Awakening of the Darkness's Heirs 18
They began rehearsing, creating dialogue and preparing costumes. The atmosphere in their dormitory was full of laughter, because every time they tried out a new dialogue, Lucas would come up with a silly improvisation that made everyone laugh out loud. Finally, the day of the Weekly Festival arrived. The atmosphere on campus was very festive, with colourful decorations, snack stalls, and the main stage in the middle of the field. There were many students crowded around, and each team seemed to be busy preparing for their performance."Alright, our next team is Team Kelana Malam with a play called Parallel Campus" the announcement was heard, and a thunderous applause greeted them.The lights on the stage slowly turned on, and the five friends entered the stage in their unique outfits.The show began with Raven standing at the front, introducing the story of five friends who were suddenly sucked into a parallel world on campus while they were looking for a place to study.Each charact

Saat hari mulai gelap, akhirnya mereka melihat seorang mahasiswa, Anna, mendekati botol dan tampak menaburkan sesuatu ke dalamnya. Raven dan teman-temannya saling berpandangan, kaget sekaligus lega.Tanpa menunggu lama, mereka menghampiri Anna, yang kaget melihat kehadiran mereka. Meredith langsung bertanya, “Anna, kenapa kamu melakukan ini?”Dengan memasang wajah polos tanpa dosa, Anna mencoba berkelit dengan mengatakan bahwa botol yang ada di sana adalah miliknya. Namun, ekspresi wajah Anna dan keterangan yang diutarakannya berubah ketika Maya dan Ben mengatakan bahwa satu-satunya mahasiswa di kampus yang menggunakan botol minum seperti itu hanya Jeremy saja. Tidak ingin kecolongan, Lucas dan Ben mendesak Anna dengan beberapa cara termasuk dengan membohongi gadis itu bahwa mereka berlima mempunyai rekaman yang memperlihatkan perbuatan Anna saat berusaha mencelakai Jeremy. Anna tampak panik. Dengan wajah ketakutan dia akhirnya mengakui, “Aku sengaja. Jeremy membaca surat cinta yan

After the celebratory party on stage was over, Raven and her friends invited Jeremy to join them for a small dinner at a café near campus."But, I'm not a member of your team, so I can't join you." Jeremy tried to refuse in a subtle way. "Tsk, just come along. After all, you've joined us many times. Don't act like you don't know us, Jim," cut in Meredith, who didn't like the sound of Jeremy's words. "Yes, Jim, come along. You're our friend too, even though you're... well, older than us by a few notches," Lucas retorted. Although Lucas' words were quite sharp, instead of getting angry at his younger brother, Jeremy laughed and finally agreed to join despite looking stiff, awkward, and seemingly so formal.That night, the atmosphere was very cheerful. Their laughter filled the tables, and Jeremy, who had been stiff and cold, began to seem more relaxed and warm in their midst.The café was decorated with small lights hanging from the walls, giving it a warm and cosy atmosphere.Lucas

A few weeks after the festival, Raven and her friends would meet in the campus park every weekend. They liked to share stories, tell funny stories, and sometimes practice drama informally. Jeremy, who had now become a part of their group, often joined them as well, sitting casually with guitar in hand, playing light songs that created a cheerful atmosphere.One sunny afternoon, as they sat in a circle on the grass, Maya proposed an idea. "Why don't we have a picnic this weekend? It's been a while since we've had time to relax off campus."Raven was immediately enthusiastic. "Agreed! It'll be fun. We can bring food, play little games, and Jeremy can bring his guitar for entertainment!"Jeremy smiled, looked down a little embarrassed, but nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll play a few songs. But if you guys promise not to laugh at me if I play badly."Raven chuckled. "Relax, we wouldn't have the heart for that."The night before the picnic, Raven and Meredith were busy preparing the food

Crack...A sound like soft footsteps came from outside the room. Raven frowned. Probably just another student still wandering the hallways, she thought.But... Crack... Crak...The steps sounded again. Closer this time. Slower. More cautious. Raven's heart beat faster. Her eyes glanced at the closed bedroom door. A faint shadow appeared from under the crack of the door, moving slowly... stopping... then moving again. It was as if the figure was observing the room from the outside. Raven held her breath, feeling her hair stand on end. She glanced at Meredith, who was still fast asleep. What should she do? Should she wake Meredith up? Or should she keep quiet and pretend to be asleep?The shadow was still there. Motionless. As if waiting for something.Suddenly, the doorknob of their room rattled. Raven immediately got up from the bed and stared at the door with wide eyes. Her heart was beating so fast that she was afraid someone outside could hear it.The door was locked, but the

