Chapter 33: SysDi 33: Strangers
After eating dinner and saying his good night to his parents, Evan made his way back inside his room.
Even if it’s not the late yet, Evan felt tired. He was thinking of resting early tonight and that was what he did. There was nothing from Iva throughout the night either. So, Evan’s sleep was both uneventful and dreamless.
’Evan? Evan!’
He groans a little at the sound of someone calling his name. He blinks his eyes awake, groaning even more when he realized that the sun’s rays were directly on his face from the window.
’Good, you’re awake.’ Iva sighs, from what Evan could only feel was like relief. ’I’ve been trying to wake you up for what felt like ages!’
Evan shook his head to try and wake himself up even more. ’What’s wrong?’
’Oh, nothing much, just realized that something is going around your house outside.’Iva tells him. ’Not sure what it is, but it has been circling for a while now.’
After hearing that, Evan’s sleepy brain became more alert. He looked at the corner of the room, not moving as he tries to see if he can hear anything.
Not really noticing anything out of the ordinary, Evan’s eyebrows furrowed. He normally would feel nervous if there’s any danger. But he isn’t feeling anything at all. So, he stood up and made his way towards the door.
