The Mystery Red Umbrella
I Trust You

Barrow was making food when Anna came back. Out of nowhere, Anna did not say where she had actually gone. Every time Barrow asked, Anna said she went to pick things up at her grandmother's house. Barrow was not suspicious because Anna always brought things back.

Anna went straight into the room, a circle was on the calendar. It was the date on which the moon would be full and on which Mariana would rise and the time was near. Everything he wanted he had already got, Anna was also ready to face that day to stop the rise of Mariana.

After storing the items he had brought, Anna walked out of the room. The delicious aroma of the food smelled, Anna rushed towards the kitchen to help Barrow. They had already reported to the superiors when they returned so that the captain would know how the case was progressing but they had not said what would happen later on the night of the full moon before them know the situation.

"Are you done, Barrow?" ask Anna.

"Ck, you always go alone. Where have you been?" ask Barrow.

"I told you, I'm picking things up at my grandmother's house!"

"What if Nick sees you and follows you, isn't that dangerous? You could have been killed so easily!"

"I know, Barrow. But no need to worry, he needs me as a collision later."

"What's? Why do you have to be a victim too, Anna?" Barrow turned, looking at him with a look of disbelief.

"Believe it or not, Mariana has wanted me since I was a baby and she even killed my twin for misrecognizing both of us."

"Wow, so he's been wanting you for a long time?"

"Yeah, how? Are you still interested in a woman who can see this spirit?" Anna Goda.

"Of course, I already have some sense. While we're doing that, I'll prepare blindfolds to cover your eyes!" said Barrow.

"Sucks, I don't. Do you know what, Barrow? The five spirits and the old grandmother's spirit like you. After I release them, I'll invite them to join us and play with us!" goda Anna again.

"What's? Are you serious?"

"Yes, Barrow. That's why you have to prepare a lot of powerful medicine!" Anna blinked one eye, then took the finished food and led it towards the table.

Barrow was still looking at him with a look of disbelief then his eyes looked down, would his precious junior be fine when those spirits joined in? Ck, stupid thoughts. Can they still be invited to do that?

"Anna, don't joke. I don't want them to join us!" said Barrow.

Anna chuckled, Barrow really took her words seriously when she was just joking. But he misses moments like that, it's been a long time since they've been joking. Whether what would happen to them later, he also did not know because they could have lost the fight with Mariana and her allies and they could have won. Those are the only two possibilities that will happen later.

"What are we gonna do next, Anna?" asked Barrow who was already sitting next to him.

"What do you mean?" anna asked not to understand.

"Now the night of the full moon, what will we do to face them? we don't even know where the resurrection is going to take place, nor can we move around carelessly because your mother and aunt are in the grasp of their hands."

"I told you, no need to worry. Mariana needs me, she will definitely send a subordinate to lure me away to her place so for now, we just enjoy our time while getting ready to fight them," suddenly Anna remembered the cursed umbrella that shackled Natalie's soul, what should she do to the umbrella? It seemed like he had to ask his guardian spirit after this.

"It's still something we have to bring, Barrow. I'm sure Mariana's followers are not few, Mariana's followers will surely gather to welcome the resurrection of their idol."

"So we're going to shoot them like we're hunting a partridge? Then we have to bring automatic weapons and then finish them all off!" Barrow looks so excited, assume he's playing a game.

"Don't you, you crazy son of a bitch. We have to move carefully and once we know what the situation is we have then we call some troops to come. That is even if the situation is not possible where we can not handle both but what I want is an elite army that has been trained to scout . We must not make a fuss so caught because it could be, Mariana attacked us using the spirits who became his men."

"If that's the case, we'll have to work out a plan, won't we?"

"Yeah, we should do that."

"But where is the place, Anna? We can't come up with a plan if we don't know the location," Barrow looked at Anna closely, and he thought they should know first where the Mariana revival would be. Is it in the old house, in the castle or in the woods? They have to figure this out first.

"I'm gonna figure this out, Barrow. But I think someone will lead us, so do as I say."

"alright, fine. Women are more powerful!" said Barrow.

"Just do it!" Anna moved on, it was time to figure out what she should do to that cursed umbrella. If he can free Natalie right now, maybe he can get Natalie to ally with him so they can thwart Mariana's rise together.

"Where are you going?" ask Barrow.

"Sleep, thank you for the food" Anna replied.

"What's? Isn't there a little time for us to make out?"

"No one, Barrow. If you want I'll ask the others to have fun with you!"

"Ck, fuck. What kind of story is this? Not even a bit of fun!" barrow Protest.

Anna waved and stepped towards the room. The bedroom door was locked so that Barrow could not simply enter while he was communicating with his guardian spirit. The umbrella that sealed Natalie's soul was removed and placed on the bed, Anna sat down before the umbrella and called out her guardian spirit.

"Are you here?" ask Anna.

"Sure, why are you calling me?" there was the sound of his protective spirit but his figure was nowhere to be seen.

"What should I do with this umbrella? Do I have to burn to free Natalie's soul?"

"It's not that easy, Anna. Go to the forest where Natalie was killed and buried, perform a ritual over her grave to release the chains that shackled her soul."

"The "ritual? What am I supposed to do?"

"Later in the night, go to the woods. At exactly twelve o'clock in the evening, perform the ritual. I'll lead you and say whatever you need and whatever you have to do!" said his guardian spirit.

"Okay, I believe you!" Anna took the umbrella, hopefully after she freed the shackles that bound Natalie's soul, she could work with him. After saving the umbrella, Anna exits the room to talk to Barrow because she needs Barrow's help to perform a ritual in which she will free Natalie's soul.
