Chapter 116: Listen to Me
Chapter 116: Listen to Me.
Eight o'clock at night.
The bus stopped in front of the hospital. The boy gave a farewell greeting to the girl who had just got off the bus with two adult women and one small child. He keeps seeing Red getting off the bus while Ben still has to travel a few minutes to get to the front of the house.
Ben looked towards Red.
The girl was crossing at the crosswalk in front of the hospital along with many people there.
He gets a seat right in front of the ghost of the woman who was there that he saw and Red saw not yet gone.
Lean in the seat.
The female ghost continued to stare gloomily at Ben.
Winds into the window of the bus.
Ben tidied his jacket again crossing both hands to the abdomen.
Ten minutes passed Ben stood up and left the bus seat walking forward towards the front door of the bus.
The bus stops and the bus door opens, Ben gets off the bus.
Just came in front of the gym.
A car stopped on Ben's right side walking to the left side of the road to the gym where the windows were open and Ben knew whose car he was calling.
"Dad straight home?" ask Ben.
"Yes" said Ben's father.
"What's going on?" ask Ben.
"This. You take Dad's shirt at the laundry place" Ben's dad said.
"Why should I. Is there another assistant for Dad?" ask Ben.
"His father wants you to take it" said Ben's father.
Ben received a paper for his father's shirt at the laundry shop.
His father's bodyguard who was also driving and also in the front seat on the left seemed to smile at seeing this.
Ben was still with the mask and the black sling bag he was wearing.
"I don't think I'm his son" Ben said.
Ben goes walking towards the laundry shop which is about ten minutes away if he walks.
It was a bit far away but he chose to walk.
The message came on Ben's phone.
Ben took the phone in his pants pocket then opened the message and read it.
"Mom's been sending food to the gym" Ben's mother said.
"Must be eaten!!!!!!"
Message from Ben's mother.
"Yes" Ben replied directly.
Ben was just about to walk into a food store near the laundry shop. He turned around and went to get his father's clothes.
Arriving in front of the laundry shop into the store.
Gave evidence of his father Ben's clothing collection.
The guard received the evidence from Ben's hand and read it.
He looked towards Ben.
Seems to remember again
"Bang Ben's the artist, right?" ask the laundry shopkeeper.
"Which artist?" ask Ben.
"That's in the ad. I have the poster" said the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper immediately brought Ben's picture from the shop wall.
"It hasn't been here in a long time" the shopkeeper said.
Ben opened the mask and it turned out to be true that the laundry shopkeeper guessed. That was Ben.
"Can you have a photo together?" ask the shopkeeper.
"May" said Ben.
"Friends of friends here are Ben's new artist!" shouted the laundry shopkeeper.
Everyone who works in the store and other visitors who are there taking photos together scrambling with others want to take pictures with Ben.
"Gam!"
"Gam!"
"Gam!"
They took pictures alternating with others taking pictures with Ben.
A fan meeting took place at that place.
Marid was there watching already from two minutes ago waiting for the Shopkeeper to finish taking pictures with Ben.
"Do I have to take a picture with the kid?" ask Marid.
Marid put her dirty clothes on the long table of clothes reception that will be in the laundry.
"Excuse me" Marid said.
"Excuse me" Marid said again.
A ferocious mode appeared.
"Excuse me!" said Marid.
The people who were there were silent looking at Marid then immediately the laundry shopkeeper approached Marid quickly.
"Sorry, can I help you?" ask the shopkeeper who spoke to Ben first.
"I want this laundry" Marid said.
"Good Sir. I'll weigh it first" said the laundry shopkeeper.
Marid gets a white paper proof of the shirt and she sits there for a while in a chair for the shopgoers to call someone.
Ben continues his fan meeting.
Ben's eyes blinked after he finished signing a final piece of paper from the fans.
Give the paper to fans who ask for signatures.
Marid.
Marid finished by replying to someone.
"It's over" Marid said.
"You waiting?" ask Ben.
"Yes. I'd like to stay at your house" Marid said.
They walked back to Ben's house.
Relaxing walk.
Ben looked back and looked ordinary, there was nothing strange about the crowded streets with transport vehicles passing on the road to the left of Ben and Marid, he was on his right side walking in tandem.
Passing through some stores is still safe.
"Is this just my feeling?" ask Ben.
"What's wrong?" ask Marid.
Marid looked at Ben.
"No" said Ben.
Marid looked back towards the front of the direction they were heading in now.
His feet stopped stepping.
Everything he saw was like being in a foggy night forest.
"Did I watch too many horror movies?" ask Marid.
"What's up now?" ask Ben.
It's back as before.
Marid surprised.
"Oh. I'm fine" Marid said.
Walking towards Ben's house still continued leisurely.
Ben heard footsteps.
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
Footsteps such as stepping on leaves and dry tree branches.
Ben heard the voice doubtfully.
"Maybe the sound here is crowded with vehicles" Ben said.
He focused again on where he was going.
Marid stopped again in walking footsteps.
He looked again at the image of the wilderness before him at this moment.
"Are you not Ben?" ask Marid.
"Then what are you?" ask Ben.
"Try to look around us" said Marid.
Ben complies with what Marid ordered. He watches what is around them.
"Quick we get home here and it starts to get stuck" Ben said.
The world that Marid saw disappeared changed again with the world that was in Ben's eyes.
"Let's go home soon" said Marid.
