Hesitating, Nada swallowed hard. She stared at the stairs, tilting her head to see the second floor of the house where her room was.
Is this serious? Should she come back to set foot there? Nada didn't know what would happen to her. The arrow that just a moment ago had almost hit her, considering that was certainly terrifying.
"Yes, how can that be?" She asked herself, holding up both her bags as if to brace herself for what she had said earlier.
I don't know what triggered the creature in the glass dimension. She had tried her best not to make a sound, but 'they' still knew of her existence. Not to mention, Nada chose not to appear in front of the mirror, but somehow 'they' could also sense Nada's presence perfectly.
Exhaling, she had no conclusions about any of this.
Living with the shadow of the terrifying black creature, really couldn't make her come to terms with life.
Finally, she tried to strengthen her heart with a breath that seemed to dispel the anxiety in her heart.
One foot had already stepped on the first step, and suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist.
"AAAAAA LEAVE ME ALONE AND DON'T KILL ME!!!" She shouted so loudly that she even struggled to keep the hand from holding her back.
"Why you? Who would want to kill a freak girl like you? I changed my mind and wanted to accompany you."
Hearing that baritone voice made Nada's rebellious body feel weak, gosh, what a shame! With a style that turned cold again while clearing her throat, she returned to her behavior while turning around to look at the person nearby.
In her heart, Nada was very grateful because, in the end, Alex wanted to come with her. "Why do you suddenly want to accompany me to my bedroom?" She asked, of course asking first.
Alex released his grip on Nada's wrist, then shrugged. "Come to think of it, spending time alone in your house feels pretty scary. So maybe we should just stick together, I don't know," he answered.
It might sound like a coward when a man is afraid of the unseen, right? but that's not what Alex meant, he felt a different air that made his mind branch. He felt his back shiver, he felt that this was not the usual goosebumps that in the next minute would disappear.
Nada nodded. She who is the owner of the house can also feel what Alex is saying, maybe she should tell her father about moving house again, she is not comfortable here.
"But you don't act too much, okay?" She warned. Yes, Nada still feels that she has to keep her distance from Alex because after all in this fairly large house she is alone with a man, vigilance must remain number one.
Alex looked at Nada with a strange look in his eyes, after which he seemed to roll his eyes. "A lot of behavior how? I also will not act strange with you," he answered lazily. Then he even quickened his pace until he finally stopped footsteps in front of the door with the name 'Nada' on it.
"Could you come into my bedroom first? Just come in, Alex."
"This is your room, it's rude if I go in first."
Nada nodded she didn't mind if Alex came in first. And now she was standing in front of the man. Her hand grabbed the doorknob and turned it.
A sinister chill immediately assaulted all the senses in Nada's body. Seen in the bedroom window, if it turns out the air outside is very cloudy.
"It looks like it wants to rain, even though it was sunny," commented Alex who also looked at Nada's bedroom window, which was closed but the curtains were open.
Nada opened the door wide, first entered the room followed by Alex behind.
"This is your room? The air is cool, comfortable." Alex walked to the bed, then sat on the edge of the bed and then lay there instead. Only his upper body was on the bed, the rest of his waist and legs were left bent as a rebuttal on the floor.
Nada doesn't care about that.
"Where's my cell phone?" She muttered as she ruffled the bedside table —since she usually put her cell phone here— but she didn't see the flat object she was looking for. "Besides, there's no way I've lost my cell phone, I don't even have time to clean up the tools in your room."
Hearing Nada's faint babble made Alex raise an eyebrow in surprise. "Why the hell, freaks?" he asked, changing his reclining position into a sitting position.
Nada shook her head, she chose not to answer Alex's question. She walked over to the dressing table, which of course had a mirror big enough to satisfy her when she saw her face with makeup —but since she knew there was another life in the mirror, she would never look in the mirror again if no one was around—.
She was afraid. But since she thought there was Alex, she tried to be casual and act modestly.
When looking at the dressing table, she also did not find her cellphone.
"It's over there.."
