Chapter 2

A truck was speeding towards them. Sean who saw that immediately swerved then to the right and then the car crashed into a tree.

Luckily no one was hurt, only the bumper of Sean's car was damaged. While they were still trying to calm down from the shock, suddenly someone knocked on the windshield. It is a man.

"Oh, god! Are you okay?" he said worriedly when he saw them getting out of the car.

"Yeah, I think... is there someone hurt?" asked Max.

"No, I am okay," said Luna.

"Yeah, me too," continued Elly.

"I am... I am so sorry, guys! I didn't mean it. I don't know why it's like the steering is being controlled by something all of a sudden."

"It's okay, sir. We are fine," said Eiden.

"Okay, good." He said with panicked, "I just want to make sure there's no one got injured.

Glad all of you are fine. Looks like your car is broken, do you need a tow truck?"

Sean looked at his car, "No, I think it's just the bumper. It's still fine."

The man left his phone number and asked them to contact him if there was anything wrong, before he left them and went on his way.

"I told you, there's something wrong with that house! All of you are refuse to listen to me!" Luna looked angrily at her friends.

"Wait... wait, why do you blame us?" Tania asked.

"This was yours and Eiden's idea, right? Both of you dragged us into a big trouble!" Luna's eyes looked very fiery.

Tania couldn't contain her anger anymore and reflected by slapping Luna. Suddenly everyone was shocked!

"Shut you fucking mouth up! This is not only me nor Eiden. All of us have agreed to explore the house. Besides, if you don't like it, then why the fuck did you have to come, huh? No one invited you, nerdy girl!" Tania accused.

"You don't have to blame us. We didn't see anything in that house at all, huh? You're just being too much and making things up, Luna. Just stop imagining things!" added Eiden.

"That's enough!" shouted Elly, "Luna, please. It wasn't all their fault."

Luna stared in disbelief at them, especially at Tania and Eiden, feeling hurt and angry. She burst into tears. No one stood up for her here.

" I have enough with this bullshit!"

Luna ran away from them.

"Luna!" shouted Max as he tried to chase her, but was stopped by Tania.

"Let her go. She is freaky!"

Just then a taxi appeared, Luna stopped it and got into the car. Seeing that, a rush of emotions came over them.

"Alright, guys. Let's go home," Sean said.

They got back into the car and drove home.

After getting home, Eiden took the tape out of his bag. When security told them to go home and one by one his friends left the room, he quickly put the tape and the player into his bag without anyone noticing.

"Terrifying, 1982." Eiden flipped the tape over and read the singer's name, "Anne Stewart."

Eiden shrugged his shoulders while picking his nose with a dismissive expression. He put the cassette into the player and started playing the song.

The lyrics sounded strange with a meaning that was hard to understand. But the melody was quite catchy. Nothing strange so far. Until you ended, at which point the lights suddenly went out.

"Oh, shit!" cursed Eiden.

He grabbed his smartphone and turned on the flashlight. He didn't realize there was a terrifying evil standing behind him.

The door suddenly opened with a bang. Eiden, who was shocked, immediately turned his head to the door. There was no one but darkness outside.

"Who's that?"

"Corrine?"

"Elise?"

Eiden guessed. He thought that it was his sisters being ignorant. Eiden approached the door and looked outside. There was no one and it looked deserted. Maybe everyone was fast asleep and didn't realize the power was off.

Eiden closed the door and as he turned around, that was exactly when he saw the demonic figure. His eyes were fiery red with his entire body covered in blood. His teeth were sharp and emitted a lot of foul odor with two black horns on his head. He grinned at Eiden.

Eiden was frozen on the spot. Her body trembled with fear. Sweat began to pour out. His heart felt like it was being slammed. Tears began to fall from her eyes.

The music player played on its own. Eiden turned his head to the music player and when he looked forward again, the evil had disappeared.

Eiden breathed a sigh of relief, but he was wrong. He was still there!

The door locked by itself and the flashlight on the smartphone suddenly turned off. Eiden was startled and before he could react, a pair of hands pulled his legs and made him fall.

"Aaaaaaa!!!"

Eiden screamed loudly as the invisible figure grabbed his legs and lifted him into the air, then slammed him to the floor at once.

He felt pain all over his body. Eiden held onto the foot of the bed. He knew where the door was. He crawled toward the door with all his might, but the evil demon wouldn't let him do it.

Eiden's body suddenly flew up and crashed into the wall. He groaned in pain.

"Mom! Ahhh!"

Eiden tried to stand up. The lights turned off and on quickly. He didn't want to waste the opportunity and immediately ran to the door. Eiden banged loudly on the door.

"Mom! Dad! Corrine! Help!"

Eiden's body was lifted into the air again, but this time it was different. His eyes were wide open and his pupils turned white with his mouth open. His muscles began to tighten, Eiden felt an excruciating pain all over his body. He screamed but something stifled his voice. Eiden hit the floor hard. His eyes started to return to normal and the pain slowly disappeared. Eiden stood up slowly. The lights came back on normally. Just then the door opened.

"Eiden, what's happened?" asked Corrine panicked.

Instead of answering his sister's question, Eiden looked at Corrinne in confusion.

"Nothing."

Corrine snorted in annoyance "You're such a jerk. You were yelling for me and now you're saying nothing? Your prank is so tacky!"

Corrine leaves Eiden while grumbling. As she descended the stairs, Emily's baby walker suddenly beeped.

"Oh, hell!" Corrine ran down the stairs and turned off the music on the baby walker. She had no idea that something terrible was staring at her in the darkness.

After closing the door, Eiden lay down on the bed. As if he had forgotten what had happened a moment ago.

Eiden's smartphone was ringing. He picked it up from where it lay on the floor. A message from Sean.

[Dude, Luna is missing!]
