peek a boo

"Now just think about how to get out of this place!" bentak Reno's.

"Eh, we can actually leave" Thomas said.

"Wait for what else? Come on," Felix walked out of the room followed by his other friends.

"What about Anne?" Ruby asked Felix.

"Isn't he also a follower of the sect? Leave it alone," he replied casually.

"What if he did it to save us?" Ruby argues with Felix witnessed by her other friends.

"Ah, yes. Let's find out Anne's whereabouts" Felix angrily walked into the not-so-dense woods where the ritual is being performed tomorrow.

Ruby and her friends follow Felix. They decided to attack openly.

"Let us. You wait here" Thomas stopped his friends who had just arrived. However, they still want to help Ruby, Felix and Thomas pick up Anne for fear of something bad happening.

They decided to go together. Bella and Cassie still run the main goal they come to the place is to do live. On the way to where the ritual will be performed, Cassie again performed live on her YouTube. As always, a lot of people commented on live chat when Cassie was live.

"We are on our way to the ritual site of the sect. Make sure you watch this broadcast until the end" Bella said on camera.

"Stop!" felix's steps came to a sudden halt. The people walking behind him stopped.

"You see that gate? It was the entrance to the ritual site. Ruby and I will enter because we are their target in this ritual. You stay here" Felix said.

"But, if anything happens.."

"We can yell or call you guys" Ruby tried to calm down.

"Well," all of Ruby's and Felix's friends agree with Felix's idea.

Ruby goes first, followed by Felix. Unlike usual, the place was very quiet. There was no one around the altar.

"Maybe they're close again" Ruby murmured.

"What meeting?" ask Felix who doesn't understand what Ruby's saying.

"Follow me" Ruby walked first because she knew more about the place than Felix.

They walked very carefully towards the place where Ruby eavesdropped on the talk of the sect elder who was gathered a few days ago.

"I forgot, to go there we have to go through that hall. Maybe they were gathering in the hall," Ruby said as she continued walking. Carefully they walked towards the hall that Ruby was referring to.

"What's? There is no one" Ruby said after they peeked at the hall that Ruby was referring to.

"Maybe somewhere else you've been saying" whispered Felix.

They again settled into the gathering place of the sect elder Ruby saw.

"You see that room? That's where I mean," Ruby told Felix the room she saw a while ago.

"I was the only one there. You please watch from here," Felix walked over to the room very carefully. While Ruby watches from behind the pot of plants.

Felix peered around from the window but there was no one he could see. Suddenly Felix's phone vibrated, there's a phone coming in from Thomas.

"What's wrong?" ask Felix.

"They came and just entered the gate" replied Thomas who then turned off his phone.

"Damn it, did they deliberately trap us," Felix returned to where Ruby was and ran away from the place.

"What's wrong?" ruby whispers.

"They came" Felix replied, crouched behind a huge goat statue.

Ruby and Felix closed their mouths with their hands after seeing the horrifying and extremely disgusting sight with their own eyes.

"Crazy! These people are not sane" Felix said.

Ruby continued to watch the scene where the body of a person she thought was the corpse of a woman she found on the riverbank, was being laid on the altar.

"This woman committed suicide and has a great sin" said the old man who stood before the dozens of sect members present.

Ruby actually agreed with what the old man said, suicide is indeed a very forbidden act.

"Then we have to perform a ritual to exterminate the sin of this woman" the old man continued.

Ruby and Felix were very curious about what rituals they would perform there, with corpses whose skin had been torn apart.

"Why didn't the police come when I said I found the body" Ruby was very sorry to see the woman killed and used as ritual material.

Here Ruby learned that the sect member in front of her was a new sect member. Meanwhile, Felix was busy recording the incident that was happening in front of his eyes.

A knife of a very large size was taken by the old man. He slashed the belly of the corpse carefully.

"Ah, I can't see this," Ruby turned her back to Felix while Felix continued to record in horror.

"Are we going to be slashed alive tomorrow?"

"We ran away after this," Felix hugged Ruby.

"Ehem," a woman cleared her throat beside them.

"Anne!" Ruby was excited to see Anne's condition seemed to be fine.

"Let's go together" Felix asked.

"Go away. I will stay here" he replied with a smile.

"Hey! Our victim for tomorrow turns himself in!" anne suddenly.

All eyes were on those who were crouching to hide.

"What the fuck?" Felix spontaneously snapped at Anne.

"I cheated you. I am a member of this sect hahaha," his laughter was deafening.

Ruby secretly calls Thomas but doesn't speak so they hear the conversation between Ruby, Felix, and Anne

"You are too trusting" said someone who approached them.

Now the pair of twin brothers laughed with satisfaction to see Ruby and Felix quietly glued to the place. Ruby crouched down and picked up a handful of sand. He threw the sand into Ann and Anne's face. They ran but did not get out of the place because they were already surrounded. The gate was guarded by very many aggota sects. They ran towards the hall.

"Thomas we're surrounded," Ruby spoke on the phone.

"Wait, I'll come with friends" he replied.

Felix and Ruby hide around the hall but no one seems to be approaching them.

"Hi" a tiny hand patted Felix's shoulder.

A little boy in plain clothes came over to them.

"You wanna play?" ask the little boy.

"We don't have time" Felix ignored the little boy.

"Hide in my house" replied the boy.

"What's your name?" ask Ruby.

"Andy" he answered.

Ruby and Felix looked at each other in confusion about whether to follow the child or not.

"Follow it," Felix told Ruby.

"Alright, please help us," Ruby asked Andy for help.

"Let's follow me" the boy named Andy walked up to them.

They walked carefully through the back of the hall. There is a wall that is low enough, so easily the three of them can pass through by climbing.

"Finally out there," said Andy.

"If the clan goes straight south, you will find a place to enter the area. A gate," he added.

Ruby and Felix remember Andy's words so they can come back later. They walked through thick bushes until they reached the river bank.

"This river, you're staying with the current to get back," Andy kept giving clues so they could escape.

"Thank you Andy, for helping us" Felix said.

"Wait,Andy?"

Andy turned his body around and smiled very wide while looking at Ruby.

"Don't you remember me?" ask her.
