A girl walks quickly in the pouring rain. She used an umbrella to protect herself from the rain. Ignoring the wet road and her shoes filled with water, she continued walking quickly. She tried to get home as fast as she could.
Keyra stopped her steps and took a deep breath. She saw some people coming out of her house, again. The people were very neatly dressed. Two men wore suits and one woman wore a blouse and mini skirt. The three of them got into a black sedan and immediately left. Keyra stepped forward again. But when she arrived in front of the gate, she stopped again and stared at her house quietly.
"Meow..."
The sound of a cat whining interrupted her thoughts. The cat looked wet from the rain and now curled up at her feet. The cat looked cold. Keyra bent down and picked up the cat in one hand and went into the house.
Keyra put the cat on the floor then immediately took a small towel and dried the cat's fur. Keyra searched in her bag and found a small packet of cat food. She fed the cat and stroked it.
"Welcome home" a soft voice sounded. Keyra turned around. A middle-aged woman stood not far from her and then immediately left. Kerya stood up and followed the woman.
"They're coming again," Keyra said after she arrived in the same room as the woman.
"Hmm..." the woman muttered.
"Mom... Do you have to do this?" This was the umpteenth time she had asked this question.
"We've discussed this and I won't sell it for any reason."
Keyra sat next to Erina and let out a rough breath. "But maybe by selling this house, we can pay off all our debts, Mom! All our bills are also in arrears!"
"We can still survive, Ra. You work, me too." Seeing that Erina remained in her stance, Keyra could only sigh for the umpteenth time. "You'd better change clothes and get ready for dinner."
Keyra stood up without saying anything else. She went to her room. But her steps stopped near a table in the living room. She saw a pile of letters on the table. Keyra took some of the stacked letters. All of these letters contain bills that must be paid and also several notification letters. Keyra took a deep breath and put the letter back. Even though the letters kept coming, her mother was still reluctant to sell the house they lived in. The problem is her father died suddenly and left a lot of debt, even her mother didn't know about the debt. She climbed the stairs and entered her room on the second floor. Keyra threw her bag on the bed and then lay down without changing her wet clothes. Keyra put her hand on her head. Her head was full of her thoughts. She's really tired. She hoped at least she would get a good sleep tonight. Keyra opened her eyes. Keyra suddenly stood on a dark path. On the left and right are forests. There is no light there. Not even the moon.
"Noooo!!"
Not finished with the shock of where she was now, a woman screamed and ran past her. A flash passed through her too and hit the woman. The woman's body shook violently and uncontrollably.
"Filthy woman! You think you can get away from me?!" said a man who attacked her with some kind of lightning, who knows what it was.
The woman looked weak. But the man attacked her again. Without even touching it. The woman's body shook violently again.
"Stop it!" Keyra screamed. The man ignored her. The woman looked limp and helpless but the man didn't stop. "Stop it!!" Keyra screamed again. But still, the man didn't care about it. Keyra tried to touch the woman who was already stiff, but her hands couldn't touch her. She tried to grab it with both hands. Again, Keyra still couldn't touch her. The man was standing right next to Keyra and the woman. He shook her body with his feet. But the woman didn't move at all. Keyra tried to touch that man's hand. She couldn't touch it either.
"Is she dead?" a voice sounded from the darkness of the night. A man wearing a black robe came closer.
"It seems like."
Suddenly the man who had just arrived looked at Keyra. It was as if he saw Keyra. The man got closer to her and he strangled Keyra. Keyra was shocked and panicked. She couldn't touch the woman and that man, but this man could strangle her. Keyra hit that man's hand hard. But that man didn't even flinch and strangled her even harder. Keyra started to lose her breath and everything became dark...
"Cough! Cough!"
Keyra sat on her bed, holding her neck and trying to breathe normally. She looked around her. She was in her room still wearing wet clothes. Keyra breathed a sigh of relief. It turns out it was just a dream, but somehow it was so real. Even now her neck hurts. She had strange dreams like this several times. She doesn't know what it means. Keyra looked at her watch. It's already one o'clock in the middle of the night. Everyone must have been asleep and her hunger had disappeared. Keyra went to her bedroom window which was still open, closed it, and decided to change clothes and go back to sleep.
****
Keyra ran into the living room, the noise made her shower and put on her clothes in a hurry. She even let her wet hair down and it was still dripping with water. But the noise couldn't be ignored. Keyra arrived at the end of the stairs. She saw her mother lying on the floor. Her little brother leaned against the wall holding his neck. Even his legs were kicking in the air. He was strangled without being touched by the man in front of him.
A flash of lightning flashed and almost hit her. She was surprised.
"Are you crazy?! Don't kill her. That's an order!" said one person who had attacked her mother.
"I just wanted to scare her a little." The person who threw lightning at her defended himself.
"Hello chosen one..." one person greeted her with a slight bow. The man was wearing a black robe, no, everyone wore black robes except her mother and brother of course. Keyra was stunned. Seeing them was like seeing... The man in her dreams!
"She seems so impressed with us." said a man standing near the entrance. Everyone laughed.
"Wh-who are you guys?" Keyra finally asked. She wanted to go to her mother who was still lying on the floor and her younger brother who was sitting and leaning against the wall but was unconscious. She knew she couldn't be careless.
"We just want you to come with us… Voluntarily."
Keyra did not reply to the man's words. Her eyes were still focused on her mother.
"Oh, don't worry. Your mother is still alive. For now."
"What do you mean?" Keyra looked at the man standing right in front of the stairs.
