Part 152 The missing symbol

The car started coming. The men have returned from their duties. Allea ran small towards the door because since the werewolf infiltration incident earlier, the door she locked. Worried there will be another attack. "Wow, what's going on?" chirp Vin as soon as he gets inside the house. They saw a charred black trail of burnt marks earlier. Ellea who was sitting on the sofa just kept quiet while hugging the pillow. He was still very surprised at what had just happened to them.

"So 'they' came, and made it in," explained Allea hesitated.

"What's? Continues to?" pekik Vin's. "Why neck, baby?" Allea held her neck which was painful and painful due to the treatment of the woman.

"Yes, so we just saw a woman running around in the yard being chased by one of 'them', I finally opened the door to tell her to come in. But as soon as he entered, it turned out that the woman had changed shape."

"Continue this?" ask Abhimanyu.

"Eum, it was Ellea who burned her to the ground" said Allea quietly, staring at her twin brother who kept bowing. Abhimanyu was anxious to see his lover who was sitting alone there. There was a fear clearly drawn in Ellea's attitude. He approached and sat down next to the girl. Everyone comes to Ellea. He was nervous to the point of not being able to stop the movement of the body that continues to actively move. This is how Ellea is when she's nervous. Can't be quiet. Abi held the girl's hand. Looked at his eyes sharply.

Yudhishthira stared at a book of his that lay on the table. He grabbed it and looked at the front cover of the book. His forehead wiggling. Staring at the book in his hand and turning to the girl who was being interrogated by her lover. He also looked down at the floor with black spots, fire marks. And that's where he immediately understood what was going on here.

"City ... You read this book?" ask Yudistira seriously. Ellea glanced at him, then nodded slowly. "So you know what this book is about?" judis added with a question that left them all confused. Again, Ellea nodded.

"What is this really about?" abhimanyu urged the two men.

Judis did not answer Abi's question, but instead approached Ellea. Sit beside him. Now Ellea was flanked by the two men. "So you burned the werewolf with one of the spells in this book?" ask Judis again.

"Mantra?" muttered Vin in a questioning tone.

"Yes, really. Ellea spoke a strange language, and the woman was immediately burned," explained Allea who was a key witness to the incident.

"Wow" murmured Judis and looked back at the girl beside him.

"Can anyone explain this?" asked Abi by raising her tone. Judis looked at him coldly, then smiled faintly. "Well, fine. I'll explain. First, this book" he said, pointing to the book in his right hand. "This book tells about the identity of an angel's maid." He looked one by one at the people sitting near him seriously.

"What's? Angel helper? That's right!" vin said he couldn't believe it.

"Certainly? About the spell?" Abi was still very curious.

"Yes the spells in this book will be able to work if spoken by the angelic aides" answered Judis lightly.

"So that means, Ellea ...?"

"Well, he's one of them."

"Can we?!"

"Usually these maids were appointed by 'them' and would last for generations. You could say that the ancestor of Ellea was one of the maids as well. And, all the spells would also work if he, had any connecting objects with the angels."

Ellea held a necklace around her neck, "Here, are you?"

Judis squinted his eyes and noticed the small object. He then likened it to the cover of the book that was still in his hand. "That's amazing!" he murmured with sparkling eyes. "A new lifetime this time I met Maid like you."

"wait. You can explain in more detail, what is the meaning of maid, and angel. And ... angels? Got a maid in the world, for what?!" Abi does have a realistic understanding. Although he is not a religious person, but he knows that God's creatures such as angels cannot be equated with other creatures. And now that they have a maid in the world, that's a very unreasonable thing.

"There are many things in this world that you don't know, young man. If you doubt the angelic helpers on earth, then can you explain about the werewolf? They are also creatures of God, and many think that they are just a fairy tale or seasoning in horror movies. But the proof, you see, right, is that they really exist? So don't you think, something you've never met, it doesn't exist. Because there are many mysteries in the world that have not even been solved by humans" explained Judis at length.

"So I am ...," said Ellea, without continuing her sentence. I hope the old man understands and explains all the things he doesn't know. Because he mentioned about the angel's maid who was addressed to Ellea.

"Where did you get that necklace, son?" judis asked, pointing at the necklace that Ellea was holding in her locket. The same locket as the cover of her book. And this necklace is not just anyone has it. Because really only the chosen ones of course.

"It's from Mama Ruth." Then slide the story of Ellea's past life. How he lived his life with his foster family.

"Squeaky. Normally this would be a task passed down by blood relatives," murmured Judis holding his chin in thought.

