Hide and Seek Book 1: Book of the Urban Legend

Chapter 40

"Pawns are the greatest material that I will ever use. Only knights. They move like an L-shaped in the board, just to protect the queen. Just to protect the king. But the rook will just move forward until one by one they lost and die, until... CHECK.MATE!"

"Chess?" Kath asked.

"Yeah." Bryan nodded.

"Apparently, I have a feeling that someone is playing on us." Bryan said.

"What?" Ken asked and looked at Bryan.

"Like chess. That stupid princess is playing on us. On the chessboard. Kath is the queen, Ken is the king, I am the bishop, Kristine and Alex are the rooks, Michael is the knight, and the rest are the pawns." Bryan said.

"I would rather kill Ken than me." Kath smirked.

"Shut up or else I will push you and you'll fall to the ground." Ken hissed.

"Y-Yessir!" Kath said nervously.

Ken sighed, he knows that too. But there's an odd feeling. An odd feeling about Jessa. He thinks that she is hiding something. Something important. Until he noticed he was staring into space.

"I'm going somewhere." He said and jumped off the tree he was sitting at and run away.

"What's with him?" Kath asked Bryan, who just shrugged.

Ken's PoV

Jessa Rodriguez. I think I heard that name before. Not in the human world nor in my past life. But still me and Michael have a girl best friend named Jessa Rodiguez too, but there's something with him.

"Earth to big brother Ken. Earth to big brother Ken!" Joshua yelled.

"Uh... w-what brings you h-here?" I stuttered.

"Hm... we sneak out in the house and run towards to the park until we saw you here sitting in this tree staring of in the sky." Michaela said. Joshua nodded.

"Oh." Was the only word that comes out from my mouth.

"Hey! There you are!" Michael yelled from the distance.

I stand and brush of the dirt in my pants. I looked at him, panting.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I just want to ask you. Did you hear about the angel of massacre?" He asked.

"The angel of... massacre?" I said questionaly. I didn't heard of it especially in heaven. But wait, I think I heard it in rumors that it was the only angel that affilates with the devil and can destroy the world even the Kingdom of Spirits.

"Yeah. I know it can turn into the person we know that is dead or whatnot. But one person in our group is the angel of massacre." He said.

"What?!" I gasped wide-eyed.

Michael noded. "We need to be careful. Especially with Jessa." He said lowly.

"Especially with her. There's something odd about that girl." I said and looked down.

"What do you mean?" The three asked in sync.

"I didn't know her. And, I don't have feelings for that girl, and she's not the real Jessa we know." I said.
