The Bridge of Satan
Next Victim?

Meanwhile, on the side of the team that search for the bodies of Agus and Rahmat. They were entering the forest deeply and were not afraid to get lost a second time. For now they had brought a small knife which was found by Grace back then. With the knife they made a mark every time they passed through the trees that became their way to search for corpses.

They scratched the tree and left a mark of a horizontal line. Although this made their search slow, it was at least for their safety. They passed through a different forest than the previous one to browse through the new place at the moment.

Until they finally stop somewhere and see an awkwardness.

"Wait a minute." said Grace who pulled Agus' clothes suddenly and told him to stop walking.

Then Rahmat showed her finger to tell Agus what she saw. They were surprised that there was a footprint in front of them that kept straight ahead. The visible footprints were still new on the slightly muddy road. They are currently confused whether they should follow the footprints or continue straight ahead to continue the search.

"So... What are we going to do? Mercy.." said Agus who waited for the decision of Grace.

"Of course we will follow these footprints, there may still be others alive." said Grace who wanted to follow the footprints.

"Wait, how about we get caught? what if the ghost that killed Zilan traps us?" said Agus who looks scared, but he is usually the bravest child.

He became a little more timid as Zilan died right before his eyes and saw the tragic condition of Zilan's death. Maybe it made him have a trauma, well, indeed it was an unavoidable thing. Because in the end fear will definitely fill the hearts of people.

But Grace still thinks rationally, "Didn't ghosts leave no footprints?" said Grace that made Agus speechless embarrassed.

Then in the end Agus followed Rahmat's decision to follow my footsteps while leaving a line mark on every tree they passed. The footprints were still imprinted on the slightly muddy ground, which meant that this place had just been passed by a living person. Because this mud will definitely close back and remove traces if this place has long been passed.

The two of them continued walking forward following those footprints. But the longer they felt there was something strange about those footprints, his footprints became increasingly unclear because there were other traces that made his footprints mixed with other objects that touched this land.

We became even more curious and agitated, even so because we had been through this place, inevitably we had to follow these footprints to the end. Until finally.. kresek! crackle! suddenly they heard something in front of them where the footprints were going. The voice and the footprints were behind those lush bushes.

They became more and more agitated to see it, the bushes continued to twitch and make them feel afraid.

"Hey Gus... What is ahead?.." asked Grace, who would not continue to follow the footprints that led behind the bushes.

"I don't know, you check there! it is you who want to pass through this place." ketus Agus.

Then in the end, Rahmat ventured to continue his steps closer to the bush despite still feeling afraid. Agus walked behind Rahmat slowly just in case he ran ahead of Grace in case something bad happened.

"Good.give me that knife." said Grace just in case she had to stab something if it was dangerous.

Srak! srak! Grace walked forward into the bushes while slashing the tall grass. Agus walked far behind him in fear. The srek! srek! srek! suddenly they heard something from the front walking quickly towards them behind the bushes.

"AUGUS! LARIII!!!!" said Grace who ran out of the bushes.

Rahmat was surprised because Agus was not seen in front of him because Agus had run away from Rahmat with a fast. Meanwhile Grace was still inside the bush and something moving quickly behind the bushes was working on it quickly. Grace threw away the knife in her hand spontaneously in order to run freely.

However..bruk! Grace fell because her feet were caught by the huge roots on the ground. Meanwhile the creature continues to chase him and...

"YAHOOOOOOOOOO!!!" shouted Grace so loudly that the voice was heard by Agus who had left him far away.

With guilt Agus continued to walk home following the signs he left on every tree he passed. Shouts of Grace kept swirling in his mind as feelings of guilt had left him alone in danger.

...****************...

Me, Bagas and Wawan are in danger. That terrible figure did not want to leave also from before me and remained silent in front of me. Even though he removed his snoring voice, I knew it was that he was still in front of me to wait until I opened his eyes. But I won't open my eyes at all until I really know that he's gone.

I can still hear it. The sound of flesh wriggling from the body of this figure. Just imagining it makes me sick and scared to death. How can a creature whose whole body is rotten and apparently the formless can still live roaming around.

I kept my eyes closed and stopped moving as long as he was still in front of me. I can still breathe very little to take a breath so we are thought to be dead by it. My breath became congested from not being able to take a breath properly in general. It made my chest depressed and it hurt even more.

Tap!... tap!.. tap! a bam! until finally the creature has completely left and closed the door of his class. Finally I was able to breathe with relief again and opened my eyes wide. Then stretched my body that had been silent petrified, while my friends were still silent and thought the creature had not left.

It seemed like they were still so frightened that they did not hear that the creature had left while slamming the classroom door. Then I told them that the creature was gone and they were moving freely again like before.

They are very tired and weak because they have to feel tremendous fear and must not move and breathe properly. They pull up the stool and sit leaning over by stretching their bodies. We really did not expect to escape from the grasp of the creature.

"Huh.. I really did not expect this.. we can survive.." said Wawan with relief while exhaling deeply.

Well.. not only Wawan who did not think that he could survive. Me and Bagas thought so, and then for a while we can't go out first. Because it could have been waiting for us at that door. So what we're doing is collecting more food that hasn't been taken here.

Meanwhile, Anis and Lilis are also eager to pick wild berries and cherries whose fruits can be reached to be taken. Sometimes they also eat the fruits they gather in moderation because they cannot stand sweet foods. Especially Anis who always keeps candy in her pocket.

Then when Anis and Lilis were busy picking fruit alone, Agus suddenly came alone and approached them with a frightened face. Anis and Lilis were surprised to see him coming with such a condition. Then... Agus immediately recounted the incident that befell Rahmat as he left her and ran fiercely here. But because Agus was tired and his breath was nudged because he was tired of running, so he rested first for a while until he could breathe properly.
