DEAD

DEAD
Section 34



After that fateful incident, Mr. William remained as usual, as if nothing had happened before. The servants were also mediocre, even though they helped bury the body of Frederick Bloed in the backyard, under huge trees that were hundreds of years old.


Only Anna was horrified whenever she imagined what had happened in the house, but she also never discussed the incident at all to anyone, including Mr. William. Murder is not a good thing to be discussed at breakfast, dinner, sitting around while drinking tea, or at any time.


Tonight he's just having dinner with Mr. William. After the man's body was removed, Mr. William decided to lock Sophie in her room. Anna didn't really know until when her brother would be locked up like that, nor did she feel good asking. He hoped that all things would improve after all this.


The next few days were hard for Anna. Mr. William hasn't taken Sophie out of the room yet. Even he decided to sleep in another room, not with his wife. As the military man was also wanted, Anna heard people in uniform secretly coming at people who were quite close to the man. What astonished him was that none of them had come to Mr. William's house.


That proves that Sophie is in a relationship with this man secretly and the man is also the same as hiding his relationship with Sophie. No one knows, so where did Mr William hear rumors about his wife's affair from if no one knew? Anna also has not received an answer about this. Never thought that her sister would do something like this. In the end everything went bad.


“The conditions are getting weaker, Sir. Don't we just take it out? Lady Sophie—”


“No need. Just let him rot there.”


Anna heard Mr. William talking to the waiter in Malay. He didn't really know, just a few words he could catch from that sentence. During her stay, Anna learned Malay from Yusuf. So, still remembering the full sentence, Anna immediately met Joseph and asked what the meaning of the sentence she had just heard.


“Ah, so so. Thank you, Yusuf.”


“Nona Anna, should you not just go home? Conditions here are not so good, I mean ...”


Joseph let his sentence hang without any intention of continuing. Anna smiled, held onto the man's shoulder and stroked him slowly.


“Do not worry about me, Yusuf. I came here to make things better. Although it turns out that the problem is more severe, but I will keep trying. There's no way I'm leaving Sophie and Mr. William in this condition. After all, if I go home, I don't know what to say to my mom and dad. I'm not very good at lying, all this time I just kept quiet if I didn't want to say anything instead of lying. And I'm not sure when I'll be able to shut up if asked about my brother's situation. My silence also made them suspicious. In the end, if I go home before things get better, I will just make this problem even wider.”


“You are a good woman, Miss Anna. You shouldn't experience things like this in your life.”


“You are also a good man, Yusuf. Your luck should be better. We can only say such words, right? But now all we need is an action, not a sentence of divination. Well, I go first.”


***


Anna knows that Mr. William already hates his wife and Sophie is too stubborn to be conscious and admit his mistake. Instead of apologizing, the woman sulked and chose not to eat before Mr. William apologized to her. Which is something impossible.


Only Mr. William, Ms. Suri—the woman who became the butler and who always brought food for Sophie, Gunawan—the good friend of Mr. William, and Anna knew what really happened. Sophie dies of her own will, she chooses to commit suicide in an unusual way, allowing her soul to be devoured by the devil and transformed into the demon herself.


That's when they also knew that it turned out that Sophie had been participating in meetings that adhered to deviant teachings, heretical sects. The most surprising thing for all of them. Gunawan, who though is not a psychic but knows about the supernatural science that tells them all. Now Sophie has united with one of the demons and intends to take revenge.


The first death that occurred after Sophie's death was the death of the waiter who always prepared food for the family. In the kitchen he was possessed and killed himself. Following Bu Suri's son who fell from the stairs and immediately died. Then Anna's death.

“Jadi ...”


Rena shaking. What he had just seen made him realize very well what had happened in this house. In front of him Anna stood up, nodding small. His two eyes were no more, only empty cavities, blackened flesh.


“He who has done all this to us,” said Anna with a stiff Indonesian. “He took both my eyes before killing me, so cruel. She's not my sister, she's a devil.”


Rena heard Anna blurting out many foreign sentences in an angry voice. Maybe the swearing or the swearing, he doesn't know.


“And now he wants to kill you too,” Anna said again in a gloomy voice. “She has entered into your sister's body.”


Rena surprised. So Sophie has possessed Rana. It was fitting that her brother's attitude was so strange and unfriendly. Anna looked at him with a fearful look.


“But why are you doing all this? Why did you show me what happened in this house?”


“I just want you to know. He really did a lot of bad things. The man you see in the side yard is a foreign man who once occupied this house after it was sold by Mr. William. He killed her by cutting off her head. The girl in your room is also a pesky stranger who broke into this house while running away from her house, so Sophie also killed him in a way that is no less cruel. We're all dead and Sophie loves it. I've warned you to leave immediately, others do, and now it's too late to go.”


Anna remained silent. Rena was still standing in front of Rana's room door and she heard that it was open. Turning around, he saw Rana standing right on the doorstep, grinning widely with bulging eyes. Spotlight eyes that are not Rana at all. His mouth opened, making a heavy and smooth sound.


“Mati ..”
