The CURSE: Deadly Games

● TWENTY SIX ●

***

A well-built man who was lying on the soft bed opened his eyes slowly, occasionally blinking his eyes due to the white bright light emitted from the light bulb was so bright that it pierced his recently opened eyes weakly. Contrary to the reverse with his heart that was infested by the light of darkness, making him very upset.

After his perfectly opened pair of eyes found two pairs of eyes were glaring at him at the same time, suddenly made him surprised and immediately jumped freely on the bed and almost fell.

"Hey, hey, calm down, Vid," Baylor said, trying to calm down the still-shocked Favid.

"Don't come any closer!" favid snapped his hand toward the two, forbidding them to touch him.

"Favid, calm yourself down first" said Eleanor gently, slowly leading Javid to sit back on the edge of the bed.

After a while he had spent calming down, Favid began to make his voice again. "Okay, now try to explain from the beginning" he said with his eyes closed still trying to balance his breath.

"You sure you're ready?" ask Baylor be careful.

"Yes, I'm ready" said Favid slowly.

Baylor and Eleanor began to tell from the beginning until now how and since when Eleanor could turn into a monster which until now has not been known clearly the cause of the curse.

"How did that happen?" ask the Favid who does not understand completely.

"I myself do not know how I can be damned" said Eleanor slowly, her tears began to flow profusely over her thin cheeks.

"For that now we are trying to stop the curse. About a week ago we went looking for a witch and she said the only way out was the book" Baylor said, pointing to a book that had opened just a few pages.

"What do you mean stop? Monster or body missing?" ask Favid stammering.

"Both," said Eleanor and Baylor compact.

"Favid, did you promise you'd keep this a secret? Are you afraid of me?" eleanor asked in a sad tone, holding back the cry was too complicated and difficult for her despite the many times Baylor had tried to calm her down.

"Yes, I promise I will keep it a secret with all my efforts. I'm scared, but this isn't the time for that. I also know you'll still be good despite being a monster. Now tell me what I can help you with" said Favid, holding Eleanor's hand.

It not only made Eleanor uncomfortable, but also made Baylor widen her eyes wide. Fortunately Baylor tried to understand the current situation and be mature, not want to make it more precarious, otherwise the Favid will be beaten until battered to resemble an eel.

"We should be able to get into a game through that book. However, Baylor and I still do not understand how and what to do," said Eleanor as she pulled her hand out of Favid's grasp.

She then wiped her tears herself, trying not to let her tears spill more into her living container.

"The key is in the book and we're reading it. Once we find the key and go in and win it, then Eleanor will be free" Baylor said as she walked in.

"Well, we better start reading it. But, how can 3 people read 1 book?" asked Favid, it seems like his humorous nature is back on him.

"You are," said Eleanor, shaking her head slowly and a smile began to reach her face.

"Technology has advanced. If not used properly will pity the researcher and the inventor," said Baylor.

Then, Favid pulled his phone out of his pocket after hearing Baylor's suggestion and took pictures one by one of the pages of the book with his advanced phone.

While Eleanor and Baylor read it together until their faces almost stuck, making Javid jealous of their closeness. However, what power Favid, he was determined and promised that he would help Eleanor and Baylor, and would put his feelings aside first.

"This cannot be allowed, if they have won the game, then my beloved monster will be destroyed forever. We should be able to confiscate the book, wipe it off the face of the earth!" catoo snapped after hearing every detail and inch of his full story in a jarring tone of anger in the not-so-big tenement room.

"Think how. Do whatever it takes" whispered Catoo in Sofia's ear, making Sofia's hair stand on end.

"Alright, Prof!"

For hours, they read the book.

The short story of the book is the history of the creation of witches and evil curses. You want to know the story? All right, I'll tell you.

Centuries ago, a princess was born who illuminated an ordinary kingdom. The princess grew up to be a good person, and without realizing it she had all the power that could not be contained and could not be controlled. He used that power to help the eldest and the distressed in his kingdom until the land was prosperous and peaceful.

Until one day the princess accidentally met a young man at an annual festival. They become closer as they age and fall in love with each other. One day the young man told him the truth, that he was a prince in disguise from the next kingdom who was famous for his power. The kingdom is the largest and richest.

The prince wanted to ask the princess of a small and ordinary kingdom. The princess did not hesitate to accept it immediately and asked permission and blessing from both parents. When both of them want to return to the kingdom of the prince to ask for the blessing of marriage.

Arriving there, only bad news received, until the insult to the parents of the princess innocent was spoken from the mouths of her future husband's parents.

The princess could not help herself accepting the swearing about her family. His anger broke up to his great power which was only to help the people he could not hold back and ended up cursing the king and queen of the leading kingdoms.

From then on, the princess fled and established her own kingdom teaching curses and black magic to her followers. All this happened because his love never materialized.

A few hours later, all the contents of the book were revealed. However, the middle page was very strange. Not only the middle page, the last page of the book was full of mystery.

The middle page has an endless dark hole, and at the bottom right end there is the inscription 'cheri'.

"What does that mean?" ask Eleanor.

Now the three pairs of eyes meet each other in turn, do not understand the purpose and purpose of the word.

"Ele, didn't you like learning foreign languages? Try to remember a little" Baylor said.

"Cheri, cheri, cheri" said Eleanor, constantly focusing her attention on one word, trying to remember the meaning of the word because it was not foreign to her.

"Kefli, omos, ta podia, cheri. Handses! I remember now. Cheri means hand from Greek if I don't remember it wrong. Yes, hands!" exclaimed Eleanor, so happy that she jumped with excitement which was also accompanied by the smiles of the two people beside her.

He then tried to lay his hands on the black hole, trying all the positions, but still to no avail. It happened contrary to what they expected.

They jumped over the page first, to the end of the book, came the mystery of the mystery again. On the last page, two pictures were printed.

The first picture shows a witch with a black hat pointed to the right, looking at a small frog standing on a table.

While in the second picture there is another witch who is the same as the first, everything is the same just that the frog was enlarged, even his height exceeds the little witch.

Then ready is the journey of the book, which reads 'THE END' at the end of the book that leaves the resilience of various unsolved mysteries.

"What does that mean?"
