Hide and Seek Book 2: The Mysterious Child

Chapter 77

A dark red crimson eyes are shining from the dark. It was him. He was grinning from ear to ear and on it's back was the HellHound.

"What the..." Kath muttered.

"It was not finished yet." Came a low raspy voice from him.

Kathleen stared at him. Suddenly she fell unconscious. Kristine catched her. And all of them heard a distorted sound of static. All of them fell onto their knees and he was laughing evily.

"All of you are weak!" He said insanely. Suddenly the HellHound attacked Alex. She looked at her front and gasped. It raised it's sharp claws above it's head. Alex closed her eyes.

But she didn't felt anything.

Opening her eyes, she saw a blood dripping from certain someone. She slowly look up and her eyes widened.

Alexander was standing in front of her. The sharp claw from the creature had pierced his chest.

"Alex!" They heard Jeffrey yelled.

"Alex..." Alexandria muttered. "B-Brother..." She teared up. Then there's a beeping sound that came from Jeff. He looked at the watch on his wrist. His eyes widen when he saw the text:

7 alive - 3 dead

Then the watch returned into it's original state.

"7 alive..." He said lowly.

"7? Then that means..." Kath said and didn't finished her sentence.

"Ian, CJ, and Alexander are dead." Bryan said and bit the bottom of his lip. Alexandria stared at her brother.

"Shit." Kath cursed.

"7? But..." Kristine started.

"But?" Jeff looked at her.

"There's you, Kath, Bryan, Alex, me, and Kathleen. There's the only 6 of us." She said.

"Eh?! Then who's the other one?!" Jeff said out loud. He fell silent and the two stared at each others' eyes.

"Ken..." Kath and Jeff muttered. Both of them looked at him to find him missing. And, they saw Ken was slumped into a tree with his eyes bleeding but it looked like tears.

"Ken!" Kath shouted and ran towards him.

"Guys!" Alex yelled. The five looked at her. "They... They're corpse disappeared!" She said out aloud.

"What?!" Jeff and Bryan yelled. Jeff looked at his wrist watch. And he found written in red:

Criz Ian Gutierrez, Christiana Tejero, and Alexander Andoy…

Are dead

Jeff froze. Bryan looked at the watch and he didn't know what it meant.

"Their existance... Are erased once they had a contact with the devil and the HellHound itself." Jeff said.

"Eh?!" Kristine and Kathleen gasped.

"Kath!" Jeff yelled.

"Get away from him!" Bryan and Jeff yelled. Kath looked at the two boys then at the unconscious Ken.

"Him? Who's him?" Kath asked. While her back is turned, Ken smirked and opened his dark red crimson eyes.

"Just get away from him!" Jeff yelled.

"Wha-?!" She froze when she felt something cold touched her wrist.

"Fuck the bloody hell! Kath run!" Bryan and Jeff yelled.

Kath tried to run but she can't get away from his grasp.

"Let me go! Ken, let me-" she gasped when she saw Ken has a dark crimson eyes and a black complexion. He is grinning evily. Kristine stared at him to found a matching necklace on him. Bryan saw it too.

"The necklace..." Both of them muttered.

"The necklace is the key." Kathleen said that the only the three of them can hear.

"Why can't you just shut the fuck up?" Ken said angrily. Kath can feel his breath, the HellHound was behind them.

And she knew it was the end.
