Chapter 7 - -7-

"You know, this is the most difficult thing ever, Roberto, don't ever force me to remember something I don't want to remember at all. This is the most painful thing that has ever happened in this world, something that has never been imagined even until then. I feel like Selena really wasn't my destiny, I already knew that but you don't need to explain it, right? I don't want to say anything about it, but I want to say something even more mysterious, and—"

"Oh my God, Nathan. I forgot to tell you. If there's bad news here about another friend of yours,"

"What?" asked Nathan stupidly. What's bad? This was enough to make Nathan curious. It would never have been imagined even until then if all of this was a bad thing that was unthinkable even until then. "I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. what's wrong with my other friends?" asked Nathan with an annoyed expression on his face. Roberto also chuckled at Nathan's question.

"He is Bobby, you forgot your other best friend?" asked Roberto. Nathan also chuckled perfectly, he only understood now what Roberto meant. Yes, that person turned out to be Bobby.

"What? What about Bobby? Why didn't he say anything and didn't appear until now?" Nathan asked then.

Roberto immediately put on a sinister look, looking at Nathan with perfectly glaring eyes. Never imagined even until then if this terrible incident would happen, especially to his best friend.

"You remember the last time we had a party, right? We're drunk and we're both home too late? Don't you know that actually that night we should have crossed the line so much that we shouldn't have crossed it at all. A myth that is even the most terrifying that this world has ever seen. You remember this, Nathan. At a red full moon, no one is allowed to leave the house after eight o'clock at night, all lights must be turned off and doors and windows must be tightly closed. If we hear the sound of knocking on the door, the sound of footsteps, screams for help, even the howls of a wolf, we can't go out and try to find it. It is a sign of danger, because there are other existences that are awakening during the red full night, and all of these existences will eat away at our energy. if we are unlucky in this, the thing that will be even more terrible and horrible is, that terrible figure will catch us and eat us, throw us into the forbidden forest and throw away parts of our bodies the next day in the middle of the road and will be found by people with the most terrifying giggling sound. We'll be completely destroyed after that."

Nathan immediately backed away, he immediately rubbed the back of his neck that was suddenly swollen. He didn't want to remember anything at all, but how could Roberto seem to remind him again of that moment? A monstrous figure that Nathan could call a werewolf, had fiery red eyes with sharp fangs in his teeth, drooling as if longing for prey, with the most terrifying thick fur in the whole world.

"Nat!"

"Yes!" Nathan said in complete shock, as Roberto gave him a perfect pat on the shoulder. This is the most unfunny thing ever, and it is something that no one even imagined.

"You've heard my story, haven't you?" asked Roberto, rather annoyed. Nathan nodded hesitantly.

Damn! Nathan recalled the woman who had met him earlier, and for some reason Nathan felt scared to death again.

"Your story is terrible, I'm afraid to hear it, Roberto."

"However, you must listen clearly, Nathan. Because this is related to Bobby," said Roberto. And here, Nathan was taken aback. What does Roberto mean? How does this gripping story relate to Bobby? Even Nathan was aware and remembered very well that at that time Bobby had entered the house and closed the door tightly.

"How could it have anything to do with Bobby? What happened?" asked Nathan half forcefully. Roberto immediately raised his hands, he looked back at Nathan this time with that ghastly scary expression on his face.

"Yes, that night, Nathan, Bobby didn't come home either. He was limping to get into his house, and he kept trying to keep his face down. However, you know what happened after he was able to reach the door of his house?"

"What?" asked Nathan who was starting to get scared and tense.

"Bobby accidentally saw, Bobby accidentally saw a black shadow passing past his house, his eyes were bright red with thick hair all over his body. Bobby was immediately frightened at that time, he immediately fainted and now he is sick, he was taken to the hospital. Because he kept delirious asking for help and shivering with fear. All this news had been broadcast perfectly, a thing that was not imagined by everyone. And this also proves the rumors if everything is real and not just a myth. Bobby's home district area, which happens to be your home too, is the district area that is now the most terrible dark circle. Now the rangers, and some adventurous volunteers and some hunters are getting ready to open the veil in the forbidden forest. They won't go home until they make sure that the forbidden forest is safe. More than that too, one thing they might do. The government plans to cut down all the trees in the forest and will clear the land, making the forest one of the new tourist attractions. This of course will make the district where Bobby lives crowded, and will also ward off news like this. I always wished that werewolves were just a myth that would never exist in this world. I hope that if everything that existed and happened forever would also never exist again. I don't want terrors like this to come again. Everyone here knows, and you also know that this is an era where the problems of werewolves and so on are also not unimaginable even at any time. As a smart student, I hope you can take pictures of all the activities that occur, and report the same as what is reported by everyone. You have to be a good college reporter, Nath. More than that, I wonder if the forbidden forest is really their palace?"
