TERROR

|05| NAILS AND HAIR

Now I'm at school. My eyes are scanning the furniture in the sports hall. The patches of human blood and skin and hair that were there a few days ago have been cleaned.

I stared intently at the passing man in front of the sports hall. My attention was focused on my eldest brother and my second brother who were drinking instant coffee on the bench provided there. While seriously observing my two brothers, I heard footsteps behind me.

I turned around and found Abel hugging me from behind. ''I don't admire you like that. What if I have a heart attack?'' I asked a little kidding. Abel puffed his cheeks a sign he was upset. ''If you have a heart attack then I will be executed by your father.'' Her speech.

I chuckled a little, then realized that Abel was carrying a pile of kitchen knives in his school. ''Why are you carrying such a knife?'' My toot. ''Your vision is very sharp, Claude. This is Mr.'s order. Sony, for cooking class later. He said suddenly the knife in the school kitchen disappeared all.'' Obviously Abel.

Wait, 'disappear all' ? Wasn't yesterday when Laps and I went to school to get his apron the knife was still in place? Now all those knives are gone?

''All? You sure?'' My question is convincing. Abel nodded, then put on a confused face. ''The knife still exists. How are they missing?'' Mumbles. Damn my murmur was heard by Abel.

''Why do you know that the knife was still there yesterday? Did you go to school yesterday?'' Abel asked suspiciously.

''I went to school yesterday with Laps. Take the apron.'' My speech. Abel's face suddenly changed. ''CIEEE!!'' Shouted Abel, the shout made some students look at Abel. I closed Abel's mouth and grabbed his ear.

Abel just smiled a little shitty. ''Come on, let's put these knives. Then we eat!'' He said while pulling my hand. I agree with Abel's invitation.

In the kitchen

''Wow! This meat knife is so beautiful! Glory family company is indeed great!'' Puji Mis's. Furis. ''Hehe..thank you.'' From his face Abel looks happy because his family is praised.

After asking permission from Mis. Furi we went to the canteen. We, rather Abel ordered food there. After that we sat on a bench in the corner of the canteen. Abel ordered 'Full Madame'. I ordered chocolate pudding because I had breakfast this morning.

By the way 'Full Madame' is a typical Egyptian breakfast menu cooked with fava beans, chickpeas, slices of garlic and lemon as well as boiled eggs. Well, it looks good.

While we were eating deliciously Laps came side by side with Posen. Laps carried a tray containing 'Beef Steak', while Posen carried a tray containing several pieces of 'Syrniki'. 'Sriniki' is a cheese pancake commonly eaten for Russian breakfast.

''Hello!'' Greet Laps with a smile on her face. ''Hai Hidiandra brothers.'' Sapa Abel's. ''Can we sit here?'' Ask Posen. Abel nodded. Laps and Posen sat in front of me and Abel.

''Claude wants me a bribe?'' Laps asked as he cut the steak meat and then directed it into my mouth. I devoured the piece of meat quickly, then turned my face away from Laps.

From the corner of my eye I saw Laps smiling happily. ''Cieee...'' Abel grabbed my shoulder and shook it slowly. ''I know you will get married soon. But don't make out at school.'' Posen mendesus upset? ''You will also be arranged in a few months. Be patient.'' Laps patted his sister's back.

Posen took his breath. Then he ate his 'Syrniki', ''Claude, will you?'' Tawar Posen then thrust a piece of 'Syrniki' at me. I received that Russian cheese pancake. ''Thank you.'' said. I ate the pancakes and propped up my chin with my hands and sighed boredly.

After we finished eating we went back to class. Class hasn't started yet, probably hours are empty. Because it was passing through Mr.'s teacher's room. Bonya is not. While cooking classes will be held in lesson 4.

''...de! Claude! Claude!''

I turned to Abel carrying a thick book with French writing on the cover. ''Yes, why?'' I'm going to Abel. Abel puffed up next to her cheek. ''What are you thinking about? Until I ignore you!'' Abel's tone looked upset but his face looked funny. ''I didn't think of anything. And I apologize for ignoring you.'' I put a soft face on Abel. Abel returned as usual.

He put the book in front of me. Then open page one of the book. I looked confusedly at Abel. As if understanding Abel explained.

''I came across the name 'BLACKBURN' while reading this book. My guess is we can find the people who are terrorizing you by looking for the person who borrowed this book. You know the name 'BLACKBURN' is not used very often unlike 'Abel', 'Mia' , 'Rina', 'Brenda'. And others are.''

I looked at Abel in admiration. ''Can you find a book like this at school? You're so great.'' My speech. Abel smiled brightly. ''Since it's empty now instead of better use it to go to the library?'' My toot. ''Nice idea! With that we're quicker to find the terror.'' Abel immediately stood up and pulled me into the library. I did not forget to bring the book.

Until the library I explored books on history, serial killer, dark fantasy, and horror. While Abel checks books about comedy, romance, fantasy, and family.

But the name 'BLACKBURN' only we got from one dark fantasy themed book. While reading the book we found only one similarity to the book Abel had brought before.

That is...

The killer, it turns out, is the main character's friend in the story.

I quickly checked the card that was usually used to write anyone who borrowed the book. And what I found was directly compared to the book Abel had brought before.

Book 1

Mikaela R. (9 January)

Sho Y's. (14 January)

Glory A's. (30 May)

Derothy V. A. (30 June)

Book 2

Derothy V. A. (30 May)

Glory A's. (30 June)

Sho Y's. (5 July)

Yura S's. (14 September)

I'm shocked. Really shocked. Unlike when Posen taunted me, right now my thoughts are mixed. I can't think straight.

''Claude are you good?'' Abel asked, holding my trembling shoulders. My eyes began to blur I had to settle this matter immediately!

But who did it?! Abel whom I have always trusted and told all my complaints about? My foster sister who even when we talked for just a few minutes? The upperclassman we've never even met or greeted each other before? Wh who? Who is?! WHO'S?!

''Claude? Claude!? CLAUDE?!''

I looked over and found that not only was Abel there. Laps and Posen were also there while calling my name repeatedly.

''Claude? Why are you crying?'' Ask Posen. I touched my cheek, there was a tear path that seemed to be still flowing. I tried to calm myself. Then Laps hugged me. ''Relax, I'm here. There we are here. So if you get into trouble tell us.'' Laps gently stroked my head.

Then he kissed my forehead and wiped the trail of tears with his hands.

''So what is it?'' Ask Posen.

Abel calmly explained my problem.

**Please let readers think from now on. And who really did it? And what was the motive of the perpetrator to terrorize Claude that even his fate had been so bad?

Just wait :v

Hehe**...
