"The moon has awoken,
with the sleep of the sun.
The light has been broken,
the spell has begun! "

※※※※※※

Cjay just like ordinary days accompany me home since it's already eleven in the evening. We stopped at front of the gate hugging myself as I felt the cold breeze of the night touches my skin. 

"Get in now, we have class tomorrow. We need to wake up early."

He attempted to press the button of the door bell but I stopped him.

"I'll do it myself. Anyway, about Asyla.  When can I tell Vanessa the truth?"

He put both hands in his pocket then stares at me. It's late at night and the neighbors are quiet, no cars passing by the small road in front of us. Only the sidewalk light post give brightness to where we are. He did not answer and look up at the clear night sky.

"It's full moon tonight and the full moon is my favorite since it is very lovely."

I look at his face as the moon rays hit his face making it clearer and radiant. Calmness is evident in his eyes, it sparkle against the light of the moon. He turned to me again and smile.

"Two days, give me two days."

"What are you gonna do with Asyla, anyway?"

Again, he did not answer, he walk closer to me and messed my hair. 

"I won't go home unless I see you enter your house."

"What the, okay fine! I'm going in now!"

I pressed the doorbell and after few moments mom came and opened the gate for me. I bid goodbye to Cjay then I went inside the house. Mom went straight to the kitchen first but get back quickly. I was at the stairs when she stopped me.

"Why you didn't let THEM IN to have coffee or something?"

Bunch of electricity crawl through my flesh and eerie. I see goosebumps all over my arms. My throat get dry like I did not drink since yesterday.

"T-Them? Cjay was the only person with me earlier."

I saw my mom's face become curious and confuse at the same time.

"Are you sure? I saw a female student, walk after CJAY away from you. She's wearing a uniform like yours and a PINK BRACALET."

I stopped my breath, my knees weaken. Who is that girl? And I am sure it's only me and him together earlier. Is that... Camille? But why did she tailed Cjay? What is her purpose?  Is he the next victim? I did not answer my mom and quickly get my phone and went in my room. 

I walked back and fort my room as I waited for Cjay to answer his phone. Until, finally he picked up.

"Are you home safe? You're not hurt right? No wounds, bruises, or scratch? Tell me!"

"Huh? Yeah, I am home and safe, no wounds, no bruises, no scratches. Why did you asked?"

"Huh? Ahm, I am just worried since it is late at night. You know, bad people are everywhere."

"I am good, okay? Now take a rest now. I will sleep now too. See you tomorrow at school."

"Okay, goodnight! And again, always take care."

He hanged up the call. I lie down on my bed with phone beside me. I like to shower first and change but I am too tired hence I fell asleep in no time.

"Help me! Help me!"

I found myself in the middle of darkness. I can't see anything. The last thing I remember was I fell asleep at my room so how come that I am here? Wait, I forgotten that someone shouted for helped, I need to find where it came from.
       
I turn around on my position trying to make my vision clearer but I failed.

"Help!"

I heard it again, but this time it's a guy. Their voices is familiar. So familiar to me. Therefore, I can't seem to remember. Then from afar a spotlight suddenly showed up and there I saw a girl. She is trying to stand up but can't. That's when I recognized her.

"S-Sally?"

Then another spotlight showed up. I saw my guy classmate bathing blood in his uniform. He stretch his hand to me. Yet, he can't go beyond the spotlight. Like they are been trapped.

"J-Jin?"

I tried to step forward but stop when they started to screamed and cried for help from me.

"Help me! save me! help! Please!  No!  I am begging you! it hurts! stop it! help!"

After that, some kind of power force them to get on their knees. They continue to cry but cannot say a words anymore. I am so scared, I like to help them but how? I cried and hugged myself and shut my eyes because I can't take to see them suffering in front me, they are dying again in front of me. Their cries become louder like their mouths are just beside my ears. That made me kneel down. I covered my ears.

"Stop! "

I shouted then both of them stop instantly then gaze at me with their sad faces. I pity them of course, they are too young to die. Besides, they are good to me though we did not actually became close when they were still alive. I removed my hands at my ears then a breeze pass through and touch my skin that made me tremble.

Then I heard a scary raspy voice right on my right ear. I can't understand what the person saying. She's speaking too fast. Words that I don't understand filled my head. I like again to cover my ears but I cannot, like I was enchanted and forced to listen. Then I heard a whispher at my left ear.

"Wake up."

At first, it is just a whisper, trying to interrupt me from listening to the one that keep saying words that I can't understand. But, I still can't move I can't even blink my eyes! Her whispher become shouts.

"Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up!"

Ting! My eyes opened. I was back in my bedroom. I get up from bed and check my phone.

"3:02 am"

I took a deep sigh and stood up to go in the bathroom when I heard a crackle thin sound of a rusty metal.  That's when I realize that my window is open. I slowly approached it holding my breath and peep at the window. Below, I saw the swing, cradle itself slowly. I shiver. However, I thought that air did it. A strong breeze. I am sure.

I was about to close the window when the swing suddenly craddle again and this time more force. When I look down... I saw Camille, Amari's doll sitting on it!

I quickly close the window and do sign of the cross. I caress my chest trying to make my heart calm when my phone vibrate. I quickly pick it to see who the hell will message me this kind of time.

"Have you had a nice dream?"

From: Unknown

Another unknown number message me but I know that person was the same to the last person that message me not to butt in at the game.

I speedily get my pillow and went to my mom and dad's room. Just thankful that mom is not a heavy sleeper.

"Why dear? Do you need something? My mom asked with her sleepy voice.

"Can I sleep here tonight?"

"Oh. My baby, sure. The bed is huge for us!"

I quickly get on the bed and hugged my mom. Then I tried to fall asleep again.
