Sapphire City's
Chapter 40: like there's nowhere to hide

    Playing the red light green light, that was what Judah thought, because they all should not linger in hiding, no matter what happens they must move towards the upper floor road, and they must all hide, for too long hiding there they must have been attacked sooner or later. Siska and Andy first move. Andy wanted to move far away, but Siska, the girl felt a deep-rooted fear to her feet. Until both can only disturb stepping through 2 cars only.

    Mirna he without any cue, throwing stones at the man who swamp from the matis, Yuda saw the behavior of Mirna made himself freeze because of surprise, fearing that the matis would even run towards them. Yes the assumption missed, matis walked towards the landing stone position. This becomes an opportunity for everyone to walk away from the matis position. Mirna's far-off plunge gives them all a chance to run.

    That's a good golden opportunity, if only it lasts a long time. Because the car lane to ride the upper floor has been closed by simatis. He closed the line with a collection of cars stacked up so that the entire road was closed without leaving a hole.

    “pinter also tuh chick” Derec's annoyance can be felt by everyone, but not only him they are upset, they are all the same.

    “what is no other way?” Ask Andy.

    Siska pointed towards a double door at the end of “there, there is an emergency stair”

    “already we passed the emergency stairs_”

    The car sped up right next to them, and crashed into the door of the emergency staircase. Everyone immediately glanced back, the matis standing right behind them his right hand was stretched forward, just now he was controlling the car by telekinesis, to seal the exit.

    This time both his hands were equally stretched forward, then he clicked his two fingers, suddenly the car lights around lit up so brightly, he said,

    “aaahh glare” Gilang trying to close his eyes.

    “what-what the fuck is” shouted Mirna.

    Judah watched the matis from behind the light of the car lights, the matis sneered to make the young man realize that they were all in danger, plus a faint sound of broken glass.

    “TEARAP!” yell Yuda.

    Without asking anything everyone went straight down, and the last they felt was the sound of various glass shards clashing against each other right above them and after the glass fragments fell. As soon as Yuda saw the broken glass so thin and small that it could barely be seen by the eyes, in contrast to the glass they had seen before, this fragment was almost like a needle.

    “all quickly wake up we have to run” Derec command.

    One by one they got up and started running, except for Deren, he threw the Grenade at simatis. In an instant there was a ledakat that burned everything around him. This opportunity was immediately used by everyone to run as hard as they could to leave the location. But Judah was very sure, the explosion of the grenade would never hit the matis, even from behind the fire, he shouted so badly, a sign that he was angry.

    “ALL DOWN!”

    Everyone immediately lowered their heads after Derec shouted. The glass needles were stuck right in front of Judah, but the matis was still capable of telekinesis.

    “DEREC!”

    Siska's shout shocked everyone. Judah saw Derec protecting them all by letting his right hand, arm and even his right shoulder be hit by glass spines.

    “arg_you guys okay?”

    No one answered, they were all too shocked by what they saw. But Mirna swiftly picked up Derec's gun and directly hit the fire. The fire suddenly split open the way for a figure from behind the fire.

    Yuda first stand “dia can control fire?!”

    “not” Mirna rebut Yuda speech “dia use car iron as prisai” she dumped the gun switch to her flagship weapon, sword.

    Derec is the first person to realize the intention of Mirna “ayo we rewind”

    “backward?” Siska was confused by Derec's remark

    Judah glanced at Mirna who had been walking slowly towards the matis, from here he realized, that the girl would make herself as bait while the others fled. Yuda pulls Siska to his feet, and Gilang helps Derec walk.

    “enggak will” reply him.

    Judah and the others walked away, as the matis watched them all from a distance.

    “Hei” call Mirna “don't look back, let's fight me”

    Matis White Lady, has not responded to anything.

    “by the way, I saw Grenat” Mirna smile satisfied “how does it feel?”

    After hearing the remark from Mirna, without any cue, the White Lady changed the shield she had previously used to withstand the blaze into a long iron resembling a sword with just her telekinesis. When he finished, he attacked Mirna without any excuse, the two of them fought each other's swords, no one gave up on each other, no one gave up, but the matis' emotions to Mirna made him feel much stronger than her. But Mirna did not want to take it easy she had to buy time for her friends, as long as she could.

    “it looks like it's safe” said Yuda.

    Gilang helps Derec sit up, while Siska treats Derec's wounds. Judah did not think that from now on, the matis were always one step ahead of them, every time they made the decision to step, of course the matis would be in front of them, now if they stick to the plan to mean he'll have to find another way up the floor while Mirna burses time for them.

    “already, how is Derec?” Ask Siska.

    “better” answer him “you're skilled also”

    “gini-gini, I follow PMR (Palang Merah) at school” said Siska.

    “now, while Mirna is stalling, we have to find another way to climb to the top” Derec said.

    “if not wrong there is another” said Siska “aga far sih”

    “no problem” says Derec “better there than on_”

    “hei Yuda” suddenly Andy patted the shoulder “can not you massage my back”

    “backs?” Yuda notices Andy, he looks tired “you're sick?”

    “not hurt, but my back feels sore and aga heavy so” he said.

    “aku also” Gilang one fate with Andy “sedari earlier, it feels like my back is heavy gini, even though I do not carry a backpack”

    The words of the two of them clearly made Yuda, Derec and Siska confused, never once had they been told to carry a heavy burden since the beginning of their arrival here, but why do they feel like a burden as if they have finished heavy work. Obviously this sounds strange and suspicious, this is a condition that cannot be, but from Gilang's words just now, he said earlier.

    Yuda thought back, back to the beginning they arrived here, the beginning got down from the car, the entrance to the mall, down the lower floor, first found a spot of blood, the first time, female corpse head under the escalator stairs, scars on the walls, the sound of laughter like a chew, matis figure first appeared wearing a white dress and face covered with hair like a mbah kunti, the moment when he held all the bullets with just telekinesis ability, then he showed off the face_. Oh Yuda felt himself stupid, all this time he just thought of dodging the attacks of telekinesi and forgetting the effects of the beautiful face of the matis. Matis was showing off her beautiful face not because without alesan, it was part of her ability, especially when the matis showed her beautiful face, only 2 people who saw Andy and Gilang.

    Derec saw Yuda “Yuda it looks like you already got the answer”

    “iya, rich time White Lady showed off her beautiful face to us, it was part of her attack” Yuda said.

    Gilang is surprised, so are Andy and Siska.

    “what do you mean?” Ask Andy.

    “Yuda, though, apparently what you think as I think” Derec said smiling because glad someone can draw a conclusion like him “in other words” Derec pointed Andy and Gilang “you both have kepelelan”[].
