2. Cia and Zeno

Cia's eyes widened. She didn't know, she seemed unable to speak with the reality she heard. It's like you've heard that name before. Yes, Zeno. Sounds like a stranger to his ears.

"Where are you going to take me? I'll just follow you, OK?" Cia looked resigned. She found that the male figure in front of him immediately nodded and confirmed what Cia said.

"Follow me! We go inside and find a place to rest first." Cia shook her head with a stiff facial expression.

"Sorry, I can't."

"Why? What are you afraid of me?" Zeno drew an eyebrow with a smile etched in the corners of his lips.

"No, Zeno. I thank you, but I just don't feel sleepy. I can still continue my journey."

"Come on, you need a little sleep. Look at your face, very pale."

"Only once? That means not many times." Cia made a joke that made the other person immediately smile too. They looked at each other until, in the end, Cia had to follow Zeno's invitation.

"Come in, I'm suddenly tired." Cia exhaled roughly, then walked first defending the path that was used to enter the house. Strangely, around the houses here it looks filled with shrubs.

"The house is bush, so there is a scary impression. Do you feel the same way?" Cia is still running without stopping. She didn't even look back, and seemed sure that Zeno was still behind him, following Cia's footsteps.

"Please go in first. I'm scared. How about this?" Cia was already worried. She held her breath and listened to the sounds that were around her.

"Zeno?"

When she felt that there were no more answers, Cia was starting to feel uneasy. She turned around and looked behind him with an expression full of glare. "Zeno? Where are you?" Cia asked with a wrinkled forehead.

Cia walked slowly. She was confused about going backwards or going forward and looking for gaps to be able to widen her steps further. From the opposite direction, it was clear that Cia had indeed lost the figure of Zeno that he had just met earlier.

"That's weird. Just wanted to take a break, uh, already left. Surprise!" she said, grumbling, a little annoyed.

One by one, Cia looked more agile. She tracked his movements and entered the area of the house through the main door. Actually, there is a feeling of fear in Cia's mind, because the woman feels that she is indeed lost in a place that causes a lot of questions inside.

"I'm afraid. But, never mind!" her mind, which continued to tread, left the bad thought.

Cia's current hope is to focus on herself and be able to rise from what is called a sinking feeling of fear. Cia doesn't care about that feeling. However, what he thought about was Zeno, who suddenly disappeared from sight.

Cia arrived at the house. Her gaze immediately met with darkness that engulfed his vision. In a situation like this, Cia was immediately surprised and felt unusual.

"Why is it pitch black? I'm dizzy," she said, and immediately became lethargic.

A few inches of her movement, Cia arrived in a different room again. She took a deep breath and felt that this time it was more dim in appearance. "There is a bit of light that can make me live. It's really weak if there isn't a speck of light that I receive."

Cia stroked her chest. She found a rattan chair that stretched near the corner of the living room. Quickly, Cia walked over and intended to seat herself there.

"Get some rest, although I'm also wary here. The atmosphere is different, I'm scared!" she said again, which maybe only his own ears could hear. Not without reason, because at this time Cia caught the sound of someone's footsteps. "In danger!" continued Cia again, several times repeating the words silently.

Cia avoided where she was sitting. She looked around in all directions with a very stiff facial expression. There was no hope for Cia to find out who had approached her.

"Don't bother me! I just want to rest, just for a moment."

Cia heard a voice that scared her. It sounded like someone was screaming, but there were verses that his laughter widened and made him astonished. With that, Cia's fear also suddenly disappeared.

"Ah, who do you think? I can't wait to reveal my identity or identity by coercion."

A few seconds passed, finally there was a loud scream. This made Cia hold her chest and look in the opposite direction. That was the figure of Zeno, the helper for her earlier.

"Why are you still here? Haven't you left already?" asked Cia, who was quite surprised.

"How could I leave you? I, right, want to help you meet other friends."

Cia folded her lips down with a long exhale. She felt grateful, but suddenly, on the one hand, there was a feeling of fear in Zeno's figure.
