Title: The Dark Fire 2 (Nightmare Part 1)

“Then the Green Fire Lord disappeared without a trace there. After the shock, everything in there was unconscious. And after the Demon Spy, he immediately woke up the Hero of Earth. Hero Bumipun immediately wake up and look for Princess Edelweis. Princess Edelweis is dying. Seeing that, the Hero of Earth directly approached him. He also slipped a letter to the Earth Hero. After that, Princess Edelweis left for eternity,”

“Wait, Dad. Why should Princess Edelweis leave? Isn't it in fairy tales that they usually live happily ever after?” My Tukas quickly stopped Dad's story. Smiling father.

“The story is like this, Leyna.”

“Dad, is the world of Vampires true?” Ask me the same question for the umpteenth time.

“Leyna, how many times do I have to tell you. The world of Vampires does not exist. It's just a fairy tale,” Father said. I also put my lips.

“I think it's true, Dad. You don't believe that?”

“Leyna, I shouldn't have read you a fairy tale. You're nine years old. You can't think rationally yet,”

“Dad always said like that,” Complaints me while sneering.

Dad laughed softly.

“Hahah, Leyna. No, don't think about that vampire anymore. It's getting late now. You sleep yes,” Father said as he rubbed my hair.

“Father accompany Leyna sleep yes,” My love. Dad shook his head slowly.

“Dad's son is already big. Sleep period should be accompanied,”

“I'm afraid the Vampire will come here, Dad,”. I laughed again.

“Daddy's son is weird. Never mind, you're asleep, Leyna.”

My father moved out of my room that was not wide. Before he came out, he turned off the light switch first.

Every night, Dad used to read me a fairy tale. And for some reason, fairy tales about Black Fire always make me feel weird. I've told you that story three times. But I always wanted to listen to him again. If I listen to that story, it feels like there's something weird about me. I don't know what's interesting about that story? I don't know what my relationship is and what story is? But clearly, I felt a connection between me and the story. Like there's something in common between me and that story. I don't know?

“Brakk,”

The window suddenly opened. The wind gushed out to blow away the weak glass curtain hanging there. A black shadow depicting a high-winged figure reflected on the wall of my room was white. Slowly, the shadow grew bigger. The bigger that means getting closer to me.

I pulled out my blanket so that it covered part of my face except for my eyes. My gaze was wild looking for the figure in the shadow. My body shivered in fear as I felt cold sweat flood my face. My teeth were shaking when I saw a scary figure standing in front of my window. He's ringing at me.

“Do not! That's not Vampire!”

I pulled out my blanket so that it covered my whole body. Still trembling to hear the sound of the leg pounding getting louder. I close my eyes so I can't see that scary figure. I taper my body into a U-like shape to make it quieter.

Slowly, the figure began to shake my blanket. I'm not kaluan. She squeezed the hard end of my blanket. I was still nervous while continuing to tremble. Quickly, he pulled my blanket. And in a moment,

“Aaaaaa VAMPIRE!”

—

I swung my hand to connect the strands of letters with black ink. I was busy with my own work. A job that is just a waste of time.

The eyes of those around me look at me vilely. Ahh is ordinary. Not a few of them treated me more than a vile look. They always stayed away from me on the grounds that I was a freak. They also thought that I was the undead. With my pale white skin. And my face is like expressionless, they think I'm not human. Especially my red lips. Precisely blood red. They often think I'm a bloodsucker.

“Can't you not be prejudiced against me!? I'm not an UNDEAD or a FREAK! I don't want to be treated like this!” I screamed while holding the book on the table.

Everyone turned their backs on me. They all thought I was crazy. Am I really CRAZY?! Not me! THEY ARE!

With the same look they looked at me. Looking at me STRANGEly, looking at me VILE. Is there not one human who can understand my feelings a little more than DAD? Huh uh?! Is it?!

I sneered and walked out of the cursed room. Class itself. My teeth bite my own lips holding back the crying. I HATE THEM!

I took my step to the school garden. It was far from my class. The park includes the school center. However, his condition was always desolate.

I threw my body away and sat at the end of the garden. I sweep the whole garden. Everyone in the park is leaving. One by one they began to disappear from my hands. I laughed too.

“Hahah, I know! They won't accompany you, Leyna! You're such A FREAK! You're like an UNDEAD! You're not HUMAN either! You're fucking CRAZY! G-I-L-A! You're not NORMAL!” Saying myself.

