Angker Village
Cornered

"Dad?" I said slowly, seeing my father right behind me.

"You, get out of the house these nights. What's up?" Ask dad.

"I'm following someone suspicious. He was there, "pointing me towards the tree, where I saw someone prostrating.

"Dad, that guy was still there. How can you, get lost?" I asked, who didn't see anyone there. I looked there yesterday, trying to find him. But, not finding it. Very disconcerting.

"Luis, we're going home now. It's midnight, if you go out alone and something happens, how?" Said my father stepping away.

I had to follow my father, catch up with him. Without me noticing, someone was filming myself with my father.

I went home and slept in my room. I began to sleep in my sleep, but the Princess came in my dreams. Her face was very bright and she smiled sweetly at me. Unlike when he became a ghost, his creepy face disappeared.

"Thank you, Luis. I can calm down. My boyfriend explained and apologized to my mother. I can go quietly." The princess said, growing distant.

Kreeks...Kreeks...

I woke up when I heard something falling next to my house. It was still midnight, I didn't want to think about it and closed my eyes again.

But the sound of footsteps walking beside my house made me look up at my head. There's no way my dad's out at night like this. I wanted to go, but I was afraid to go out alone. If he's not human, what?

"Quiet, Luis. Just positive thinking, it could be that the ghost at this hour is asleep. So, the one who walks is a human. Can I see it?" I said I woke up from my sleep. I walked up to my bedroom window, trying to peek. There's nobody I see there.

Tak...Tak...Tak...

The sound of footsteps leading to the back of the house. I thought for a while before walking into the kitchen. There's an exit in the kitchen, I intend to see it from there. But when I was in the kitchen, my hair bristled. A sign of an unknown figure being there.

I took a few steps back, but the sound of footsteps behind me pushed me back forward. I was wondering who was there.

I reached the door alley, there were many things falling behind the house. I opened the door, and took a few steps back. My heart seemed to want to be dislodged, kuntilanak who was floating in front of the door. While someone wearing a mask is right behind him, carrying a prop.

What is he doing? Why do I have to be behind my house? Is my family the next victim?

My mind is starting to get messed up. I screamed, making my father run into the kitchen. The person behind the house, immediately ran away to hear my father's screams. I glanced at the eyes of the man.

"What's up, Luis?" Shouted my father, who ran up to me.

My feet were shaking, my lips were unable to speak anymore. I was still shocked to see her, who was together with Kuntilanak. Although how many times, I met kuntilanak, but my fear is still stored.

"Luis, what's wrong?" Ask my dad who came.

"Sister Luis, what are you looking at?" Idar is coming.

I pointed outwards, my father and my sister immediately looked in the direction I pointed. But they both saw nothing. Kuntilanak along with his partner, had escaped first.

"Luis, don't joke. You're just making me worry." My father said angrily.

"Reply go back to your room and sleep well. It's not just adding to the problem" said my father who gave the order. My father shut the door hard, then went back to his room.

"Sister Luis, look what? Just talk to me, I'll definitely hear it, "persuade Idar.

I looked at my sister, with her body still trembling. Not that I don't want to talk to her, but my mouth doesn't seem to open.

Next morning....

I woke up early, not daring to leave the room. Yesterday's incident, made it difficult to sleep and still think. The person who was with Kuntilanak, made me curious.

Suddenly the door of my house was broken from the outside and there was a lot of screaming. I walked to the door, it was still six in the morning that many people had come.

I, who had just slept, did not understand their words.

"What is this, people? Like to bother people?" Ask my father who came.

"Your son, Luis. Must be removed from this village,"

"Why? What's wrong with you guys?" Asked my father, with a puzzled and confused face.

"She's been doing the pottery so that our village is haunted."

I, who heard the accusations, did not accept them.

"I don't do the prank. You know where I'm from, if I do it?" Shouted in a loud voice.

"We cannot accuse without evidence. Look, your picture is near a tree. Then, a lot of food is stored on a large tree along with candles. Obviously, last night you did it" shouted the resident who threw a photo at me.

"I think it's just a misunderstanding. Luis followed someone who was performing a prank on a big tree. Not him" defended my father.

"Tamrin, we know you're defending your son. But, if he's wrong, you don't have to defend him." All the citizens are getting hotter.

I clenched my hand, feeling vengeful for the man who did it to me. My good name, it's been broken just because of their slander.

"Who has provoked you? Let me talk to him. It's easy to have his mouth slandered me," I said firmly. All the people looked at each other, astonished.

"Where do you know if it was Luis?" Ask my father to Mr. Mus.

"Sorry Mr. Tamrin, I'm surprised too. All of a sudden, everyone says Luis did it." Said Mr. Mus who scratched his head, who did not itch.

"You don't know, who told you?" Ask my father in surprise.

"Who said it first?" Whisper them all. They were all just shaking their heads, not knowing.

"Citizens, now we're breaking up. You guys are demo, but it's unclear. Embarrass yourself, if you're right to slander

Luis, it's a big sin for you." Obviously mr. Mus.

"Pak Mus is also following," I said.

"I just want to check the truth. Not meant to slander." Mr. Mus said with a shy smile.

After all the residents dispersed, Ana and Fani came to my house. They were shocked when they saw many people gathered in my house.

"Luis, what do you want to do? Many people from here gathered," said Fani.

"No, they're telling me to get out of this village." My answer.

Fani and Ana stared at each other, not believing what I was saying.

"Seriously, Luis? So it's true that you're doing the archery?" Ask Ana.

"No, not me. I don't know why, the culprit wants me to look guilty." I said defend myself.

"To be honest, I'm a little suspicious of someone," said Ana who looked down.

I who heard it was shocked, Ana knew something about the culprit. Why did he not dare to say it?

"Who?" I was with Fani.
