Mystery Mirror

The Long Night

Time has shown at 12 pm, but Enid is still awake. His eyes widened to stare at the female figure that suddenly emerged from under his bed. The woman in the blood-filled dress sailed Enid's body with her black, sticky hands. Her hair was unraveling and covering part of her broken face. Enid could not move, his body stiff even his mouth just gaping unable to make a sound. The woman's hand was moving her thighs, stomach, chest, to Enid's neck. His mouth grinned revealing his teeth that were full of fangs and blood. His sinister face was increasingly clearly seen by Enid who was just speechless. Her breath was stifled as the woman choked her neck. The tighter the woman's grip, the harder Enid breathes. The test! A drop of blood from the woman's mouth dripped in right at Enid's gaping mouth.

"Ohuk..uhuk..."

Enid woke up from his sleep after feeling his itchy throat. He sat on the side of the bed, rubbing his face.

"Astenghah! Good thing it's just a dream" muttered Enid then rose from his bed to fetch some drinking water. Unfortunately, he forgot to fill the water bottle on his desk. Slowly he came out of the room down the stairs to the kitchen. He glanced at the wall clock that showed 02:00. It deserves to be quiet, all the residents of this house are asleep. Just heard the sound of Enid's footsteps coming down the stairs. Suddenly he felt a figure following him. He fumbled at his neck which felt cold. Enid slowed his pace, his heart pounding faster than usual. Slowly, he ventured to look back.

"Huh.sorry" He was relieved that there was nothing there.

'Maybe this is just my feeling, because of the nightmare, ' Enid thought. He continued his steps towards the kitchen.

"Worthy of being cold, I forgot to close the window" Enid nagged himself to see the kitchen window still open. The large window faces directly into the grounds of Enid's house. From there he could clearly see the large mango tree planted by the previous owner of the house. It is said that the tree was made a place to hang himself by the owner of the house. Enid begins to remember the spooky story, he hurriedly closes the window and its curtains.

Enid's heart completely stopped when he turned around. The figure of the woman he saw in the dream now appeared before him. The woman was sitting at the dinner table, staring at Enid with her white eyes. Her lips full of blood revealed a grinning smile. He thrust a glass filled with a deep red liquid into Enid. Suddenly he was beside Enid and holding his hand.

With all his might Enid shook his hand. He ran in fear towards his parents' room. The woman still followed him with a terrible laugh. Without thinking long Enid immediately slipped behind the blanket, sneaking between his father and mother. His hands clenched tightly to the mother's stomach.

"Mom.... There's a ghost, mom! Enid's scared!" whispered while continuing to hold and close his eyes. But there was no answer, both Father and Mother remained fixated on his position.

"Mom..Mother..Fathering... Enid's scared! Enid sleeps here, huh?" tanya Enid wiggled her mother's body. There was no reaction from either. He felt something strange about the body he was holding. It felt like he was hugging a very dense bolster. Enid smelled a stench appearing around him. He slowly opened his eyes and realized that he was being flanked by two pocongs! His eyes blackened, his teeth sticking out, his entire face was filled with maggots. Enid screamed in fear! He was crying so much.

"Need... Enid... wake up, son! You why? Enid!"

Enid felt something shake his body. He opened his eyes and saw his panicked mother.

"Mom, there's a pocong ma'am!" enid said after he woke up to open his eyes. He immediately hugged his mother, making sure that this was no longer a dream. He groped every part of his mother's body. Complete.

"You're having nightmares, huh? Do not forget to pray before going to bed. Just drink first"

I gave a glass of water to Enid. After drinking he felt a little relieved. His breathing began to be regular.

"Mother sleeps here, accompany Enid"

Enid turned back and hugged his mother. Just as he was about to close his eyes, Enid remembered something. Remembering that this morning, both of his parents went out of town. They told Enid that they were staying. Enid's hair bristles, his heart again beats irregularly. Slowly he let go of his embrace.

"Lady..." Enid called out doubtfully. Cold sweat began to pour.

"Yes?" replied mother.

"Mother...do not become me..nginap?" tanya Enid stammered.

"Your father took you home directly. He said he felt sorry if you were home alone"

"Same father Mother.when to go home? Why doesn't Enid know?"

"When we got home, you were asleep. You forgot to lock the door, you know! So Mom and Dad can go in. Good thing we're home. If not, the door can not be locked. What time did you sleep? How tired it seems, until Dad does not have to wake up"

"Oh... Enid forgot, Mom. Yes.capek really finished the sports lessons in school"

"Your sleep until you forget to read the prayer. It was a nightmare! I'm sleeping, I'm still in school tomorrow, right?"

Enid was relieved, because she answered his question. He was sure that the woman was his mother. Enid hugged her mother again and tried to close her eyes again. Especially as usual, mom always gives a soothing pat on Enid's ass. Like putting a big baby to sleep.

When Enid began to fall asleep, he said he listened to his mother sing a song. His voice was so soft that it made Enid even more lulled. But the sound was getting longer and more slashing. The lyrics of the song were so sad.

Enid woke up feeling something strange. He sharpened his ears, trying to hear the song of the mother.

'Ain't! This is not Mom's voice'

Enid was sure it wasn't his mother's voice. More convinced because he remembered that his mother could not sing as much. The song sung by the woman made the fur crouch. Enid shuffled in fear. He was about to let go of his embrace. The more he moved, the stronger the woman's embrace resembled his mother's. The clap of his hand felt so heavy, so cold. Enid could no longer scream. He was just crying in fear in the woman's arms.

"Ssttt. Sleep Son. Sleep quietly" whispered the woman right in Enid's ear. His cold breath so gripping spread to Enid's body. Frightened him.

That night was long for Enid. He tried to keep his eyes closed but in vain. The woman's grip made her unable to move. He could only cry all night. Hope the morning comes soon.
