THE NIGHTMARE'S
5. ALONE

After the two upperclassmen left, Rega turned to the right side, precisely in the direction of Azure. Azure was still lying there staring at the UKS ceiling painted in bone white. Maybe he was thinking about something, because that was how it looked on his face.

"Az, mending we don't have to be victorious from now on." Rega did not want to waste time to start the conversation with the words he had wanted to say since. "Lu will continue to shit if it's near the cave."

Azure was annoyed by Rega's words, making him turn his head quickly, revealing both light blue beads that shot out a sharp look at Rega. "Gua won't forgive you!"

"I mean you?" Rega frowned, not understanding why Azure said it would not forgive him.

"Lu thought that was messing around?! It's like you said we don't have to wait anymore!"

"Well, the cave just doesn't want you to get in trouble!"

"Lu think, kayak gini problem will make the cave afraid?! The cave's not a coward, Reg! Gua won't be afraid of their kayak upperclassmen every day!"

"Gua knows you're not a coward, but a scared cave! The cowardly cave! Gua is afraid you'll get in trouble if you're the same cave! The cave is fed up with its own cave, the cave does not want to make other people get into trouble because of the cave again! That's why you don't have to be stubborn, Az!"

"Lu know what it's like to have no friends, right?! Do you know what it feels like to be alone? How's it feel? Tastier? No, right?! You want to be alone again?! You want to be alone?! If the cave is not! The cave does not want to be alone and lose its name as a friend, because the friend is valuable, Reg. The cave is willing to have many enemies, but the cave does not want to lose a single friend. The cave is the same as the enemy, but the cave is not used to having many friends."

Rega fell silent. As if running out of vocabulary in his head, he no longer knew what to say. Azure really insisted on being friends with him, to the point of making him wonder and wonder about what the reason was.

"Lu don't be afraid, Reg. Gua sure, we will be able to hold all the problems together, which is important you remain a friend of the cave. As long as you're a friend of the cave, your problems are also cave problems. You don't have to feel bad if the cave gets involved in your kayak problem today, because it's a cave problem too."

"Why? Why do you want to go to the cave, Az? Why do you look so hard? What do you see from the cave? The cave is not a famous child kayak lu, the cave is not the son of a prominent person or conglomerate kayak lu, the cave is not very tajir-tajir, the cave is also not very clever-intelligent, not very good. So, what's the reason that makes you kekeh want to cement the same cave?"

"Emang menenan need a reason, huh?"

"Huh?"

"Gua often does not need a special reason for cementan, the cave will immediately become a friend of people who according to the cave is suitable to be a friend and there are no special criteria let alone keep it. Maybe the cave's interested in your mutual friend, just because we're kind." Azure smiled obliquely.

"Anything? Mean you?"

"That kind of cave is because we are one frequency, like two living things that both have ultrasonic frequencies, it's called the same in terms of sound frequencies, right? Well, we both like anime, so you can understand the cave world and vice versa, while other people who do not like anime obviously can not connect with us if we talk about anime. Don't think weird!"

"But! Who thinks strange? The cave just failed to understand!"

Azure laughed off seeing Rega pursed her lips like a child who was upset, not caring about his friend who felt increasingly upset by being laughed at.

"Not funny! Don't ngakak!"

"Yes-yes, gomen!" Azure stopped the laughter while wiping away the few tears at the end of her eyes.

At recess, Azure and Rega fighting with the upperclassmen have been a hot conversation almost all over the corner of the school. Azure who is a new student with a popular category, of course, makes any flashy news about him will immediately become a byword. In the cafeteria, almost every child talks about it. Many responses range from the positive to the most negative.

"Eh, how's Azure doing now?" One of the students who sat at the same time with the four other students, suddenly felt curious about the current state of Azure.

"It seems better, but do not know, because he has not come out of the UKS after the cave. Earlier, the UKS manager brought food for him the same .. Who was the name of the other child?"

"Rome."

"Well, yes it is."

"Curried, huh? Azure passed out."

"Worse, of course, people get hit with baseball bats. Tau own baseball bat material what, continue to imagine that it will hurt as much as if hit with it until fainting. "

"Eee .. Is Azure really okay?" One of the schoolgirls who had short hair asked in a slightly awkward manner. 

"Nothing like, the person he did not get taken to the hospital with the school."

"That, huh?"

"Yes. BTW, the cave wants to be just like you, Ell."

"What's it, Na?" The short-haired student, Ella, was immediately prepared to receive a question from Nana, one of her new friends at school.

"Lu why don't you ever tell me about your boyfriend, anyway?"

"Yes, here. Don't you don't have a boyfriend, do you?" His other friend quickly chimed in.

"Gu–gua doesn't have a boyfriend." Ella seemed hesitant to say it, tucked into a speck of fear as well.

"What?! Seriously?"

"Day you don't have a boyfriend?!"

"Among the five of us, you're single, Ell!"

"Lu's too ordinary, anyway. I'm using simple make up, not fashionable, so no guy wants to!"

"Yes, how else? No one likes caves, right?" Ella put her fingers together, a sign that she was nervous.

"Take a look, Ella!"

"Yes, incar guy, keep making him interested in you that way!"

"I–iya, huh. Cave try arent." Ella looked down inside. She has been lying, as she actually has no desire to try dating any time soon. He still wants to focus on school, after all he is not sure if anyone will want to be his girlfriend.

