Counting in the Dark



All lighting lights at SMA Harapan instantly went out without cause. All areas of the school became pitch black including the canteen area which is currently being served by Sairish with his four group friends.


The five of them immediately panicked. Especially Olivia. They immediately turned on their respective flashlights to illuminate them at this time. Although the light from their flashlight is not too bright and can only illuminate up to a distance of three meters.


"Why did all the school lights suddenly go out like this?" ask Olivia to panic.


"Maybe deliberately shut down by the organizers" Sairish replied.


"Then what should we do? The dark is not a joke right now. The flashlight that we hold is also not very able to illuminate up to a long distance. I'm afraid we'll be scattered and separated. I'm afraid to meet Bara's ghost." Olivia said that with a whining tone almost crying.


"Don't panic. I have an idea." Genta as the group leader tried to calm Sairish and the others.


"What's your idea, Gen?" ask Noah.


"We use counting. We are five people. Later we will count from one to five according to the sequence number. It is useful to make sure if one of us is scattered and left behind or not. Later I will command us to count every five minutes. How, agree not to my idea?" asked Genta after explaining his idea. Sairish and the others nodded in agreement.


"Gue agrees. Your idea is brilliant, Gen. Then we divide the number first and who will mention it. To clear. How's it?" liam's Proposal. Genta agreed.


"Okay, I'll split it up now. Liam number one, I'm number two, Noah number three, Olivia number four, and Sairish number five. Agreed?" tanya Genta asked Sairish and the others for approval. Sairish and the others nodded in agreement.


"Okay, now let's get out of the cafeteria. We need to get to the last mission spot" Genta said.


"Where's our last mission, Gen?" ask Olivia.


Genta also saw the map. Then he replied, "Our last mission is in the main square of the school."


"Okay, let's go there now. Lo don't forget to command us to count, Gen," Noah said, reminding Genta.


"Ready, I will definitely not forget," replied Genta.


Sairish and her group of friends began to leave the cafeteria. All areas are so dark that they have to walk slowly so as not to hit something and to make sure they do not take the wrong path.


Five minutes have passed. Sairish and her group of friends were already out of the canteen area by now. Genta also began commanding Sairish and the others to count.


"Count!" genta Command.


"One!" said Liam.


"Two!" genta.


"Three!" said Noah.


"Four!" olivia.


"Five!" Sairish.


Perceived members are still complete, Genta also invited Sairish and others to continue the journey.


Five minutes passed again. Sairish and her group of friends have stepped into the corridor area of the classroom majoring in Ips now. They have to pass about three more areas in order to get to the main school field, which is they have to pass through the library area, basketball court area and teacher room area.


"Count!" command Genta again to Sairish and the others to count.


"One!" said Liam.


"Two!" genta.


"Three!" said Noah.


"Four!" olivia.


"Five!" Sairish.


"Six!"


"Whose voice mentioned the number six just now? No one's kidding, man!" angry Olivia.


"Gue doesn't know," replied Noah.


"Lo mentioned the number six just now, didn't he, Liam? Your nature is like a child. You like a prank. Must you be the one who mentioned the number six just now?" accuse Olivia.


"Not me, goddamn it!" reply Liam angry.


"Who is that?" olivia snapped to her group of friends. He's very scared right now.


"Olivia's right. Maybe we were kidding. I as the group leader beg you who were joking not to do that again. Got it? Now, let's continue on!"


Genta also invited Sairish and the others to continue the journey again after he ordered the group just now.


Five minutes passed again. The five of them were already in the corridor area of the library right now. Genta again ordered Sairish and the others to count.


"Count!" genta Command.


"One!" said Liam.


"Two!" genta.


"Three!" said Noah.


"Four!" olivia.


"Five!" Sairish.


"Six!"


Again there are people who mention lift six. But different as before, this time the person uttered the number six accompanied by a growl and a loud breath. His voice was like the voice of a woman holding back anger.


And only two women are here now, Sairish and Olivia. However, Genta, Hugo and Liam believe that the voice of the woman who called the number six is not Sairish and Olivia because they are very familiar with the voice of both. Sairish and Olivia are convinced that the voice is the voice of a woman, not a man.


That voice was the voice of another woman who joined the group of four at this time. The woman has been following group four since. The sound of growling and the sound of a woman's loud breath even went back to sound at this time.


Sairish and her group of friends also felt very clearly if the woman was behind their bodies at this time.


But who is that woman? Are women participants from group two who have been in group four since? But why is he growling and breathing so hard.


Out of curiosity, Genta also took the initiative to invite his group members to look behind their bodies to determine who the women who follow them at this time.


"Let's look back simultaneously," Genta invited Sairish and the others.


Sairish and the others nodded according. The five of them started doing it. They look their heads to the back of their bodies. And how shocked Sairish and her group friends were when they found a creepy woman behind them. And the woman was not human. He is a ghost. He is the ghost of Chelsea.


Chelsea's ghost instantly gave a growl and a look of wrath as Sairish and her group's friends looked at him. Made Sairish and they scream hysterically that second as well.
