Grizzled

Episode 13's

The sky began to meet red, but I was still in the parking area of the department store, guarding Yasinta's motorbike. Such as lack of work alone to keep the motor that has been locked double. The owner was shopping for materials for group tasks. Actually I didn't come down because I was lazy.

Lazy road, lazy banging with people, lazy to ask Yasinta about which paper is good, and lazy others. I don't know, I don't know why it's like this. What is clear is that my mood has changed since the debate in the library.

After that, the Eagle did not speak to me at all, neither glanced at me nor looked at me sharply as usual, only then. Of course there are words that make him offended, because from the beginning he also deliberately offended me. But I shouldn't have behaved that way. Should've let him tell you what about me. I usually get along with people's judgments. Usually I don't care if the Eagle is angry with me either. It feels like today is really not as usual.

“Ra! Shira!” yasinta exclaimed my daydream.

“Ha?”

“Come home! Please bring this!” he said he handed me a big bag of — paperboard rolls, manila, and I don't know what else.

“Are we going to use everything?” my many.

“Iya, Ra, so that our media is good. For the assessment should not be half-and-half, it should be totality!” enthusiastic response. Totality, huh? Totality is also my expenditure on this group dues. Group work is troublesome.

On the way home, Yasinta talked about many things. I don't know, I didn't really hear his wind-carrying voice. I was going to be sent home, but we still stopped by the school.

“Tomorrow will be very difficult for me to carry all this stuff while driving, if taken you risk missing, so you better save it in class there,” explained Yasinta. I just nodded.

“Ra,” call Yasinta before I turn around, “you are so quiet, did something happen?”

“I am indeed quiet, Yas,” I replied.

“Cih! Bullshit!” yasinta replied disagreeing. For a moment he received a phone call, answered a short yes and then ended the call.

“Sorry, Ra, I can't take you home, because ...“

“Iya, it's okay,” I replied before Yasinta finished speaking.

“Ra, why are you?”

“Eh? I'm fine, Yas. It's okay, kok! I really prefer to walk,” I replied.

“But, Ra, you are this ... Ah, I hope you are okay, Ra,” replied Yasinta. I know he's worried about me. He waved before pulling his motor gas.

“Now, Yas, I don't know what's wrong with me,”

muttered.

I looked at the watch. Almost five o'clock, the school was completely deserted. The excrement activity is over. There was no sign of anyone else here. Oh, not really, the basketball is still scattered on the court. So the basketball boys haven't been home yet.

The lights along the corridor were already on. My class is not locked. My cornered carcass is really a strategic place to store these things. Instead of going home soon, I placed a glance at the window. The sun appears to be floating at the foot of the sky. My class position on the second floor provides a perfect viewing angle. I turned on the phone camera, capturing a piece of the skyline that was blushing. That's enough, I have to go home.

I found the classroom door closed when I turned around. Kuraih leaves the door and pulls it. This pair of doors refused to open. Heh, that's right! It wasn't locked like this! How did I not realize someone had locked it? I tried to open it again. Damnit damnit! Can't! Screaming for help is also free, the school is deserted.

Ah, cellphone! My original intention was to tell anyone that I was now locked in class. However, for the sake of seeing my phone that could not be lit made me want to throw it. I forgot the power's up. Well, how's this? The window opening wasn't wide enough for me to pass through. Please do! Don't run out of sense at this crucial time!

When I almost thought there was no other way, I saw someone coming out of the bathroom at the end of the corridor. Oi! It's Eagle! Kugedor the window glass and shouted loudly. Unfortunately, I saw the Eagle wearing earphones, but I did not want to despair first. I kept trying to get him to hear me.

I almost cried when the Eagle started coming down the stairs. Forget it! With his ears plumped as soon as he could where he could hear. I leaned my forehead against the glass window while punching it weakly. Whatever it is, I'm gonna be locked up all night here.

However, when I held my head up again, the Eagle was back at the mouth of the stairs, staring horror at me. The earphones in his ears are gone. Ah, looks like she came back to pick up her sports shoes left behind near the bathroom.

