Chapter 5
“You know us now so you can leave,” Miley arrogantly said to Nikki but the young lady didn’t matter at her how rude the girl at her.
“Thank you,” she said before she leaves the three girls and he toured the entire university. Nicki smiled reading the form, and there she learned that Lassie Clique was the name of the club and that only girls could join. It also stated that the novice had a task to be given by the leaders before finally joining the group. She feels that she can do whatever she can to get in.
“Hello! Do you want to join in our group?”
Nikki looked at the girl who has the same age with her and looking at her while standing in front of her. The young lady has a short hair above the shoulder length and wearing black beret.
“Me?” She asked while pointing at her. The girl nodded at her with a big smile while saying ‘yes’ and she looked at the booth where she stopped. It seems like mystical and eccentric design on the booth. “Eloquent Club?” She read it on what was written on the upper part of the booth.
“Yes, Eloquent Club, were are the group of students who are believing the arts of witch craft and magic in this world,” the young lady explained, “my name is Honey, I’m one of the old member of this club and we have many members there.”
Nikki scratched her head and thinking twice, “it is, how many?”
Honey stopped and counted at her finger, “we have five members and you counted sixth if you join us.”
“Is that many to you?” She didn’t want to be sounded sarcastic but she couldn’t hide it.
“Yes it is, last year we have three and five was many to us just to be a solid group.”
“Okay then,” she choose to convinced.
“Are you going to join us?” Honey asked again, “We can teach you the right reading at the palm, reading tarot and some magic.”
“Tarot cards and reading palm of a person for reading fortune are not true. If your group is really good at it, only in the eyes is the gateway to read fortune itself,” Nikki explained at Honey on how Mrs. Douglas said at her about the truth fortune telling.
“Don’t you want to believe I won’t force you, we have many proved and unexplained things happened in this university, especially to the room, the old room from history department.” Honey seems serious and it like a big slap on her face about on her club she belong.
“Yes I get it but I’m not interested to join, I’m not interested anything happened in the past here in this campus. I just want is to finish my study, thank you.”
Honey smiled again in her, “I should go now and I won’t force you again.”
She didn't say goodbye yet but she seemed to be curious as to what Honey had said in her and she still wondering, ‘the old room at history department,’ it keep repeating that thoughts on her mind.
“What else is there?” She asked herself because of curiosity. She asked some of the student in the university where the history department was. The university is so large and huge that in the history department was seems like few students was going there. She walked down the aisle of the department where she went and there was no one but her. She could not help but feel that she was doing something strange and that she was thinking that scaring herself.
She walked for a moment until she stopped at the strange door made of solid wood, as if it made from a large man to enter there, opening the door with two doors and she feel stunned at the two-seat door block. Written there is a manila paper 'RESTRICTED' written in red.
She approached the door a little and was startled when someone spoke behind her. She also held onto the chest as if she needed to be careful not to fall in shock. She was also a little surprised to see the old woman in Filipiniana's clothes.
The old woman looks old and has white hair tied in a circle. “What are you doing here?” Her voice was shaking because she was old.
“Are you real?” She asked the old woman wearing old clothes.
The old woman looked at her with disbelief, “are you new here?”
“Yes.”
“Right, you know what young lady this room is restricted to everyone even to you and don’t enter to this room,” she pointed at the door of the room. “This room was sacred and no one can’t enter here.”
“Okay fine, I’m sorry, but what is in there?”
The old woman coughed before she answered Nikki, “I don’t know young lady. Even one of us here at the campus doesn’t know what is in there.”
“So how did you know that this room was restricted?”
“When I was young when I entered here at the university as a newly teacher when I knew about this room. They cleaned this room to the janitress but when she leaves the room and she didn’t speak anymore. That janitress died at the mental hospital.”
Nikki felt scared because of the old woman stories and she move backward just to stay away to that room and for nothing to harm her. “No one enter there?”
The old woman will speak but she didn’t finish her sentence, “get out to this place and I’m busy.”
“Okay.”
“Leave before I throw you inside,” then the old man turned away. Nicki glanced at the room briefly, still feeling the urge to enter it even though she knew there was no good story about the room. She just left and returned to her own room at the dormitory.
