The Mystery Red Umbrella
Fake Family

Lucia was surprised to find that so conscious, she found herself tied to a pole. Not only that surprised him, he also had to be surprised by the group of people standing before him. The group of people were wearing black robes. All closed from top to bottom, only both eyes are visible and both hands.

The ritual was held behind the castle, where a pentagram of star emblems with circles was already on the ground. A candle is also lit around the pentagram.An altar with a cursed box on it, Mariana stands before the altar, in front of all the followers who praise and glorify her.

Mariana smiled as Lucia came to her senses, she looked up for a moment to see the moon that was soon overhead. Waiting for a moment, the world was within his grasp. Lucia was still screaming in fear, because her screams also made her mother realize. Her mother was not much different, Maria Devan also shouted to see a group of people wearing all-black robes in front of her.

What the hell's going on? Are they not traveling? His head hurt, he remembered even faintly. As they left, he felt very sleepy and fell asleep. He didn't know anything after that.

"Mommy!" lucia's cry rang out, Maria Devan looked at her daughter and was surprised to find her daughter remembered at a stake.

"Lucia, what happened to you? Why are you tied up there?" shouted mother.

"I don't know, Mom. Where are Daddy and Brother?"

"Stop yelling, Lucia!" said his father who stepped closer to his daughter.

"Daddy, what's going on? Please let me go, I'm afraid," Lucia pleaded.

"Dispel you? Tonight you have to sacrifice for us, Lucia!" his father said without hesitation.

"What do you mean?" ask Mary about her husband.

"Didn't you understand? All the riches I have I got from Lady Mariana and I promised to offer my daughter's soul to her for her resurrection."

"What?" Mary tried to digest because she did not understand what her husband said.

"Is Daddy allied with the devil?" ask Lucia.

"really. I used to be poor, always got humiliation from everyone. I made a pact with the devil to obtain wealth and I promised to give you a daughter who was born later. If I don't have money, do you think your mother would marry me?"

"You're crazy, Galen. You're totally nuts!" shouted Maria. She really did not expect her husband to ally with the devil to gain wealth and what made her not believe was that her husband was so willing to subvert their daughter.

"Shut up!" Galen stepped closer to his wife and raised his wife's chin, "You never feel insulted by people. You've never been rejected even by your own family, so you don't know what it's like!" he said as he pushed his wife's chin violently.

"But why did you have to sacrifice Lucia, why sacrifice your own daughter?" Mary wept bitterly, the covenant with the devil was terrible.

"That's the requirement so I have to comply with it. Coincidentally Lucia was born as our first child, once she's grounded I'll get richer and I'll have another child with another woman!"

"You really are waji*ngan! What do you mean Lucia as the first child, did you forget Nick?"

Galen laughed out loud, his wife had really been deceived and still considered Nick as her son. Maria was very surprised but she finally realized something. Has she ever given birth to a son? Why doesn't he remember at all? Don't tell me Nick isn't his son and he is.

"Is Nick not my son? Have you tricked me into thinking Nick is my son?" mary asked with tears.

"He's not your son, Nick is a pure descendant of Lady Mariana."

"Whatever you say, I don't care. Once Lucia becomes a victim, you'll be the next one to die!" Galen stepped away, he would join the other followers.

Maria screams in anger while crying, while Lucia begs her father to let her go. Lucia also pleads with the newly joined Nick and stands by his mother's side.

"Sister, tell me this is just a joke and get me out of here!" pinta Lucia while shouting.

"Stop, Lucia.he's not your sister, '" her mother cried.

"No, it's impossible!" lucia shouted because she couldn't believe it yet.

"Sister, please let me go!" shouted again.

"I'm not your sister, Lucia. We've never had a blood tie before!" said Nick.

"Liar, you guys must have done this to scare me, right? You're my brother, it's a party, right? You said you wanted to propose to Anna's sister, did you do this on purpose before you proposed to Anna's sister?" he hoped it was all a hoax to scare him and his mother but unfortunately it wasn't a joke.

"Stop, Lucia. Stop that!" pinta's mother because she couldn't bear her begging daughter. There is no point in begging those who are already closed in heart because for those who are in their hearts there is only wealth.

Lucia cried loudly and shouted loudly as well. He really did not expect the family that was always with him turned out to be fake. The father who had planned to subvert him, the brother whom he loved so much was not his brother. His cries broke the silence in that place, his screams were heard by Anna and Barrow who were ambushing from outside.

Another bump that would replace Anna was realized, she was terrified to see what was in front of her eyes. The spirit of the red umbrella was still pretending to be helpless as it was not yet the time to act. He will wait for the right time, because the opportunity is not much.

"Time's almost here, Nick. Just get ready, we'll be doing the ritual in a minute!" mariana. He hoped Anna Baker wouldn't show up at the right time and screw things up.

"Ten minutes to go, we have to get started!" said Nick.

"My followers, the time of my resurrection is about to begin!" shouting Mariana.

"Life, Mariana. Viva Mariana!" shouted all his followers.

Lucia cried sobbing as did her mother. Natalie is ready for the action, she will attack Mariana for the ritual to fail but she waits for Anna because they have agreed to attack together. He will attack Mariana so that Mariana's attention is distracted and at that time, Anna will destroy the cursed box. The forces that are with Anna will take down Mariana and Barrow's followers will confront Nick. It was a plan they had put together to thwart Mariana.

Anna and Barrow were close, thinking the ritual was being held down but it turned out that the sound was coming from the back of the castle. The sound of Mariana worshippers cheering was heard, a knife and a skull-shaped cup were delivered by someone and placed on the table.

The knife and cup will be used later to stab Lucia's heart and the cup will be useful for taking Lucia's blood and after that, lucia's blood will be poured over the box where all the spirits that have been collected are there. Natalie's soul will be combined together in the box and the remaining collision will be cut off immediately. Therefore there was already an executioner who would behead coinciding with Lucia's heart being pierced.

"Long live Mariana, Live Mariana!" the cheers of his followers but their cheers were stopped when a gun eruption sounded.

They all turned towards the two people who stepped forward while pointing a gun but Barrow was ready with his automatic weapon.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, all of you are under arrest and your lord who is there, is sought by the king of hell!" said Anna.

Lucia yelled out in delight, while Anna looked around to look for her mother and aunt. Why don't they exist? They don't exist because Nick will make an exchange with Anna if he wants his mother and aunt alive.
