The Mystery Red Umbrella
All Because of Barrow

"Anna!" nick calls Anna in the woods.

It's been five hours Anna hasn't come back, Nick's getting worried. Barrow was also invisible, it was already dark. It felt so regretful, he should have chased after Anna but now, he was worried Anna was lost in the forest.

Nick does not search alone, he has reported that Anna disappeared in the forest for five hours and has not returned but the dark and lush forest because it is overgrown with large trees complicates the search.

A helicopter flies overhead, shining through the forest in search of Anna. They had been tracing the place for two hours but there was no result. Nick is getting anxious, so he should have reported the actions of Barrow who was allied with the devil so that bad things didn't happen and he should have gone after Anna. He was really sorry he didn't do it.

Two sniffer dogs were deployed to search for Anna, the dog continued to sniff but the trail was among the tall bushes so that the police began to search the bushes.

The weather in the forest was not good, drizzling rain began to flutter and after that heavy rain was inevitable.

Inevitably, the search was stopped due to the impossible weather. Nick looked desperate. His whole body was soaked. He does not want to go back and wants to keep looking but he is prevented by some officers because if Nick is determined, it is he who will get lost in the forest.

Nick cursed, how should he say that to Anna's mother and aunt? Regretting it was already useless, he could only hope that tomorrow they could find Anna's whereabouts.

Inevitably Nick returns, he must inform Anna's mother no matter what happens as they must be very worried about Anna's condition not returning. He hoped Anna would be fine and not fall in the abyss because in the forest there was a deep abyss but unfortunately Anna was already in the abyss.

Anna regained her senses from her stupor as rain soaked her face. Anna grimaced, the whole body ached. She felt one hand break, Anna pulled her body even though she couldn't see anything.

The light from the lightning that struck, making him able to see around even if only for a moment. A huge tree was visible not far from before him as the lightning light struck.

Anna pulled her body towards the tree on the wet ground and passed through several puddles. His body was really sick, whether he could survive until tomorrow or not, he had no idea. The wound on the abdomen that had not fully healed was again painful, he really felt like his body was hit with a hard object dozens of times.

"Dam.. Shit!" that was all he could say while pulling his body towards the huge tree.

Again he was scorned by a figure that resembled Nick. But why that man, why? Why isn't Barrow looking for Barrow? Is there something he doesn't know so he's always been tricked into using Nick's figure for the third time?

No matter how long Anna pulled her body, she did not know that it must have been unusually tired and the pain all over her body that she felt.

Anna leaned against the big tree while breathing in, she was tired, very tired. One hand held the other hand that he thought was broken but in fact his arm joints shifted due to a fall. Anna bit her lip, with all her might pushing the joint of her shifting arm inward.

"Armghghhhh!!" his shout broke the silence of the night and his shout was followed by the thunderous sound of lightning.

The news of Anna's disappearance in the woods has been heard by her mother and aunt. To their surprise, Anna's mother could not help but hold back tears after getting the news.

"Why don't you prevent him from running into the forest?" yelled Anan's mother angry at Nick.

"I've prevented it, Aunty. But Anna didn't want to stop. All because of Barrow, he's a devil worshiper!" said Nick.

"What?" anna's mother and aunt are shocked to hear what Nick has to say. Barrow was a devil worshiper, really they did not want to believe but what if that was the case?

"I shouldn't have listened to Anna's request and reported it," Nick rubbed his face, he looked so regretful. "I should have called the police before the demon emblem was cleared but now, there is no more evidence that can ensnare him than the carcasses of the beast. The carcass will not prove anything, the proof of her being a demon worshiper has already been eliminated by Anna!" said again.

"What do you mean by this?" ask aunt Anna.

"Barrow is allied with the devil, Aunty. He claimed to be a pure descendant of Mariana who could not die. I don't know what it means I don't know!" nick said, he's really desperate.

"What?" anna's mother and aunt were shocked again, and they looked at each other. Barrow pure descendant Mariana? How could?

"Do you believe this?" ask Anna's mother to her sister.

"So, all the possibilities could have happened. If Barrow really is a pure descendant of Mariana means we've been deceived by her all along. It is possible that Barrow was Mariana's last descendant, so he tricked Anna into figuring out what Anna was going to do. Now he's starting to show himself because the full moon night is near but he's still trying to trick Anna into worrying because for Anna he's a partner who's been missing a lot of things with her."

"You're right, but what if Barrow was just used to make Anna think that Barrow was a pure descendant and Anna killed Barrow? I think Mariana's evil spirit not only wanted Anna's soul but she felt Anna was the biggest threat that could derail the night of her resurrection. If Anna kills Barrow and with his death, then we assume Mariana's pure descendant is dead so we need not worry about Mariana's resurrection but in fact, she said, his pure descendants are still alive so his resurrection cannot be stopped because we thought his pure descendants were dead."

"What you say is very true, brother. I can tell how much dizzy Anna is about this because she has to be able to tell which is actually good and which is actually evil!"

"Now how, Aunty. I'm afraid Anna fell into the abyss because the forest has many ravines!" said Nick.

Anna's mother and aunt look worried again, how will you? They don't know what to do either? The two of them were silent, only to hope that Anna was still alive and could survive and hope that tomorrow could be found. The brand also hopes that Anna can meet her guardian spirit while she is being pressed and talk to that spirit. That was all they could hope for because they could not possibly go to the forest to find Anna let alone the rain that fluttered with the heavy as well as the lightning that did not stop striking.

Anna was startled as the sound of lightning striking so loudly rang out. He was also struck by a tree struck by lightning and burned, not far from him. Anna was trying to gather strength, she started shivering in the cold.

The fire that burned the tree that had just been struck by lightning made Anna able to see around the tree. Anna was shocked as a white female figure walked out from the flames. Wh who? Is that the forest guard? Or is it a figure that resembles Nick who has been petting him. Suddenly Anna's body became stiff, she could not move even her tongue felt faint as the figure floated closer to her.