Tension hung in the air like a thick fog. The entire dormitory was gathered in the courtyard, staring at the police line set up around the entrance to the back forest. Some of the campus security officers were talking to the police, while the students could only whisper, trying to digest what had just happened.Raven stood among them, feeling her heart beating erratically. The image of the horrible laughter she heard last night was still ringing in her head."I don't like this," Meredith muttered softly, standing beside her.Lucas looked at them with a tense expression. "You mean, the body that was found... has something to do with the voice we heard last night?""I don't know." Raven bit her lip. "But I have a bad feeling."Jeremy, who was standing a little further away, listened to their conversation in silence. His eyes were fixed on the police line, as if trying to see something invisible.Before long, a forensic officer came out of the forest with a stiff face. A senior policema

The sound of twigs breaking beneath their steps rang out loudly in the silent forest.Only the wind blew softly, occasionally shaking the leaves, creating eerie shadows around them.Meredith shivered. "I still think this is a bad idea..."Lucas walked beside her, looking back warily. "You're not the only one who thinks so."Jeremy, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped. He stared at the ground, his expression serious. "Look at this."Raven and the others approached him.In front of them, the wet ground looked messy, as if something had been dragged over it.Long scratch marks were visible on a nearby tree trunk, as if something was trying to climb up frantically.Lucas gulped. "Okay. This is definitely not the work of an ordinary animal."Raven crouched down, touching the scratch marks carefully. There was something strange. The scar on the tree looked black, like it was burnt, and when she touched it-Shit!Raven jumped in surprise. The scar felt hot."Something's strange..." Sh

"But it's high!" whispered Meredith frantically."Better to fall than die here!" Lucas hissed, sweat beading on his forehead.Raven didn't think twice. She ran straight to the window and smashed it with her elbow. The glass shattered, the night wind rushing in to hit them in the face.Below, the dark forest stretched out.They had no other choice.Jeremy climbed up first, then stuck out his hand. "Come on, I've got you!"Lucas helped Meredith up, then followed Raven who jumped up. They fell into the bushes, their bodies hitting the ground hard.Lucas, the last one out, almost made it, but the skinny hand grabbed his leg!The creature's eyes stared at him crazily, its jaws gaping wide with a crunching sound.

It was getting late, but neither Sister Helena nor Mr Adrian showed any sign of wanting to stop. They were now sitting in the clinic's administration room, piles of incident reports and student records scattered across the table. "So," Sister Helena said with a sigh, "you're sure those footprints came from someone who was in the garden before Meredith was found?" Mr Adrian nodded, his hands pressing against his temples. "Yes. The footprints are bigger than Meredith's, and too deep. Someone stood there for a long time. And the direction of the tracks is towards the library." Sister Helena bit her lip. "And Raven was in the library that night..." "True," Mr Adrian leaned back in his chair. "But what puzzles me are Meredith's words before she fainted-'She was there... but not her.' What does that mean?" Sister Helena shook her head slowly. "Maybe... something 'other' took Raven's form?" The atmosphere in the room was suddenly colder. Mr Adrian straightened up. "You think th

Sister Helena stared intently at the pale face of Meredith who had regained consciousness. Beside her, the school guards still stood with questioning expressions.Meredith's last words echoed in their heads."Raven."Sister Helena let out a long breath, trying to think clearly."How much do you know about that child?" she asked the school guard.The man shook his head. "Not much. But if she's Meredith's roommate, then they're pretty close, right?"Sister Helena tapped her fingers on the table. "Could be. Or it could be the other way round."Her tone of voice made the custodian frown. "What do you mean?"Sister Helena looked straight into the man's eyes."We don't know for sure what happened to Meredith, but she mentioned Raven's name before passing out. That could mean two things-she asked for Raven, or she accused Raven."The school guard swallowed."And given her condition..." Sister Helena continued in a

The days at Lorywood Campus are still full of colour. The festival continues, and the ball is just days away. There seemed to be no room for fear. On the centre court, the dodgeball game is getting more and more exciting. Cheers erupted, fuelling the spirits of those competing.Jeremy performed another amazing manoeuvre, dodging the ball with an almost impossible leap. "Jeremy! I swear, you're not human!" shouted Lucas from the stands. Jeremy just laughed smugly. "Of course not. I'm superhuman." Meredith, who was sitting with Maya and Ben, just shook her head with a smile. On the other side, the prom committee was busy with the final preparations. The main hall had been decorated with dim lights, and in the music room, rehearsals were going on. Everything was peaceful. It was almost like a little paradise. However, amidst all the excitement, something felt... odd. Something that could only be sensed by those who were sensitive enough. Meredith let out a long sigh as sh