Nada's heart pumps faster than ever. Now, her position is bent with an open body facing the mirror.
She was feeling bad, but she still heard all kinds of chatter from Alex complaining about the photo display in her room commenting on how innocent she used to be.
Slowly, she felt anxious. Nada slowly lifted her head to look in the mirror.
And…. That woman over there. Middle smiled broadly at her.
Nada felt jolted by what she saw, hastily backed away, which of course would put Alex in the spotlight.
"What are you doing? Why are you surprised by your reflection in the mirror?" asked Alex with raised eyebrows. According to him, Nada is very strange.
Hearing that, Nada couldn't believe Alex couldn't see what she was seeing.
A woman, a beautiful dress that was torn apart even more badly than before.
"I know what you're thinking, that guy can't see me because he's not 'us' target."
Nada gulped, then her eyes saw her cellphone lying on a small table that was lying on the dressing table.
'Ugh, why is my phone there? I can't remember when I put it there.' thought Nada.
Alex approaches Nada who looks… strange? Yes, maybe that one woman is always weird. He stopped next to Nada who was still staring at her reflection in the mirror. "Don't you ever look in the mirror? Why are you so surprised by your reflection in the mirror?" He asked. Perhaps, he currently felt that the woman beside him had a million puzzles he needed to solve so as not to feel confused.
Nada felt beads of sweat on her forehead, a sign that she was scared. "You don't see anything in the mirror?" She whispered.
Alex looked in the mirror, now there was only a reflection of his body and Nada's body reflected there. "Yes, I saw it, I saw a reflection of our bodies in the mirror."
However, what Nada saw right now was not their shadow, but…
"Run." said the creepy woman in the mirror.
After that, Nada saw a sinister figure that looked like a demon who directly stabbed the woman in the back with a knife.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The woman's screams sounded perfect.
Nada saw it, clearly saw the sadistic murder in front of her eyes. She covered her mouth, trying not to cry.
"Please get my cell phone which is on the dressing table,"
After that, Nada prefers to take a step back, hiding behind a coat hanger behind the door so the creepy figure doesn't see it.
Alex who didn't understand anything just obeyed while nodding his head, walking leisurely there. Doing Nada's request for some reason the woman acted as if she was scared.
Nada only saw Alex from afar. If it wasn't for her fear of her stepmother, she wouldn't have bothered to retrieve her cell phone in the death lair.
In Nada's mind, she thought. Was this the gist of the Page C book she read a few minutes ago before inviting Alex over to her house?
Regarding Alex's statement not being 'them' target which means the guy is not on the list. So of course Alex couldn't see what Nada was seeing.
Here, there is only one target that 'they' aim at, namely Nada.

The strange incident that he saw right in front of his eyes made Alex raise an eyebrow, now he has been kicked out of Nada's house with the excuse that his mother will be home soon.
"Asked but not answered, suddenly I was told to go home just like that."
Walking into the yard, he saw his car which had disappeared from where he had left it. Turning his head towards the open garage, he found that his car was dry and clean there.
Not to worry anymore, he stepped into the house saying hello. "Hi, Mother!" call him.
Alex's house, which is quite large, looks beautiful, in contrast to Nada's house, where the air feels very tense.
In the past, the house was empty and every time someone inhabited it, surely no one would last long.
"Yes, dear..."
There was a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful, approached Alex with her pajamas clinging to her body.
"I want to ask you something, but let's go to the home library first, shall we?" he asked in a voice that sounded serious, he was waiting for an answer from the woman who was now lying right in front of him.
Hearing Alex's voice that sounded serious, as a parent, of course, she understood what Alex wanted to talk about, surely it was something important.
Her name is Olivia, a woman who currently only has one child, namely Alex. Live with a maid in this big house if her husband and son do have activities outside the home. She has a very positive nature, is kind, and also doesn't forget to be very understanding.
They finally walked towards a small library that was deliberately built in this house considering the leader of the house —Alex's father—, likes to read even on holidays he takes time to be there just to read and increase knowledge.
