A cold wind embraced her while watching the dark ocean at the end, hearing the sound of rushing water.

For her this kind of meditation si perfect. But in the current situation it seems that she cannot appreciate the beauty of this scenario.

A lot of things are bothering her mind. She will never forget the man with the tattoo on the arm. She wanted to find him but she couldn't. Bax is always on guard no matter where she goes on the ship except this moment.

"Chaleigh..."

Her mind returned to reality when she heard Vyze's voice. She was not used to be in the ship currently floating in the sea, that made it difficult for her to look back at Vyze even for a moment.

"Are you okay?" she asked her friend who was now standing by her side.

She looked at Vyze's hand holding the railing. She's also currently watching the waves of the water.

Its white waves can be seen in the dark sea.

Vyze let out a heavy sigh before she replied, "I have so many questions about Vynx."

The truth is that they thin

    If she wonders to herself why Drake entered her mind, especially their past during this complicated situation, she more wonders why her heart beat so fast when Wynce told her that Vynx was looking for her.And why is Vynx looking for her? What does he need from her?"Did he tell you why?" she asked Wynce who was staring at Vyze.Wynce looked at her for a moment. "No, but he's been looking for you for a while now. He's already reached the back of the ship."Her brows furrowed as she left in front of Wynce. She hadn't reached the door where the entrance to Mamo's place was when her surroundings suddenly spinning.She suddenly felt dizzy, maybe because she immediately turned her back on the sea while the ship voyaging."Miss!" she heard the voice along with a hard arm wrapped around her waist. "Are you okay?" She think the man caught her when she suddenly lost her balance.She felt like she wanted to throw up from the intensity of the dizziness. She barely managed to look at the man hold

    According to their ticket, the trip from Batangas port to Caticlan took twelve hours, but they arrived at the port at one o'clock in the morning. In other words, it took them fourteen hours to sail.She was currently in the comfort room when she heard the loud hum of the ship. That just means it's about to land. After she fixed herself, she immediately put her dirty clothes in a plastic bag and put them in Vynx bag. She just ignored the people she was with inside. Because they are doing the same thing; to dress, beautify and clean themselves.She didn't waste any more time and left the comfort room. She walked back to their spot and her companions were there waiting for time to get off the ship. They were all dressed up and Vyze's attire was drawing attention again. The shortness of her short, beautiful blouse strap also brought only to cover her bulging front—a shirt blouse in other words, but she doesn't lose a blazer.Yvaine is in second Vyze, she is wearing pants but her top is

    The man didn't seem to know where to look because every time he turned around in every corner of the police station, there were people looking at him. "Where's his tattoo, Miss? Can I get your name too?" the police asked her."C-Chaleigh Santos," she answered and the policeman automatically signaled another police officer to list her name. "I-I saw the tattoo on his left arm. S-Same as the tattoo of the man who died—on his left arm too," she added, still heebie-jeebies.The police looked down at the man's arm and removed the jacket covering it. It seems that the man hid his tattoo from people and it just didn't survive from her eyes. It is no longer hidden from her knowledge that the man remembered her so she knows that he already knows that she will reveal his most carefully guarded secret. And from his actions, it seems that this man is ready about it.The tattoo exposed to everyone's eyes and the third time she stared at it more closely. It's not just a triangle, it's the shape of

    The car just kept running and the only light ahead was what she could see. The street light they are passing is also limited because it looks like they are entering a wooded road. All her companions were asleep except for Bax who was driving. Even Vynx who was next to her also sleeping. In the deafening silence of the night, she could only look outside. It was dark and only a few things could be seen. She kept observing outside the window they passing through when suddenly she saw a woman on the side of the road. She kept staring at the woman and she was also looking at where she was. She knew that whoever is outside the car looking inside would see no one. But she still felt as if that woman was staring at her.What surprised her was that the woman didn't seem to shrink in her sight even though the car kept running. Rather, the woman seemed even closer to their van. She attacked by a bundle of nerves again, as she act like she's on the edge of one's seat. She pulled back and a

