FULL-FLEDGED
They're not Human
“ Who are they really??? ”
From the top of his bed, Ralin was looking at the ceiling of the room that he painted like a twilight sky decorated with a stretch of stars in some parts of the remaining. There are dark blue, purple, reddish orange, and white colors that indicate the twilight sun. Long stunned, the dream shadow flashed again in the mind of Ralin.
The pine forest, the stretch of white roses, and the mysterious figure behind the twilight light slowly disappeared. The orange light began to immerse itself, but the mysterious figure seemed reluctant to move from its place. He just kept silent and looked in front of him. Those golden shining eyes no longer frightened Ralin. From the same spot at the beginning of her dream, Ralin stepped slowly closer to the mysterious figure. Suddenly,
Sraaac!! “ !!! ” Ralin turned towards the voice that came.
The figure of the little girl accompanied by a carefree laugh ran petite nudging Ralin's hand. She's a cute little girl in a black dress on her knees. The bangs covered the tip of his eyebrows. There is a white bandana attached to the sweet on the sidelines of her long black hair. Passing a few steps further away from Ralin, the little girl turned around. He threw a smile at Ralin and ran back to him. Surprised by what she saw, Ralin tried to prevent the little girl from running away
the mysterious who did not budge from the place standing before.
Too late!
The little girl had arrived and immediately held the mysterious figure. The fog ambushed before the mysterious figure and the little girl disappeared from sight. But Ralin could see the face of the mysterious figure. A face that always looks closely around the school. A figure who always looks at him by showing longing and waiting for him. The most annoying figure in Ralin's memory.
“ Andra! ” Ralin awoke from his sleep with cold sweat pouring out all over his face and body.
On a night that was still so thick, he was alone in his room that looked so quiet.
***
Morning's approaching.
The lesson has been going on for an hour. And Ralin's mind was still struggling with a very real strange dream for him last night. Recalling the mysterious figure and the little girl in his dream, unknowingly Ralin's hand had already finished drawing a figure of a man holding the hand of the little girl with him. In his good view of the picture, a real shadow flashed in the mind of Ralin. The black-robed man and the little girl with the same smile as Leticia used to show herself.
Noticing Leticia, Ralin seemed to investigate every detail of the expression of the girl who was now stunned looking ahead. His eyelashes, eyebrows, and eyes appear round and large like humans in general.
But that pale white skin. Across there was Andra who was looking at him like the gaze shown by the mysterious figure in his dream. Ralin. His breathing began to feel heavy. Another shadow for the sake of another shadow began to haunt Ralin's mind.
Slowly setting twilight, pine forest, rose beds, little boy holding a mysterious figure in black robes, red full moon light shadows, flames blazing, cries, screams of fear, a mother's tight embrace of her son. Caci maki, anger, hatred, and the chaos of a small village. A hand covered in blood, a black knee-length dress and a boy drooping under the leg with a fang bite wound on his neck.
“ Ralin? ” that first call sounded quite far in his ear. Even very far away. It was as if Ralin's consciousness was not under the control of his heart and mind. " Ralin! ” in that body shake. The second call and subsequent calls bring Ralin back into the real world.
As if in spite of the giggling in the neck, Ralin's breath was panting. Being stuck is like not getting enough air for him to breathe again. When all tried to get closer and enveloped Ralin with his condition, in the corner was seen Atlas holding the hand of Leticia who was staring at him with a face that was quite sad. There is a concern that is embedded from the gelagat they both see the conditions shown by Ralin in the classroom that is ongoing learning materials school.
With deep breaths. Instantly, Ralin could feel the rush of blood from his friends. It feels so exciting and refreshing. Thirst strikes at once. A very strong phlegm ambushed Ralin's throat. The shadow of the blood drops of the brother a few events ago did not escape the memory of Ralin. Trying to fight the thirst, Ralin's body had rebelled. As fast as she could, Leticia hugged and buried Ralin's face in her arms.
“ Arrange your breath. Control your mind. ” he said softly. “ All must be well. ”
Hearing that sentence, Ralin adjusted his breathing slowly. The fragrance of Leticia's body made Ralin feel calmer. But behind the calmness, there is a curiosity that attacks the mind of Ralin about the truth of the figure who is now holding himself. Leticia's not human. Ralin looked up at Leticia who was glaring while holding Ralin in her body which did not show her heartbeat or breathing sound.
Passed.
***
Right in the middle of the school's main courtyard, Ralin looked back at the terrace of the Osis room. Strange Eve seemed to blow around the building he was staring at. Where the managers of Osis are doing some tasks as usual. Maybe it should have been a little busier today, but what Andra did was always the same. See and pay attention to the hustle and bustle of the afternoon break atmosphere. There are Atlas and Leticia. They're talking about something. It looks very serious
Moments later, Leticia leaves from Atlas' side. Ralin did not throw his gaze away from that place at all. He kept paying attention to everything the managers of Osis did. Nothing is missed one bit. Even when Andra and Atlas quickly caught the figure of a student who plunged free from the roof of the school building with ease, more attention was Ralin that afternoon.
Many of the students below were screaming hysterically. Seconds, the figure of the student was drooping weakly in front of the teacher building and school staff in the main yard of the school. There were no serious injuries as a result of the student's fall. Such as bruises on the back head, broken hands/feet or others. There was only fresh blood pouring from his wrist due to the incision of a sharp object. Maybe the girl tried to kill herself by slashing her veins and then trying to knock herself off the roof of the building.
The mood was boisterous with the incident. Several students ran to report the incident to the teacher's room. Some are trying to call an ambulance.And the rest look on with fear, concern and also sadness. Ralin scrunched up with everything he saw. He saw very well that the student had been captured by Andra and Atlas simultaneously. Even Andra and Atlas had laid it on the porch of the Osis room.
