Room 14's
Chapter 27

"Oh, God!! " Diana covered her mouth with both hands, while Bian was speechless. She was as shocked as Diana.

In the middle of the courtyard under the breadfruit tree lay a woman wearing a dark red dress in black. His face was not clearly visible from where they were standing now.

"We should check it out, " Diana said in a trembling voice. It could have been Feby, in Diana's heart repeatedly praying that was lying there instead of Feby. Whoever was lying under that tree must have lost his life.

"Let me break the window glass, "bian said checking the window panes, the causeway so that they could get to the courtyard. He clucked irritably when he found out there was another wire outside the glass. That means they can't get through the window to get to the yard.

Diana takes Bian to another room. He opened the door and now that they were in the room that seemed to be the living room, Diana stared for a moment at the stairs leading to the second floor. He also highlighted four doors on the first floor, Diana yesterday just checked the door near the stairs. They walked through the room, looking for where the main door was.

"It looks like it's the door to get out, na. You got the key? " tanya Bian stood three steps away from a large door in deep red.

Diana tried the key that had the largest size. And, yes, it turns out that it was the key to the door. When the door opened they immediately went out and walked towards the backyard of the mansion.

Bian crouched down in front of the body lying under the breadfruit tree, while Diana stared at the towering mansion. When viewed from the outside as it is now the mansion looks a bit spooky especially without the lights that illuminate. The three-storey mansion made her hair stand up.

"Na. Look here," call Bian

Diana approached Bian, he squatted down to see more clearly the woman's face.

Diana highlighted completely all over the woman's body. She was wearing a dark red dress in black. Her face was beautiful yet pale, her black hair was allowed to break free. His hands were folded over his stomach.

"you know him? " ask Diana. Bian stared fixedly at that face, his eyes blotting when he recognized that face.

"lyras. Her name is Lyra, she's Dr. Grace's partner" explained Bian, her face shrinking doubtfully "but, she's stopped her last week, na, "

Diana put her finger on the woman's nose, no longer breathing. Diana checked her pulse and lastly her heart that was not beating.

"She's dead" said Diana with a sigh, she looked around, ever since she started examining the woman Diana felt like someone was watching her. Diana turned her body, she stared at the third floor. From a window a pair of sharp eyes stared at her, making Diana freeze. It was the coldest eye Diana had ever seen in her entire life.

"Na, what's wrong with you? "

"aaa... " Diana jumped in shock when Bian touched her shoulder. He looked back at the woman's corpse. His chest rose and fell, he scooped up as much oxygen as possible, only to realize that he was holding his breath from now on.

"Surprisingly.why is lyra here? " Bewildered Bian.

"Someone killed him" said Diana pointing towards Lyra's neck, which had faint traces of stitches.

"who killed him?"

Diana shook her head "we have to find Feby first, yan"

"How is this corpse? "

Diana bit her lower lip not knowing what to do. He looked at Lyra's pale face and said "we'll just put it in the room. If Feby meets, we'll bury him. "

Bian nodded in agreement, he stretched out both his hands to lift Lyra's body. It was then that the pale white hand moved swiftly clutching his right hand. His heart was almost dislodged, he glanced at Lyra's face, the eyes were still closed.

"Come, Bian. Why just shut up? " Diana turned to Bian who was not moving at all.

"The body is alive again, na. His hand clutched mine" Bian said in a trembling voice. He saw that pale hand was holding tightly to his wrist.

"Don't touch!!"

The wind was blowing with the sound of a fine whisper in Diana's ear. The girl stared again at the third floor, the eyes that had been watching her were no longer there.

"let go, Bian. we look for Feby first, " said Diana worried.This place is very strange. despite being outside Diana still feel tight and tight.

Bian tried to release the grip on his hand. But like being given glue his hands can not be released.

Diana approached, she held tightly to Bian's waist and pulled him back. The hand was holding tighter and tighter, as if it wanted to break Bian's hand. As hard as he pulled Bian still the grip was not loose.

Bian tried his hardest to let go of that grip. However, the hand pulled Bian closer and pushed him against the mansion wall. Diana who was still holding Bian first hit the wall. His bones felt like they were about to break, his cheeks were scratched, fresh blood came out from his wounds deep enough.

"You okay? " asked Bian grimacing, he stood up somewhat staggering.

Diana reached out to her flung flashlight, fortunately it was still able to light up even though the glass was broken.

"Your cheeks are bleeding, na, "

"It's okay. We have to find Feby now, don't mind the body" Diana said as she stood up. They glanced towards the corpse, as if nothing had happened, the corpse was the same as before. Sleep peacefully under the breadfruit tree.

"I didn't expect our dorm to be connected to this weird place. Who had the idea of building a mansion in the middle of the forest? " monologist Bian walked behind Diana while watching around. Bian is usually a realistic person, experiencing new mystical events for the first time makes his guts a bit shrunken, but of course he has to pretend to be strong and brave in front of Diana.

"Of course." Diana shrugged her shoulders not knowing. They both went back inside without locking the door.

"Why isn't it locked, na? " ask Bian.

Diana smiled faintly "I even felt that outside was safer than inside.. "

"But the body... "

"It's just a corpse, Bi." said Diana, she also saw for herself as the pale hand held tightly to Bian, saying it calmed her anxious heart. He must be strong in order to find Feby.

"Wait a minute, na, "Bian took out the plaster he always carried in his pocket, opened the plaster and then taped it to Diana's injured cheek "this must have hurt.. "

"Thanks" said Diana. Then start checking one by one the doors on the first floor. The door near the stairs had Diana checked before.

The second door is the ballroom. There is a circular table with fourteen chairs surrounding the table. While on the wall hung thirteen mirrors along with candles on his right left.

"Febys! " call Diana. His voice echoed in the ballroom.

"Feb!!!! "

Bian checked around the table. He reached out his hand to take a picture that was chuckled on the table.

"You found something? " ask Diana approaching.

"It!"Bian gave the photo.

Diana looked closely at the person in the photo. From his stature the man was a man. He was wearing a black robe, the hood of the robe almost covered his entire face.

The candles lined up on the wall instantly lit up. The fire sometimes wiggles.

Taps....

Taps...

Taps....

The sound of footsteps approached from outside the door. Diana stared intensely at the door that opened slowly. Then a pair of feet wrapped in black boots appeared behind the door.

SERIATE....
