The Last Weird : 4

"Have you come?" 

Alice, Logan and Xander who had been sitting on the sofa immediately got up when they heard that voice. The figure of a middle-aged man in maroon red clothes, as well as his black robe, made the middle-aged figure feel a little different. Alice immediately felt that her hair rose as her bead met the man. But she neutralized the look on her face, she was always like this when she was with someone new to her. And - it's not good for him. 

"Father!" said Xander while looking down, saluting the figure of the middle-aged man 

"Please sit down Xander and you two too!" said the middle aged figure but did not take his gaze off Alice. He felt that there was something inside the girl. something that made it difficult to escape the girl's gaze. Xander, who was aware of that, immediately coughed and made all the attention turn towards him. 

"Please, sit!" exclaimed the middle-aged figure again "ahhh before, introduce, you can call me Erick!" said the middle-aged figure 

"I am Logan and this is Alice Mr. Erick, nice to meet you!" said Logan, representing Alice who was still faithfully hugging Logan's hand since earlier, precisely since the middle-aged man named Mr. Erick introduced himself. Logan could actually feel that the aura of Mr. Erick who was now sitting in front of them was so strong. His aura was almost the same as Xander's aura when he first met him. However - Logan was actually not too sure whether the aura of Xander and that middle aged man was the same aura. Because, there was a slight difference between the two of them. 

"Really? Have you been friends with Xander for a long time?" exclaimed Mr.Erick 

"Since entering middle school to be precise sir!" said Logan 

"Alright, ahhhhh. I didn't bring much, here are some foods that I could bring! Please taste it!" said Mr. Erick as several servants brought plates of food to their place. "And if you feel bored, you can walk around this house! I will stay for a while, I have business to do!" exclaimed Mr. Erick then immediately stood up, but before completely disappearing behind the door, Alice could feel that the old man's figure was staring back at her. Making him who was staring at the disappearing direction of the middle-aged figure's back distracted him. He was quite nervous this time, the aura felt so strong. An aura that, if he felt, was the same as when Logan first introduced Xander to him. 

***

"Don't you want to talk to your father Xander? I think he's waiting for you!" exclaimed Logan starting the conversation and to slightly defuse the tense atmosphere that was in the room where they were currently sitting. Even though the middle-aged man was no longer with them, his aura still made Alice a little afraid and still hugged Logan's arm - until now. 

Xander, who had been silent while staring at the window behind Logan and Alice, turned his attention to Logan. "I don't think so!" exclaimed Xander coldly "And, I think we can go home now!" continued Xander with his face flat and as usual. 

"Coming home? Why all of a sudden? Are you sure you don't want to talk to your father again?" exclaimed Logan 

"No, let's go now!" exclaimed Xander immediately hurried to his feet. His feelings were getting weird a few minutes ago. Exactly after he heard the piano sound again, for some reason. Xander seemed to feel this was getting weird. 

"Okay, I think that's better too!" said Alice who suddenly stood up and immediately walked towards Xander's direction. 

"How strange, you guys are so sudden!" exclaimed Logan, grumpily. But because Alice had already gotten up from her seat, like it or not, she also had to move. And follow Alice and Xander. They returned through the room with the architecture they had first passed. This time Xander took the path right next to Alice, and silently looked at the girl. Looking at the girl's expression made Xander completely unable to distract him. 

Alice felt her head heavy, the sound of the piano and the songs resounding in her eardrums. The hair on his neck was getting up. In fact, he didn't even notice that Xander had been watching him since earlier. Alice stared at the hidden walls and again she saw a figure watching her and then disappeared again. "Remember what I told you Alice?" 

Alice jumped when she heard Xander's voice right next to her. Alice, who was looking at Xander, immediately nodded. He then looked at Logan who was also staring at him. Alice kept walking up to the parking lot. And the atmosphere got even stranger, when no one greeted them on their return. Even the janitor who was in the park is no longer there. Even though there are still many leaves that fall from the big tree in the park and it is an eyesore to the garden. 

Xander let go of his hand covering Alice's ear, he looked at Alice who was also staring at him. "I'll get in my car, be careful on the way!" exclaimed Xander as soon as he got into his car, which was parked in the Hummer owned by Logan. 

Logan looked at Xander, then immediately got into his car. But Alice was still beside the side door of Logan's car. He was still staring at the wall where he felt a figure was staring at him again. This time unlike the first time, the figure stared at him for a long time. 

 "Alice? What's wrong? Get in right away, do you want me to open the door for you?" said Logan, lowering the driver's window next to it. Making Logan's gaze also fixed on Xander who was still motionless from his car, the man looked absent-minded and stared straight ahead. Logan then came out "Alice? You don't hear me talking?" said Logan, shaking Alice's shoulders who did not seem to be aware of what she said earlier. 

 "Ahhh, sorry. I was daydreaming earlier!" exclaimed Alice who had just realized. Logan stared at him in disgust, "I know, got in the car. If you want me to open the door for you. Just tell me, then I'll do it, princess!" 

Alice chuckled in disgust, she was not a species of spoiled woman who wanted to be treated like a princess. Alice never wanted that, even though sometimes she often felt that she used to be often treated like a princess. But Alice immediately brushed off her fantasy thoughts, there was no way an Alice could be worthy of being medicated like that. Having friends like Logan and Xander is enough to make Alice's life happy. 

