The Mystery Red Umbrella
The Amulet that was Destroyed

Anna is preparing the equipment that will be brought later. The night of the full moon, in which Mariana will rise eternally, is just counting the hours. Before leaving, he had to prepare some of the equipment he needed.

Some pistols were already on the table, the bullet casings were ready. Barrow was modifying an automatic weapon, he changed the bullet from hot lead to an anesthetic that they would use to shoot Mariana's followers.

They've been informed by Natalie that a Mariana revival event will be held in the old castle. The place was chosen because of the many followers of Mariana. The old house in the forest could not accommodate all his followers.

Anna and Barrow are so serious about preparing for everything they need. Not even Anna's Knife Artsbon forgot, she still didn't tell anyone about it. After getting ready they had to go to the office as they had to meet with the elite forces that would help them later.

That morning, not only Anna and Barrow were busy. Maria Devan was very busy because her husband and son suddenly took her away which was definitely just the mischief of Nick and his father to bring Maria and Lucia.

They were not suspicious at all let alone Lucia. The girl was very happy when the older sister went into her room and gave her a beautiful dress. Surely the dress she had to wear when the ritual arrived.

"A very beautiful dress, sister," said Lucia with a radiant face.

"You like it?" ask Nick.

"Of course, big brother's taste is really good."

"I'm so happy to hear that, put on that dress now" Nick said.

"Now?" ask Lucia wonder.

"Yeah.. Don't you want to go?"

"Well, what's going on? Do you want to propose to Anna's sister?" guess Lucia.

"Yeah, I was going to propose to her" Nick lied. It's a pity, Anna has to be a collision but she will try to negotiate later with Anna because she really likes Anna. If Anna baker wants to ally with them and become his life companion then she will ask her mother to free Anna and subvert the other girl. Surely Mariana did not know that, she did not know if her son liked Anna Baker.

"What about Anna, I haven't seen her since that day" Lucia said.

"No need to worry, you will meet soon" replied Nick.

"really?" Lucia looks so happy. She had not seen Anna for a long time, she had even missed Anna.

"Yeah, go try on that dress. When we get back, we'll find Anna a dress. We're going to go see her today to give her the dress, of course, without Daddy's knowledge" Nick lied, but indeed, tonight they're going to meet Anna.

"Well, I'm already impatient," Lucia was completely unsuspecting at all with the attitude of the man she thought was her brother.

"Of course, Lucia. Hurry up so we can meet Anna soon."

Nick searched inside the drawer, but the amulet wasn't there. There is nothing under the pillow. Some places he was looking but none. It looks like the talisman was brought by Lucia. To get Lucia out of the room, Nick comes out in a hurry to trick Lucia. She waited on the other side of the room to monitor and sure enough, Lucia came out with the beautiful dress she was wearing.

"Sister?" Lucia was looking for her brother because she wanted to show him the dress.

Nick is nowhere, Nick accidentally doesn't answer when he knows Lucia called him. Lucia stepped away, it was possible that her brother had returned to his room. That's a good opportunity for Nick. The man stepped back into Lucia's room and entered in a hurry. The bathroom was the goal, the clothes that Lucia had just released were taken. Nick started looking for the amulet in the shirt. Not finding it the talisman did not make Nick give up, the shorts worn by Lucia were also checked and sure enough, the talisman was in the pants pocket.

Not wanting to make time, Nick took the talisman but his hand felt hot as if it was burning as he touched the talisman. Nick cursed, a small towel he took so he could bring the talisman out.

The unsuspecting Lucia was still looking for her brother at all, she also shouted calling her brother.

"Sister, I'm done!" shout Lucia.

"Oh, then we can go," suddenly Nick comes out of his room. Lucia was so astonished, how could her brother possibly be in the room? She had just been looking for her brother inside there a moment ago but there was none. Then, how could her brother possibly be inside?

"Why look at me like that?" ask Nick to pretend.

"How can you be in the room? I just came from inside but sister wasn't there" said Lucia.

"I've been in my room ever since, you're the only one who hasn't seen!"

"All right, how?" Lucia twisted her body so that her brother could see the whole dress she was wearing.

"Good, I thought it would suit you!"

"Sister's taste is really good" praised Lucia again.

Nick smiled, the fake smile he always showed the family. Lucia is really happy to get a gift of a dress from her brother but the man is not her brother and she will find out the truth in a moment.

"Nick, Lucia, are you ready?" the sound of her mother's screams.

"Already, Mom. See that dress I'm wearing??" Lucia went to look for her mother to show her the dress she was wearing right now.

Nick goes into the room after Lucia leaves, the door is locked tightly so no one can get inside. The towel he used to carry the talisman opened, the talisman he picked up was still inside the towel. Nick takes him to the balcony of the room and without anyone knowing, Nick burns the amulet.

Now that there was nothing to protect Lucia, any spirit could already approach her. The amulet must indeed be destroyed so that his mother's men can get close to Lucia and take care of her.

Nick saw the clock, just a few hours away. It felt impatient, according to the plan he would contact Anna and lure her to come to the castle certainly with the threat of the lives of his mother and aunt who became hostages. She believes Anna must have come and indeed, without her inviting her, Anna must have come to stop Mariana's awakening and at that time, Nick would have made her an offer if Anna still loved her mother and aunt.