“Lang! Lang! It's me, Lang! Quickly help me get out of here!” myrag.

“You?! What are you doing here?! Just surprise me!” the answer.

Without explaining, he understood my situation.

“So I passed Mr Aslan, the school security staff, how did you not know that he locked the class?” her tan tried to open the padlock somehow while I was on the inside side of the class waiting for her efforts.

“I don't know either! Mr. Aslan hasn't come home yet, has he? The key must be on him!”

Right after I said that, the classroom door finally opened. Uh! I was soaring with excitement, not spending the night in class alone.

“Already, no need to call Mr. Aslan,” replied Eagle. He managed to open the lock with a spare key. Ah, I just remembered, every class leader must have that key.

“Thank you, Lang! Thank you very much! I don't know what it would be like if you weren't around!” happy say. The eagle locked the class.

“Eat him if it is late afternoon leave school soon,” he said.

“You yourself why haven't you come home yet?” my reply. He showed me his sports shoes. Oh, yeah, basketball practice.

“Hurry home! Soon the gate will be locked, then I can not help you if you are locked again.”

“Yes, you also want to go home, right?” my answer. Uh, briefly! Words earlier!

“Why? Want to be together?” ask Eagle.

“No need!” I answered quickly, suddenly I realized something was interesting from his words earlier.

“Ya already,” her answer turned towards the parking lot.

“Eh, wait!”

She's looking. Oh, come! Is this a good time to explain the school gate that will be locked and its relation to the mystery that we have to solve? Especially after the incident at the library last afternoon. The eagle no longer wanted to talk about it.

“What?” tanyanya was impatient. I was confused what to say.

Suddenly I flicked his forehead like he often did to me, not so hard, but he didn't have time to dodge.

“What's up, anyway?!” tanyanya was upset while rubbing her forehead.

“Nothing, I'm just annoyed with a pessimistic person like you, but I'll still be selfish. As soon as I find a way out, I will still take you, even if I have to drag,”, I replied. The eagle was silent.

“It's almost night, Shir. Home!” the answer.

 ****

I was glued to where I stood, flabbergasted at the sight before me. A cold wind whipped my face, combing my hair.

“This is the first warning for you to leave here immediately, Shira,” said a voice at the end of the hallway. The voice that usually always cheerfully greeted me now sounded concerned.

“How can I get out if I don't know the way, Sakti?” I said back to asking.

“Oh, just be careful if you already know you do not go out and still think of others,” replied Eagle also suddenly appeared. Many snow grains were stuck in his black hair. I slowly got used to his presence in this place.

“What's wrong?” my reply.

“I'm afraid you're offended, but the truth is you're stupid, Shir. I really don't understand your way of mind,” replied the Eagle.

“Stop arguing! We're still out in the open! Quickly find shelter before the snow melts!” cut Sakti reminds.

“I'm tired of this scenario! Why do we always have to hide? Can't we fight?” ask the Eagle to walk in the back. Occasionally play a knife in his hand. If my guess is correct, it's still the same weapon he had yesterday, a weapon that can change as the Eagle wishes.

“The only soul that has ever lost here, the only one who has any thoughts of fighting back is you, Eagle. Maybe because you have a great weapon and that weapon I haven't seen in all this time,” Sakti said leading in front, looking for a safe empty room.

“That doesn't sound like a compliment,” replied the Eagle.

“He is not praising you,” I replied. The eagle snorted.

“Really, about whether or not to kill that monster I don't know either. Despite being bothered for hundreds of years I never thought about killing them at all,” Sakti said. For a moment he stopped, looked at the Eagle seriously, “moreover, I will not kill my own brother, nor let him be killed in your hands,” Sakti said coldly.

I realized there was tension. I have to quickly deflect the conversation.

“Ah, by the way about Sekti, there is something I want to ask,”.

“We talk while walking yes, Shira,” replied Sakti again lead the trip. For some reason along the corridor of class ten MIPA all the rooms are closed.