After entering Alice and making sure the girl was seated properly, he entered from the next door. Close the door, and start the automatic machine. Logan car is also the latest car that does not need to use a key to start it. Only with fingerprints, the car can start. However, if circumstances are required. Logan also occasionally uses the car keys that he always provides on his car dashboard. Logan was about to advance his car, but Xander suddenly got out of his car. 

"Wait, I'm coming with you!" exclaimed Xander and then immediately got into Logan's car. 

"W-what about your car Xander?" exclaimed Logan before actually running his car from the Xander housing complex which for some reason suddenly felt even more creepy than when they arrived. He was even a little surprised by Xander who suddenly came with his car. In fact, when juxtaposed with it. Xander's car is way above his car, but he can never read Xander's mind. Very difficult and far from the predictions. 

"Yes, hurry up and run the car!" said Xander then glanced slightly at Alice who was sitting in front with her face slightly pale from Xander's assessment. 

"Good!" exclaimed Logan and immediately accelerated his car when he saw the expressions of Alice and Xander. 

Alice stared at the gate they had passed through and along with the horror voices that also disappeared from her ears. Alice let out a sigh and glanced slightly at Xander who was also glancing at her. 

"Are you feeling better?" Xander said after Logan's car was a little far from his home complex. 

Alice turned and looked at Xander "Can you feel it too?" exclaimed Alice 

"I think you know the answer Alice! And can you hear it Logan?" said Xander 

"Hearing? Hearing what? And why do you two seem to have a secret? What do I not know?" exclaimed Logan with raised eyebrows, completely god-like.

"So-, you didn't hear it?" exclaimed Alice a little awkwardly

"What a cliché Alice, I already said that I didn't hear it. What do I not really know?" annoyed Logan "And - voice? What sound? I haven't heard anything from earlier!" he continued.

"Piano sounds and death songs!" exclaimed Xander, who immediately leaned his back against the back of Logan's car. Logan frowned and thought, occasionally he glanced at the girl who was sitting in front of him. Why could Alice see and hear that voice? Meanwhile Logan listened to nothing at all. 

In fact, the main reason Xander didn't want to stay in the house was because of every night. He will surely hear the piano playing as well as the death songs again. Xander once asked his father about the voice, but Mr. Erick always kept quiet when Xander had asked about it. Xander often felt like someone was watching him and to be honest that really made him uncomfortable. 

At that time, Xander went up to the second floor of his house. The place where it was forbidden not to climb. When passing through the main door to the second floor. Xander could sense that something was there. Xander's hair rose when he stared at a black door with a red hue that was right inside the room. However, before his hand could open the door. Erick had already pulled him away and punished him severely. Xander was always wondering about that voice, the sound of crying, the sound of screaming, the sound of creaking. And that's why Xander doesn't want to go back there. 

"Come on, what's wrong with you two?" exclaimed Logan who felt neglected earlier. 

"You really didn't hear that voice, did you?" exclaimed Xander to make sure that they had known each other for the last few years. And, what Xander accidentally experienced. It must have been known by Logan, but if the voice could not be heard by him. That means something is wrong with them. 

"What a cliché Xander, if you hear something, I will definitely tell you two. However, I didn't hear anything at all, my sight is also blocked and I can also feel that something is inside your house Xander ! " exclaimed Logan, starting to say what had been stuck in his mind 

"I know and that's why I invite you to my house! Because I thought, there is something hidden there! And I do not know what it is more precisely!" replied Xander 

"What is it that makes you not want to live there?" said Alice starting to ask 

Xander glanced at Alice, "Yes, you're right!" exclaimed Xander with a sigh. This time he was really talkative and it was quite tiring for him. They finally fell silent with each other's thoughts. Logan doesn't want to ask too many questions this time, because he clearly knows that Xander is not the one who easily answers his questions. On the other hand, Alice was still raging with her own thoughts, all of this. What they experienced, from singing, songs, piano sounds, houses, sculptures. All of this was in his dream last night. Then, is it true that something bad will happen to them? For, in Alice's dream, they would have had a long day coming out of that gate. 

"Xander, can I ask you a question?" exclaimed Alice suddenly, which startled the daydreaming Xander a little. 

"Yes!" 

"Do you know about that symbol? I mean, ahhh, that. Logan said that you know about the symbols I paint every night. And the symbols that also happened at school!" 

Xander glanced at Logan and then sighed again while closing his eyes "I'm just looking for it, because I think my father has discussed this symbol. It is a symbol of mortality, at that time I heard my father say to someone. Things must be kept away from him. someone who wants to rule all the earth. For now I still have to find out more! " 

"Earlier, I apologize for not telling you. Because I don't think you will care, but my opinion is wrong. You even gave me quite important information!" 

"Hmm, no problem. I'm looking for it because I also need information about it. For nothing!" Xander replied slightly curtly. 

Logan looked at Xander who closed his eyes again from his rearview mirror. He also glanced slightly at Alice who looked annoyed by Xander's answer. Logan only shrugged his shoulders as Alice stared at him with narrowed eyes. The girl sighed again, then again busy staring at every road they passed. At least, he already had a little clue for today.
