Hidden In The Mist
Chapter 26 Mother

"We've turned around four times here Her, it looks like something's wrong with the map, are you sure you didn't read it wrong?"

"No Gus, I'm sure our directions are correct, according to the directions in this map."

"From the image on the map, we should be heading south, which means at the intersection of this road, we turn right here Gus, but I don't know, I don't understand, how can that happen?"

"It looks like we were misled by something. But could there be a creature who doesn't want us to come to that village?"

Herly and Bagus stopped his car on the side of the road. The young man decided to pause for a moment, then checked the map and the road conditions.

It's good to make sure they're on the right track. Herly watched around, he could not stop thinking, how could they turn around in the same lane, while the path they traveled was correct according to the map instructions.

For some time, Bagus just kept silent while feeling the smooth breeze. His eyes closed, and the man's hands felt palpable as he walked up to five hundred meters from the starting point of their car.

Meanwhile Herly was fast asleep. Fatigue and sleepiness can no longer be held. Shortly afterwards Good returned to the car, and this time walked again to the left.

It's good to do the same, then get back to the original point in front of their car. Fretfully he thought hard about this strange phenomenon.

"Who is the possessor of this black power. His aura is so concentrated, I must be vigilant, he is definitely not an indiscriminate creature, which can be underestimated."

"This place is empty. There are no other riders in this area, so I can't ask passers-by."

"Or don't this road, it's no longer used?"

Arrived Good to see Herly's body as if it would be difficult to move. He was in so much pain that the young man's breath choked. Herly was holding her neck, like there was something stuffing in her throat.

"Her.. Herly wake up bro, what's wrong with you, man, Hey... Herly..!"'s...!"

Good panic, he slapped Herly in the face. The young man knew that his friend was having a nightmare, but somehow Herly's body condition seemed unnatural, her body was hard, clenched, strangling her own neck.

"Mothers... Mom... Don't go mom, I'm Herly's mom's son!"

"Muleh is good, your call sits nang kene ngger, muleh ben iki kabeh sing's mom nanggung."

"Cake corner keep ne, yen pingin cake jam."

Herly cried out hysterically, her face pale, sweat soaked the man's face. Good to give Herly a bottle of mineral water right away. Shakily herly took the bottle, and drank until he choked a little.

"What's up, Her, why is your face pale, what's your nightmare?"

Can't wait Good want to find out what's wrong with Herly, only this time he saw there are people who have nightmares to the point of being cornered until they can't breathe.

"I met my mother somewhere strange, everything looks red, she seems to suffer from her torn clothes, from her eyes running fresh blood, I tried to get closer, but mother forbade, she asked us to go home."

"This is not my place he said, telling us to go home. Mom told me not to continue on this journey, if I wanted to survive."

"What does this dream mean, but mother implies suffering, she also said, let all this mother bear it."

"From the beginning I was lost, I expected it. Some don't like us looking for the location of the village. Because of this we always turn around here."

"But we're already here, you better keep going, all the problems must be resolved, so that later there will be no regrets Her."

"You're right, Gus, however it's been our decision. I'm sure we're on the right track, this time let me drive, you see the map."

"There's no way the map's wrong. The homo pallbearers, too, used the same map to take him to his final resting place."

"Let's ride Gus, we try once again, I'm sure this time, we'll definitely reach our ancestral village."

Herly took over the wheel, she sure as hell won't get lost again for this time. Good according to him, the car again drove down the forest at the right intersection according to the ancient map held by Bagus.

The atmosphere began to change, the sky became cloudy, they drove between cliffs, forests, and canyons. They really got on the right track this time.

Although the road was no longer paved, Herly grew more confident. Herly sure. Soon they would arrive at the ancestral village.

"Near by night Her, better pull over, we find a place to title the tent, we rest dinner, tomorrow morning just continue to look for the location of your ancestral village."

Herly pulled over, she looked at the map and the village in question was no longer, far from where they were now. Herly revives the car engine, runs slowly looking for the right field for the night.

"If I'm not mistaken, a little more we will reach the village gate, but let's find a safe place to set up a tent. I'm tired of Gus, too."

Herly stopped by the side of the road at a field, then set up a tent. It is good to immediately cook water to brew coffee, next, cook food at a rate for both of them.

While waiting for Nice to be ready with their food, Herly chooses to check around, while picking up a dry twig twig to make a campfire.

"Don't go too far Her, we don't know this area, who knows in this area there are still wild beasts."

"Just calm down, Gus, I'm not going far, just looking for firewood near here, it's getting cold."

Herly stepped a little cover towards the forest, while continuing to be vigilant, she gathered a bunch of dry twigs scattered on the ground.

Unknowingly, Herly was getting further and further away from their tent. It was good that from the beginning felt uncomfortable with the black aura that followed them so worried. The young man immediately stopped the activity, then looked for Herly's whereabouts.

"Where did the boy go. I told him not to go too far away from the tent. Just bother!"

It's good to turn off the stove immediately, then go after Herly. He hurriedly ran into the forest because something was lurking about them from somewhere.

Shortly afterwards Good saw Herly standing in the forest with a blank look. Suddenly Herly's eyeballs turned white, saying something that Good did not understand.

"Her, let's get out of here, this place is not safe for us!"

Herly's rigid condition sculpted, forcing Bagus to drag, and carry his body, out of the forest. As the sky begins to turn orange, the sun will soon sink.

Nice to run while carrying Herly's stiff body, like a wooden statue. Something in the woods made him not want to meet that night in the woods.

Nice to lay Herly's body in the tent, while he was immediately swept up to make a bonfire to warm the body. It's been a long time, but Herly hasn't come to her senses. Good can not do much, he can only apply oil while kamit kamit recited a prayer for his friend.

"Gus, where am I, my mother and brother where are they going Gus?"

"You were unconscious in the woods. I'm the one who took you back to the tent. About your mother and brother, I don't know Her. I don't see anyone in the woods, other than yourself."

"You're just hallucinating, you better pray a lot. This place is not safe for us Her."

Great to give mineral water and a cup of coffee, then they eat in the tent. It was nice to ask what Herly was feeling right now, but it was off because he felt that there was someone other than them, in that place.

"You rest in the morning once in the morning, we go to the village."

Herly nodded, then went into the sleping back. While Nice tidied the cutlery and put it in the back tub of the car.

Just about to follow Herly into the tent, arrived Good to see two silhouettes in the middle of the road. Spontaneously he pointed the flashlight halfway, but there was nothing there.

For a moment Good stood beside the car door, and the silhouette was again visible. This time it was closer than where he stood.

"The shit is playing me!"

It's good swearing in the heart, then getting in the car. Nice upset and turned on the fog lights and waited for a moment.

There was no movement, nor any sign in the fog, only the sound of the sound of the night insects gave him goosebumps. The night was getting late, and the cold air increasingly felt piercing the skin.

Good to turn off the fog lights, then walk towards the tent. But the unexpected, then happened. Right next to his ears. There were two shadowy figures of women standing grinningly shouting something into Nice's ears.

"Muleh.muleh, Yen kue kabeh arep selamet, ojok jasukno nang deso iku. Lek no, the cake must be dead.... Die...!"

A threat-pitched sentence that sounded loudly snapped, in Bagus ears, made the young man sit on the ground while closing his ears.

The hoarse voice of the woman, saying they must go home if they want to survive, if they still continue to recklessly continue the journey to the village, then both will die.
