The CURSE: Deadly Games

● THIRTY SEVEN ●

"Ele, I'll go upstairs, and I'll throw the clue down. You'll collect, yes," Baylor said.

Then, he clenched his hands tightly so as not to touch the stairs which might cause more fire, and he began to climb the stairs which exceeded the length of many times his height.

It took quite a long time until he reached the top of the stairs to retrieve the clue that was still pierced with a nail. It was not only the length of the stairs that made it long to reach him, but his pair of palms that he could not use at this time aggravated the action of climbing and peaking it.

"Uhhh, uhhh," Baylor exclaimed as he tried to retrieve a clue that was very close to him. However, this useless palm did not help so he had to use all of his movement members to drop the clue onto the floor as planned.

From below, Eleanor saw that with all kinds of sweat, her heart pounding very quickly. Salty sweat due to the increasingly hot room temperature and cold sweat because they guess whether they can get the clue. He was constantly wiping away each of his sweaty whorls that continued to flow incessantly.

"Ele! Ele! The clue fell down," cried Baylor in excitement who had managed to drop his hints that were glued from above until his entire body trembled and lost balance.

"Ohhhhhh!"

Baylor fell from a height! His hand floated in the air and tried to grab everything he could possibly hold onto even though it would definitely trigger embers to appear before him.

"Baby!!!"

"What am I supposed to do?" muttered Eleanor quickly. His feet stomped the wooden floor of his footing frantically while searching for something in the room that could at least help Baylor's sudden landing.

Baylor's body plunged faster than the paper that led them to the next round.

"Pleasee!" mummified Eleanor. His eyes he closed so afraid something happened with Baylor, while both hands clenched him stretched forward, getting ready to hold Baylor's body that fell from a very high place so as not to be seriously injured. Yes, although crazy, although he could have broken his hand, but he had no other choice.

Baylor only resignedly saw his body that could not be controlled. He only hoped for a miracle to happen in a time like this without knowing Eleanor was acting crazy under him.

Bruck!!

The sound of someone's body touching the hard of a good quality wooden floor.

***

Bruk!!!

The sturdy body of the two poor security men again collapsed on the floor due to their unconscious condition due to the spell given by Isabelle.

I don't know since when, but Isabelle's eye bead that was originally grayish-black turned red, like burning embers. Just like his eyes, his heart was also filled with a sense of vengeance that never disappeared, even more so.

He did not expect that a young man who was only the age of corn could escape from his grasp, even bringing a run with him and the book he so desired.

It seems like he has to think of another way out. He couldn't let that damned kid out of the game. If he came out safely, he would burn him alive, he would kill him with his own hands and taste the blood and fresh flesh of the damned girl.

"YOU CAN'T WIN!!!"

"E-Ele?" ask Baylor. He immediately stood up and dragged his knees toward Eleanor who was lying on her side earlier.

Yes, Eleanor managed to catch half Baylor's body while herself had to be injured scratched with the floor.

"Ele, Ele!" baylor shouted as he shook Eleanor's shoulder.

"www!" peekik Eleanor was in pain.

"Stupid!" angered Baylor sees Eleanor willing to get hurt for her sake.

"Haha. It's okay, just a little scratch. If you had fallen could have had her head leaked," martial Eleanor confirmed her actions. He still had a happy smile even though he was injured in a way that was ridiculous.

Baylor remained unhappy at Eleanor's reply. Puckered her lips, she helped Eleanor stand up and blew away the fine scratches on Eleanor's arm due to the friction with the floor earlier.

"Lor, why is it getting hotter?" ask Eleanor. Sweat from earlier had not even been around all, now even hotter until it felt like his body was about to melt.

Baylor felt the same way, especially his left forehead. He wiped it with the back of his hand and accidentally saw ....

"Wowwww!"

"There's ap-Hahhhh?" eleanor was full of shock.