The Lorywood campus seems to have turned into a different place in the past few days.Whereas before the atmosphere on campus was tense and mysterious, now all the students are busy enjoying all the excitement.The sports field continues to be filled with cheers, the campus park has become an impromptu picnic spot, and in the main hall, the organisers have started arranging the decorations for the dance party that will be held soon.For the first time in a long time, everyone forgot their fears."It smells so good!" Maya almost jumped for joy as she approached one of the food stalls at the small festival being held in the centre court of the campus.The stalls were lined up neatly, selling various foods from different countries. There were Japanese takoyaki, American hotdogs, Korean kimbap, and Indonesian speciality fried rice

Mornings on the Lorywood campus are back to business as usual-or at least, that's how it seems.After a festival full of excitement, students went back to their routines. Some are still discussing the excitement of the night, especially the inflatable sumo fight between Ben and Jeremy that has now gone viral in the campus group.Others are busy with practice for the approaching sports competition.In between all that, Meredith tried to convince herself that everything was okay.That all the weirdness she felt was only in her mind. That the man in black she kept seeing was just a figment of her imagination."Of course everything is fine," she murmured softly, more to herself than anyone else.But the strange feeling remained.That afternoon, Meredith, Maya, Lucas, and Raven were g

She turned her head and saw Raven, who was now sitting next to her sipping a cold drink.Meredith looked at the students cheering for their favourite team. "We used to be all scared, wondering what the hell was going on in this campus. Now look at us... everyone's happy, as if there was never anything terrible before."Raven was silent for a moment, then shrugged. "Maybe this is a good thing? Maybe this campus does need something to distract from all that tension.""But..." Meredith bit her lip. "Don't you think this feels... strange? Like something is just erasing our fears?"Raven looked at her deeply, then smiled a little. "Mer, sometimes humans would rather forget than remember. Who wants to live in constant fear?"Meredith wanted to argue, but Raven had a point. After all, it felt good to see everyone laughing again, without anxiety or paranoia.From the field, Jeremy waved at them. "Hey! Are you guys just there? Come on down, we need s

Meredith locked her phone and took a deep breath, trying to shake off the uneasiness that was creeping into her mind. Not now. She didn't want to ruin this moment.Raven noticed her movement and whispered, "We'll talk about this later, okay? We need to keep it casual."Meredith nodded slowly. She decided to keep her suspicions to herself for the time being and let herself enjoy the atmosphere of the afternoon.On the court, Lucas and Jeremy were still busy competing one-on-one in their little basketball game. Maya laughed at Jeremy's attempts to get the ball in accurately."You should learn from me," Maya said while eating her ice cream casually.Jeremy snorted. "Oh yeah? Want to prove it?"Maya smiled a challenging smile. She stood up, grabbed the ball, and in one seemingly effortless motion, threw it towards the hoop. The ball travelled in a perfect traject

Meredith and Raven glanced at each other before going deeper into the bookcase aisle.And that's when they saw it.On one of the hidden shelves in the corner of the library, there was a dusty old book with a barely legible title. Meredith rubbed the cover, then read it quietly."Residual Energy Phenomena and Astral Traces on the Lorywood Campus."The name of their campus.Meredith's heart was pounding. What exactly was going on in this place?Meredith and Raven exchanged glances. The book before them seemedF to pulsate, as if it held something more than a simple academic text."Let's take this," Meredith whispered."Wait," Raven held up her hand. "If this is an old book, there must be a reason why it's kept on a hidden shelf."Meredith sighed and loo

After class ended, they left with mixed feelings. Meredith still felt uneasy, but the others seemed to be trying to enjoy their day as much as possible. "Let's go to the campus café first, shall we?" Maya suggested. "I need coffee to get my brain working again after that 'invisible energy' discussion." Lucas raised his hand. "Agreed! I'm almost out of energy." They walked together to the café located in the centre of the campus park. It was always crowded, filled with students chatting, working on assignments, or relaxing after class. The smell of coffee filled the air, mixing with the sound of laughter and the clinking of spoons in cups. Meredith took a seat by the window, letting the sunlight shine on her face. She needed a moment to calm her mind. However, as she looked out, her eyes were glued to something-the shadow of someone in the distance, standing near the library building. The man was dressed all in black, silent and motionless as if watching them. "Mer, your d