Alex walked first as if leading the way. He remembered something he didn't believe before and he always kept it in his mind.
Once in the library room, Alex's hand closed the door again.
Lamps with yellow light are certainly very suitable and friendly to use when reading, not too painful for the eyes because they can be blinding.
Olivia stopped right next to Alex who was currently stopping by the round table. "What do you want to talk about and why did you bring Mother here?" She asked curiously.
Alex looked at Olivia seriously, then sighed. "I believe," he said with a firm nod.
Alex's answer confused Olivia. "What do you believe?" She asked as if demanding a more detailed explanation.
Realizing Olivia didn't understand what he meant, Alex immediately walked to the shelf to look for one of the books he was going to discuss this time.
His mind wandered when he remembered what happened at Nada's house, on the one hand, he still couldn't believe it but he managed to see directly in front of him very clearly.
"I believe this." Alex replied as he took out a maroon-colored book with an old engraving that said 'Mirror Seizes the Soul', he raised his eyes to look at Olivia who seemed no longer stunned.
Olivia nodded her head, then moved to one of the long sofas in this library, then she landed her butt there. "I'm sure you'd prefer to listen to my explanation while sitting down," she said as she patted the sofa beside her an empty body.
Alex nodded his head, approached his mother, and sat down as instructed. "Explain to me, I have seen everything. Weirdness and confusion, I feel it all." He says.
"Where did you see it?" Olivia asked.
In the end, Alex explained from the beginning that Nada asked him to go to the girl's house until finally a strange incident in Nada's room a few minutes ago, the woman looked very frightened by her reflection in the mirror.
Alex's story just flows, of course, he draws a common thread from what happened to the woman next to him.
"She was chosen?" Olivia asked.
Alex nodded his head. Previously, he had been told this kind of story by Olivia. Unfortunately, he is too realistic and thinks it's just a myth from the people who live in his area which is also embedded in his mother's mind. But it turns out? Reality itself immediately showed him that everything he thought was a myth as fact.
"Could I be the chosen one too, Mom? I mean, it's not that I want to be in Nada's position. Hey, no one wants to be in her position! But, I think I want to help her."
"No, according to the story, they don't want to target random people. They also say that if that person hates each other, you are safe."
Alex also never thought of falling in love with Nada who wants to plant a heart and spend time with a strange woman?
He began to open the book in his hand, it was immediately clear that there was a picture of a figure who did not know who made it because it was a drawing with pen ink.
"Scary," Alex commented upon seeing the figure. This was the first time he had opened this book, but not the first time he had seen it because Olivia had shown it to him before and he didn't think it was important.
Olivia nodded her head. "Yes it is very scary, but I still doubt the description of their shape because there are many types and sometimes change."
After that, Alex continued to the next page of the book and there was what looked like a small piece of torn shirt that he didn't know who it belonged to. "What's this?"
This documentation book about the incident involving Mirror Seizes The Soul, all the evidence, even the description, and explanation is there. People have disappeared time and time again after occupying the house that Nada now resides in, but each movement only takes one victim.
Why not just demolish the house long ago? —the house that Nada is currently living in has just been renovated— At the very least, complaining to the authorities about this matter led to many deaths.
Yes, Olivia has reported many times. But the police said that what this woman described as a hallucination in the sense of not being real. Even the police also say to always keep your mouth shut if the house is 'dangerous' in other natural conditions and there are always new people like Nada who don't know anything about the history of the house they live in and are suddenly targeted by evil creatures.
"But I can't see them, I only know that Nada is afraid to see herself in the mirror. But when I look in the mirror, all I see is the reflection of Nada's body as normal, could she see something else that I can't see? "
Olivia nodded her head. "Nothing can prevent this because the only people who can see 'them' are someone who belongs to the target, and also a psychic for sure."
"Let's call the psychics to take care of this because it will take another victim, save Nada to stop the case that has been running relentlessly for years."
Then maybe after this, what Alex thought was a Myth came true.
And what's more, Olivia knows everything, yes, Alex's mother.
