Chapter 5 - Chapter 4: Signs of Danger?

7.00 am

Loshini: Wow, I'm surprised that you can still walk normally with that deep injury on your leg.

Mithran: Of course I am, I'm strong enough to endure any pain, no matter how hard it is.

Loshini: Honestly, I'm impressed, but you still haven't tell me why are we heading to the temple again?

Mithran: I want to meet Gurudev, how can I not meet him after everything happened in our house last night?

Loshini: I'm sure he must have been aware of these things, right Mithran? I mean, he is YOUR Gurudev.

Mithran: I'm sure he does.....but let's not forget that we are going to meet him just to see if there's anything we can do to stop these.

Loshini: And if there's nothing he can do?

Mithran: ( sighs ) I guess we have to come up with a plan to stop the evil works.

Loshini: Uh....I don't get it.....what we can do to the evils? We are humans and we can't stand against them, that's too dangerous.

Mithran: I know it is, but if we keep running away, things will get worse than we thought.

So, let's talk to Gurudev and see if he can help us to solve this problem.

Loshini: I don't know about you, Mithran, but these things which are happening right now make me sick and tired.

Mithran: It's all worth it for our own good, we have to get through this.

Loshini: I hope so.....by the way, are we there yet? How far is the temple? Gosh, I couldn't even remember the way to get there. You said it's close to our house.

Mithran: Stop blabbering. Look, if you want to go back to our house, I'm not stopping you, I'll go and visit Gurudev by myself.

With that said, Mithran started to walk faster than before, leaving Loshini behind.

Loshini: Wait, Mithran!!! How could you leave me behind?! Don't abandon me, the evils might start to attack me!!!

Loshini quickly followed Mithran in a fast pace, but it's too late now because they had reached to Sivan Temple.

Loshini: Is this it? It looks totally different the last time I came here.

Mithran: Time flies fast, and so do our life. Come on, let's go inside and meet Gurudev.

Loshini: But, why isn't there any people here? I thought this would be a crowded place.

Mithran and Loshini took out their slippers and went inside the temple.

Mithran: This is actually a secret temple, which no one was even aware that this temple is exist.

Loshini: We're keeping this temple as a secret from the whole world?

Mithran: Well....you could put it in that way.

Mithran and Loshini closed their eyes, folded their hands and pray to Lord Shiva which was in front of them.

Loshini: But where's Gurudev? He might be around here somewhere.

Mithran: Let me call him out. Gurudev!!! Gurudev!!!

Gurudev walked out of his room and spotted Mithran and Loshini in the temple, he was surprised to see Loshini after a long time.

Gurudev: Welcome back, Mithran. And Loshini, it's been a while since I saw you last time.

Loshini: Sorry Gurudev, I can't find the right time to visit the temple, until right now.

Gurudev: Well, I can see that from his deep injury, I knew this was gonna happen.

Mithran looked down to see his injury on his leg.

Loshini: So, you did know that this will happen?

Gurudev: Everyone's fate has been written the second they were born in this world. No one can change it.

Mithran: But Gurudev, I'm confused, how come these things are happening all of a sudden? I mean, last night, me and my friends, we felt something powerful surrounded us. It even tried to attack us, but thank god your idea prevented them from getting us.

Loshini: ( looks at his leg ) Almost...

Gurudev: But it won't last long, Mithran. You need to do something even more to save you and your friends. The time is limited.

Mithran: But, I'm sure there must be a way to stop them, right? There must be some sort of a weapon or....power to destroy them.

Loshini: Yeah, definitely!!

Gurudev: Not so fast, Mithran. Do you think everything happened without any reason? Do you think they attacked you and your friends without any reason? Do you think you and your friends are in danger without any reason? Do you think there's no answer to any question?

Mithran and Loshini looked at each other before turning back to Gurudev.

Gurudev: If the evils wanted to get something from you, then you must have some sort of a link to them. If you came to know the reason behind these things happening, then I'm sure you can find out how you can put an end to this.

Mithran: Ok, I get that. But, where should we start? We are lost now.

Loshini: You're right, I don't see the starting point of your next move.

When they were discussing, the bells hanging on the ceiling started to swing violently out of the blue. Three of them looked up and they were taken aback by the sudden change of atmosphere in the temple.

