Every day I feel something very disturbing. Not only that, I also felt that maybe this really came from that thing. After I thought about it again, it turned out that my mind always went that way and I didn't know why my gut feeling said that too. That's when I started looking for it myself and apparently I couldn't find anything. Apart from that, I also felt a little disappointed about this and it turned out that all this time I had caused this strangeness myself. When I was starting to get frustrated about this, Arthur suddenly told me something that made me curious. The person said that this object most likely belonged to a group of people who had been at this school. Arthur thought that it was most likely true. After that, I also started to find out for myself and not long after I started to find a clue. Someone wrote on one of the website pages and then I read it to the end which turned out to be a letter of application which contained something quite ambiguous. I also thought maybe this wasn't the clue I was looking for. A few hours later I looked again on several internet pages and it turned out there were no results. This time I felt frustrated again and it seemed like all this was really going too far. So far, I've never felt this desperate and after that I laid myself on the bed. It's already evening and now I'm still in the same place. It felt like my head was about to explode. As soon as I got home from school I went straight back home and then found out what was making me almost crazy. Even after returning from summer, I felt prolonged discomfort. At that moment I really wanted to go and calm down. Unfortunately, that never happened and even though I was in a peaceful situation, I still remembered the problem that happened to me and it made me even more confused. Not long after, Arthur called me. I immediately picked up the call.
"Hello?"
"How is today? Have you found any clues?"
"No. I guess it's a waste of time to find out. Looks like it's time for me to get rid of this bad luck. I should throw that thing away and forget everything. Maybe that's the only way I can do it.”
"Finally you are aware. But, are you sure you want to do that? Didn't you previously reject my suggestion to throw that thing away? and now you've changed your mind. What happened?"
"Just so you know, this is not an easy decision. It's just that I dare to do it. I think I'm brave."
"Hah? What are you doing? now you're faltering again. So what do you really want?"
Even though it sounds impossible, I was really a little shocked by what Arthur said just now. It was as if his words went straight to my heart. However, my confused mind even wavers at times like this. I feel so bad. Not only that, I also feel that this is really annoying and I really hate the terrible situation it is in now. After I took a deep breath and thought back for a moment about my previous words, I started to calm down for a moment. This time I made a vow to myself and soon I started to discover the one important thing I was supposed to do. Maybe this is one way to let myself go.
"How? Have you changed your mind again?” Arthur asked over the phone. After this I still continued to talk to this person.
"Still not yet."
“Hah, you really took a long time, didn't you? what actually happened to you? Is it terror or something? How about you check with a fortune teller?”
“Why would I come to such a superstitious place? It was clear that this thing didn't have that kind of energy. It's just that, what always confuses my mind is who the person who owns this thing is and where is that person?”
"What? just because of that?"
'Actually, I don't want to tell you the truth,' I thought.
"Yes."
Maybe what I said seemed like a lie. It's just that I don't want to involve other people any further regarding my own problems. Since that day I have never trusted anyone, including people even close to me. Even though the person wasn't someone who was considered close at all, his words seemed like he wanted to know a lot of things. Slowly I always find myself in a confusing situation. At this time I started to feel annoyed and then I tried to entertain myself by doing other activities. Meanwhile, now Arthur, who was seen with his friend, immediately got up from his seat and then left.
“You want to go? Hey Arthur!”
"Yes. I have business to attend to."
The next day. I went into class as usual and this time I just ignored the people in this room. It felt like it wasn't just me and not long after that I started to remember things that had happened to me. After school I walked and after that I stopped at a shop which was none other than an antique shop. I slowly entered this shop and then asked something to the person guarding this shop. At that moment, this person was immediately surprised and then I became even more curious about his explanation.
“How did you find this thing?”
"Ah, I think someone left it on purpose in the library under the books and that's when I happened to find it."
“Hah, I see. So far I've never seen anything like this for sale in any store. It's just that you shouldn't keep this thing.”
"Why?"
"Don't you know that yourself? That's why you came here to confirm something, right?"
"What? How can you know the purpose of my coming here? Impossible. Who are you really?”
“Well, how do I explain everything, huh? I think you're too underage."
“Does this have anything to do with a group of criminals?”
“Not criminals anymore but a group of magicians. Oh, damn. I shouldn't have told you.”
"What?"
That's when I was immediately shocked and then still couldn't believe what the shop owner had just said. I really didn't think that this thing belonged to a group of people who were carrying out magic rituals. At the same time, I really wanted to throw that thing away and then I saw the lake around this area which is usually a tourist attraction for people who live in this city. I still think about it until now and I feel shaky again. When I was about to throw this object, not long after that my hand was stopped by the hand of a stranger who then looked at me with a friendly smile.
“We should talk,” this person said to me.
