Chapter 11: CHAPTER 11: Back To The City

The girl was astounded when Harvey said that she was his girlfriend. She lowered her eyes and said quietly, "I am sorry." The woman walked away without saying goodbye. Harvey uttered, "Where are you going?". On the other hand, Zion was laughing and mumbled, "Haha, stupid."

Harvey was embarrassed when the woman has gone away. He had no other choice so he completely ignored Zion who was following him wherever he went. Outside, the atmosphere became quiet. People were slowly leaving when the game of chances seems unfortunate.

Harvey decided to went back to the city even if the night was long and the way was dangerous. Zion was still following him behind. "You're going with me? Teleporting is easy.", Harvey talked coldly. Zion laughed and jested, "I am guarding you so I will always follow you. Wherever you are. Even in the bathroom, I can do that." Harvey snorted and leave him.

His motorcycle was parked on the roadside. The street was very quiet where the light post blinked. Harvey was afraid of the dark but he can't let his fear conquer him. Even though he was hesitating, he quickly rode his motorcycle and drove it away. Zion was left behind while watching the motorcycle go. He said to himself, "Naughty."

On the way, the houses were already dark and quiet. Households seem already went to bed. Harvey drove fast because the way was no longer trafficked. It took a one-hour ride to reach the city.

After an hour of driving, the horizon was lightning. It will be going to rain so Harvey increased his speed. He was near his apartment when the heavy rain poured down. On the streetside, there was shade so he quickly parked his motorcycle and waited for the rain to stop. He checked the time and it was three in the morning. He was disturbed after checking the time. Three in the morning was said to be the devilish time. The rain was still pouring and he can't wait for any more in that shade where there was a big acacia tree. He rode the motorcycle and quickly drove it away. His apartment was fifty meters away so he was unconcerned about being soaked.

The street was slippery and the environment was hazy. Harvey managed to reach his apartment. His clothes were drenched so he quickly went upstairs to change.

When he opened the door, there was someone sitting in his study area and her back was facing the door. He cannot recognize the person in the dark so he immediately switched the lamp on.

"Who are you?", Harvey asked the person.

The person was still unmoving. He approached and touched the person's shoulder. The person was cold and stiff so he was taken aback. He moved far away from the person.

The eerie atmosphere made Harvey uneasy. So he quickly went to the kitchen to find a sharp object. When he went back, the person was no longer there. He stayed on guard when there he felt someone behind him. There was inaudible breathing behind him. He moved forward and faced behind. What he saw was a ghost, a woman in white with long hair. The woman bowed her head while her long hair was covering his face. Harvey quickly ran outside the door. He closed it when he bumped into someone. Zion was standing there and smiled. "You're afraid?"

"There was someone in my room.", Harvey wiped his sweat.

"Really? Ghosts?", Zion interrogated.

Harvey assumed that this man will joke with him but unexpectedly, Zion went inside to check inside the room. "Who are there?", he called for someone inside.

The lamp in the room flickered and there was a strong gust of wind that blew the curtains. It was horrifying. Zion languidly searched every corner and in the bedroom. He peeked under the bed and noticed a dress on the floor. It was white and spilled with a blotch of blood. He pulled the dress hard and it was heavy. Someone was under the bed so he called Harvey, "Harvey, is this freak you mean?" Harvey immediately entered his bedroom and saw Zion crouching down.

He peeked under the bed when he saw the woman in white. Harvey was horrified when the woman looked toward him. Its face was decaying and worm-ridden. Zion straightened up and tidied his pants. He laughed and uttered, "You mean this freak? It's not scary."

Harvey was dripped with sweat and his nape became numb. He said, "That is not scary for you. But on me it is. The woman was dead and now she was in here. That is horrifying."

The woman under the bed slowly dragged her body out from the bed and hunched down. She was weeping and screamed, "Help me! Help me." Harvey was startled so he moved

behind Zion with a serious expression. He held Zion's arm while peeking at the woman. Zion moved closer to the woman which made Harvey step back.

"Why you are here?", Zion asked the ghost woman.

The ghost lady looked up and screamed, "They kill me. I will get revenge.". She wept loudly which made everyone to be intimidated.

"Who killed you?", Zion interviewed the ghost lady.

"My husband. He killed me.", the ghost answered.

After a while, there the black hole appeared again. It was no longer static but now was violent. Things inside the room were siphoned into the hole. Harvey was near the black hole and suddenly moved away. Zion, on the other hand, was still standing near the ghost woman. His face was humorless and called Harvey, "Stay behind me. This was no longer the typical hole." Harvey immediately moved behind Zion.

The black hole sucked everything in the room. Zion removed his anklet and waved it into the air. The beautiful anklet emitted a shield-like canopy.

"Don't step outside. The black hole is very dangerous.", Zion reminded Harvey who was trembling behind.

"What do you mean by that?", Harvey was perplexed.

"It was a vengeful spirit. The black hole was no longer bringing people inside.", Zion explained while holding the anklet into the air.

Harvey was still confused so he asked another question, "You mean I am safe now? I will not encounter the netherworld again, right?."

Zion was expressionless when he uttered, "That's not the instance. Netherworld will haunt people forever."

Harvey was shocked when he heard that netherworld will always be there. He just stayed silent for a few minutes. The black hole was still swallowing the things in the room. Zion's body was shaking and collapsing when the black hole became stationary.

Harvey noticed him, who was gasping for breath, so he asked Zion, "Are you alright?"

Zion nodded and put down his arms. The anklet was no longer producing the shield-like canopy. The room returned to normal and the things that sucked were restored to where it was placed. Harvey sensed that there was no longer a threat so he quickly went to the kitchen to fetch a glass of water.

He brought the glass of water for Zion. The man was no longer to be seen. Harvey was bothered so he called Zion's name but he was unfortunate.

He felt helpless when someone will just disappear. Harvey understood now the feeling of being abandoned, it was hurtful when someone just left you without saying a word. Harvey walked towards the window and looked up at the rainy sky. He was thinking about what happen earlier when suddenly his tears fell down.
