Followed by the Chaotic Creature
Caged In Toilet

POV NENI

A few days ago, I was not feeling well. My head is dizzy and a little nauseous. My body felt very heavy as if there was a burden on my back. And the more days my condition gets worse.

I've been taking medicine but it's not getting better. Molly my roommate asked me not to come to work today. But I insisted on going in.

I don't know what's in my brain. How could I choose to keep working under these conditions. I can't focus. My eyes are blurred and unclear.

Melya has asked me to rest. But I ignored his advice. I'm glad he greeted me. My relationship with him has not been good enough.

Ever since I last heard her talk on the phone, we almost never chatted again. I fear. I'm afraid she's mad at me because I accidentally eavesdropped on her conversation.

Merely friendly and kind people. And if you're familiar, you'll know that he's a caring person.

Even so he's a person who is a little closed to personal things. He may have some secrets that others don't want to know, so sometimes he lies. He also doesn't like people to worry about him.

That's why I'm afraid he'll get angry when he finds out I eavesdropped on his conversation. In her eyes I was not someone to be trusted to keep her secret.

I wanted to apologize. But that word is like it's stuck in the throat. I finally subconsciously avoided it.

The night is getting late and the air is getting colder. Even though the AC of the room has been turned off my body still shivers. I caught the figure of a woman standing in the middle of the room not far from me.

Blurry view. I can't see his face clearly. I rubbed my eyes. My eyes are watering as my body temperature increases. My vision is getting blurred.

The woman who entered the shift this afternoon was only 5 people. Other than me, Melya, and Alea, the remaining two people had short hair. And I don't remember a new kid coming in today.

So who's this woman? My mind wondered uneasily. The woman realized I was watching her. He walked up to me. I looked away from him and pretended not to see. But he came closer and closer to standing right beside me.

I want to scream or call. But my mouth was glued like it couldn't move. I pretended to be asleep. Wishing this was just my illusion of being sick. But that figure has not yet left.

I should how? My stomach hurts like it's been shaken. I wish someone else had seen this woman near me and walked up to me. But what if I'm the only one who sees it? This fear made me unable to breathe. My stomach ache is becoming.

"Miss?" A soft and familiar voice greeted me. I woke up and saw Melya standing near me. I grimaced with pain in my stomach.

Melya measured my temperature by sticking her palm on my forehead. Then she went to get some medicine and a glass of warm water for me. He won't leave until he makes sure I take his medicine.

After that he told me to rest, he went back to his place. "Sleep again. When it's time to go home I'll wake up."

My stomach is getting wrapped up. The medicine has not reacted. I want to go to the toilet, but I'm afraid I'm alone. I looked at Alea and Melya, they both seemed busy taking phone calls. I don't want to disturb them.

I saw Lala leave the room. I followed him because I thought he was going to the toilet.

"La!" call me when I enter the toilet. Make sure he's inside again.

" Hmm." Lala. The toilet is closed. I took the last bathroom between the three toilet rooms lined up.

When I was about to finish I realized that the tissue in my place was running out.

"He-em "so.

"For the tissue, La. Where I'm finished." I asked.

These small rooms have a bulkhead with a slight gap underneath. The walls do not blend with the floor so it is more like hanging.

We often use gaps that are as small as that to share items such as tissue.

Before long, a hand extended to my room with a roll of tissue. Hands with long, slender fingers and pointed fingernails are more like claws than hands.

"That's not Lala's hand! So, who's next to me?"

The hand knew I didn't respond. He threw his knife at my floor. I was scared inside. But I dare not go out. I think the owner of that hand might have been waiting out there.

I just wish Neni or Alea knew I wasn't in the room and looked for me here.

"Art! " I heard Melya's voice calling my name. I hurried to open the door and looked out.

Unfortunately, what I saw was not Melya but the figure of the woman I saw standing by the door. Her long hair was hanging forward. I immediately went back inside to the restroom and locked her up.

"Art! " I heard Melya's voice calling me again, but this time it was followed by a giggling sound. I realize it wasn't her. I've been fooled. Melya doesn't even know I'm going to the toilet.

I want to scream. If people scream inside, they might come here. Unfortunately I was too scared. To the point that my voice cannot come out.

Soon the toilet lights went out. Alea and Melya thought I had gone home first. The other kids think so too. No one knew I was out of the room. No one knew I was locked in this toilet. Thought miris.

My phone is in the locker. I can't reach anyone, and it looks like it's now a lobet because I forgot to charge the battery last night.

Molly, my roommate, she said she'd go to her brother's house and be back in the morning. I was really sad and desperate. No one is aware. No one knows. No one will come looking for me.

I cower. While my tears and sweat were mixed soaked my face. I was crying sobbing. It's too late to cry no one will hear my voice.

"I'll be locked up here till morning." Isakku.

Meanwhile, Molly returns home early from a visit to her sister's house outside the city. Found the room still dark. He tried calling Neni's mobile number but it was off.

Half of eleven. Neni is not a person who often comes home late without giving news. That's what makes molly worried. Moreover, he is sick.

He had already asked Melya and Alea for help. He wanted to come looking, but Melya stopped him. It's true that there must be people staying on guard here if he comes back suddenly. But until now the trunk of his nose did not appear as well. Molly looked at her phone waiting for news from Alea and Melya.

"Where are you Nen?"
