Curse of the Hidden Place

Episode 18

Collin

I don't know what should I say at this moment. I was shock because of what he's saying.

I don't know what I should feel right now.

Why did he need to say that to me. Are he, not even think what I will feel! Why he decided to confess even at the middle this crisis.

He's not even thinking what I will feel after what he have done.

What will I say to him? That I like him too? Or should I accept his feelings? How he will court me, we're in the middle of the world crisis.

Ughhh! I tap my head and shake it.

"Are you okay?" asked Mattheo.

He is looking at me since earlier.

I just nod at him.

"Let's go inside and see what is going on there!" asked Mattheo.

He offer his hand and give it to me but I rejected it.

"I'm okay! Don't mind me, Mattheo. I'm okay. Thanks! I said while looking at him.

Actually, I'm ashamed to him. I know that this is not the first time that, there's someone who confess his love for me but I don't know. It feels like, this is my first time again.

I decided to enter the house so I started to go there.

"Wait!" said Mattheo while holding my arms.

I look at him and he remove his hands to me.

"Where are you going, huh?" he asked.

"I am going inside. I'll follow Sir manoy! I really want to look for the cure so that we will go back to our lives after it." I said while I am looking at him.

"You know how dangerous inside, Collin. What if you go there, then you will never come back again?" He said.

I took a deek sigh.

"The curse will pass through saliva. I know it because the old man said that and I base it by the case of Gabbielle. So please, let me in." I said while looking at him.

"No." He said.

"Will you please stop it, Mattheo! I don't know what is your plans about me, but I assure you! You will never get what you wanted from me!" I said.

"Stay away from me. I can handle it by my own. I don't need you here." I said then walked away from him.

I don't know why I treated him again like that. I didn't mean to hurt him or make war with him. It's just happen that, I'm still on the process of acceptance and adaptation. Am I so rude to him?

I decided to do my decision. To take a way the path where, there is no Mattheo at my back. No Mattheo who is always beside me and holding me. No Mattheo who wants to take care of me.

I just realized that, I am still lucky. His feelings saved me from danger. But what did I returned to him? A rejection. And now, I'm avoiding him.

It hurts me when I'm doing it and my heart was digged into pieces because of it.

Come on, Collin. You have to continue entering the house even without him. I said to myself.

You can do it. I can do it! Even just by myself.

I slowly open the door and enter on it. I saw the antique furnitures hanging on the walls.

There is no human here. Even Sir Manolo or that zombie creature who is the reason why the world is suffering from the zombie outbreak.

I decided to enter the first room and slowly opened it. There is no one here. But there is something who caught my attention.

Then I enter the second room. Just like in the first room, I didn't see anything here.

If you will take a look at this house, this was exactly the image of a typical haunted house in the horror movies.

I didn't understand my feeling right now but all I know is, I need to be more careful if I want to survive.

Every step of my feet to the floor is the most careful move that I've done in my entire life.

At this moment, one thing stick to my mind. That, I really need to know and discover why is that happened. That in just a moment, the world turned into a massive graveyard.

I will do everything just to make sure that I will find the cure and solve this worldwide problem.

I know I can do it. Even without the help of everyone.

I will start with the clues from our experiences.

They said that Gabbielle was beaten by a creature who is like a zombie. Her body was full of blood and you can only see the white color in her eyes.

Why this place allow that kind of person to live here in so many years. I know that there is no individual who live here except Sir Manolo. And why he chooses to keep a person with that kind of problem.

If he already know the effect of this girl and her ability of carrying the curse in her body, why Sir Mattheo chooses to keep her. Why he didn't kill the monster early so that this will never happen. But no! He chooses to keep her.

I'm still bothering. Why he looks like, he's taking care of the monster here. I really have to discover his reason.

I will never give up until I found it.

I was walking in the living room of the old house when I heard a loud noise.

I get curious so I decided to go there and look what is happening there.

After a few minutes, I already found where is the noise, coming from. It is from the most huge house, here. I think.

There is only three rooms here and I found the noise in the room at the middle.

I slowly open the door and look what's going on inside.

But I was shock at after what I see. The old man. She is sitting next to the monster. But the monster didn't hurt him. She's not even that aggressive not like in their story. She looks like a melted sheep.

I accidentally hit the table beside me, caused it to create a loud noise.

I was about to caught but someone cover my mouth and pull me near at the window.

It was Mattheo.

"What are you doing here?" I said while looking at him.

"Ask that question later. But now, we need to get out of here." said Mattheo.

He help me to escape from the window.

After that we moved slowly away from the house.

He holds my hand while we were running away from that old house. I'm not sure what I am doing right now. All I know is, Mattheo save me again. And this time, I owe him everything.