"Adrrarghh!" said Marid.
His body was like it had just been hit by something.
"You're joking again" Ben said.
Marid saw who had just seen him in the back but there was no one he saw who he saw people walking in the direction where they went following a path made of adobe ash ash on the side of the road for pedestrians.
Ben looked towards Marid.
"It's weird. Why is it like something has happened" Ben said.
"Then what is it?" ask Ben.
He read this situation and saw that something like this made him curious.
The sound of footsteps was heard again. Ben followed Marid.
"Krakk!"
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
The sound of that step grew faster.
"Krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk"
The sound of footsteps stopped.
These two teenage boys looked around them checking that what they had heard was not strange.
As in one blink of an eye everything has changed.
Smog was visible in their eyes looking among the tall trees at a time that was also night.
Marid saw Ben.
"You're not Ben, are you?" ask Marid.
"I don't want to fight" Ben said.
"Oh yeah. You're right, Ben" Marid said.
See time on the watch.
The clock's hand stopped spinning visible from inside Marid's watch in the right hand.
"Dead. See what time it is?" ask Marid.
Ben looked at the clock on his watch and then just like what Marid was doing. They both looked at the time on their phone screens.
"Dead" said Ben.
"Why?" ask Marid.
Walking becomes more compact they are in a place that they do not know that they are clearly in the forest.
The sound of the night of the forest silence and twigs falling along with the leaves of the trees around the forest.
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
Footsteps are heard again.
"You hear that?" ask Ben.
"I guess I'm the only one who heard it" Marid said.
"Let's find a way out of this forest" Ben said.
"Can we think clearly. Why are we here?" ask Marid.
"Can you use teleportation?" ask Ben.
"This world. I can't believe it" said Marid.
The white mist turned black around them looking above the forest trees. In the same forest was also heard again that voice.
The sound of feet running slowly.
"Krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk"
Then even faster.
"Krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk krakk"
The sound stopped.
The two teenagers could still hear the sound of footsteps in the forest they came to. Fear also was was certainly they felt.
Find a way to where they can save themselves.
"I remember something" said Marid.
He picked up something that was inside the black backpack he was wearing.
"You always carry that" Ben said.
Marid picked up the compass she always carried with her wherever she went.
"To keep watch" said Marid.
They had been friends since elementary school and this was one of the habits of Marid that Ben had known since childhood.
The compass was on the run and it still works.
"Where are we going?" ask Marid.
"You decide you're usually the bearer of luck" Marid said.
"If anything happens don't blame me" Ben said.
"You must be to blame" Marid said.
"alright. We're heading north" Marid said.
Go north in the direction of the antique brown compass needle that measures a quarter of Marid's palm.
The atmosphere was again silent in the sound of the cold forest was also foggy.
It looks like both pairs of legs of a woman in a suit and a red skirt made of chiffon do not wear footwear.
He was hiding behind a tree.
"Hah hah hah hah"
The sound of breathing was heard from him.
He was in invisible fashion hiding behind a large tree.
The dark black foggy creature came closer towards the woman right in front of her.
His mouth shut with his own hands.
The creature was still there looking for the whereabouts of the real woman in front of him himself but he could not see her.
The black fog went away flying away a meter two meters and further and further away from this woman.
This woman began to feel a little relieved because the creature was getting away.
The fingernail that was exposed to the ground and the blood from the scratches of the wounds that he had been able to see all this time in the pale skin he started running away from the creature that had yet to catch up again.
Run and keep running.
Stop for a moment and he also gave a scratch mark on a tree again using pointy rocks that he found earlier and he took it into his right skirt pocket.
Then, he immediately ran again from the tree he had just marked.
The black fog was seen chasing the woman back.
The woman sensed the arrival of the creature and immediately went running as fast as she could to save herself again.
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
"Krakk"
The voice again sounded very clear but increasingly disappeared was heard by Ben.
Marid was still focused on the compass in hand while Ben heard the footsteps again.
"You hear footsteps again?" ask Ben.
"No. You hear that again?" ask Marid.
"Yes" said Ben.
Flow and Uri continued to run as much as possible from the pursuit of the creature again and again.
Sweat on his face and hands also experienced the same thing in a breath that was clearly panting with fear from the pursuit of creatures that he did not know who the creature that arrived just chasing him mercilessly.
"Brugggg!"
He fell due to tripping over the large wooden root in front of him and he did not have time to complain he immediately stood up again with a leg that was clearly sick from the fall. He ran back.
His injured knee blood flowed from his right knee and he didn't even care what he thought was how he could escape from the creature's pursuit.
Marid stopped on a tree that split in two.
"It's like just a few minutes ago it split" Marid said.
Ben will touch the tree that has been split into two.
"Don't!" said Marid.
"Why?" ask Ben.
Marid turned on the flashlight she took from inside the backpack.
There is a black liquid like mixed with blood there is contained in the former piece of wood that is split into two in a wooden trunk that looks yellowish white in the trunk of the tree.
Five minutes before they came to the forest. Flow and Uri are not yet in vanishing mode.
Flow and Uri are behind a large tree hiding from creatures who do not know where it came from.
Chasing after the two who also arrived was there.
A flash of dark fog came attacking the two of them piercing through the tree where they were hiding.
"Krekkkkkkkkkkk!"
Two meters away the tree was split in two directly by the creature in front of Flow and Uri.
