Blue Hour

Chapter 42

“But Ray, you are still not feeling well.” Miko said, and was about to stop me. 

“It’s okay, Miko. We will be back soon okay. You stay here on standby and get our nurse ready once we come back, okay?” I said. 

“I guess I have no choice.” Miko answered. 

I hurriedly went to the office and picked up a cap and one of our emergency phones. I also took a flashlight and began heading to the spot where Lena brought me before. I hope nothing bad will happen tonight. 

Since it’s night, it was very hard for me to follow the path going to the mountain beside Wish and Fly farm. This was my first time going out at night in this kind of place. I shifted my gaze as I tried to remember which way I should follow going to the mountain side. My body felt chilly as the night breeze hit my face, and the air was a bit moist. The night sky was darkening, hiding the stars that were visible earlier. 

I reached the rice field in no time. There were small posts ahead giving me enough vision walking towards the field. There were a lot of insects flying around me because of the flash light I was carrying. It felt a bit creepy walking in the night, but I mustered up my courage. There were a lot of things running through my mind already as I hurried to the mountain side. Well, I already experienced the unnatural, but I hope that will be the last. 

After passing the rice field, the path wound up into two. I need to pass the stream again so that I can reach the other way leading to the secret place that Lena showed me. I hope she was there.
