Indigo: The Hand of the Demon

Hollow Girl

#Arc 1: Nightmare

...

My mornings are always the same, waking up earlier than my neighbor's chickens. Every 03:00 in the morning I'm used to being awake for some reason. But it felt as if I had slept for 12 hours. Since I came home from McB last night I did not go straight to sleep, prepare a book first, record cases from my clients, shower, watch tv, eat again, daydream, imagine, see family group, see family group, watch television again, and fall asleep in commercials.

But yes, because it is routine to wake up in a third of the night, I should meditate for a while to replenish all the energy I spend all day.

I walked down from my room and saw Uncle Billy playing with my dad's pet cat.

"Morning, Uncle." My broom.

Uncle Billy took his right hand lying on the table, then waved it at me. "Morning, Rey. Ordinary now?"

"Ah, what a regular... Hehe... By the way, is there a name for daddy's cat?" Tanyaku.

Uncle Billy blinked his eyes, "it's dong!"

"Who?"

"Jonathan Romano, I was inspired by a Mexican movie I watched as a kid."

"Cool, what's he called?"

"Jono." Answer innocently.

Uh... Jonathan Romano, so Jono?

"KITCH!"

Uncle Billy immediately smiled widely. "Oh of course!"

"Where is Shinta, by the way?" Ask uncle.

"Somehow, maybe we're going for another night out. Uncle's not resting? Your energy feels harder and harder to feel the more days."

"I've not been in the painting for a week, tired of being there just moving the eyeballs. But come to think of it, tired of being outside too late."

My hands embrace Uncle Billy's transparent body.

"Aren't Uncle going to be the same fate as Melly? Our wayward ghostly neighbor won't go into the tree for two whole weeks. Finally when the death energy he had was exhausted, his spirit was gone, unable to reincarnate."

Uncle Billy glanced in fear.

"Oh-of course I don't want to! Could my plan to reincarnate like Brad Pitt fail!"

"Well, back to the painting!"

"Alright Rey!"

When he actually came back into the painting, I just had a little laugh.

Oh yes, in my simple house typical of this psychic house live two families that have become like one family. That is the family of Jordis, which consists of me, father, mother, grandfather, and Shinta in spirit form. The second is the family of banyan trees, namely Uncle Billy, Uncle Chad, Aunt Barbara, and Miguel. They were all ghosts that had been in this house for a long time, in other words, before we moved here, they were the real waiters.

My house is very strange, where the level of this house is not up, but down. So we have three basements that function differently. There was used as a meditation room, then underneath was a storage room for spell books, and on the darkest and lowest floor of my house, was the place where the portal of the spirit world, the, and the human world is. Psychics can go there for some of their own spiritual affairs. As for the spirits who wanted to stay in the human world, they would be contracted by the ruler of the spirit world. For example the banyan tree family, grandfather, colonel, also Shinta. These people are not the wandering spirits, because they already have a license to live in the human world. Suppose my grandfather wants to stay in the human world for 50 years, then their reincarnation period is also plus 50 years. So the total grandfather will be reincarnated after 100 years.

Sometimes I also like to cross into the spirit world, but can not linger because the spirit dwellers are easily angry with me, because I hide a figure of Satan in my left hand.

...

My meditations are usually completed in 3 hours. And it doesn't feel like it's starting at 06:00 in the morning. It's time to take a shower, then get ready to go to school.

While I was in uniform, I picked up the television remote and pressed the forward button to look for the morning cartoon. And when after finding Spongebob, I laughed for a while, then continued to be neat while biting the chocolate jam bread I made out of the bath.

Then suddenly a breaking news appeared when the scene was funny.

"Breaking news in the morning!"

"Ah, fuck!" I instantly ruffled my hair because of the grating, then left the living room without caring about the news that was being broadcast.

"The "heir of Nebula Group, reportedly died of a heart attack early this morning. Nabilah is also a—"

...***...

I who had just arrived at the school gate was suddenly startled by a crowd of children carrying a lot of wreaths flocking to my class.

"What's this?"

Without a second thought, I walked together with them still with a puzzled face.

"Who's the birthday?"

The deeper I went down the hall, the more often I saw some children tear up.

"Well, not a birthday anyway?"

When I got to class, Ms. Miller made a very surprising announcement, especially for me.

"Children of all dear mothers, today we have the unexpected news of grief.  Our beloved class leader, Nabilah Naraya Nebula has left us all for good this morning. As a tribute for the last time. We must come to his final resting place." Obviously Mrs Miller.

My hands immediately limp considering again the bad feeling that yesterday haunts me into reality.

"What happened to her? Obviously last night there wasn't any weirdness." I said slowly.

The condition of the class is increasingly boisterous due to this sad news, Nabilah is indeed a very important figure for our school even though I have never known him well before.

"Rey, we'd better go with your class group to Nabilah's funeral. There's something weird here." Said Shinta suddenly who came in a hurry.

"What's? What's so weird?" I'm getting confused.

