The Mystery Red Umbrella
Night Full of Trouble

Anna returns home from the hospital, upset by Nick's father's words but unwilling to defend herself because she knows what she's doing will go to waste. He would rather leave, and there were more important things he had to do.

Barrow didn't say much when he drove her home. The box they took was already in Anna's house. Anna planned to open the box after she finished her bath but she felt very strange after the box was in her house.

He felt a very evil energy spreading out from the box. His house lights even turned off without cause, some sounds in the kitchen were heard.

As she bathed, Anna felt that someone was watching. Really sucks. In this case, he would rather be peeked at by a handsome man than be peeped at by a ghost.

Several times he saw a black shadow flashed by, he really did not like the gripping mannerism. Anna took a bath in a hurry, whether what she was experiencing right now had anything to do with the mysterious box or not or it was the spirit who was eyeing her that must have been that night, Anna's in trouble.

Clothes already worn, Anna came out of the room while drying her wet hair. The light of the room seemed to flicker as Anna passed through the room, what happened? Because he thought it was nothing serious so Anna ignored him.

Now he was standing in front of the box placed on the table. Anna stepped around while looking at the box meticulously. There is no keyhole, the door to open the box does not even know in which direction because of the square shape. Padlock was not there even something resembling a handle to open the box was not there. Anna even turned back the box which turned out to be well noticed to have very strange carvings on each side.

"Ck, what's this box?" grumbled Anna.

Who created that strange box that didn't have that door? Strangely enough, he was convinced that the owner of the box did not want the contents of the box opened or seen by anyone.

Not wanting to waste any time, Anna went to the warehouse. An iron hammer was already in hand, he could not believe the box could not be opened with the hammer.

Anna was already standing on the side of the box, one foot on the table. The hammer has also lifted.

"I can't believe this box can't open!" he said and after that, the hammer was hit hard on top of the box. The sound of the impact of the hammer and the box made of solid material rang out, Anna's two hands even shook from the impact.

Anna hit again and again until her hand hurt but the box was not damaged in the slightest. Anna fell down on the sofa, she looked breathless. The hammer was placed by her side, Anna looked at the box while grumbling.

"Damn, what a sturdy box!" said Anna.

Maybe the box can be opened if it uses a hacksaw, he will buy it tomorrow. Anna approached the box and looked back. Somehow he felt the symbols in the box had a certain meaning.

Anna was so serious about seeing it, it was really a very strange box. He'd better call Barrow to discuss the box with him. Anna was about to go to the room to pick up her phone but her steps were stopped by the sound of the door being knocked from out there.

"Anna, are you inside?" the voice of a stranger.

"Nick?" Anna rushes, why did Nick come to her house?

"Nick, what are you coming for?" anna asked after opening the door.

"I'm sorry if I interfered, I just wanted to apologize to you for my father's rude remarks" Nick said.

"It's okay, I don't mind it. Come on in" Anna opened the door wide and invited Nick in.

"Thank you, Anna. I'm really not feeling good about you."

"Here you go, how is Lucia? Is he conscious?" the door closed, Anna stepped in while Nick circulated the view looking at Anna's house.

"Sit down, I'll make you a drink" Anna stepped into the kitchen to make a drink.

Nick followed in his footsteps, Anna was surprised when Nick was already standing behind.

"I'm really sorry for my father's rude words to you. He shouldn't have accused you so cruelly when he didn't know anything. Forgive my father, Anna. I hope you still want to visit Lucia and see how things are going" Nick said.

"You're so good, Anna," Nick stepped up and stood before Anna.

Anna looked at the handsome young man, as well as Nick. It felt a little strange in such a stare because he was not used to it.

"Hm, I have to make a drink" said Anna.

"Do you live alone?" ask Nick how stale.

"Yeah, I do live alone."

"Both your parents?"

"My mom lives with auntie, they're in another town," the glass and the coffee grounds are taken, Anna is not suspicious at all.

"Oh, what about your best friend, does he live near here?"

"Barrow? He doesn't live anywhere near here."

Nick no longer asked, Anna invited him to the guest room. Two glasses of drink were already in hand, Nick's arrival completely diverted himself from the strange box.

"I'm sorry if there's nothing" Anna said.

"It's okay, Anna. I'm sorry I interrupted your night but I heard a loud noise from your house, what are you doing?"

"It's not important, I'm just trying to open a box" Anna looked at Nick from top to bottom. Would the box open if Nick helped him? The manpower is different, maybe the box he can open without the need for help from Barrow.

"Box? What box are you going to open??"

"Treasure box," Anna carried Nick towards the box, an evil and dense aura so felt in the box.

Even though the strangeness that happened was no longer there, but the box really stored such evil energy. Nick stood before the box, looking at him with a strange look.

"What's this box, Anna? Why is it so weird?"

"I don't know either, I'm trying to open it but I can't" Anna sees the mysterious box coming back. There was no damage at all over the box when he had hit his hammer several times.

"Oh, so you want to open it?" Nick looks strange but Anna is not aware as well because she is still focused on the mysterious box.

"I feel like there's evidence in this box. Maybe after I opened it, I got a clue so I could save Lucia, "Anna moved and turned around but suddenly Nick came to her so quickly.

Yeebb!!! Anna felt something penetrate into her stomach.

"Nick, what is it?" unfinished Anna spoke, Nick's body floated backwards and a terrible laugh rang out. The figure of a dashing and handsome young man, was no longer there because it had been replaced with a terrible figure.

"You?" Anna fell to her knees while holding her stomach where a sharp object stuck there.

"Give me the box and don't interfere in my affairs!" a loud scream was heard followed by flying objects.

Everything in the house flew and was thrown as well as Anna's body being thrown. Anna's body hit the wall hard and unfortunately, the knife that has not been lifted actually stuck deeper.
