Horror Story
Mount Pulosari Part 1 - #10

I hid behind a mossy rock. I can still see their flashlight swinging from a distance. Their steps are getting closer. I ran away again to get away from them.

“That's it!” shouted one of Mr. Jaro's men.

My right leg is stuck in the tree root. I fell into the bushes. I can no longer run. They're getting closer to me. Mr. Jaro's face is starting to show. I crawled to get away. They laughed at my suffering.

A man approached. He tied my hands and feet. The other man prepared a piece of wood and put it between my wrist and my foot. They both carried my body in an inverted position like a hunted pig. I don't know where I'm going to be taken.

“Ampuni me Mr. Jaro, don't kill me.”

“If I don't subvert you. That fireball that will kill the crowd,” Mr. Jaro pointed to the sky.

“Please forgive me, sir. I promise I will never come to this mountain again. I don't want to die young, sir," the two men who carried me laughed.

“Man can die at any time. In fact, while still in the womb even humans can die. Don't worry, I know you've suffered a lot getting lost in this mountain. I will end your suffering,” Mr. Jaro turned to me with a cold smile.

Plus, “You know two mounds of earth in front of that old hut? It's the bodies of two climbers who once broke the mountain's ban. I'll bury you next to them.”

I was raging at Mr. Jaro's words. I shook my own body. The two men even laughed again.They were harassing my weaker energy.

“Originally you know, I'm a good person. What I'm doing now is saving the other climbers. The kingdom of jinn on this mountain is angry because of you.”

“But my friends are all dead, sir. Is that not enough to make up for our mistake?”

“Not yet. There's still one person alive.”

“Who?”

“The female, but she will not be able to get out of the realm jin.”

“Mira..,” hisisku.

Both my legs and hands felt very sore. In an inverted position like this, for a long time I had difficulty breathing.

“Pak please let go of me.”

“I can't breathe, Sir.”

Mr. Jaro no longer chimed in. The terrain that is taken uphill. The two men who were carrying me staggered. Not long after, I arrived at a very strange place. There are many offerings in that place. The rocks are arranged neatly to form a circle.

My body was placed in the middle of the circle. They took off the wooden sticks. My arms and legs are tied.

Not far from where I was lying, there were two human skulls lying next to the offerings. Is that the skull of two climbers who broke the ban? I don't know, the obvious sight scares me even more. There is no other way to survive. Maybe it was my destiny to die like this.

Mr. Jaro and his two men sat down outside the circle. Their eyes closed. Mr. Jaro recites the mantra in Sundanese. The spell sounded very terrifying, a kind of sacrificial offering for supernatural beings.

When it's over, Mr. Jaro approaches me. He brought a wooden stick. Then he stuck it near my head.

“Do not, Sir! Please forgive me,” my tears come out.

All I remember are my parents at home. They are very old and must have fallen ill when they heard that their son died unnaturally like this.

Jaro sir told his men to tie my neck with a rope. Then, the end of the rope was tied to the wood again.

“Pull his leg!” tell Mr. Jaro.

I am now in a floating position. Both my legs were pulled, my neck tied. They're gonna cut my throat. Mr. Jaro came out of the circle, he took a sickle and prepared to chop off my head.

“Heaven is waiting for you, Nak.”

I wept. From the right direction I suddenly saw Riki's spirit looking at me with a look of nelangsa.

“Riki...”.

“Your friend is dead. You will catch up with him,” said Mr. Jaro.

He held up the sickle and slashed it at my neck....

Seriate..