"Not everything is like that, sir. As far as I know the Maids were chosen directly by 'them'," added Rendra with a glance up. "Maybe some may pass on from their ancestors, but there are some people who are directly chosen," added Rendra who also understands this.

Judis bit her lower lip while looking hard thinking. "May I see your wrist?" Ellea unshakably showed both of her wrists. He was surprised when he saw a symbol printed clearly on the veins of his right hand. "What'sthis? That feeling doesn't exist!" raung Ellea while rubbing a small picture on her right hand.

Rendra and Judis looked at each other, then nodded slowly. "Well, you were handpicked by 'them'" Yudhishthira said.

"Chosen for what?" Ellea looked nervous and confused.

"Of course to help 'them' in the world. Perhaps one of them was taking care of the creatures of the night," pointed Judis to his charred floor. "You know, Ell, I memorized all the spells in the book, but none of them worked out like what you did."

Ellea stunned. So did everyone in the room. They are like listening to a fairy tale before going to bed that turns out to be real. The roar from the iron room made their attention diverted for a moment in the discussion of this angel.

"I saw Maya first" said Allea.

"So how are you trying to find the nest?" ask Vin.

"There are no results yet. It seems like they are really careful now. You guys collected Lycanoids yourself?" ask Rendra back to Vin and Abhimanyu.

"Well, there's a lot we've collected" Abhimanyu said, staring at Ellea.

"To prison," Abi added, relax. He pressed his head because he felt an uncomfortable pulse due to lack of sleep.

"Seriously, you take him to jail?" jude asked a little in disbelief. "Then what did you say to the police?"

"Om Gio who takes care of everything. He's got an acquaintance at the police station here, and we've told that guy everything. Well at first he did not believe it, but finally Om Gio who convinced, Vin explained. Abhimanyu is seen having a conversation with Ellea both. Vin knew that Abi wanted to calm the girl down. Because he also knows how the character of Ellea is very over thinking about something.

"Have they changed?" whisper Judis to Vin.

"Eum, I don't know. If not, sir. I'd better call Om Gio, yeah. How are they developing there," said Vin.

"I took Ellea to her room first, yes," Abhimanyu said, extending a hand to the girl. Judis nodded. Because he had already allowed them to stay at his house for the night. "Rest, Ell," said Yudis, who also went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.

"Eh, Ell, you look like a witch, yak" Vin said with a smile on his lips.

"Shut up, Vin!" ellea growled with a snide glance at him.

Now the room on the second floor became their destination. A fairly large room with two single-sized beds, it is the place to stay for Ellea and Allea. Abi led her up to the bed. "I'll check the window for a second." He then moved, towards a window that was quite high. Pull the curtains until they close perfectly. This window has glass that cannot be opened. Just as a decorator of the room and so that sunlight can enter into. But air is only obtained from AC in the room only. In fact, this room feels cool with the help of that thing.

Abi also checked the situation outside the room. The view below looks dark. Of course that was not what he wanted to check from where he stood, but rather the intruders who might be around this house. Silent. As far as the eye could see, Abi did not see any suspicious movements out there. May the situation be safely under control tonight. That's hope.

After making sure the room was safe, he went up to the bed and slept next to Ellea. "Biyu, here first, right, until I fall asleep?" ellea asked more towards a plea.

"Yes, I put you here until you go to sleep."

Ellea tightened her embrace to the young man's body. Abi stroked Ellea's back gently. "Biyu, I'm actually scared."

"Hm? Scared why? Because of that werewolf?" ask Abi. The two stared into different angles with their minds still staring far ahead. Imagine what will happen next.

"No. But about the maid. You don't know how she got burned just because I read the words in the book. But strangely, I instantly memorized all the contents of the book. What exactly did Mr. Judis say, about me?"

"Mm .. may be correct. Probably wrong too. As long as it doesn't hurt you and make you wretched, I don't think it's a bad thing, baby," Abi advised. He then kissed Ellea by still rubbing the back of her lover.

"Hm, yeah, yeah. Maybe this will be useful later," muttered Ellea trying to think positive.

"Yes. But now you're sleeping, yeah. Must be tired, right? Don't let you get sick." Ellea nodded, then closed her eyes. This activity is very successful if he can not sleep. Hugging Abhimanyu while complaining, and as a result in just a few minutes now Ellea has really entered the dream realm.

Abi slowly took off Ellea's embrace, and enveloped her lover's petite body. Coinciding with the door of the room that opened with Allea's exhausted face. "Have he slept?"