"Well, dong! When we are single?"

Is it wrong that the cave is single? The dating is not important, but ... if the cave remains single, it could be Nana, Silvi, Merria, just as Vhiri does not want to cement the same cave again. The cave does not want them to leave the cave, the cave does not want to be alone. Alone is not good, alone it makes the cave feel that the presence of a cave is nothing to this world, the cave really does not want to be alone, the cave wants to get friends!

"I–iya?" Ella surprised. "Ke–why, Sil?"

"Lu why daydream, anyway? Think about looking for a guy where, huh?"

"Huh? I–iya."

"Hmm .. let you do not have to worry, the cave gives advice as well as a challenge to you, deh. How's it?"

"Same advice challenge?"

"Yes, what if the cave gives you advice and challenges you to make an Azure girlfriend?"

"Huh?! Azure?!"

"Don't hah-hoh mulu, Ell! Wh why? You mind?"

"Eee .. ng–no." Ella shook her head quickly, afraid that her friend would be disappointed if she answered honestly. Dead cave! Where can the cave be Azure girlfriend? Famous guy like him where to go to the cave?

"It's good that you don't mind. Gua thought you'd object, even though the challenge is really easy." Nana then drank the iced tea until half finished.

"Eh, Guys. Did you see the news yesterday? About the two people who died from blood loss?" Merria's face turned serious in an instant. 

"Cave a look, Mer. That's the case ... It has something to do with vampires, right?" Vhiri was a bit scared when he mentioned the word 'vampire'.

"Hus! Don't call it kayak, Vhir! You want that thing to suddenly come?!" Silvi also seemed to be afraid, to the extent that he did not want to mention the name of the creature that was a predator for humans.

"So–sorry, Sil."

"They both died it was his own fault! Who told you to date in a quiet place and quite hidden during the night? So the Vampire Hunters didn't know they were being attacked, did they?" Nana looks furious. "Udah know Indonesia is not safe now, still craving lust! Fuck up!"

"Yes too, anyway. It's their fault to go out at night just for the sake of meeting, in a deserted place."

"If the mah cave does not dare to go out the night from before, it is always forbidden to be equally papa-mama, for the safety of life. If only noon could be free to go anywhere."

"Sama, the cave also if not very urgent, will not want to go out at night. Fortunately, the girlfriend of the understanding cave, so if you want to walk, ngajaknya just after noon."

"Who is not afraid of 'them'? They are human-like, but not human, but they are human predators. If the predator is similar to the prey, so it is difficult to make a difference in order to be careful. Moreover, their abilities are far above humans and there are also some sadistic ways to kill them."

"Rubber, it's terrible to see them. Now wherever the place is not safe, but .. cave curious, emang from the past Indonesia kayak gini, yes? Did they have a lot of predators like them roaming around?"

"No, said the cave bokap, Indonesia was not this famous."

"If the word cave bokap, fitting A-VA was formed 20 years ago, vampires in Indonesia are still not this much, really. They have been around for a long time, long before A-VA was formed, but have only ever been seen once or twice, like ghosts that appear not every day can be seen by people. Initially, it became like a gini tuh about 16 or if not 15 years ago as remembered by the cave. Since then many vampires have appeared, every day they appear, like the shadow of death that is always around humans."

"So, what's the cause, huh?"

"No idea, listen has been investigated the same A-VA, but there are no definite results that can be published to the community."

"Oh, that's it."

"Ell, why are you quiet?"

"Ha–hah?" Ella flutter.

"What a habit, huh-hoh! Gua asks, why are you quiet?"

"Gu–gua .. is okay."

"Ih, you freak!"

Here is a little general information about A-VA, a vampire exterminator organization that stands in Indonesia.

A-VA stands for Anti-Vampire Alliance, or can also be called Anti-Vampire Alliance in Indonesian, is a large organization in Indonesia that was built around 20 years ago. There were still a few vampires that appeared in Indonesia that year and A-VA was also not as big as it is now.

A-VA has the main purpose of protecting mankind from vampires that began to run rampant in Indonesia after the sound of their emergence in several regions of Europe. Initially, A-VA was just an organization formed by some vampire hunters who had great concern for the threat of vampires to humans. They are the brave who do not want to give up to finally fall prey to the vampires. Determined to fight for the lives of humanity, they muster up the courage to confront the ruthless predators that threaten their lives.

A-VA members used to only contain adult men. However, now anyone could apply to become an A-VA member, on the basic condition of being able to pass the academy and the exams given, he also has the determination and courage to protect humans from vampires. A-VA is supported and funded directly by the government, as well as conglomerates who have a desire to support the alliance.

Information about the position in A-VA starting from the highest and current position holders, plus a little explanation of the duties of officeholders and alliances are as follows.

A-VA President, is the highest-ranking leader in A-VA throughout Indonesia. His leadership is above the leadership of the alliance commanders of all A-VA branches. This position is occupied by Grissham Jen Christopher since the change of the higher-up structure and the change of all higher-ups in 2010.

A-VA Co President, a representative of A-VA President in charge of assisting or replacing A-VA President duties if needed. This position was occupied by Ali Adamson.

Secret Guardians Alliance Commander or SGA Commander, commander of the Secret Guardians alliance, an alliance tasked with guarding a place or person from vampire attacks.

The team's main task is to treat patients in A-VA hospitals and also conduct vampire-related research, such as physical abilities and weaknesses.
