"Wow, what can I say...it's incredible." Bertha says with amazement filling her eyes. Mason, Bertha, and I are standing in front of the portrait holding with us silence. Ethan and Darius enter the room with depth failure that I can explain from their eyes.
"We couldn't find him." Darius explains.
"We should go to Kevin's house. We might find a clue or something." I say.
"She's right, we might find evidence." Ethan says.
The home:
The house in the middle of the woodland looks worn out. But Kevin was right; it is the white hole comparing to the forest. The house is timbered but painted in white. It's tumbledown; no one would live here in such conditions except for visitors. The way I feel toward is house is definitely different from the investigators'. Despite how the house looks deserted and derelict, this house has a lot of things that pulls me into it. But I don't have the closet glimpse about what the things are.
"The door is open?" Darius asks.
Mason checks the door. It swings as it shows a clear corridor leading immediately into a chamber. They all ready their pistols. Ethan enters first as he shows some incomprehensible signs to his group. I follow him and I can notice Mason and Bertha being irritated.
"I mean—"Bertha says.
"Just move." Mason murmurs as he follows me—Ethan.
We enter immediately into the room that is at the center of the hallway. The Four gets separated all of the sudden, Ethan with me and Mason in the room while Bertha and Darius went to the other room.
We check on the room, I feel for a sudden that someone just passed by the hallway. I come across the hallway to check on it, leaving Ethan and Mason. I see someone again, better this time.
"Hey!" I shouted as I follow the unknown.
"Analia!" I hear Ethan from behind.
The unknown leads me to the backyard. I lose the track. He is no longer noticeable.
"Analia,hey!" I hear Ethan, one again, running across my path. Suddenly, we hear a gunshot. Ethan catches my hands. He takes me as he retraces his path back again. We reach the house.
"What were you thinking?" Bertha shouts at me.
"I saw Ceylon." I say as I was running out of breath.
"Yeah, no doubt, he is playing a hoax on you! He wants you dead and you're making his target even clearer." Mason explains. He seems nervous.
"Do you think I'm not aware of that? Ceylon is not going to kill me 'cause I'm important to help you in solving those symbols." I explain.
"She's right; we wouldn't be here without her knowledge about Yin-Yang." Darius is on my side." Should we go back now? Darius adds.
"This was a distraction. We won't go back, you understand? We need to complete our mission." Ethan commands. We went back to our spots. Ethan turns as we did an eye contact.
"Analia, you won't leave the room until you hear my order." He claims.
"I'm not one of your agents, Ethan." I respond. Mason turns when he heard me calling Ethan as...Ethan.
"You are, from now." He says with seriousness. He's right; somehow, I almost destroyed everything. Ethan looks back to Mason, who goes back to his spot. I catch something in wall, something almost like a quote;
She jumped and danced like a ballerina.
"Guys, you need to see this." I say with confusion. Ethan and Mason come closer.
"What does that even mean?" Ethan asks. Darius stops us as he shows us a new discovery.
