Chapter 442 - THIRTEEN YEARS OLD (6)

"What happened? Is something wrong?" Alyssa frowned upon seeing how upset Hope was.

Everything was wrong! 

Hope wanted to scream that words to Alyssa, yet before that could slip passed her lips, the situation proved that she was right. 

At first, a piercing and shrill sound could be heard in the distance followed by a wave of question 'what happened?' among the crowd. 

Hope and Alyssa also followed the source of it until they watched one of the Sebastian's girl friend, had laid on the ground, having seizure and then she didn't move at all.

"Sh*t! what happened to her?!" almost all the boy sobered up from the alcohol effect, once they witnessed another girl was having the same seizures before she dropped to the ground and stayed still. 

"Check on them! What happened to them!" the only girl who was left from her group was too afraid to approach her friends, her body was shaking uncontrollably beside a blonde guy. 

"Did they overdose?" one of the nearest guy crouched down and inspected his girl friend, concern in his eyes.

"No way! They didn't use anything, we are just drinking." The last girl cried out, there was no way her friend had taken something without her knowing it. They were together all the time. 

"Oh, Sh*t! D*mn!" the guy cursed out loud as he crawled backward, trying to stay away from the two girls. 

"What? What happened?" automatically, the crowd that circled the two bodies on the ground, taking three steps away too, scared because of the guy's reaction. 

The guy was helped to stand up and with shaking finger, he pointed at the two girls while speaking in a hoarse voice. "The girls… they are dead!" he exclaimed. 

An uproar erupted from the crowd as they tried to be as far away as they could from the two bodies, yet near enough to shot an anxious look to the girls' body. 

"Hope." Alyssa whipped her head toward Hope beside her, fear in those eyes. "Hope, you know something about this?" it was weird enough for Hope to react that way, but when Alyssa saw what was happening, probably Hope knew something about this.

"No. I don't." Hope's eyes locked on the dead bodies, it felt like she didn't have the strange to look away from it. "Are they really dead?" she asked with shaking voice. 

Hope had been warned to not go out alone after the dark and not to take off her necklace, yet she violated those rules.

However, how she could have known the consequences would be like this!

Hope shook her head vigorously. Maybe… maybe this was only coincidence? This couldn't be happening just because she broke the rules, right?

It was too far- fetched to think that way.

"Hope, I am afraid." Alyssa whimpered beside her and grabbed Hope's hand tightly. 

To say Hope was afraid too, it was understatement, because she could see more than what Alyssa or those people there could see it.

Hope darted her attention toward Aidan, yet he had gone, the spot where he was standing minutes ago had empty and her necklace had been destroyed. 

"Let's get Sebastian, he must know what to do." Alyssa let out shaky breath and grabbed Hope's wrist, tugging her along with her to enter the house through the same door where Sebastian had disappeared to check on the electricity power with some servants. 

"Where is Rena? We have to get her too." Hope tried to slow down Alyssa, but she was too afraid to stay in the back yard. 

"It's alright, Rena went inside the house with Gary not long before that happened." Alyssa grumbled, trying to find her way in this dark house. It was only the ray of the moonlight from the huge window that lining at their left side in the corridor that illuminated that place. "I am sure she is fine."

Hope prayed that was true. She didn't want anything bad happened to people that she knew. 

The further they went inside the house, the darker it became. "Alyssa, do you know where we will go? You know this place?" 

Alyssa stopped in the room that looked like a gym, frustration was written all over her face and this didn't settle well with Hope. "I don't know Hope, this is the first time I am being here too." she groaned. 

"So, why did you tug me here?" Hope let out a frustration groan of herself by Alyssa recklessness. 

"I remembered I came from that door and turned this way to reach the front door." Alyssa defended herself. 

Hope let out a frustrated groan when they had to retrace back to the corridor where they came before. 

However, when they were about to turn around, someone walked straight toward them and bumped Alyssa, because she walked ahead of Hope while dragging her. 

"Ouch!" Alyssa's hand immediately let go of Hope's wrist and flew to her face, her nose was a little bit hurt because of the sturdy body that she bumped onto. "What the heck!" she cursed. 

"Oh, I am sorry!" 

Hope froze in an instant when she heard that voice and the person that they encountered. Out of instinct she pulled Alyssa away from him. 

"What?" Alyssa rubbed her nose and looked at Hope questioningly. "What are you afraid of? He is Aidan." She grumbled, why Hope acted very strange in this past hour?

Hope ignored Alyssa complained, but her hand gripped her tightly, didn't let Alyssa to walk over toward Aidan. 

Frustrated, Alyssa let Hope to hold her as she asked Aidan. "Where is Sebastian? Have you seen him?"

Aidan shrugged. "I see him there." He pointed toward the other corridor, "he was looking for you."

Alyssa let out audible sigh and smiled with relief. "Let's go there." she was about to walk toward the direction that Aidan told her, but Hope didn't budge and held her still. 

"Hope! What is it now!?" Hope action started to make her irritated. 

But, Hope just locked her eyes on Aidan and spoke slowly. "You have golden eyes color."
