulped along the way as her footsteps began to stop right in front of the door of the Scarla Theater. Eve opened the door, and saw something happening inside the theater stage.

It was like.Pictures in the past are not sightings yes, Eve is very sure. Eve this time seemed confident sitting in the podium room where the theater audience watched an Opera. As if hypnotized.he sees the past picture without blinking.

Helga was fretting with sweat flooding all over her body. Tension and overwhelming fear haunted his dream. Helga opened both eyes and sat quietly with blank eyes. The wind suddenly blew fiercely making Helga's hair instantly cover her beautiful face.

Don't take mine....A small oddity rang out behind Helga's hair.he heard clearly.

Hmmm!! Her soul is mine forever.The answer is clearly from Helga but, her voice is completely different. The voice of an adult man.

No!! He's ours!! The hysterical screams of a Woman and a Man together. Yes, the scream that only Helga Winifred could hear.

Ahhaha!!

Helga's booming laughter or whatever possessed her is now heard echoing throughout the Theatre. If this is human laughter, the loudest sound will not be heard remember? That...each Theatre room is soundproof?

But the sound of laughter was able to pierce even the soundproof walls. Helga laughed out loud as her body flew into the air and turned into a wisp of grayish-white clouds drifting towards the front door of the Scarla Theater. Helga opened her palm wide at the door and then, the door creaked, opened wide.

Helga's eyes sparkled when she saw Eve sitting on the theater podium staring happily at something. Helga's eyes were full of twinkle and became full of emotion seeing what Eve was seeing, also seen by her. Helga opened her mouth wide and a grayish-white cloud emerged out of her mouth cavity and bruised!! Helga fell to the floor unconscious.

The cloud entered the Scarla Theater room, along with the fall of Helga's body on the floor, as the doors of the Scarla Theater closed abruptly. The cloud is now above Eve's head and shifts to Eve's left, becoming the man who shows shelter to Eve and Dimi first.

"I missed you after so long." said the man then glanced cynically at the Theatre stage his hands closing Eve's eyes. In an instant, Eve's consciousness began to return she felt someone had covered her two eyes.

"Dimi, is that you?" lirih Eve.

The deg!!

Someone who closed both eyes Eve immediately released her hand but Eve did not see anyone on the right, left, even behind!! The girl's hair bristles. The sound of people holding a Theatre play was heard. A classic song is very melodious, beautiful but frightening to spoil Eve's ears.

The princess blinked her eyes and realized Eve and Helga were missing when she was very sure, Eve and Helga were asleep flanking her. The princess immediately sat down while rubbing both eyes to make sure what she saw was true. Yes, both girls disappeared!! Are they going to the toilet? The princess immediately stood walking towards Angga.

"Ga, wake!!" call the Princess patting Angga's arm.

"Hmm" answered Angga then but reluctant to open his eyes.

"Ck come on, Eve and Helga disappear wake up...!!" pekik Putri nagged Angga's ear until the Man groaned angrily woke up instantly.

"Come on.it's still night.." Angga protested annoyed.

"So your sleep is more important than Helga's and Eve's safety?!" angry Princess while glaring.

"What?! You sure they disappeared? Who knew they were both looking for a toilet?" pekik Angga was half conscious.

"What if they never come back? Let's wake everyone up and look for the two of them" the Princess warned. So Angga woke up the Men and the Daughters woke the Women.

Braaahag!!

Everyone heard the sound of a door closing very loudly.

"It came from the direction of the corridor passage of the Scarla Theatre!!" pekik Park was very confident in his hearing and then ran towards Scarla Theater, followed by the others.

"God!!" peekik Val panicked to see his partner lying down on the floor. He ran to try to wake Helga up.

"Helga wake!! Helga you hear me?! Helga" called Val to pat Helga on the cheek until the girl named Helga woke up.

"What are you doing on the front door of this theater?" ask Val wonder.

"dreams. I dream.see...Eve's in there with something invisible" Helga said. The girl was confused why did she wake up so tired?

