Me, Citra, and Tiara were sitting in a circle in our room at nightfall. A dim light hit our faces, just the silence from earlier. Our lips were crotchety from earlier, somehow about to start this conversation. A cold wind blew in through the window of the room that was left wide open.
“I'm afraid.” Finally the word was said from the lips Citra, her eyes began to glaze over. Tiara further tightened her embrace on her beloved chocolate doll, crying silently.
“I also.” I try to calm down.
Back in silence, only the sobs of Citra sounded. I could only look at the pale face of his masai.
“The girl again took a toll, this time Karina.” Tiara's remark made us remember the incident. The wind that came in was getting stronger. The beginning of November was no joke about the weather. I stood up, then closed the wooden window with the embroidery engraving.
“I'll be going from here.” Say Image suddenly in between her cries. Tiara choked, I pegged in front of the window.
“Are you crazy? Going outside of this hostel is tantamount to dying!” snapped Tiara.
“But if we stay here, we will stay dead!” the image cry exploded. I took a deep breath, I don't know what to say.
“Already, we face this together. We can go through.” I try to calm the mood. Tiara looked away, maybe she was fed up with the false hopeful words I always made.
“Lidya, if the ghost kills us, what do we do?” The image looks at me annoyed.
“Nothing will happen to us,” I said pretending to be calm, but I was so scared. Tiara poked.
“You always say that, look at our friends, Fitria, Penny, Arin and yesterday, Karina. They have become victims, there are only three of us.” said Tiara.
“Better you guys go to bed.” I get into bed, then cover the body using a blanket. Sweat pouring from the temple. What if their words were right?
“Lidya! Lidya! Wake up!” I feel Tiara shaking my body. I opened my eyes, but Tiara was crying.
“What happened?” manya panic.
“Yesterday night when we fell asleep, Citra left this hostel. And, d-and..”.
“And what?” I'm just impatient.
“D-and his body was found in the back garden with wounds all over his body.” Tiara replied while crying.
“Where are you going?” tiara asked as I opened the room door.
“Toilet.” my word is short. “Do not go, I beg” he said with a clear face. I took a long breath.
“You why?” manya irritated.
“I feel, tonight I will be the victim.” he said slowly.
“Omong empty. Don't talk like that! Besides I won't be long.” I said as I passed leaving him.
Just down the stairs I heard a scream, I quickly ran back to the room. “Tiara!” I searched Tiara all over the room, but I couldn't find it. My eyes saw Tiara's phone lying on the floor. I picked it up, and then I opened it. There's a voice recording, I push the play button and listen to it.
“Lidya, a-there's something that k-out d-of ba-under the bed, t-wait i-it looks like a person! He crawled near me!” this really is Tiara's voice!
“Lidya! I think I'm going to die now! That guy's getting closer! NOOO!!” I threw the phone. Cold sweat is pouring. I felt the corner of my eye begin to warm. The cheerful girl's figure continued to be on the head. No matter how much I tried to report it to the teachers and guards, I never gained their trust.
“Maybe tonight I will die. Nah! I can't think like that.” I hug my knees, tonight's gonna be a very long night. There was a knock on the door. My breathing began to disorganize, my mind began to fantasize about the ghost of this dormitory.
“Hai,” a girl my age walks into my room, bringing a sigh of relief.
“Hallo, are you a new student?” I asked happily because someone would accompany me. At least I won't be alone.
“Ya.” he said with a smile.
“Why did you move here?” ask again.
“Only for one purpose, may I have your body?” The girl started to approach me. I jumped out of bed, I felt my fur sitting up.
“Cannot be!” I saw the girl getting closer, her smile getting wider and wider which was unreasonable, horrible.
“I want your body, Lidya!!” said the girl while going through all my pores.
