Yovie, they called me..

Yovie, they're listening to me..

Yovie, they saw me..

Yovies...

[1 Day before ]

I'm a final year student at one of S City High School. It is currently the end of semester one. Together with my two best friends, Amel and Yovie, we decided to travel together to the East on the island of Java.

A small town, which is not very densely populated. We decided to stay in one of the three-star hotels.

At midnight, the three of us went quietly with a flashlight. We went to explore this city that we deliberately chose, because the purpose of our purpose was to look for an apparition.

East Java is famous for its mystique, or so the people say.

By renting an online motorcycle that we have previously booked, we headed to a place that is very old and very avoided by residents around. A house that used to belong to someone with a mental disorder.

Reportedly a few years ago, the owner of the house was found dead in one of the rooms without cause. The police gave up looking for a bright spot in the case.

We were in front of the house. The online object that drove us was shocked by the place we went. One of the drivers even looked to the point where there was no one there, and he looked very scared. After receiving the payment money, they immediately unplug and leave.

Me: "Yuk we're in. "

Yovie: "Each of them has a flashlight, right? "

Amel: "Here you are! "

Me: "Yaudah, yuk cus. "

We pushed the very old entrance slowly. The floor is filled with dust and dirt. The ceiling was filled with spider webs. Fortunately we brought a flashlight with us, otherwise our heads would have been full of the cobwebs.

The light of our flashlight only illuminates a part of the room. This house consists of two floors, from the outside we can see that the second floor is very unlikely for us to explore because the walls there have begun to collapse.

There are 3 rooms on this one floor, one leads to the stairs, one leads to the kitchen and toilet, and another leads to a medium-sized room.

The three of us decided to split up.

Yovie headed towards the kitchen.

Amel headed towards the stairs, he was still curious about the second floor.

And I'm headed into the room.

There was a bed and a large closet in the room. The moonlight that entered through the worn and torn curtains made this room look brighter.

Me: "Maybe I can get an apparition from inside that closet. "

I finally decided to open the big cupboard.

What I saw I couldn't believe, a secret passage that led to the basement floor!

Because I was so curious, I took a step forward.

Suddenly something grabbed my shoulder.

I jumped too, but my unequal footing made me fall into a secret passage in the closet. It rolled around incoherently until I felt my left shoulder hit something hard.

The flashlight I brought fell down while rolling earlier and died.

A terrible pain began to strike my shoulders.

" Lo crazy, Put?! "

I heard someone yelling at me. This voice, Yovie?

Me: "Yovie? That's you Yov? "

Yovie: "Who else?! "

Suddenly a dazzling flashlight illuminated Yovie's face from below, revealing her irritated face.

Me: "Lo times crazy Yov! Danger tau suddenly nongol like that! "

Holding my shoulder still in pain, I tried to sit down with Yovie's help.

Yovie: "We where is this Put? "

Me: "Basement is like. "

Yovie's flashlight is moving towards one red door.

Yovie: "Come in? "

Withstanding the intense pain, I only lifted one shoulder.

Yovie: " Come in yuk, I'm curious. "

Me : "What about Amel? "

Yovie: "Here you are, Amel is great. Also call later if why. "

I finally decided to follow Yovie from behind.

Yovie: "1st.. "

Me : "2.. "

Jovie: "3.. "

On the count of three, the red door opened and showed what side behind the door.

Amusement park.

An old-fashioned amusement park that is still functioning and very quiet without any customers or sellers, just lined up booths filled with food and swirling comedy that is still spinning.

Yovie took me tightly to the food booth, she picked up some layer cakes and devoured them, then turned to other market pastries and devoured them all.

Me: "Yov, don't eat a lot of Yov. We don't know what this place is. "

As if not listening to me, Yovie continued eating. He looked pale and looked blankly at what was in front of him.

After looking for the last time at Yovie, I walked towards the play comedy where the boy was.

He dressed like a colonial dress.

When we got closer, I greeted him.

Me: " Hello deck. Can you tell who this is with? "

The boy was still looking at me.

Me: "Do you know what this place is? "

I thought he would be quiet this time too, but he decided to respond to my question.

Colonial-dressed child: "You don't eat? "

Me: "Oh, no. I'm not hungry. "

Colonial dress kid: "Good. Then you want to play with me? "

Me : " Can. What are you going to play? "

The boy showed me a target shooting game. I just smiled, of course the boys liked something like that.

We both walked in tandem with my right hand holding her small left hand.

we stopped in front of the target, and the boy told me to turn towards the front.

I looked at what was in front of me.

Out of nowhere, suddenly in front of us were already lined up people lined up with their pistols.

One of the men in the front row had turned his gun on me. When I looked to the side to ask the child what this meant, all that remained of the child was his left hand which I still held.

My hair started to stand up.

And the sound of gunfire being released was speeding very fast towards me.

*splash*

Blood is pouring from my left eye.

The person in the front row shifted, and the person behind him prepared to fire his next shot.

Terror fills my head.

I saw Yovie from a distance, her body expanding like a balloon, still continuing to eat. Tears ran down her cheeks.

Me: "Yovie!! "

Screaming loudly, hoping that Yovie would come to her senses and stop eating and free us both from this place.but all that came out of my mouth was blood splashing out, falling on the grass I stepped on.

A few hours passed, they were still firing their pistols at me. My body that has been hollow here and there still stands upright.

On the other hand, I was still looking faintly at Yovie with her body getting swollen like it was about to explode.

" Live here with me, huh? "

The voice of the little boy was heard again by me.

He was standing in front of me, in the horde of people shooting at my body.

I really wanted to scream and wake up from this.

My mouth moved slowly, a hoarse voice came out from him.

Me : "Y.ya.."

No!!

That's not me!

That's not my voice!

That's not my will!!

My eyes shifted to the side to see Yovie, another piece of food coming into her mouth. Before long his body completely exploded like a balloon, scattering what was inside.

Hot tears appeared in the corner of my eyes after seeing it.

Another gunshot sounded.

And before long, everything looked dark to me.

The gunshots are still heard.

They called my name, praised me, and laughed.

Without even looking I knew they were looking at my blood-stained body.

The voice of the little boy was heard again..

" One time you say yes, you'll be tied to me forever. "

" Welcome to my world. "

The sound of applause began to fill my eardrums.

I want this to be over soon..

Yovies..

The next day, the bodies of Yovie and Princess were found intact in an old closet in a room, exactly where the previous owner died. Still the same as the previous case, both died without any known cause. The closet looks like an ordinary dresser.

Amel found the bodies of both of them and contacted the local police.

Behind the police line, behind the crowd of citizens, a smile spread across his face.

Amel, however,

creatures from another world,

and the creator of the alien room headed to another world behind the red door.
