After placing all book on her table. Klara immediately sit herself tiredly. Clara glanced at the book which opened all of sudden.
"Clara" There is only one one word written on the page. Of course its Kevin book.
"Yes?" Clara replied subsciously
"There's something wrong with your room in the Inn."
"Whats wrong? Is it the doll? That night after i entered the room, i keep have a bad feeling about the doll." Clara tries to remember any strange things that happened that night she entered the Inn. And the most strange things Clara can think of is the Doll. The corridor is also creepy though.
"Yes. Now you've become a Magician, your senses also get sharped. Magician can traces of magic use with his/her sense. Despite becoming a Magician recently, your senses already become sharp enough and can feel that something is wrong. Although you can't pinpoint out whats wrong with it." Kevin explained
"So its like that. No wonder i keep having a bad feeling that night. Then what happened to the doll? Did it move?" Clara asked while feeling creepy. Clara begin imagined if that night, the doll decided to move and sit beside me when i sleep. Then the first thing i will see after wake up is that doll face.
"The only thing that moves is it eyes. It keep following your movements. Even when you sleep and mumble something."
'Urgh..Its creepy. It feels like i'm having a stalker' Clara thought.
"What the fuck. Is stalker now that capable? They can even use magic and control a doll." Clara ridiculously said
"Well technically yes. There's alot assasin that can use creepy magic like that to spy their target. Well for your case its not a stalker neither an assasin. Because from the forest we stayed till the inn, i dont sense any person that trail after you. The problem maybe inside the Inn." Kevin replied
"Inside the inn?" Clara asked
"Yes. I can sense a little magic power inside the Inn. And the doll, i suspected it was a doing by shaman."
"Shaman?" Clara asked confusedly.
"Yeah. Shaman is a term of person who use magic in old times. They usually uses curses and something like that. They can also bring you a fortune. Shaman often setting up a ritual to do a magic. And the ritual need many ingredients including some part of human body. If ever they dare to steal some part of human body they will arrested immediately. Thats why shaman is a rare case now." Kevin explained patiently.
"Then whats the connection between shaman and vodoo?" Clara asked the main point of the topic.
"The problem is that.. Voodoo is one of magic that used by shaman. It can control doll and do something that assasin can't do. Kill someone using a doll. Assasin can only observe a movement through the doll eyes but Shaman can actually control the doll and do anything he/she likes."
"The doll can even use curses. Thats one of the reason using ancient magic is prohibited. The ancient magic are more dangerous than the current magic." Kevin continued.
Clara gasped in horror. She thought the doll can only observe her. But now knowing the truth the doll can actually kill people, Clara begin afraid comeback to inn later. Clara gulped her saliva.
"So you suspect that there is a shaman reside inside the inn?" Clara with a shaky voice said.
"Yes im pretty sure 99% there is a shaman inside the inn." Kevin replied.
"Oh my.. What should we do now??? I can't just ask the owner directly if there is an shaman inside the inn right?" Clara bit her fingertip because nervousness.
"Just relax okay. Just act normally later and you will not get any harm. The fact that you're here without any harm proves that right? Maybe you can find something about voodoo in some that books." Kevin suggested reasonably.
"Oh right.. Say Kevin, why you always act cooly without any nervous? Just now i'm scared out of hell after hearing your explanation. But you always maintaning an act based on logic and tried to resolve the problem with any possible way." Clara asked curiously.
"Well its because i'm a book and you're human." Kevin replied shortly.
"Whats the point of that?"
"The point is.. If you get discovered or something bad happen to you. The one will suffer most is you. But i'm only a book. The worst outcome for me is getting burned, but i can get out with my magic. And the best outcome for me if you died is that i can get another owner" Kevin answered logically.
Clara still trying to understand his words. Then she suddenly widened her eyes
"YOU!!" She furiously shouted.