Loshini: What's happening? Why are the bells swinging so much?

Gurudev: It's a sign...

Mithran: Sign of what?

Gurudev: Danger!

Mithran: What do you mean, Gurudev?!

Gurudev: Looks like the evils are about to do something to you and your friends again.

8.00 am

On the other side, Kai Wen was jogging on the street with his sweatpants and t-shirt like he would always do. He was wearing his earpods so he hardly ever listen to his surroundings.

Kai Wen: Just 10 minutes more and we will go back home, this sun is getting hotter than usual. Have mercy on me, Mr. Sun.

The sun might have mercy on Kai Wen, but not on the things that were about to happen again by the work of evils.

Back at Lan Wei's place, he was searching for the friends with his dark magic. Out of the friends, he found Kai Wen who was jogging outside. He smirked devilishly and raised his left hand, that released a black orb behind him.

Alvin: Sir, are you sure this will work? Are we rushing things right now?

Lan Wei: We are not rushing things, Alvin. We have to make our first move to make our dream come true.

Alvin: By starting to kill Kai Wen? In the middle of nowhere? I'm not trying to discourage you, but I'm sure if this will work.

Lan Wei: Hey, you don't have to worry about my plan, I know just what to do. All I need to do is to send a devil that will possess someone nearby, and that devil will take control of that person to hurt Kai Wen until he's dead.

Alvin: O....k.....,but who do we have there to be possessed, the people seem to be nothing but weak.

Lan Wei: Let me have a look, there must be someone who can end his life immediately.

Lan Wei was searching around the area to see if anyone could help him to Kai Wen, and that's when he saw a truck drove down to the street in a normal speed. He smirked widely and he casted a spell on the truck driver.

The truck driver lost his own control and he was possessed by an evil demon which was sent by Lan Wei. His eyes became red and his face become disfigured.

Kai Wen was exhausted and he rested himself by leaning onto a thick tree. The truck driver noticed him from far away and he pulled the gear that made the truck went faster. He was spinning the wheels that made the truck went right and left in an unstable way.

Meanwhile, Mithran and Loshini were walking by the street after they met Gurudev.

Loshini: What should we do? Gurudev said we are in danger.

Mithran: How do I know what to do? Do you really expect that I should be the one to think everything about? I'm not that smart.

Loshini: It's not about being smartness, it's about being realistic. I highly doubt if the signs of danger could have started by now for us.

As Mithran and Loshini kept having their own conversation, she saw Kai Wen leaning onto a tree which was not far away from them.

Loshini: Hey look, that's Kai Wen.

Mithran: What? Kai Wen? Where?

Loshini: There, below that huge tree.

Mithran looked closely until he saw Kai Wen too.

Mithran: Oh, what a coincidence. Shall we tell him about Gurudev's words first?

Loshini: Um, do we have to? I mean, we can tell this when everyone's at home.

Mithran: And risking to save it up later before anything could happen to them? We can't wait to tell them in the right time. Come on, let's go and tell Kai Wen first, and we'll go back to our home and tell Hui Yi and Xin Li everything.

Loshini: Ok, you're right. Let's go.

When Mithran and Loshini was about to walk toward Kai Wen, they saw a truck which was driving out of control not far away from them.

Mithran: What is wrong with that truck?! Why is it coming so fast?!

Loshini: Is there a driver inside?! I can't believe there are still some idiots who drive like crazy.

Mithran: But....why is it coming in our direction? What if it's....

As Mithran looked closely, he realised that the truck was going towards Kai Wen in a fast pace. He widened his eyes in shock as he remembered Gurudev's words were true.

Mithran: Oh no, the truck is going to run over Kai Wen!! Kai Wen!!

Mithran immediately ran towards Kai Wen and started to call him out loudly.

Loshini: Mithran!! Where are you going?!

Mithran: Just stay right there, it's too dangerous!!

Loshini: But what about you?!

Mithran: I'll be fine, don't worry about me.

Mithran kept calling out for Kai Wen as loud as he can, but he can't hear him since he was wearing airpods. He looked back and the truck was getting closer.

Lan Wei: Finish him off!!!!!!!!

Mithran: KAI WEN!!!!!

What is going to happen next? Will Mithran save Kai Wen from the danger? Or will the evil win this time?

To be continued...
