Chapter 5

Maxine's Point of View

Wooh! After running, I found myself here in the garden, hiding at the back of this huge tree. I hope they couldn't find me here; gosh, I'm tired and I'm sweating to death. How long should I hide myself here? Sigh, I think I should have to sleep here tonight, or else I would be dead meat! Gosh, I remember the glaze of Alyn; he is freaking scary!

"Ugly, come out." Oh my gosh, the demon is here! I should be quiet and hold my breath. I put my hands on my lips to avoid making any noise, because if he heard my breath, Oh God, I'd meet the light too soon.

"Missy, we are going to count from one to three, and if you don't show up... you'll sleep outside the mansion tonight." Oh, what should I do?

"1..." should I show myself so that I can sleep in the soft bed?

"2..." no! That's only a bait, they will kill me once they see me.

"3..." I didn't show up.

"Okay, enjoy the weather here." I heard from Sid, and the next thing I heard was their footsteps.

"I heard on the news that it will rain later." said Byron in a low tone, I think they are far from me now.

Wait, did I hear that? I didn't mishear, right? It will rain! Huwa! I'd escape from those evil creatures, but I would be sick because of the goddamn rain! What is this life for?

Alyn's Point of View

We can't find that girl, so we get home and sit on the sofa. Byron is holding the fake cockroaches inside the plastic bag, Giles is holding his ten earphones cut in the middle, Sid is holding his favorite basketball, and Louis is holding his T-shirts cut like homeless shirts, and as for me, I'm holding this Sadako drawing that I saw earlier when I got up to look for the ugly girl, and the second one is the picture frame of my beloved ex-girlfriend, and the last is the bucket that was full of water a while ago.

"I hate cockroaches!" Byron shouted and then put the fake cockroaches in the trash can.

"Goodbye, my earphones." said Giles with teary eyes, and he then threw his ten earphones inside the trash can. He may love music so much that he has a collection of earphones and headphones.

"Huwa! Goodbye, baby, pure." Sid wiped his tears away before tossing his pale ball into the trash can. That's only a ball, why did he cry? He can buy another one and sign it with his idol again, psh. Easy.

"Goodbye, my T-shirts." Louis then threw his shirts in the trash can. After doing that, they all looked at me like they were expecting me to throw something.

"You don't want to throw that away?" Sid asked while pointing to Elaine's picture and the drawing of Sadako.

"Are you an idiot? Why should he throw away Elaine's picture?" Louis said, and they looked at each other.

"I will take my revenge on that girl using this Sadako, and about Elaine's picture, I will keep it." I said before that I turned back to the sofa and turned on the TV, and the sudden rain drops outside caught my attention.

The girl is not coming back yet, fucker. It's raining, where is she now? What if she got a cold because she stayed outside? We will be dead to GH if it happens!

"It's raining." Byron said while looking outside the window. Didn't he say that he heard the news about the weather?

"Why do you look so shocked? You were the one who said it would rain." Sid walks toward Byron and taps his shoulder.

"Ah, that's just me joking a while ago. I just wanted to scare that girl," said Byron, and he faked a smile. I just made a poker face before standing up.

"We have to find that girl; I'm sure she's still outside." I get the umbrella and start walking, and before I finally step on the last part of the stairs, I hear the four talk.

"I'll go to the back house." Giles volunteered.

"I'll go with you." Louis uttered.

"I'll go to the pool area." Sid said it confidently.

"I'll go with you, hehe. I'm afraid I will suddenly meet cockroaches in my way." Byron mutters like a child.

"Can you grow up?" Sid said before starting to walk away.

"By the way, Alyn, where do you plan to search?" Byron stopped to walk and faced me.

"In the garden." I answered shortly and started to walk in the direction of the garden.

Okay, where's that girl now?

-----

(After 30 minutes)

"Argh, we can't find her!" Sid and Byron both said it.

"Neither do we." Giles, uttered.

They are wet due to the heavy rain, and the umbrella is useless because the wind is too strong. They just arrived, while I've been here for quite some time.

"How about you, Alyn?" Louis asked.

"She's upstairs." I answered while still not looking at them.

"Aish, why didn't you tell us? Is she alright?" Louis asked again, and it looks like he cares a lot about that girl ha. Psh.

"Look for her if you are curious, and don't ask me so many questions." I answered, then stood up and headed to the kitchen.

If he's curious, why not check on the girl and try to stop asking me? They're so annoying. Ugh, I just want to rest already. That girl gave me a headache.

I sighed before I turned away. Maybe I should just really go back to my room and get some rest. For me, this day was long enough for me to feel tired. Tsk.
