Capítulo 12: Another Attack On The Core Of The Universe
An exterminator with a red flame on his body snorted from a distance. "Damn, that monster was a water one. My elements don't match him. Otherwise, I would've destroyed him with my own hands. "
…
As the sun nearly set the residents were instructed that there was nothing bad to worry about. The Musi Lake Team had carried out a thorough inspection of the entire lake area and made sure that the lake's safety was under control.
Without saying what happened, even though Daniel honestly knew that the Musi Lake Team would not find anything, they had already returned to the office where they worked. The white van that was carrying them was already marching down the gentle streets of Noland City to cut through the crowd toward the center of the city.
Daniel didn't move much. He walked slowly to follow the Musi Lake Team as if he wanted to follow them to find another safety. The residents mingled and watched. They have taken out their gadgets for the sake of recording and doing other personal documentation, it was so different when the water monster attack happened, they didn't move and just ran away.
Even though the security was under control, the teams emphasized that the residents still had to keep their distance from the lake area at least until another statement came out of the Musi Lake Team. From that statement, Daniel knew that the teams were indeed confused.
Wendy dragged her body from inside the house at half-past seven in the evening. By then both she and Daniel had returned home. Dinner had not been prepared, and Wendy was reluctant to do so. Instead, she reached for ready-made food which consisted of canned biscuits and sandwiches that she could find in the kitchen. Wendy shared it equally with Daniel, who had no appetite.
Wendy puffed up her face when she got a rejection from Daniel who shook his head indifferently when she handed her a substitute snack for dinner. Wendy, who at that time found Daniel sitting on the porch of the house, now joined her distant cousin.
"What are you waiting for? I called Uncle Ted. He heard the news about a fake tsunami at Musi Lake, so he decided to return as soon as possible. But now that he is far away, Uncle Ted can't promise to come quickly, "said Wendy, who was currently chewing her tin biscuits greedily.
Her big, slightly protruding eyes were now enjoying the night view of the damp grass in the yard of the house that was always trimmed neatly by Uncle Ted. Uncle Ted was a man who liked tidiness even though his appearance is far from neat.
Daniel didn't even glance at Wendy as she said, "Where did Uncle Ted go today? Did he say something to you? " Daniel grabbed a nearby small pebble and threw it forward as if he were throwing a stone in the middle of the water to put on a show.
Wendy shrugged. "I don't know, he didn't say anything to me either. But don't you worry, among the three of us Uncle Ted is the strongest one. So he will make it home. "
"It's not him I'm worried about, it's us."
Daniel's words instantly made Wendy freeze, especially when she heard Daniel's very serious and deep tone of voice. Wendy knew that Daniel was a serious boy, but she quite knew when that seriousness showed signs of approaching danger.
"Do you have a bad feeling?" asked Wendy, starting to worry. The biscuits and snacks in her hand had lost his appetite. Suddenly, her stomach, which had been very hungry, was full and felt bloated. Wendy became very uncomfortable.
Although reluctant to admit it, Daniel finally nodded. "Yes, I do have a bad feeling tonight. And the worst thing is that no adult can look after us. Our most reliable neighbor has already left for another city, while our uncle will return home at an unknown time. Where do you think if anything happens where we can go, Wend? We don't even have a single vehicle we can use to escape."
Wendy started to panic. She then immediately went to go to the garage of the house. As her eyes wildly combed through the dark area now lit by the lights, Wendy's sigh of relief began to sound loud. "There's a bicycle here, Dan. Does that answer your fear? "
No, of course not!
After Wendy returned to sit beside him, Daniel asked earnestly. "Can't we stay over at one of your friends' houses? Can't we just stay overnight at Serry's? "
Wendy's face became very gloomy. The spots on her face suddenly disappeared, swallowed up by the pale aura that assaulted her. "Serry and her family fled to another city for a while, at least for tonight or maybe more. Because of that incident, the school was closed too, so… "
Daniel squeezed his head. Soon he remembered something. Prof. Ian! Should Daniel contact him? But when he remembered some of the holographic shapes Daniel had caught with his eyes, he suddenly became very doubtful. So for the night Daniel tried to get rid of his negative thoughts, went to sleep while waiting for Uncle Ted to return.
Daniel and Wendy chose to sleep in the same room. That room used to be the room that belonged to the two of them before they started sleeping separately because they were adults. Given that it was a night that may be dangerous, with Uncle Ted's permission and also by mutual agreement, they gathered in one bedroom to sleep and look after each other.
Before going to bed, Wendy had the statement, "Dan, if you see something strange or hear something, then scream. I'll wake up and we can run away together. Okay? "
Taking a very heavy breath and also a little worried Daniel nodded.
That night Daniel had trouble sleeping, one of the reasons was the anxiety that kept haunting him. Not to mention the appearance of a water monster that became a ghost inside his head so that it continued to appear and disturbed his calm.
The sky outside was bright with the moon shining very brightly. Amid all that brightness, Daniel's heart and mind were clouded by clouds. In the end, he could fall asleep even though in the middle of the night Daniel woke up because his chest felt torn again. It felt like a knife had hit his heart repeatedly.
The core of the universe was finally getting hit again, even after he had gotten better for some reason. Daniel did not know that some dark energy from the monsters around him, could threaten his current life, which was still unprotected due to the universe core in his unawakened body.
Daniel was hysterical, screaming and screaming very loudly. Wendy, who was fast asleep and snoring, woke up stuttering. After being able to collect her scattered life, she immediately dashed from her bed to go to the bed where Daniel is now curled up in pain.
"Dan, what is it? Are you in pain? " Wendy asked very nervously. She hurriedly looked for a switch to turn on the light. When the bright light filled her eyes, Wendy gasped to find Daniel's very pale face. Daniel's body shook violently and also started convulsing.
Wendy was confused. Shel shouted for help repeatedly but her voice seemed to be trapped so that she was unable to wake her neighbor who had a house at least thirty meters from their house. Until finally Wendy decided to call 911 to get help.
"Hello? Can you come over to Teddy Simon's house? I'll send you the location point. My cousin is in pain!" Wendy hastily hung up the phone and ran to get to Daniel. When Wendy's eyes could find Daniel's figure on the bed, it turned out that he had passed out because he was too weak.
Wendy confused, shook Daniel's body repeatedly while crying. In the midst of all that, Wendy tried her best to calm down and wait while positioning Daniel not to get short of breath.
Meanwhile, outside the window, on an apple tree planted by Uncle Ted, a shadow flashed and hung. The shadow was now curled up on the ground with a watchful eye currently monitoring Wendy and Daniel from outside the window.