"Already, All. You too, take a break" Abi said and walked out of the room.

The house of Judis was large enough to be inhabited alone. There are some rooms that are not used and now the guests who will stay at his house. The wisdom of this problem is that now the house feels warmer because of their presence. Of course unless the insistent Rendra will just go home. And Gio who is still in prison is keeping the Lycanoid suspects that they managed to compose.

Finished making coffee, Judis went up to his private library. There was Vin and Abhimanyu sitting with some old books in front of them. "You all love to read" Judis said, and now sat down with them.

"Well, that book, is the bridge of science, sir," said Vin casually.

"Goodoo. Oh yeah, there's one thing I want to talk about Maya." Judis sipped the coffee he had just made. Two young men who initially focused on the book they were reading, now looked at Judis seriously. "About what?" ask Abhimanyu.

"To speed up his self-control. In order for Maya to easily control the nature of the werewolf in her. So look, I just asked some fellow hunters. They say there's a potion that Maya has to drink for three days, so she doesn't change. He can be like Rendra with relatively quick time."

"Rubuan? What are the effects and what are the side effects?" ask Abi again.

"According to those who have experienced this herb is potent, Maya origin has never eaten humans. If you agree, tomorrow I will go to the city to look for the ingredients of the potion. And the side effect was definitely that he would vomit because the evil poison in his body came out. But at least that's the way it can be done now, because if he had to wait for time for him to resist his natural werewolf desires, it would take quite a long time. I'm afraid we've given up on keeping him like this. Moreover, the Lycans are still after us, right? How's it?" Vin and Abi looked at each other, then both nodded in agreement.

The night is getting late, one by one of them decided to sleep to rest the body, and mind. Tomorrow will be exhausting. Yudistira returned to patrol the house. He does this every night to check the safety of his own home. He checked the second floor and made sure all the doors and windows were sealed, then went down again to the first floor. He wants to check on Maya. Because these few minutes his voice sounded faint, not even as usual. Maybe, huh, Maya is tired of constantly screaming like that.

Judis's steps were very careful, going down one by one the steps below. There was something strange downstairs. The cold suddenly. Though above was still stable with not so cold air. As soon as he got below, Judis grew suspicious because the door of the house was wide open, and this reason made the air below very cold. He grabbed a firearm in the corner of the sideboard near the stairs. He slowly walked down the stairs, where the iron room was, but Judis's steps were stopped because the iron door was already wide open just like the door in front.

Judis stayed close to the iron room, to really make sure Maya wasn't there. When she was at the iron door, Maya was still inside. He was crouching with his canine teeth displayed. Seeing that there was a Judis there, Maya began to attack. Judis held Maya's body with her firearm. He tries to push Maya's body away from him. Maya was thrown back into the iron room. Judis quickly closed the door and Maya was again locked inside.

Judis still felt insecure. He knew there was someone else in his house. Judis continued to walk down one room at a time. The cold made my hair stand up. And now the sound of growling sounds faint. But it is quite clear in the hearing of Judis that has been memorized by the strange sounds of the creatures. He was sure they were in his house.

The longer the growl got louder, and suddenly someone hit Judis from behind. They both got into a fierce fight. Judis kept holding the creature's head from biting it. One other hand, he used to grab whatever was nearby to attack the werewolf. Two werewolves came. One more werewolf walked up to look for the others. But suddenly the werewolf's body crashed back downstairs. Judis and the werewolf who were on top of his body, turned to the place where the terrible creature fell. Strange, he could not move like someone was locking his body. And apparently when Judis looked up, Ellea was standing there raising her right hand. His mouth was visibly muttering, while his left hand held a pendant around his neck.

"Finally ..," murmured Judis and was now able to feel secure. Ellea saw the figure above Judis, she moved her hand and threw it against the wall near the door. "Sacrific!" And that figure was instantly devoured by flames out of nowhere. Judis stood up and immediately took out his silver knife. Simultaneously Abi, Vin and Allea woke up to the noise below. Judis stuck the knife right in the neck of the hideous creature. They finally died.

The three of them immediately went downstairs, checking the situation down below. Rendra came and immediately entered the house of Judis because the door of his house was open. His gaze looked extremely anxious while looking at the door. "What's this about? Why the symbol on the door? Who is scorching - scribbles?!" ask Rendra in a panic.

"What's? The door was scrawled?" asked Vin not to believe it. When they looked at the door, it turned out that the symbol was covered by a streak of black paint. One question is, who did that. Because it is certainly a human act.