***

He lamented his own fate since his only daughter left him for no apparent reason. The reason given is very unreasonable: want to live independently. It's just that, even if he wanted to live independently, why was the only family he had left in the city of Delson alone? Can't he live on another roof but still be in the same city?

Jaydenn was unable to understand the thoughts of his beloved daughter. He had no one but Eleanor. He really misses his daughter who he has cared for himself since infancy.

For him, being single-parent and caring for a girl to adulthood alone was no big deal. He will not make the child lack the affection of the parents. And sure enough, Eleanor's childhood was very happy, even arguably the affection she got from her father was very abundant.

"See Papa soon, Minori."

***

One side of the wall burned, but not directly across that side. The fire spread slowly until almost the entire side was all burned and the possibility of spreading on the other side was arguably very large.

"Ele! Hurry along! We have to hurry!" baylor. "Hint! Yeah, where's the lead?"

Both of these times move faster mixed with the feeling of panic seeing the fire that is getting faster than before.

"That!" eleanor exclaimed as she pointed at a small yellow gray paper.

They approached and crouched down, looking down to see the writing on the clues. Because it is impossible for them to lift with their fingers to read it.

"'You underestimated me. If I intend to be evil, your life will be directly in my hands and my family.' What does that mean, Lor?" ask Eleanor.

"'It's a pity, even I'm a you can't survive.' That's right, Ele. How can what you're reading be so different from what I'm reading?" Baylor said, correcting Eleanor's reading error.

"No, Lor. I'm sure many times I've read the same" Eleanor said.

"No, Ele. You wrong. This sentence is written very clearly here."

"No! Read carefully. I'm sure I'm right!" exclaim Eleanor. He had begun to grow angry with Baylor who had continued to read wrongly. Yet how many years he has lived in this world by continuing to read from childhood.

"I'm sure, Ele. It's like I read it. Never mind, let's go straight to the other clue. The fire grew bigger," Baylor asked as his eyes circulated towards the fire that had begun to spread to the other side.

Both of them moved the ladder as quickly as possible and again Baylor climbed it. This time the spirit is more burning along with the fire that also continues to burn while spreading.

"Ele! Catch her!" baylor shouted from up there and he began to come down to shorten his time. There was no longer a word of having a moment in his brain at this moment, it would only be a waste of his time.

Suddenly, a fire on their right side appeared out of nowhere and began to grow bigger again as a photo hint fell.

"Lor, the wall was also burning, but not the result of spreading from that side" he shouted at Baylor who was still trying to decrease level by level.

Baylor only glanced at it and indeed saw another fire, then he immediately descended back down.

"There's no time, Ele. We can't keep thinking about the fire. Quickly look at the clues," he shouted in remembrance of Eleanor.

When he got to the floor, he went straight to Eleanor and her guide.

"What did you get from the lead?" ask Baylor. He had not seen the photo yet but first found out the results of Eleanor's observations.

"There's nothing, Bay. Just soil with a small hole" he explained.

"Yes, what does that mean? Why is it so hard." Baylor was so frustrated that he wanted to throw everything in the room.

"Oh yes, Lor. Could it be that the more clues we get, the more flames appear everywhere?" ask Eleanor. In an instant it occurred to him as he stared at the fire that appeared suddenly without fire on the other side spreading there.

"Could it? Then we have to take the padlock. It looks like the lock is our key to getting out of here" Baylor said.

Then the two recalled the two clues they had obtained earlier and directly pushed the ladder near the padlock.

Without further ado, Baylor climbs it as soon as possible. This padlock is faster to fall because there is a hole in the padlock that hangs on the nail so it only needs to be pushed the padlock has fallen.

"How's Ele?" asked Baylor who was still struggling with his ladder in the middle.

"This padlock uses a combination of letters, Lor," he replied.

"really? How much-" Baylor's mouth was stunned and unwilling to close looking at that light.

"Bay, ki-we have to how?" lirih Eleanor was also aware of that.
