End Journeys
The Exclusive News

The tent is finished. Kylie and Ruby cook instant noodles for their lunch while Anton, Reno, Thomas and Felix are busy planning something Ruby doesn't know about. Bella and Cassie accompany Andy and Amy to take a nap inside a cozy tent.

"Lunch is ready. Eat first" Ruby said.

Everyone gather and eat instant noodles that Ruby has cooked.

"Today we camp as usual so have fun" Anton said.

"Sure" replied Bella.

Amy and Andy are still asleep in the tent and skipping their lunch. After the meal, each of them was busy. Cassie and Bella as usual, made a video. Kylie accompanied the sleeping children. Reno just kept quiet and played her phone outside the tent while Thomas was busy writing something. Ruby, Felix and Anton leave the camp and walk to the motel about two kilometers from where they camp.

"Are you ready to go back to that place again?" Anton convinces Ruby and Felix.

"of course. Until this matter is over I won't be able to sleep well" Ruby replied.

The three of them left on foot through a small paved road on the outskirts of the forest.

"We have to go to where the sect used to be to see what plans they will do" Anton said.

"All right" Felix replied.

It only took them 20 minutes to get to the motel. The atmosphere looks crowded as usual, there are many visitors to the motel.

"They're reopening this motel as usual huh" Felix murmured.

"We need to find out if they are visitors or members of the sect who stay" said Ruby.

"yes too. Don't you recognize their faces?" ask Anton.

"Because of using the face coverings so I don't remember their faces too much" Ruby replied.

Carefully, Anton enters the motel and pretends to be a visitor while Ruby and Felix head to where the ritual is performed.

I don't know what Anton is going to do, Ruby and Felix don't know either but they believe in Anton. While walking, Felix tells Thomas that they have survived to the motel and tells him that he and Ruby are on their way to the hallway.

"Be careful" whispered Ruby.

They both managed to sneak into the ritual. There was no longer an altar with a candle on its side. The statues are also no longer there, there is only dry grass in the area.

"If indeed during the eclipse they did not perform the ritual why did they prepare the altar?" Felix wondered.

"It's just appropriate that they don't really catch us" Felix added.

"That's the problem we'll just ask bi Ellen later," replied Ruby.

They both observed the circumstances around and there was indeed no one there. The gate they had to pass was locked so they entered by climbing the gate. In addition, the dry clump that was there like it was deliberately placed in such a way.

"Are they trying to cover this place now?" ask Ruby.

"It could be" Felix replied.

Felix and Ruby walk towards the wall where they escaped with Andy first. Ruby rose first followed by Felix.

"I forgot the way to the well a little bit" Ruby said.

The two of them walked while occasionally bushing the bushes that blocked their path. Ruby and Felix's legs were scuffed by the sharp grass but it did not dampen their steps.

"That's. Hold on," Felix sped up his pace while pulling Ruby's hand.

Ruby opened the plywood that covered the well. The inside of the well still looks the same as the first time Ruby went in there.

"I went in first" said Felix.

He wanted to make sure that the situation inside would be fine.

Next, Ruby entered slowly. Now they have prepared themselves with flashlights and even brought medicine and food.

They walked without saying until they finally found a branching path.

Felix clasped Ruby's hand, they both chose a path that was not the way to the well behind Anne's house.

Unlike the exit, the passageway they passed through was narrower and darker. It feels a little stuffy in there.

"You okay?" felix whispered.

Ruby did not reply and gestured for Felix to remain silent.

Not long after they walked down the hallway, they met the end of the hall. A large place, on the right and left side there is a torch and there is an altar.

And the most surprising thing was, two bamboo poles covered in blood stood beside an altar. But there was no one there.

Felix photographed the place, and so did Ruby. They didn't miss anything.

Ruby approached the bamboo pole, and it was true that the red liquid that covered the bamboo pole was blood. But he could not confirm that the blood was human blood or not. Below, in addition to the blood splattered Ruby also found quite long hair. Quite a lot of hair was scattered there.

"I think it's a woman's hair" Ruby pointed at the hairs for Felix to see.

Other than the altar, hobor and bamboo pole there were only a few large stones and an empty wooden shelf there.

"The blood seems new" Felix said.

They felt sure they could find something else in that place. Ruby and Felix are busy looking around for something they feel is hidden in that place.

"See there's a crate" Felix said while recording with his cell phone.

"I opened it?" ask Ruby.

Felix allows and finally Ruby hesitantly but curiously opens the chest. It contained a dog carcass with the stomach that had come out. Felix took a photo of it and told Anton.

"Go back" said Anton.

Although Ruby is not satisfied looking but they must return soon.

***

There was no danger threatening along Ruby and Felix's journey to the place until they returned to the campsite. Anton came later after he finished his business.

"What did Anton say?" ask Thomas.

"He was just saying that this was going to be exclusive news" Ruby replied.
