pancason
27. Strange creature
The clock shows at 3 am. Everyone was already exhausted and even started to get very sleepy.
They finally decided to take a break. Before continuing tomorrow's journey
Apri and Ozan are still unconscious
brought into the tent.
They were all convinced, if the two friends were already completely conscious, so there was no need to be tied up like before.
The atmosphere of the forest was silent. No more noise from Ozan or Apri. They all began trying to sleep because their journey was still quite long, and they were already eager to go home. It's just that it's all like a dream that will be realized suit.
Just a few hours they slept, suddenly a strange sound was heard outside the tent. The first person to see it was Diah. Diah blinked, her forehead shriveled, and was sharpening her hearing. The position is still the same, not moving at all. He glanced around without changing position. This time out of curiosity Diah started moving to check on Apri's condition.
But Apri was still asleep. Not even moved from his position.
Diah who began to be confused, then looked around and saw his friends had fallen asleep.
I don't know why the sleepiness is gone. He stared at the clock on his wrist. Apparently he's only been asleep for about 30 minutes. Diah feels her sleep time is still very less.
I don't know why he can't sleep anymore.
Diah began to fidget, his feelings were not calm, then suddenly from outside the tent there was a shadow that flashed. Diah immediately looked towards the shadow disappearing. He wondered what was out there. Now Diah finally sat down while watching around. The bonfire outside was able to display a shadow that could be caught.
Its shape is like a human only part of his body looks bigger and his legs are very small, in line with his head which is also equally small. If only it were human it was not the size of normal humans in general.
Diah begins to fear him and wakes up his friends. Unfortunately, they all slept.
They were all so exhausted that it was very difficult to wake up. But Diah did not give up. He kept waking them up until one of his friends finally woke up.
"What the hell, Di!" rea's tirade that finally could not stand it anymore because her body was constantly shaken by Diah. His efforts succeed in waking Rea up, despite having to endure the noise of Rea's scolding.
"Srush! Don't be noisy!"
"Why the hell?!" Rea still looks upset because her sleep event is messy because of Diah.
"Sorry, sorry! But Re ... I saw a shadow. Scared, Re. That's why I woke you guys up, but you guys went to sleep. Good thing you woke up" Diah whispered.
"What did you see? What kind of shadow is that?" asked Rea who was still unaware of the fear experienced by Diah.
"No idea! Strange shadow, human but not human. He's out of here, surrounding our tent. I'm afraid that she's mean or maybe she's .. " Diah said without continuing.
"Don't do what?" ask Rea who is starting to realize there is something serious now.
"Don't fuck around. Demons especially? Not quite what, the trance incident earlier? You are doing some waking up. You should sleep, so you don't have to squirm no longer," said Rea who actually began to be afraid but trying to look relaxed.
"I'm awake. There's still a weird noise, Re. There was even a strange shadow. More scared dong, so can't sleep anymore!"
"Hm ... Maybe I saw it wrong, Di. Yes already. Back to sleep again," persuaded Rea who tried to divert their conversation.
It feels like the trance event that just finished earlier, has made his power drained. So Rea was not ready for another incident after the trance. He prefers to divert all so that there is no longer a discussion of other things, because it is said that if
man is talking about the astral figure, then what is being talked about will appear. Honestly, Rea wasn't ready for that. Moreover, his body was already very tired. He really wanted to rest and sleep long enough.
That just doesn't apply to Diah. Diah who was actually scared, but more curious even invited Rea to check out the tent. Finally there was a debate between the two. Will they keep checking out or they forget about it and go back to sleep.
The discussion that was still going on suddenly stopped as a thudding sound like an object falling from the sky echoed around them. Diah and Rea looked at each other with sign language transmitted from the glare of their eyes.
They did not make the slightest sound, only eye gazes and nods of their heads or trunks
as if it represented the words they were about to say.
They both agreed to check out the tent. The zipper door opened slowly, trying not to make the slightest sound by making more careful movements.
Diah is in the front position. Behind him was Rea who actually disagreed with the idea. But he had to follow what Diah said. Because it would be more dangerous, too. If Diah goes out alone to check what happened.
Rea certainly still had a heart, and was anxious if something bad happened to his friend again. Diah is out of the tent. Rea followed after. The two girls just stood in front of the tent while sweeping around.
There was nothing strange as far as they could see now. There was only darkness, the sound of the night beast
, and also the rustling of dry leaves blown by the wind.
As Rea was about to invite Diah back to the tent, Diah held Rea's hand, and pointed to one of the dark corners of the forest. "That's it, Re! you see, right," said Diah whispering with a hand that gripped Rea's arm to turn around and look in the direction that Diah pointed.
"What the hell, Di! There is nothing, just leaves blowing in the wind. Yes, let's go in. I'm still fucking knowing!"
"Wait on! You look first! There it is, Re! The shadow I saw! Yeah really!"
Rea was curious, even though in his brain always told him to leave the place immediately, but his little heart was curious.
Finally Rea looked in the direction that Diah pointed. Upon closer inspection, the figure at the other end was indeed exactly the same as what Diah described. His body was human, only his head was small, smaller than the size of a normal human head. His hands and feet also look very thin but strangely the body looks huge. He hides behind a tree, the lush darkness of the night that helps him disguise his figure.
"God! That's what?!" muttered Rea while