"You know I can predict how someone dies, right? While reading Nabilah's aura, I found no signs of death from a heart attack at all. Unless he's killed by a special-level spirit that can take lives." Obviously Shinta.

"You're right, there's only one way to prove it."

...

At about 08:00 a.m., we were all in the cemetery where Nabilah's body was buried.

A great wind came blowing away from the north, the tomb of Nabilah really did not emit death at all. Usually, when someone dies, their spirit will not go far until everyone who loves them is sincere about this departure.

Nabilah's relatives still looked devastated by this incident, but the tomb did not feel reflected the sadness of his family.

"Shinta, can you go underground to see the condition of the body?" My love. Shinta complied and went straight into the ground.

Shortly after, Shinta jumped flying, then shouted very loudly at me ...

"What?"

All my body goosebumps not playing, so surprised, my legs to limp until I fell sitting back.

"Rey, are you okay?"

"Rey what's wrong with you?" Ask friends.

My mind was floating everywhere. This incident is very strange.

I-I have to tell grandpa about this.

...

I ran to stop a taxi, then in a hurry I asked the driver to speed towards my house.

"It can't be real, right?!"

"No, this could happen. You said Nabilah's aura was golden, right?! Did you forget the characteristics of the candidates for Hollow?"

No matter when the taxi driver looked at me strangely while talking alone, I was really panicking right now.

If a Hollow really exists, it means that Nabilah has experienced torpor. The problem is that psychics are very responsible for this because we are the only beings entrusted with controlling the path of the dead to where they came from. Hollow is an existence where the spirit of a human being is used as a struggle between the human world, and the spirit world.

Long story short I got home.

"Dad, where's grandpa?!" Manya me rush.

"Does this have anything to do with the anger of the ruler of the spirit world?"

"What is King Lamiel's father? shit!"

"Your grandfather is in the spirit world, follow him! I will take care of the higher-ups who also ask this."

"Good!"

Run me to the bottom basement of the house where the portal of the spirit world is located. Shinta was also with me, the two of us thoughtlessly crossed over and went to the palace of King Lamiel the lord of the spirit world.

In the spirit world, Shinta transformed her form into a huge white tiger that instantly lifted my body up on her back.

"Get a tight hold, Rey!"

Shinta ran very fast through many places in the spirit world, until we arrived at the demon market where there was a long ladder to the bridge of nirvana.

When we arrived at the bridge of nirvana, Shinta changed her form again into a large dragon that led me to fly up to the sky where the King's palace was.

We flew past the many palace guards who suddenly chased after us aggressively.

"CATCH THAT DEMON BOY!!!" Shouted the guard commander. They all immediately chased after me, and Shinta. Dozens of flying guards shot up trying to throw their fire spears at us, but Shinta continuously dodged this attack, even though we were already willing to arrive!

"Don't bother us! We have important business with King Lamiel!" My yelling.

But still they did not want to pierce my words, until the end...

"Shinta, do it."

Shinta's flying dragon form swerved down towards the guards, then with the great power it possessed, Shinta turned her breath into a huge lightning bolt that blew all the guard troops tumbling down the ravine.

"GRANNYAAAAAAR...!!!"

"Well, this is enough, come on Shinta!"

...

After flying far enough, until we were in the King's palace. At the King's stop, grandfather is seen arguing with the King.

"Hollow belongs to our world! You have no right to let him live with you after 16 years ago, now what else do you want to put in that Hollow?! You better give up this time, or I'll cancel your contract!" Shouted King Lamiel in front of grandfather.

"It's so bad of you to me, Lamiel. And if 16 years ago I hadn't sacrificed my life and that of my granddaughter, the spirit world would have been torn apart by her! Now you're asking for that poor Hollow? I will not hand it over to you because it is my responsibility as the head of the Jordis family."

"Then if he is free, your world will also be destroyed! Khaha... Just free him and let both worlds be destroyed at the same time. All the psychics will also be destroyed, and their sins will be on your back!"

"Is that so?"

"GRANDFATHER!" My yelling.

Grandfather smiled when he heard my voice.

He then approached King Lamiel.

"Lamiel, I'm asking you one thing."

"Well?!"

"Was... Do you know the real name of the Devil in my grandson's left hand?"

King Lamiel looked surprised, he swallowed his own saliva.

"Lantas, do you know?"

"Look at my grandson's body, there's a red thread tied around his left hand and around his neck. You understand what that means, right?"

King Lamiel, wide-eyed, then so surprised he fell from the throne.

"Don't tell me your granddaughter can control it?"

Then Grandpa looked at me with a smile.

"Rey..."

I who understood the meaning of his words immediately approached King Lamiel, then put my left palm on his forehead.

"According to my grandfather's words or I'm gonna make him go berserk here." I said sternly as I stared intently at King Lamiel.

King Lamiel was glued for a few seconds until he finally gave up too.

"Well, I gave up. The Hollow girl belongs to you."
