The Mystery Red Umbrella
The Devil's Power Deception

The atmosphere of the party was getting lively, they started to lulled especially Barrow. A figure that resembled his sister was already in his arms at that time. Barrow even wept over their unexpected encounter, he forgot about the situation he was in and where he was.

He was like hypnotized, he even forgot that the figure of Jenie who was in his arms had died a few years ago.

Anna was like a dazed person, she could not believe what was going on let alone Nick suddenly being there. He tried to digest what happened but the sound of piano music made his mind chaotic so that whenever he wanted to find answers to what they were going through, he could not think clearly.

The music made them even more hypnotized so that they could no longer think clearly and were immersed in the world of illusion and were immersed in what they were seeing right now because it was still an old castle the dark and those who are with them today are just illusions that trap them though not the whole is an illusion.

The two of them were not even aware of what was going on with them let alone like there was a barrier separating them in other words, Barrow could not see Anna with the figure he saw nor with Anna. He also could not see if Barrow was with his dead sister.

"What's the max of this, Nick?" anna asked Nick who was standing in front of her. Nick looks dashing and handsome dressed up as a prince of a kingdom in a fairy tale even so, Anna is unaware of it at all.

"It's a party, Anna," Nick grabs Anna's body and pulls her closer, "I'm preparing this party to welcome you, '" Nick said.

"really?" anna did not believe it.

"Of course," in one flick of a finger, it was sudden that the clothes worn by Anna changed. A party dress she was already wearing back then, Anna was shocked and looked astonished. He even stepped into a mirror to see her performance and Nick followed her from behind.

"How do you like that dress, don't you, Anna?" Nick stood behind Anna and hugged her.

"Very," Anna replied with a smile but one thing she did not realize was, out of all the people in the room none of them had a reflection of themselves in the mirror except her.

"Dance with me, Anna. Tonight I want you to be mine."

Anna did not reply, she was completely hypnotized. Nick held one hand, the other on Anna's waist. The sound of music changed, the dance began. Anna and Nick were in the middle of the dance floor, as if they were the stars tonight.

Anna smiled, she was also lulled. Nick looked so charming that night but he did not know if the one who was dancing with him at that time was a terrible figure with a face that had been destroyed even the skull of his face was visible from the right temple towards his chin. His teeth and nose were even visible and half of his face was melted.

Anna enjoys the music with a figure that resembles Nick, he gets lulled deeper even she starts to feel if she is in the room with Nick and will make love to him.

Not only was he lulled, Barrow was also lulled with the figure of Jenie. They had already left the party room, the figure that resembled his sweet sister was the spirit figure of a girl with a scary face of course with her ancient dress.

Anna and Barrow were completely fooled by the old castle's inhabitants, they didn't even remember the whereabouts of their comrades.

"Sister, come here!" screamed a spirit that resembled Jenie.

"Wait, Jenie. Don't run!" barrow shouted while chasing after Jenie who ran up the spiral-shaped staircase.

"Quick, Brother Barrow sucks!" scream Jenie.

"Don't run away like that, Jenie. It's dangerous!" yelled Barrow anyway.

"Quick, Brother Barrow. You have to find my whereabouts!"

"Wait, Jenie!!" so many rooms above made Barrow confused let alone the sound of laughter and Jenie's screams echoed throughout the room.

"Jenie, don't hide!" shouted Barrow, he began to enter a room that looked so neat with luxurious furniture but in fact the room was messy and dusty. Barrow even thought the closet he was opening right now was a nice closet yet it was a worn-out closet.

"Jenie, where are you?" Barrow searches for his sister from one closet to another.

"I'm here!" jenie shouted while running out, her laughter was heard again.

Barrow smiled, he came out of the room to look for his sister.

Jenie ran back into the other room, laughing as she called. Barrow is still following where his sister is hiding. He did not realize that he was being led to the top floor of the castle. The spiral-shaped stairs back up, Jenie was seen floating in the middle of a room while waving but Barrow did not notice it at all.

"Come here, Brother Barrow. Come catch me," he said. His hands were endlessly waving, Barrow stepped closer to him but Jenie's body floated backwards.

"Don't run, Jenie!" barrow's steps forward, Jenie continued to drift backwards. He would lead Barrow into the middle of the building where the middle was empty and if Barrow stepped wrong then he would plunge free to the ground floor.

Jenie's body had already flown past the barrier that resembled a fence that was a barrier so that no one would fall from there. As Barrow's feet moved forward, he was completely hypnotized by the wave of his sister's hand.

"Come here, Brother Barrow," said Jenie again.

Barrow came closer, his eyes blank. His steps were even close to the barrier, he would climb the barrier to catch his sister's body floating in the middle and if he did then he would fall and die.

Down there, Anna is still dancing. Both of Anna's eyes were closed, she was lulled by what she was doing. She was dancing in the middle of an empty room alone but somehow she felt like she was with Nick in the room and making out with him.

The expression shown by her shows that she enjoys the touch Nick gives her. He really didn't know, a scary ghost had made him that way.

"Wake up, Anna," someone whispered in her ear but Anna was still lulled by the intoxicating hypnotist.

"Be quick to realize, you are being tricked by the castle dwellers," the voice again sounded.

Anna frowned, her consciousness was about to return but the sound of music being heard again made her lulled.

"Anna, your best friend will die if you're not sober!" not a whisper anymore but the sound of screaming that was heard so that Anna was fully aware of the deceit of the devil. Anna was surprised she looked dazed, Anna looked around that there was no one.

"Barrow?" Anna is looking for an invisible Barrow along with her.

"Barrow?" Anna screams again but Barrow doesn't hear her scream because all he hears is piano music and at that time, Barrow is climbing the guardrail so he can catch her body.