"If you had come with us without a fight, we might have let them live." The man climbed the stairs one by one. "Don't worry, it won't take long."
"KEYRA!! RUN!" her mother screamed.
Keyra automatically ran back up the stairs to the second floor. Suddenly there was an explosion. Keyra shouted while still running and covering her head. The man who had come up the stairs had already chased her and was throwing flashes of lightning. Keyra ran down the second-floor hallway. She was showered with flashes of light and explosions that hit the walls of the hallway. She entered her youngest sister's room, Karina's, room. Yes, she just realized. Karina was not downstairs with her mother and younger brother, Randy. After locking the door, Keyra took her cell phone which was in the back pocket of her jeans. She pressed the button on her cell phone to ask for help, Keyra heard a voice from behind the door.
"Do you know? Even if you lock the door, it won't stop me." Said a male voice behind the door.
Yes, right. Keyra now knows that very well. For some reason, she wanted to go to this room and confirm the whereabouts of her youngest sister, Karina, who was still seven years old. Suddenly Keyra heard a sound coming from the closed wardrobe. Keyra ran to the cupboard and opened it. Sure enough, there was Karina in the cupboard.
"But if you surrender yourself, without a fight, we might not have destroyed this house and might not have killed your dear family." The man was still trying to persuade Keyra.
"Listen to me. Whatever happens, don't open this cupboard door. Do you understand?" Keyra whispered. "We played hide and seek. Until Randy finds you, don't ever come out and make a sound."
Karina nodded her little head.
"Do I need to count to three?" the man spoke again. His voice was louder than before. Keyra closed the cupboard door and looked for something. "Oh yeah. This house has been given a spell. No one will hear anything that happens in this house nor no one will be able to leave this house. So if you are thinking about jumping down, it's best not to. Because that won't work."
There was no answer from Keyra. But when the man opened his mouth to speak again, Keyra opened the door.
"Well, well, well... What a wise move." praised the man. Keyra looked at the man this time. The man was wearing all black. He even wore a black robe that looked ancient. The man's hair was jet black and close-cropped. The man looked about his father's age. "Let's go and don't play any joke again."
Keyra walked out of the room. But after only a few steps, she swung her little brother's toy stick and hit the man's head until the stick broke. The man screamed in pain while Keyra ran again. The man threw spells in all directions. One of his spells hit Keyra, causing her to slam hard into the wall at the end of the hall.
"You bitch!" The man had stood up and walked over to Keyra. Blood flowed from the corners of his eyes. "It looks like you need to be taught a lesson." The man recited the spell again and directed his attack at Keyra who was still sitting. Keyra closed her eyes and raised her hands to protect her head. But strangely nothing happened. The man cast the spell again and still couldn't hit Keyra. There is an invisible shield that protects Keyra. But it was just the two of them there, could it be...
"Gohm, what took you so long--" the man who had just arrived was surprised to see Gohm looking messy.
"She!! She can do magic!" Gohm shouted pointing at Keyra.
"What?! That's not possible! I have confirmed it myself she does not have that power, yet!"
"Then you said I was lying? Then take a look." Gohm opened his mouth to cast a spell. Keyra covered her face again. Her palms were open. From her palm, a light came out and hit Gohm roughly. The man who had just arrived was shocked.
"Electrandaz!"
Kerya's body shook violently. It felt like she had just been electrocuted. The man was about to approach Kayra but Keyra raised her hand and threw the man away. Keyra looked at her hands, was it true that I did it?
Kerya ran downstairs, where her mother and sister were. But being showered with spells made her take refuge. But she thought about her mother and Randy. Keyra was determined to run. He tried to avoid some of the flashes. That was quite strange of course, considering she wasn't a sports person and wasn't an agile person. But somehow her body seemed to move on its own. Keyra managed to get down the stairs and...
Brakk!!
Keyra's body hit the wall. Keyra grimaced in pain. Before she could relieve the pain, her body shook violently again. Her body suddenly lifted. Keyra held her neck which was not touched by anything. Her legs kicked in the air. Someone strangled her without touching her. Her neck ached, and her breathing began to hitch. Her eyes caught her mother, lying stiff and helpless. Keyra shed tears. Her body started to go limp. She started to lose consciousness and closed her eyes.
The next second, Keyra suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes are pure white. She seemed possessed by something. She stretched out his right hand and turned to strangle the man who was attacking her. The man was shocked. Several other people started attacking him. Keyra raised her left hand, creating an invisible shield that prevented spells from hitting her. Keyra quickly swung her left hand. Everyone was blown away. Keyra stood up straight without letting go of her choke. She tilted her head then smiled a little and... Krakk! The man's neck was broken.
One spell almost hit her. Keyra chuckled slightly then threw the spell caster away. She strangled one person with his right hand and another person with the other hand without touching them and then she banged them together. One person came from upstairs and threw spells in all directions. Keyra threw the man until he hit the ceiling and fell onto the table until the table broke.
"Key..."
Bugh!!
Without thinking or looking at who was calling her, Keyra swung her hand at the person who called her. Karina hit the wall and then just fell on the floor and became unconscious. Keyra was surprised. Her eyeballs returned to normal and she gained consciousness. She was shocked by what she did to her sister. Keyra covered her mouth with both hands and suddenly someone hit her head from behind. Keyra's body fell on the floor. But she could still hear and see vaguely.
The sound of the door being forced open was very loud. She saw flashes of light, although she didn't know who or what happened.
"You guys take care of all that. Take care of the two. I will take this one." said one person. Keyra's body felt lifted and then everything went dark.
