Few days passed, it's finally the day of Kem Bulan Madu. Lily and Mia were in Lily's room to discuss more about the upcoming camp.

Mia: This is it, our biggest day.

Lily: Or maybe our biggest night.

Mia: I mean, do they really have to set up at night time when they have day time?

Lily: It's their choice anyway, we can't complain anything about.

Mia was fidgeting with her fingers when she found out which forest were the students was going to head to.

Mia: Ummm....Lily, are you perhaps know anything about The Forest Of Angel?

Lily: No idea, why?

Mia: You see Lily....there is something you should know about that place, it's........haunted.......

Lily was eating a bunch of snacks when Mia was talking, as she heard the word haunted, she started to choke hardly.

Mia: Hey, are you alright?

Mia quickly gave her a bottle of water, Lily drank it slowly and breathed for a while, before turning back to her.

Lily: Haunted? What are you talking about?

Mia: Well...........no one really knew about the secret, even the school itself.

Lily: What?! How can you let unknown about the secret to the school?!

Mia: It's for everyone's good, that place was not a joke to begin with.

Lily: Mia......do you know anything about that forest?

Mia gulped a little bit and closed her eyes, she was even afraid to think about that forest in her mind. She put everything herself onto her and started to tell everything she knew about the forest.

Mia: Well......locals said that the forest was owned by a young woman named Angel, who lived there for the entire life. She was living great, but one day she eventually kidnapped by a group of men who came there to hunt, they took her away from her house........raped her cruely, hit her with a rod, burned her dead body with oil, hanged it at a thick tree and left from that area.......

Mia was trying hard to not get terrified more as she had to go to that forest with Lily, she noticed her tension and patted her back to calm her down.

Lily: It's ok Mia, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to.

Mia: No Lily, I really have to tell you this.......And after Angel's death, her spirit immediately set a trap in the forest for the men who killed her instantly, she hunted them with revenge and rage, and then finally, she killed them in a horrible way, by cutting of their private parts, disposing their bodies into pieces, tearing their organs away from it, and eventually destroyed the whole body without letting even a single part of it.

Lily was getting the chills of the horrible secret in that forest, no wonder Mia would get petrified when she was thinking about it.

Mia: After that, her spirit didn't leave that forest, like she wouldn't when she was alive. Some visitors believed that Angel was wearing a white gown with her straight long black hair when witnessing her figure. They even said her body was found being rotten in that thick tree, but it was too horrible to even get close to it. That's why the forest is named as The Forest Of Angel.

Lily: Ewww.......what a horrible way to die, that poor Angel really didn't deserve this.

Mia: I know Lily, it makes me sad a bit when I think about it. But, here's the thing, some people believed that the spirit of Angel is still wandering around that forest, they even believed that some young boys or men who went to visit that forest were never be found after turning back.

Lily: What?!!! Are you serious?!!!

Mia: I'm not joking a bit about this Lily, it's 100% true after all.

Lily: Oh great, now we are letting them to face the danger to themselves.

Lily stood up from her bed, tapping the floor nervously after hearing the whole story of that forest.

Mia: Lily, I know it's a bit risk, but we have to keep an eye on that camp.

Lily: Really Mia? How can the school not be known about this huge secret? I mean, this could lead to the boys's lifes in danger!!

Mia: I know Lily, but I think they are just ignoring it for some reasons.

Lily: Some reasons you think?

Mia: Whatever, but what's the matter most is to look after those boys.

Lily: For a minute, I feel like I'm a babysitter for teenage boys.

Mia: I would be disgusted if I had to do that, but we have no choice.

Lily looked at the time in her watch, it's about time for the boys to leave for the camp.

Lily: Mia, it's about time, let's get ready.

Mia: Wait!!!

Lily: What?!

Mia: If you really know that those boys's life are in danger, then can you really assure that we'll be safe if we go to that haunted forest?

Lily: Oh yeah.......I didn't think about that, what should we do then?

Mia smirked a bit and stared at Lily with sharp eyes, before walking toward her and patted her both shoulders.

Mia: I do know what to do, Ms. Angel.

Lily: Angel?

About 15-20 minutes later,

Lily: Mia!!! Is this really necessary?!!!

Mia: Why not? You're looking pretty good as I expected. Besides, we will be safe once we got there.

Lily: Really? By pretending to be Angel, the ghost?

Lily was looking at her own reflection on the mirror, she was wearing a long white gown and her hair let loose to be straighthen so long till the level of her thighs.

Mia: If you ever came across those boys or that ghost, they would got scared by you thus ran away.

Lily: Even the ghost itself?

Mia: I'm pretty sure, plus you look more horrible than the ghost itself.

Lily: What?!!! Mia, you!!!!!!

Lily started to hit Mia for calling her more horrible than ghost.

Mia: What? I'm just telling the truth.

Lily: Telling the truth, my foot!!!

Mia: Ok ok, jokes aside, you need to make sure that no one could recognized you by the time you were at the forest.

Lily was looking at herself while adjusting her hair to look like a real ghost.

Lily: Am I too obvious to be a ghost? How can I be one with this bare face?

Mia: That makes sense, wait, I got this.

Mia took out a small red paintbrush at her pocket, she immediately brushed it on Lily's one side of her face.

Lily: Mia!! What are you doing?!!

Mia: And that's it, scary enough to be a ghost, aren't you Ms. Angel?

Lily looked at the mirror again, this time one side of her face covered with red paint, that same red paint had accidentally splashed to her white gown.

Mia: Now this red paint is your blood, just make sure you don't let it get dry too much.

Lily: Only if I have some water with me.

Mia: Ok ok, Lily, are you ready?

Lily: I don't know about this Mia, is this really going to work for us?

Mia: Trust me, nothing goes wrong with this Mia's technique.

Lily: Well, if you're being so confident........

Fakhri: Ayam, do we really have to go there? I really wanted to sleep right now.

Ayam: You don't have any other choice Fakhri, this is the tradition of Kudrat.

Fakhri: You called that 'High Council' a tradition? That's so absurd.

Ayam: But don't you worry Fakhri, because now you're here to stop it, and no one is going to stop us from stopping it, do you understand?

Fakhri: That's too much stop.......

Fakhri was checking on his phone after packing everything he needed for the camp, he was looking at Lily's private messages. He texted her a word 'sorry' but she didn't even read it, even though it's shown online at the top.

This is clearly show that how much disappointed Lily was at Fakhri and Kahar to the point she didn't care about them, his poor heart was yearning for her to be on his side right now.

Ayam: What are you looking at?

Fakhri: ......Lily didn't meet me or read my messages yet.

Ayam: It's your fault, you shouldn't let her know the truth.

Fakhri: Hey, I tried to come up with better reasons to avoid any suspicious on me, but she's being so smart, then how can I beat her with that?

Ayam: Now you realized it's not easy to mess with Lily, you need to be true to her always, just like me.

Fakhri: Don't make me strangle your neck, Ayam.

Ayam: Woah woah woah, no violence, only license.

Fakhri: Dang it, now how am I going to face Lily? She must be hating me right now.

Fakhri hung his head down to the bed with a sad face, he can't bear to see Lily avoiding him on purpose.

Ayam: Maybe you should be more open to her, Fakhri.

Fakhri: Like how?
