Room 14's
Chapter 31

Lyra opened her eyes, she narrowed her eyes that were exposed to the dazzling light of the lamp. His eyeballs moved restlessly, he pulled his hand on the drip, then tried to remember why he ended up here. His head was throbbing dizzy, unable to remember anything. There was no memory in his head.

"You're sober? "

Lyra turned her head, as if she had not noticed that someone was standing on the right side of the bed. Lyra stared fixedly at the face covered in the mask, a man wearing a lab coat looking at her strangely. It wasn't a look of hatred like Lyra had seen her father's sister, nor was it a look of liking. It was too gray to define how the person looked at him now. But certainly in addition to confusing, it also makes all of Lyra's body tremble. What's with those eyes?

"House? "

Lyra nodded, she had indeed felt very thirsty since coming to her senses. He drank greedily the glass of water given by the man.

"She was already conscious," three people entered wearing masks covering their faces.

Lyra looked at them confused. Wh why? She why? Why is he in a white room that is foreign to him? Her net was staring at the ceiling of the room, in the right corner she was like seeing a snake writhing.

"That's it, "Lyra pointed towards the snake telling the people.

"C'mon girl's. It doesn't matter now, "the person who was there made a sound.

"Do it! "

"Ready, sir. "

One of the men pulled out a scalpel. Lyra glared in shock as the knife was pointed at her neck.

"Arrhhhggg!!!! "

Thunderous screams rang out in the room as the knife tore through Lyra's neck. Fresh virgin gushed into the bucket. A syringe stabbed in the back of his neck. At the threshold of his consciousness slowly various memory pieces sprung up in his brain.

Lyra remembers last night she ran away from the dorm, and then someone injected some kind of anesthetic into her neck. He lost consciousness and maybe he brought him here.

Lyra also remembers her old mother in the village, her father who now holds great hopes for her. Also the two sisters were always proud of her, tears coming out from the corner of Lyra's eyes.

"I-mom, dad, liam, alma, I'm sorry. " The last word that only he can say in his heart. His head fell limp almost drenched into a bucket containing almost half his blood.

" you're an amazing person." The hands of the person who acted as the leader rubbed Lyra's hair slowly.

"You don't want to know what this tube is, na? " ask Bian who has grabbed a test tube. He smiled when he managed to get out of the glass cabinet. He held it very carefully.

"No. I already knew the contents, "that Diana who was leaning against the door while staring at her fingers, her hands became an interesting object to notice rather than those cursed tubes.

"Seriously? " Bian looked at the curious liquid, he brought his face closer to the tube to see more clearly.

"Yes, "

Bian opened the tube cover carefully. When the tube fully opened instantly a foul aroma mixed with fishy fill the area around him. His eyes glared in shock to realize that what was in the tube was blood that had a very foul aroma, let alone the dark color added to the horrifying impression that made Bian's knee weak.

"Toy... "

Bian let out his entrails, the tube he was holding dropped to the floor, the liquid soaked the floor. His hand covered his nose, and he walked over to Diana.

"I told you not to open it, " said Diana pulling the door, just as Bian was busy watching Diana's test tube trying to open the door. And it turns out that one of the keys he had was the door to the room.

"You should immediately say it was blood, "Bian protested from behind.

"Where do you think we are now? " Diana paid no heed to Bian's protests. He was more interested in looking around the room they had just entered, they were now in an empty room that was quite spacious. The walls are painted in deep red paint, on the walls are also hung about a dozen candles.

"Stop it. Maybe the second floor. Why not try to open that door, " said Bian

"Yes, it could be" Diana nodded softly, shining a flashlight onto the marble floor she was on. Diana closed her eyes, she heard something,

" you wanna sing? "

"Yes, sure... "

"For him? "

The quiet voice that Diana used to hear the dormitory was again heard, now she heard it a bit louder than usual. What voice had Diana heard all this time coming from here?

Diana stepped quietly against the wall, she stuck her ear there to hear more clearly.

"ARRRGGGG!!!! "

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! "

"HEY... RUN IMMEDIATELY!! "

Diana moved away from the wall, her heart was pounding, the thunderous screams were painful. His hands trembled, he sat on the cold marble floor.

"Na, what's wrong with you? " asked Bian, he who was watching the other side of the room was surprised when Diana suddenly sat on the floor.he approached Diana worriedly, worried,

"You drink first, "Bian took a water bottle from inside Diana's bag.

"Thanks, " said Diana weakly. He lowered his head, without being able to hold back he sobbed softly. His shoulders shook trying to stop the crying. He could not even find Feby until now and continued to hear strange, sickening noises.

"It's okay. You're not alone, "Bian pulled Diana into his arms to calm down. His hand rubbed Diana's back. When she was a child, her mother always did it to calm her down.

" i feel guilty as feby, "babe Diana withdraws.

" we'll definitely find her,"

"What if it doesn't? "

"Hey, "Bian rubbed Diana's hand slowly "can't be pessimistic, "

Diana stared at the hand that Bian was holding, then pulled him back. He always felt betrayed his feelings if he came in close enough contact with other men, his feelings for Erlangga made him unable to establish a relationship with anyone all this time. He had been quite close to Bian since moving to Buana's lab, also quite often tried to think of the man as he thought of Erlangga. But in fact, he can't. He could not fall in love again since he loved Erlangga. But the man he loved already had a wife and could not have.

"Why? "

"Why.. Meanin? " ask Diana confused.

"Yeah... You breathe quite often. What the hell are you thinking? "

"It's nothing. " Diana stood up, and,

"We need to rest,na. It's almost three in the morning" Bian said.

"But, feby.... "

"We should also go back, na. Profs. Adams will be furious if we don't get in tomorrow. And we could be fired, if we get fired we won't be able to come back here to find Feby"

"I don't care. I'll find feby bye, and if I ever get back to the dormitory, I'm fired, too, "diana, she tried to open the door,

"Ma... You are exhausted.. "

"You want to go back, please, Yan. I still want to be here"

Open-ended.

Diana opened the door when Bian stopped her. Diana raised her eyebrows for an explanation.

"You hear that,na? " ask Bian slowly

Diana nodded, she also heard him.he locked the door again and tried to peek through the door hole.

SERIATE....