They - the people I hate - are looking at me vilely again. Leave it! If that's what they want, what right do I have to forbid them? Stare at me vilely, scorn me. That's their right.

“Are you going to stay that way? Are you going to let him?”

A voice suddenly burst into my eardrum.

“Who are you?” My toot. The young man just smiled wryly.

“Can't you read the name tag on my uniform?” Her speech.

I also began to turn my eyes towards the name tag in his uniform. Aland. Yep. His name is Aland. But that name is no stranger to me.

“What's up? You feel familiar with my name?”

“I shouldn't have spoken to a stranger like you. Especially people who like to read other people's minds!” I sat up and stood up and intended to leave him.

“Go away! You're really weird!” His word.

I stopped my steps and faced him.

“If you meet me just to say I'm ‘ANEH’, don't come to me again! I don't like you!” I snapped and left in front of him.

“Why do they think I'm WEIRD, I'm CRAZY? Why?!” Bantink.

“Can't you adapt a little to the people around you, Leyna!” Say someone.

I turned my gaze backwards. Looks like a piece of meat is standing and putting a smile on me.

“Adapting? How can I adapt to all of them? They always demean me! Scorned me! You can talk to me easily. While I can't. If you were me, how would you do?!” Jerk me again.

The smile on his lips began to fade. I just stared at him cynically. Anybody understands. I feel uncomfortable around him. Soon she passed from before me. I also do something similar with him. Passed from him.

“Daddy, why am I named Leyna?”

“Because you're like a little angel to Dad,”

“Can I be a little angel for others too?”

“Of course you can. You are an angel to everyone,”

“That's right, Dad?”

“Of course,”

The conversation was still ringing in my ear. A conversation six years ago with my father. Six years ago. I was only nine years old then. When I was the innocent. I still don't understand what's really in my body. Until now, I have not understood.

“Why does the shadow of the Vampire always come to me? What mean? Why did I become a panaroid? Why was it because of that I was shunned by everyone? Do I look like a bad guy?

“Leyna,” Call Dad suddenly.

I also immediately fulfilled his call. I started to get out of my room. When I opened the door, I stopped for a moment.

I turned my eyes to the back.

“I called you, Leyna?”

Instantly, my mouth was gaping. That figure is touching my shoulder. Body shaking.

“I called you. Not Your Dad!” Say again.

My sweat falls off. Rigid body. My tongue. Sayu's eyes. He hypnotized me. He almost knocked me unconscious.

Slowly, I ventured to question the creature.

“Si.. sia... What are you!?” Tanyaku. That figure touched both my shoulders.

“Say! Who are you?”

“You don't know me? I was your childhood friend. Best friend, friend who gave you the most beautiful memories of your life,”

“What do you mean the happiest memories? The finest? Childhood friend? None of that is on me! My memories only make a rumble in my brain. Only bitter in my heart! All that is bad! All of this makes me feel bad! Making dupus my future!” My atonement. The figure suddenly laughed crisply.

“Hahaha! You won't have a future! How could? You're DEAD Leyna! DIE!” Her speech. Matakupun glared in shock. What's he saying?

“Repeat your words!”

“You are DEAD! Don't you remember six years ago? Can't remember that time! Remember that? Just remember Mr Princess!” Her speech.

He let go of his touch. Instantly, my body squeezed. I sat down on the floor. I sweep the whole view. Everywhere there are VAMPIRES.

“Daddy, why don't the Black Fire stories mention their names? For example, a spy named Gracia,”

“Their names cannot be mentioned, Leyna.”

“But it will be better in its pronunciation. I don't like it if their names aren't mentioned. Oh yeah Dad, where does the Vampire-Vampire live?”

“Erif Krad's. There they live. Scariest place,”

“Where did Dad know?”

—

“I'm Vampire! You Vampire! He's Vampire! We're all Vampires! Hahaha?!”

The figure kept chasing me in the dark. I don't know where I am now? This place is very dark and full of big trees. I could only run away trying to get away from that Vampire thing. Am I in Erif Krad? What did you say was the creepiest place? But why am I here?

“DARK FIRE! DARK FIRE!” His shouting.

My eyes swirled around looking for that exclaiming figure. My vision now is out of nowhere. Am I having a bad dream? Am I on my way to hell? Or am I on the way to death? I don't know, I don't know.

“Srttt,”

“Aaaa!”

An arrow slipped comfortably towards my foot. I almost fell off this high cliff. Fortunately the arrow just missed. Fortunately, the arrow did not strike.

