Hearing that sound we stop moving. They began to wonder who sneeze by making eye contact. When everyone use gesture to say that they are not the one who sneeze, all of them feel dreading feeling.

Nasrul then use small voice

“Run, run to the front. Do not look back”

Then they all start to run but not as fast as they can because they can still maintain the position they are in. The one who took the lead at the front is Zakiran. It good that he took the lead because he hold the candle so it illuminated the front side so they know where to step.

[Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap]

During their running they can hear the sound that is made by Tim. They do not know why they can hear Tim running sound although there is a lot of people that made the sound when running.

[Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap]

The longer their run the closer the distance between them and the sound of running made by Tim.

During the time they are running Nasrul feel uncomfortable. A sensation that he is feeling that made his feel like something do not fit together.

This is because it close to 10 second that they run just now.

[Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap]

When the sound of running made by Tim is closer, unconsciously Nasrul take a peek using the corner of his left eye and he see that Tim is drawing closer and closer to them. He saw that the image of Tim is really the same as in the game but although this follow the game there is disparities in it.

The lead at the front is Zakiran follow by Ani, Kalai, Nasrul and Kamra. Although Kamra is the most behind but the actual distance of all of them is only half of the wide of their body.

[Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap]

When the sound of Tim running is getting closer to the group, the tension of everyone increase considerately. This show on Kamra especially because she on the last, the distance of Tim running is closer and closer to her.

After that, Nasrul saw that Tim when he gaining distance that his hand can reach to Kamra, he put the right hand toward his back while opening the finger like in the rock-paper-scissor and he show paper. Then he swung the arm while turning his finger into a claw and he tried to attack Kamra.

When Nasrul saw this he grasped Kamra shirt from the front and pull it to the front. This give a little boost to Kamra speed although it is momentarily.

After Nasrul did that action his speed slower a bit and he feel more scared than ever. Because of feeling scared he move his head by reflex to see the distance between him and Tim. He saw something unbelievable.

Tim has stop chasing them. What Tim is doing is that he only stand at the place that he attacked and slowly disappearing.

“Stop running, that boy already gone”

Nasrul tell them while he is also slowing down at the time.

When they all heard what Nasrul said, all of them look at the back and began to stop running. They began to group up again.

After they group up again, Kamra then tell Nasrul.

“Sorry Nasrul, ha… although you ha…help me, I just run faster ha… to the front and leaving you”

“ha… If you need to apologize ha… all of us need to do it ha… none of us do anything but run to the front to begin with ha…”

Kalai said it when Kamra apologize to Nasrul while taking the air into the lung from out of breath from low oxygen.

“Do not worry ha… about it. All of us scared so ha… we will not think anything when we was chase”

After calming down and everyone has taken their breath, they began to talk about what happen.

“That really scary” Zakiran

“Yeah, I feel like almost peeing my pant when that thing came out suddenly. That sound from our back almost get me a heart attack” Kalai

“Can you not talk about peeing like that like it normal to talk about it! That ghost why it disappear suddenly” Kamra

“Yeah, it really weird to suddenly disappear like that. That boy chase us for quite some time to begin with, not just began to chase and disappear but already involve to attack” Ani

“In the game, Tim only chase you for a few second and then disappear. At most he chase you only for two to three second. This chase can be considered long enough” Nasrul

“You want to say it different from the game is that it?” Kalai

“Yes, it was different from the game. It like from the action that already was place, new action was added” Nasrul

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

“Is that the reason why the boy do not attack you?” Zakiran

“It is probably the reason. I think the new rule that is added to Tim is that he will chase you until he attack you. After he attack he will not chase you anymore no matter the attack was successful or not” Nasrul

“Urgh, that is hard then. That means the boy will chase you until he attack. Then a person with lower stamina has to wait for the boy to attack and dodge that attack. If he run that only result in him be attack” Kamra

“If he get attack it will spell dead end to him because he will be caught and kill” Nasrul

All of them go quiet after that.

“Ok, everyone. How about we go to the next clue? Even if we stay here nothing will gonna change until we do it ourselves” Ani

In a minute after that.

“Wow, this well is just around the corner” Zakiran

“Never though that it this close from where we stop from” Kamra

“Well, we run as fast as we can in the same direction to begin with. Hahaha” Ani

“So what do we have to do here?” Kalai

“If I not wrong, the clue is around the well. Something to do with plushie or teddy bear or something like that” Nasrul

“we just have look around this place then” Kamra

After that, the separate with just a reachable distance that can let them reach each other.

The separation is also according to the people that hold the candle.

The reason is that because of the candle that can only illuminated so that the clue can be see.

 The group is divide into three with Nasrul and Kamra, Kalai and Ani and Zakiran alone. This is because Zakiran is the only guy that have the candle and Kalai take this chance to group up with the girls.

Although, Nasrul just want this end this as fast as possible so he did not mind grouping with whoever it is. Kamra is the one who goes and said that she want to group with Nasrul because she feel more save because Nasrul save her before.

Nasrul and Kamra is in charge of finding the clue at the right side while Kalai and Ani is in charge finding the clue at the left side of the well. Zakiran is in charge at the well while keeping a look out because he is the only one alone so he get the least job of them.

While checking the bush for the clue while Kamra use the lamp to illuminated the area surrounding the two of them, Kamra start t have small talk.

“Nasrul, about before I just want to thank you again for saving me” Kamra

“It is nothing, I just do it just by reflex. I do not think that really save you” Nasrul

“Well you really is a humble person are you not Nasrul” Kamra

“Humble. Hrmmnn, I do not think I am humble of anything (Well I cannot say to her that I just want to try whether I can save her at that time or not)” Nasrul

While saying that Nasrul show a face of questionable person and then the face of ‘what this girl talking about?’. Kamra saw the change on the face of Nasrul but she just giggle at the back.

When talking Nasrul sometime look to the right side where Kamra is standing. This is the reason that Kamra can see Nasrul facial expression because of the light from the candle.

Nasrul is person that like to talk when facing someone and it became his habit to look at them occasionally when doing another work.

Then after sometime searching the surrounding including the place in the bushes, a scream than rose up.

“Kyaaaaaaaa”

Then everyone shock when heard a scream suddenly.

“What! What! Is that Ani voice just now?” Nasrul

“I think it is Ani voice” Kamra

“Did they meet some trouble?” Nasrul

It took some time for Nasrul and Kamra to get their head sort out. They began to look at each other, they just wait who want to take a lead in running there. Nasrul then sigh and begin running to the direction of the voice.
