873 Words
After they got home last night, Edna feels so uncomfortable neither at school nor at home. She just felt somethings has been watching her from every corner. Smith realizes that and when they get back home from school, Smith quickly tell his parent that he's going to Edna's house.
'Knock! Knock!'
"Yea, who's there?"
"It's daddy, Edna, Smith is here, can he come into your room?"
"Oh, sure, it's unlocked, just come in."
"Hey", Smith slowly walks into her room.
He doesn't really know how to get the start conversation, seeing Edna who seems so busy browsing the internet in her laptop.
"Hey, urm, what are you browsing?" Edna didn't respond.
"Edna, what are you doing?" This time he asks again and grabs her by her shoulder.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just, you know, searching for something."
"I know, I can see that, but what is it? Just tell me. I know there's something you hiding from me, spill it, Edna. Let me know."
"I don't know if I can tell you this. Will you believe me? I feel so weird, like after we got back from that place the other day, I felt there's something watching me everywhere I go. I'm scared, Smith. You said there's nothing bad will happen, but what is this, Smith?"
"Oh, God," Smith then sit next to Edna and hug her as she starts to cry.
"I'm sorry, Edna. I really do. I didn't know that it will bother you so muc. I'm sorry."
Smith wipes her tear and he takes a look on what Edna have been searching for. It is about the abandoned hospital and it shocks him whenhe read one of the articles. There really is something suspicious about that hospital. No wonder Edna feels so scared.
"Edna, did you saw something inside the hospital building when we were standing infront of the main entrance door?" Smirth asks and Edna seems to be shock by the question.
"How do you know?"
"Just tell me, did you saw something inside the building?"
"Yea, I saw people inside the building. I don't know how or why, but it does look so lively. Like the hospital is operating like usual. It's so bright, and there's a nurse, she, I think she,"
"Stop, Edna! Don't mention that. I think I know, relax, okay. I'm here for you, I won't leave you. I'll stay here tonight."
"Thanks, Smith."
It's 10pm now and Edna couldn't close her eyes. She keeps looking at every corner of her room and she sees Smith sitting on the couch.
"What's wrong, Edna?"
"I can't close my eyes. When I close my eyes, I see the hospital, and her."
"Oh no, we can't let this continue any longer. Let's go back to the hospital."
"Smith, are you crazy! I'm not going back there."
"Edna, we have to. It's been several days you've been like this. Look at your eyes, it's darker now. I want to help figure this out, maybe we could find an answer if we go back there."
"But, what if," Edna feels reluctant.
"Trust me."
Here they are again, standing outside the gate right infront of the hospital. For a moment, Edna close her eyes and take a deep breath to calms herself and to gather all her strength. As they walk in, winds suddenly blow passes them and Edna quickly grabs Smith's hand. Edna feels so weird this time, there is no light in the building this time and everything looks normal, for an abandoned hospital, everything looks so dark inside, and she's not in there tonight.
"Can we go in now?" Smith asks,
"Yea sure, there's nothing inside. Nothing uncommon."
First step in, second step in goes by the next step, there seems to be nothing wrong in particular, so they brave themselves to search for clues regarding on what Edna saw and felt these days. They get in deeper and deeper in the hospital, without knowing, they arrive at a place where they have never seen in any hospital before. It neither operation room nor morgue, but it does looks like this area had been covered in lots of bloods before. At the corner of the room, Edna sees something flashy, it quite uncommon to see something that bright in the dark but she still go there to see what it is as if it drawing her conciousness away.
"Hey, Smith, come here!"
"What is it, Edna?"
"Look at that, is that a nametag? Why is it so flashy from afar but it becomes dull and dirty when I get closer to it."
"Let see here, M, A, R, Y. Ouh, let's just put it aside for now and, don't say it like it supposed to be said okay, Edna. Remember this."
Edna just nods, she seems to catch up easily on what Smith trying to tell her. It's been a few hours already and they decides to go home. Luckily for them, it's school break starting tomorrow and they're not worry to get up late.
"Smith, let's just take a break for few days okay, I want to have a peaceful rest this school break."
"Sure, Edna. Anything for you."
They both chuckle, heading towards Edna's house.