"Damn!!" pekik Dimi then tried to open the theater door but the door was locked from the inside.

"You have to break it down before Eve ends up like Harry" Wang said, suggesting something that could ignite the flames of hostility between her, Dimi and Kim.

"At least you keep your mouth shut, and help me break down this door okay," replied Dimi trying to contain the anger.

Bragh!! Bragh!!

Even before the door was broken, a great force tried to break the door from within. Spontaneously they all moved backwards away from the doors of the Scarla Theater.

Braaahag!!

This time the trick was firmer to make a human-shaped mold that hit hard from inside the door.

Braaahag!!

WuuuusssssssHhhh!!

This final buzz, making the human body mold into a hole through until everyone outside the Scarla Theater was able to see what was behind the door. A huge wind and a wisp of grayish-white clouds emerged from within the mold hole of the human body.

The cloud just left without a second thought, Dimi tried to put his hand into the hole looking for a door knob to open the door from the inside. A hand took his hand!!

"Dimi!!" scream Eve panicked. Dimi who was initially screaming in fear thought something else had caught his hand started to calm down.

"Open Eve's door now" Dimi's orders are obeyed.

"Please!! It's so hard to open!! The key is not locked!! But as if locked should be..kyaaaaaaa!!" eve's terrified shriek sounded deafening to Dimi and the others. The black shadow looked enormous, able to pull both feet until he fell to the floor and was mercilessly pulled away from the door.

"Gee!!" yell Dimi. He is now trying to break down as hard as possible for the safety of his partner.

Bragh!!

The violent clash left the door finally open. Wait for. This is so strange, why is the door so easy to open this time? But that question should be discussed later because now, the most important thing is Eve's safety.

Dimi and the others rushed in and found Eve's whereabouts nowhere. Only a few wax mannequin dolls look exactly the same as Haru once told me.

"It's really the same as a real human being" wowed Wang reaped everyone's glare. Is his brain not working properly? Instead of looking for Eve, she admires the wax mannequins.

"Keep Wang away from that candle mannequin!! All!! Don't look at the mannequin's face or you'll get entangled in it!!" haru's shriek covered his face with both hands his body trembling in fear.

Dante widened his eyes as soon as he saw Wang's eager behavior to kiss the forehead of the wax mannequin before him. Spontaneous Dante and Dimi pull Wang's body away from the wax mannequin. The man went on a rampage when he was kept away from the mannequin as if he had been forcibly removed from his lover.

"Please.we have to get out of here!!" whinek Haru interrupted Wang thrashing furiously. Everyone except Wang agreed to drag Wang out of the Theater. As soon as Wang was dragged by Dimi and Dante through the door of the Scarla Theater, Wang's roar could no longer be heard, The man simply perched on the shoulders of the two with a limp body.

"Hey!! The wang!! Are you all right?!" park asked frantically to see his partner weaken so. Wang just nodded his head as he looked up at Park between hesitating and wanting to talk.

"The ma-mannekins.they. Th-but my attention was only on the mannequin in front of me" Wang said still limp.

"That's how I feel about the mannequin in the coffin" whispered Haruko Lirih.

"We have to stay alert okay, Haru once said, that a mannequin lives, because a kiss from it isn't it? And we don't know yet how many mannequins there are in this whole theater. And how many mannequins live on this island" El said at length made everyone silently peek. Silence in the freezing of the night...

"Stop. Most importantly, save Eve's life!!" pekik Kim stressed what should be made a top priority.

"Find Clamentine.or you all die. Sacrifice one, find Clamentine, and you're all safe" everyone quietly looked at each other. No one said that, they were well aware of it. Where did that sound come from? Berte's eyes widened to find what he saw behind the bodies of Dimi, Dante, and Wang!! Black shadow!!

"Guy....Run!!" berte shouted back and then ran up the algal ridge followed by everyone. The thunderous laughter deafened everyone's ears.
