Can't Be Alone

Hope High School is back. The news of Chelsea's death last night shocked the school this morning. Police have filled the school area. A school guard named Geraldi who was the cause of Chelsea's death has become their fugitive now.

Teaching and learning activities at SMA Harapan were also encouraged. All students who had left school were forced to return home immediately to each other to make it easier for the police to take care of Chelsea's body.

But Agam and his three friends did not obey the rules. They chose to break through the police line to see Chelsea's body there.

"wait. You cannot enter this area. We're on duty" prohibit a police officer from preventing Agam and his three best friends from entering their area.

"But Chelsea is our best friend, sir," Hugo protested.

"True sir, Chelsea is our best friend. We just want to see his body for a minute. We beg you to allow us, sir."

"Rules are rules. If you keep breaking through, I as the leader in this assignment will complain to the school."

The police did not give up. He kept Agam and his three best friends from entering the area they were on duty.

Vivian got on board with the police reply. He approached the policeman and looked at him. Vivian will pull out her flagship weapon to make the cop surrender and let Vivian and her three best friends see Chelsea's body.

"Our parents are the biggest donors in this school, sir. Papah I also have a friend of a general from the central police force in this city. Do not let your lowly position be removed just because it prevents us who want to see the body of our best friend," said Vivian made the police immediately express fear.

"All right, I'll let you in. But on one condition, that is, you can only see the body of your friend within ten minutes. If it's been ten minutes, you should leave the area immediately" said the police, who eventually let Vivian and her three friends in.

Vivian and her three best friends went straight into the bedroom room of the school guard Geraldi, who was the mastermind behind Chelsea's death.

"Gosh, Chelsea!" vivian was shocked when he saw Chelsea's body in the bed of the room.

Chelsea's body was so ruined. His face was out of shape because he had been hit with a hammer. The body of the lower area of Chelsea was drenched in blood due to severe bleeding due to brutal forced rape. His blood even soiled the bed linen.

Vivian immediately cried out great when she saw it. Her crying was so painful. Vivian's crying voice was so loud and echoed in the room. Agam hugged Vivian's body trying to calm her down.

Agam himself was just as shocked as Vivian. He was devastated by the death of Chelsea. Agam couldn't even let out her tears. Agam did not think that the ugly sentence he said yesterday to Chelsea was their farewell sentence.

If he knew Chelsea would leave so soon, maybe Agam would have treated her better yesterday. Agam. Agam feels guilty for not being able to give the best parting gift to his ex-girlfriend and best friend.

Edgar and Hugo were just as devastated by the death of Chelsea as Agam and Vivian. Edgar was currently clenching his hands hard. His face was so angry when he found his best friend had been so sadistically murdered by someone.

"What's the name of the school guard? I'm gonna kill him!" ask Edgar wrathfully.

"The name of the school guard is Geraldi. He's a fugitive now" replied Agam.

Hugo who had been crying silently stared at the wall of the room. He was shocked when he saw the blood writing in the room. At first Hugo thought it was Chelsea blood that littered the wall. But after being noticed, the blood forms letters that if combined will be a message sentence.

"The wall has writing!" tell Hugo to his three best friends.

Just like Hugo, Agam, Edgar and Vivian also just realized if there is a message made from the walls of the room. It looks like they were too focused on Chelsea's body until they didn't notice it.

The bloody message was a warning message that read :

The truth will be revealed!

~Bara~

At the school rooftop, Agam and his three best friends are now daydreaming loudly. The four of them stared at the cityscape from above the school with blank stares. They're upset. They were confused by everything that happened today.

"But the letter says Bara's name, Ed. What does that have to do with the school guard?"

Vivian asked with a confused tone and a messy face for taking too long to cry for Chelsea.

"Maybe Geraldi is some kind of crazy psychopath obsessed with the dead like Bara." Hugo tried to answer Vivian's confusion.

"Hugo's right. It seems he was also the one who created the gossip about Bara that was running in this school," Edgar said in agreement with Hugo.

"You're wrong. The rumors are true. Bara really swayed. I was yesterday terrorized by the ghostly figure of a student in the jasmine lake. And that's Bara. He appeared to me." Agam who has been silent since then now makes a sound.

"Seriously, Gam?" shock Hugo heard Agam's story just now.

"It was really Bara. I never forget the face of that damn Bara," replied Agam.

"So, the rumor of the death of the Emperor who was killed by the ghost of Bara one week ago is also true?" ask Edgar.

"Looks yes. The police haven't found the Emperor's killer to date either, have they? It corroborates the fact that the Emperor was actually killed by the ghost of Bara. Sairish also admitted that if she drowned in the lake jasmine three days ago it was because she was pulled by the ghost of Bara into the lake," Vivian told the story.

The fact of Agam and Vivian also made Edgar and Hugo shocked and confused simultaneously.

"But what does Geraldi have to do with Bara? Why is that bloody message in that son of a bitch's room? No way it's just a coincidence, right?" edgar asked confused.

"Maybe Geraldi was possessed by the ghost of Bara. Looks like Bara's ghost influenced Geraldi to kill Chelsea," Hugo guessed.

"What's that empty mouth you're talking about, Hugo? It was completely out of reason," asked Edgar again in an inexhaustible tone.

"Creatures like them do things that are beyond reason, right? The death of the Emperor one week ago was also considered strange by the police.  Logically, Man in which hemisphere could leave a trace of such a chuckle in the neck of the Emperor. The police said the Emperor's neck had been squeezed" Hugo said.

"If the ghost of Bara really floated, will the night stage of determination still be carried out?" Vivian asked Agam.

Agam as the cosmic leader nodded in agreement and said, "The night of determination must not be canceled. Because if that happens, the cosmic will stop this year because of the absence of a next generation."

"The night of the judgment will be held at night. What will be the fate of the participants? What if Bara's ghost kills them? Our lives will also be threatened, Agam. You didn't learn from the case of the Emperor and Chelsea?" vivian Protest.

"Emperor and Chelsea died because they were alone at school on the night of their death. On the eve of the decider, we and the participants will be safe. We just need to be together and protect each other" Agam explained.

"Agam's right. The key is only one. We cannot be alone on the night of the determination" said Hugo, who agreed with Agam's remarks.
