Chapter 158 - The Tears of A Mother (1) (2/2)

”Sure. Go. Nita might have just fallen asleep. You should check on her, too. She had nightmare just now.”

Rama nodded at me, gestured at me to follow him upstairs, so I followed him. Before we got to the second floor, I had seen the baby safety gate he told me before. It was large and wide like what he said. When I got to the second floor, I looked around, trying to find any trace of inhuman beings in this room, but I found nothing.

”I'll check on Nita first. Make yourself at home.” Rama said.

I nodded and stood before the safety gate. I inspected the lock and found out that indeed, only a.d.u.l.t could open it. There was no way a baby less than a year could open the lock. From the top of the stairs, I sat down and looked down. I couldn't imagine how a baby could roll down from here to... there!

My eyes widened as I saw a trace of dark mist disappeared in the wall, right at the corner of the stairs. It was so fast, but I could see it. What was it?

As I was still pondering about what I had just seen, I heard Nita screamed from one of the bedrooms. I stood up and walked towards the source of her scream, sinister aura spread quickly, creating a suffocating atmosphere laced with intense fear.

Whatever it was inside the room, it was not an ordinary shadow. It was an evil thing!

”She's here! She's here! She wants to kill me! She wants to kill me!” Nita screamed histerically.

”Nita, baby, calm down. There's no one here. Calm down!” Rama hugged her tight, preventing her from trashing so much and hurt herself in the process. This was what I saw when I got into the room.

”She killed my baby! She killed my son! Now she wants to kill me!” Nita cried but her voice laced with anger and fear. From what I saw, she was close to losing her mind.

”No one is going to kill you. You're just dreaming, baby. It's just a nightmare.” Rama coaxed her.

How I wish I could say the same. As soon as I reached the door, my eyes had been staring at one spot; the corner of the room, in front of the wardrobe.

The thing floating there was a woman, I was sure of that. The sinister aura came from her. Her face didn't have any disgusting and horrendous wounds, instead she looked fine. But, her features made her looked unbelievably frightening. Her eyes were formed almost into a slit, glowing red with intense hatred. Her mouth was riddiculously wide with sinister smile plastered on her face. Her hands, ah no, they were claws, not hands anymore. They looked thin and long with sharp nails on each fingers. She was covered with black mist that I almost thought that she was black as well.

Not trying to be racist, but when someone died with evil heart, his/her soul would turn black, as if he/she was being painted with black soots.

Judging from how thick the black mist around her and how bad the darkness spread in her body, I could assume that this person was beyond help.

What was it that made her so cruel?

It wasn't long until she noticed me staring at her. Turning her head towards me, she sneered with her eyes full with malicious intent.

”Human... you can... see me...” Her hoarse and crooked voice travelled to my ears, but she stayed at her place.

It would be trouble if Rama and Nita heard me talking. I expanded my shield and hid behind the wall as my spirit floated out to take my place. ”Of course I can see you.”

She looked surprised when I came out in my spirit form. But then she let out her creepy chuckled. ”You got some skills in you, not bad.” She sneered. She was capable of speaking fluently, why did she have to speak frighteningly just now?

”What do you want?” I asked, ignoring her comment.

”Why? You want to save this girl?” She asked unhappily as she approached me.

”Did you kill her son?” I asked again, not feeling intimidated even just for a bit even after she tried to overwhelm me with her dark aura.

”YES! Hahahahaha...” Her eyes widened in satisfaction as she answered my question. Then, she laughed like a maniac, as if killing the baby was an achievement for her.

I frowned as I watched her still laughing in front of me, clutching her stomach as if it would still feel hurt after laughing so hard. But, her laugh changed abruptly to a weeping sound. Streaks of tears came streaming down her face, making her looked even more terrifying. I could sense her chaotic emotion from her aura, madness and deep sorrow seemed to combine into one, but why?
