The Psychopath Meets Indigo
Chapter 4 - Xiao's Nightmare

What is the most frightening?

Psychopath or 'The Devil'?

Hmmmm... Let's see Xiao's answer.

***

Seeing these monstrous creatures everywhere made Xiao waver and was terrified. He wrapped his body in a blanket. It was like a nightmare for him.

Xiao has been hospitalized for five days. His eyes look like panda eyes. His body looked lethargic with his blank look. Yenn and Hongli who saw the state of Xiao, were certainly very worried. They tried to calm Xiao down as much as possible. But their beloved son, instead, continued to try to expel their existence from his room.

Eventually Yenn and Hongli handed over the affairs of his son to the psychiatric doctor who was in the hospital. Wish the doctor could calm down the increasingly strange attitude of Xiao.

"Xiao, try eating this apple. Maybe it can make you calm a little. . ." said the doctor who is often greeted Arnold. He handed the apple pieces to Xiao. Slowly Xiao floated the piece of apple into his mouth.

"Xiao can I ask you a question?" doctor Arnold said slowly. Xiao stared at the man sitting in front of him.

"What's been bothering you lately, man?"

Instead of answering, Xiao pointed to an empty spot. Doctor Arnold and his parents were very confused, because they thought Xiao was hallucinating.

Xiao pointed at the monstrous creature standing beside his father and mother.

Doctor Arnold stood up and invited Xiao's parents to speak privately. While Xiao still looked trembling, his eyes were still filled with fear.

"Xiao!" whispered a female creature that suddenly came through the wall. The woman was all white, but her face was not at all scary.

"NO! Don't come near me!!!" squealed Xiao who was still unable to understand the things he saw with his eyes.

"You better run away from your parents, the 'devil' they have is very dangerous for you!!!" said the woman in white.

"What do you mean?" xiao's forehead formed a frown, he tried to bravely stare at the woman in white.

"Are they not psychopaths who are already at the level of endangering other humans?"

"But they say it was their job long ago!" Xiao tried to argue.

"That's not Xiao's job, it's a dangerous thing! for your soul and also your body! . . . Did you see the monstrous creatures that were following them? Would you compare that to the creatures on the street?"

Xiao stood up from his bed. He gazed out at the streets and noticed creatures that only one could see. That's exactly what the woman in white said. Creatures that follow their parents are more frightening than other creatures.

"But why are you trying to help me?"

The woman in white smiled and said, "I am Kenai's friend, my name is Veira. Oh yeah, actually he's not Kenai but Jonas! I follow him everywhere. Even I saw what you and your parents did to him. I'm actually really mad at you, but since Jonas passed on his talent to you, so I have to help you now!"

"Jonas? Ba-what talent?" asked Xiao stammering.

"Got to see supernatural beings! But you are different from other indigo children. Not only can you see the ghosts, the therapy is also 'devil' who stands whispering disturbing the humans!"

"So what happened under the bed was real?" xiao's eyes immediately puffed.

"So I have to go?"

"Yes! Soon the creature that follows your father and mother will move on to you, oh yes Xiao I can also hear the doctor talking to your parents. They'll take you to a mental hospital for treatment!"

"WHAT?!!!" Xiao gritted his teeth, as he was in disbelief at what the white-clothed woman said.

"There's no way my mom and dad would do that. Lookie! I'm not crazy!!!" continue Xiao again.

"That's what you think, but your parents don't! They've been so scared and confused by your strange attitude for the past few days!"

"No! I trust you and your mom more than you!" Xiao insisted, then immediately threw his body onto the bed. The woman in white went and said.

The sun suddenly pierced Xiao's face. There was also the sound of curtains pulling on the window. It was as if someone was trying to wake the teenager with the help of the solar light. Xiao's hand covered his face, and he immediately woke up from his sleep.

He opened his eyes, and in front of him he had seen the mother standing neatly dressed. Xiao scrunched his forehead.

"Where are you going?" asked Xiao curiously.

"There is good news today Xiao, you can already go home!" yenn's face looked excited.

"Be-be-really?" xiao's response was with an unconvinced feeling. He also remembered Viera's words to him last night. Now he began to be suspicious of Yenn's behavior.

"Let's get ready, Xiao!" yenn said casually. The monstrous creatures that followed him were also still always beside the woman. Although the creature's face was terrifying, Xiao was getting used to it. Because that 'devil' didn't try to hurt him.

Xiao followed his mother's orders to get ready. He wore his plaid shirt which was fitted with his favorite navy jeans.

When it was ready, Hongli and Doctor Arnold suddenly came over. Xiao's feelings began to grow suspicious. 'Why is Doctor Arnold coming too?' xiao thought wondering.

"A ready? let's have a beaver. . . Oh I mean go home!" hongli said with a look on his face that seemed to say something wrong.

***

The four of them got into a car together.

"Well! why is Dr. Arnold coming?" Xiao tried to be sure.

"He wants to take you to Xiao, just in case!" soft Yenn sahut.

"Jagain what? I'm not crazy!" Xiao showed his pouting face.

"Don't tell me you want to take me to a mental institution?" xiao said with a question to ask him. His eyes stared one by one the three humans in the car. Everyone in the car was silent. They just stared at each other bitterly. It was as if their plan had already been caught off guard by Xiao.

"IS THAT TRUE?!!!" Xiao screamed loudly. His breathing began to rise and fall He felt betrayed by his parents.

"No Xiao! We're going home!" sahut Hongli who tried to calm his only son was the puppet

"LIED!!!" Xiao again screeched. Suddenly he opened the car door, and immediately pushed the mother out by force from the car. Yenn fell onto the asphalt and rolled over. Hongli who was driving at the time was very surprised by the behavior of the child.

He stopped the car immediately, in order to help Yenn. Hongli and Doctor Arnold get out of the car to confirm Yenn's condition. Xiao who saw it, used the opportunity to take over the steering wheel. He immediately took the car away from his parents.