“Um, me and the Eagle had trouble translating the language in that ancient book. I want to meet Sekti and ask him directly about his reply message,”. I heard Sakti chuckled softly.

“You must be struggling to pry information, matching it with thousands of characters in the world. Unfortunately, it will not work,” Sakti replied. I just kept quiet not understanding. We started climbing the stairs, maybe on the second floor there was an open room.

“It's actually my secret code that I used when I was a lookout,” Sakti replied.

“You've been a spy?” ask Eagle.

“Wah, means you two are the same!” sahutku.

“If you search for information about the character in the history books, then you will never find it, because not many people know. For those who know the code will not be spread because there is always a secret message behind the code,” explained Sakti.

Ah, just deserve it!

“Actually Sekti also never learned about the code, but somehow he could understand it by himself. Is it possible that our thoughts are connected? I don't know, I don't know either, but it's there for good. Now we can communicate safely through that password,” added Sakti again.

“In the world that now there are only you two —and monster— you still communicate that way?” ask Eagle.

“They can't stand in the same space and time in a human form, Lang. One of them was still a monster when the other was human. The cycle is like that,” I replied. Sakti nodded confirming my statement.

“Do you need to use such a complicated password? The two of them were just exchanging information with each other. Who do they want to keep it a secret from?”

“From the creator of this place,” replied Sakti.

“Creator?”

“Creator of this place, Shira. He is the owner of the black power that once helped Sekti until Sekti's soul was cursed and imprisoned forever in this place,” Sakti replied. I get goosebumps hearing it. If the world is so terrible, what is the creator?

“The creator of this place would not have liked it if Sekti and I were secretly discussing a way out. My book was snatched up, but thank goodness she didn't understand what we wrote there.”

“What kind of people created this place?” my many.

“He is a descendant of the devil that we know has always been hostile to humans. No darkness dared to stand before him. All evil slammed into him,” explained Sakti.

“What is the key to the way out of this world is also known to the devil?” ask Eagle.

“Of course, Eagle. He's the creator, he knows all the secrets of this place, but where might he tell you if you ask him,” Sakti replied. Yes, of course, it would be ridiculous if that demon just let us go.

“But you do not despair, that information is also known Sekti. You two better meet him soon,” Sakti said.

“I really want to see Sekti,” muttered I wirih.

We arrived at the other end of the corridor. Even here, no room is open. We had to go down the stairs.

“Wah, your words are always answered, Shira,” Sakti said stopping the scale in the middle of the stairs.

“Oh yes?”

“Yes, Sekti is down there, but the time is not right, we are back up!” answer Sakti. Eh? Is it downstairs? This time? Maybe in the form of a monster?

“Yes, Sekti is still in the form of a monster, but he is still hibernating. Fast away before the snow melts!” misik Sakti's. Me and the Eagle, according to him, went back up and found that the dark sky no longer snowed. The white school page —agak grey— because it was buried in snow now only leaves a muddy field. Really, this is a bad sign.

“Oh, no, fast! Quick go ...”

Not far away we left the stairs, a low growl resounded from the bottom of the stairs. The snow had melted and the monster had woken up from its hibernation. Sakti immediately withdrew my hand, preparing to run as fast as possible, but not with the Eagle pulling the sword from his waist, setting the stout horses.

“What are you doing? Quick go!” Sakti's orders.

“Will not have time! There's no hiding place! The next ladder is still at the end there!” reply Eagle. What he said was true as well. Sakti clucked slowly. The sound of the monster's footsteps grew closer.

“Let me handle it! You and Shira take cover! You two don't get separated!” exclaim Sakti then the next second the monster was seen at the mouth of the stairs. I immediately ran without a cue followed by the Eagle still with his weapon on standby behind me.

“Come fast, Shira!” exclaimed the Eagle when I stopped to see Sakti struggling to resist the monster's attack without striking back even once. Of course, even so the monster was still his sister.

“Lang, you want a different scenario?” I still run in any direction. This time we traced the twelve IPS corridor, the middle building.

“What do you mean?” ask Eagle.

"I know where to go!"

.Seriate.