Tonight is a night of great struggle. In fact, I had to climb this cliff with my hands and nails in my own hands. And the crazy thing is raining!

“Arrgghhh!!”

My hand kept clutching the cliff rocks. Even if it hurts, I can't die. Especially dying in this place. This is not my place. I seem to have fallen. Yep. Falling into the death hole.

“FEEL YOUR NIGHTMARES, LEYNA!”

His voice echoed to all corners of the place. His voice was loud and terrible. Sure oes. A horrible person deserves to live in a horrible place like this.

Finally, with all the strength I have, I can escape from this steep cliff. Even though my hands were hot and sore, it was no big deal to me. The problem is, the Vampire is darting towards me!

“Aaaaa!”

I screamed as I continued to run away from the crazy Vampire. Wait, whoa. I flew. I really did fly. It's dreaming. Really dream. But why can't I wake up?

—

“A.. well?” Ask weak. Instantly, Dad glared in shock.

“Leyna? Is this true you, dear?”

“It's Leyna, Dad!” My speech.

My father hugged me tightly while sobbing. I really don't understand what's going on. Feeling, nothing happened to me yesterday. Maybe it was just the ridicule of those crazy people.

“You don't stay in Dad,”

“Dad also don't stay in Leyna. Leyna has no friends other than Dad,”.

He nodded while holding both of my shoulders. He looked at my pale face. He smiled and hugged me again. Slowly, my hands hugged Dad.

“I haven't hugged Dad in a long time. Probably last time six years ago,”

—

I was looking at the cloudless blue sky this afternoon. Yeah, without the clouds. The sky today is so different from yesterday. My heart is different too. I feel a little comfortable today.

I looked up to the perfect sky today. The sky looks lonely. Yep. She's lonely. He was alone without clouds. Like me. Alone without friends.

“I still want to be your friend, Leyna.” Excite someone.

I'll take my look. Aland was sitting behind me. I also returned to my starting position.

“Oh yes. I'm sorry about yesterday I called you weird,”

“Tak problems. I'm used to that taunting anyway. You're the only one who's said weird to me once. And maybe that was never just Dad,” I said without looking at him.

He took a step and sat down beside me.

“Your face looks pale. Do You Sick?” Ask her. I also just shook my head.

“My face is like this,”

“I know what you're thinking,” He said instantly.

I also turned my eyes to him. Is he an Indigo? Or is he a psychologist? I don't know.

“Read it Mr. mind reader. Usually you read my mind without permission,”

“Hahah. I'm not good at reading other people's minds. Oh yeah, this is for you. You can make it as an outpouring of your heart,” He said.

I also received the things he gave me. It's just a book. More precisely diary. After I picked up the book, Aland left me alone. But there is one question in my brain. Why am I being nice to Aland?

—

“I am a mystery. Mysteries I don't know myself. I don't know who I am? I myself never knew. I have three personalities. And all three I don't know. I don't get it. Who exactly am I? Do I have to be born and live on earth? But, I feel unsuitable to live on earth. I don't know where it should be. I don't know, I don't know, and I don't know.

I look like a fool. Someone must know who he is. But me? I'm still a mystery. A mystery that never ends.

If my life is a delusion, then there is only one true. Because I feel like there are three of my lives. And one of the three, it's real. The other, delusion.

I don't know if I'm real now or not? All I know is, the delusion you can see. And another one, delusion can be transformed into reality.”

“Pukk!”

I also kept the book under my desk. Immediately, I threw myself into my bed. Without me noticing, the diary that Aland gave me opened suddenly. And in the book it says,

“Your fantasy is real. This is Fiction,”

I walked slowly into an area that did not know where. When I was just walking following the sunrise, I was in this place. This place is secluded. The situation of this place seems haunted. Many stumps of stone around it. Wait, stump of stone? Am I at the funeral? The funeral collapsed? And that stump of stone is a headstone?

I put my feet towards the end of this place. My hair gets a little goosebumps when it passes around. Seen, a standing building covered in vines.

Slowly, I began to pluck out the plants that were blocking the building. And when I look, it's a crate. And it turns out to be true, I was at a funeral.

Slowly, I began to pull the door open. But that door did not open. Seen, a circle there. Some of these circles are no longer round in shape. I also put my five fingers into five circles that are still intact. Two of them are broken.

After I put my hand in, the circle rotated close to the largest circle. Soon, I'll take my hand out of there. And I let go, for a moment,

“Kyaaaa!”

seriated.