Ralin looked back at the chamber of Osis. It appears that Atlas is holding back and hastily takes off his black suit which may contain a bloodbath. Andra looked resentfully at the crowd. The fire broke out in the corner of the terrace where Andra was cramming the Osis suit that Atlas had thrown. Not trying to help or look panicked, Ralin was increasingly unable to release his gaze from the figure of Andra who suddenly had noticed Ralin from a distance. Just in case something bad might happen unexpectedly.
The wind blew carrying the smell of fresh blood of the schoolgirl piercing Ralin's nose. There was a strange tremor in him that seemed to be fighting the consciousness of Ralin who was now holding the back of his neck. Thirst and thirst slowly invaded his throat.
" Like the freshness." the whisper of a raucous voice echoed in the memory of Ralin. That raucous voice that was very familiar to Ralin's hearing reverberated many times. Carrying Ralin's desire to meet the thirst that attacked him slowly.
“ I why else?? ” Ralin mutters.
Heard Andra flicking a finger from a distance. Ralin. There was an instant rage raging within him when he met Andra. Time stopped for a moment and Ralin noticed. There was a message of speech coming out of Andra's lips.
“ Not yet. Control yourself. ” is his first sentence. “ Wait until the time comes. ” that sentence
subsequent.
The wind slowed down around Ralin. Bringing fresh air that made Ralin's thirst disappear shortly after. Andra tried to show her usual smile. He turned to pat Atlas on the shoulder who also had a glance towards Ralin who was staring at the terrace of the room. Moving from the terrace and boisterous student panic with the incident that occurred at the bottom of the main courtyard of the school, the door terrace room Osis immediately closed tightly.
“ Want to join us at Osis? ” figure Nathan surprised because now his figure is standing beside Ralin. His gaze was pointing in the same direction. The terrace of the Osis room where he used to spend time in the afternoon break.
“ We snag Osis briefly. ” take Celine to make Ralin more aghast again. “ This is not a solicitation. But must.”
Celine immediately took Ralin by the hand and pulled him voluntarily towards the place in question. There was an anxiety in Celine when she had to distract Ralin who felt had a strong instinct for things that might have happened before her eyes.
“ We will be a little busy with the preparation of the Festival event. ” said Nathan looks stiff.
“ So we need a little help. ” Celine smile.
Their steps must be in the hallway of the class. Celine and Nathan followed behind her, heading for the Osis Room. Climbing some stairs, Ralin noticed a man walking slowly past them. The step is so sure to wear a white shirt with a gray taxido that looks very neat and elegant like Celine every day. His long hair beyond the ear limit was allowed to fall down making his figure look very charming. The shape of the face is firmly combined with a sharp nose, eyebrows and narrow eyes that are equally firm, firmly, as well as the shape of her small lips seductively brings our memories to the figure of Park Bo Gum who has a mysterious gaze in each shooting session. Throwing a knotty smile at Ralin, the man passed by at the end of the hallway.
“ You can... ” the voice sounded raucous and whispered. “... finish them off. ”
As if recognizing that raucous voice, Ralin turned around in shock. And the shadow of the chaos of a small village again flashed in Ralin's memory. That whisper right behind his ear. The screams and blasphemies were directed at him. Ralin was silent as all those shadows burst forth and became real as he turned around. There was no Celine or Nathan beside him. There was only a darkness that slowly brought the shadow of his dream into a real memory.
Yep. The girl in black dress that knee-length was herself. The dream he had seen many times was a shadow of his past memories. The shadow of the red full moon light, the blaze of fire, the cry, the scream of fear, the tight embrace of a mother towards her son. Caci maki, anger, hatred, and the chaos of a small village. Hands covered in blood. A boy who was drowning under the leg with a fang bite wound on his neck and a face full of splashes of fresh blood from the fang bite marks on the boy's neck.
Stupefied after seeing the shadow of his dream that was so real, Ralin's body trembled violently. Celine immediately held onto Ralin firmly when she found out that there was something rebelling on the body of the girl she was holding. Ralin held his neck as if suffocated by something and the breathing of Ralin was not irregular at all. Occasionally there was the sound of a moan held back from the girl.
*Haus... Blood.I want blood now... * Inner Ralin.
The shadow of the blood droplets of the older brother, the flow of blood of his friends, and the smell of fresh blood of the schoolgirl who had just fallen from the rooftop of the school. All those shadows brought Ralin into his subconscious. Almost losing control of himself, the figure of Andra burst out of the room and hold Ralin nature in front of his friends. The same fragrance that Leticia possessed calmed the figure of Ralin. The turmoil within him disappeared slowly. The thirst and thirst disappeared.
“ Control yourself lo well. ” his first words. “ That's all I can ask for right now. ” Andra again buried the face of Ralin who raised his gaze to see the owner of the voice.
Ralin slowly controlled the breath. The arrangement of the breath that had felt stifling.
“ Are you better? ” Andra pats Ralin on the head and suddenly treats Ralin like a person he knows very well.
Pulling away from Andra's crib, Ralin's blood rippled rapidly to the head. There is a sense of nausea that arises when you realize there is something different from the figure of Andra. He looked at Andra well. Make sure Leticia and Andra are the same. They are not human. Maybe Celine, Nathan, and maybe Atlas are the same.
Retreating slowly from the surrounding Osis officials, Ralin threw a strange look at Leticia, who stood behind Celine, and looked at Andra, Nathan, and Atlas in turn. Looking at the bloodstains on Atlas's shirt sleeve, Ralin wandered back. He crashed into another figure who had just come out of the Osis room, Ralin aghast in shock.