    "Get out of the car, eat, ride!" Colthen exclaimed, currently sitting on the driver's seat. "This is our life today's video," he added and restarted the car's engine."Mt. Enigma isn't hard to get to, is it?" Bax joked, who was also in the front seat, laughed."So there's no turning back guys!" said Wynce who's next to Vynx."Where will we stay when we arrive in your town, Vynx?" Zaliyah asked, turning at them.But Vynx didn't answer, she just glance to his folded hands while his two elbows rested on his knees. "Vynx?" Zaliyah called again."Hey!" Wynce's elbowed Vynx. Vynx looked up as if he had just returned from a trance in the present. "Zaliyah called you."Vynx peeked out to see Zaliyah. "You don't seem to be yourself, are you okay?" At the same time Zaliyah asked that question, the car turned around.Vynx adjusted his seat. "Why there's..." he said in nothingness as if he was thinking and the reaction on his face is as if he's confused. "Remember the tattoo?" he suddenly aske

    "My grandfather said that, yes but..." He thugged his mound's hair then stretched out his arms and simply hug her in the shoulder. Her eyes widened as she looked at his arm on hers. "Do you guys think, how can a grandfather impress his silly grandson?" clarifying what he meant.Mamo rolled his eyes and adjusted his seat. That's how others laugh. "It's like the way you stretch out your hand as if you're just making a way to hug Chaleigh," Wynce commented and that's how she gulped, eyes widened. Vynx grinned at her and was about to kiss her but she moved away slightly and glared at him. The teasing of their other companions echoed. "Let's make it a content guys!" Zaliyah teased that she meant they should imitate them. When she looked back at Vynx, he just winked at her."Have we support them?" Mamo asked jokingly. "Wait, I'm the one who take a video," he said and seemed to take a cellphone."Alright Mamo because my phone is dying," Zaliyah said."Same as mine, I'm exhausted from puz

    "Wait a minute! Don't close your eyes please!" Vynx quickly removed his sister's hand from his arm and approached the pregnant woman who also just dropped her hand from pointing at them. He immediately grabbed her shoulder and shook her. "What are you saying again?!""Vynx, what are you doing?" Mamo shouted in a panic as he pulled his clothes from behind. "She's gone," he said firmly but Vynx ignored him."Wake up?! You had to answer me! Why can't we go back?" Vynx still asked and almost lifted a pregnant woman's body."Vynx!" He also heard his twin sister's voice that was being kept up while yelling at him."Dude, she's dead. Get out of there!" It was Nivo's voice."Mis—""Sir," the unknown man said to him and patted him on the shoulder. He's sweating because of the heat of the noon hour and was also shaking like a leaf. "She needs to be taken to the hospital, to get the child out of her womb," the man reasoned and Mamo immediately pulled him."What are you doing? You're making me

    While they were waiting for the car to be clean again, Chaleigh thought of buying food. She just took money from her wallet and then stood up to knock on the store. But there are already young girls guarding it and if she is not mistaken, they are in their nineties or twenties. They were still grinning, looking at behind her but to the right. When she turned around, she saw Bax and Vynx talking."Handsome!""One is cute too.""They look familiar."These are the whispers she hears from the two girls even though her eyes are on her friends."They are familiar," she heard one of the girls whispered."Yes, they seem to be vloggers," the one is confirmed. She secretly smiled because of that. She thought that they were only known on social media, there is also a part of the country that when other people see some of them they will recognize them. Especially Bax and she is sure that he's the one what girls call cute."Vynx is handsome in person, isn't he?" Her smile disappeared when she

    1 YEAR LATER"Oh my god!" A loud scream echoed throughout the living room and when Chaleigh turned around she saw Vyze patting the two kids on either side of her arm as she ran. "Help!"Her brows knit together looking at her as she was currently talking to one of their friends."Why? What's happening to you?" she asked Vyze and briefly glanced at the two men who looked alike on the opposite couch where he was sitting who were both busy playing Mobile games.Vyze arranged to carry two kids but she accidentally dropped one—just slowly—and it was about to run towards Vynx and Vio but Vyze stopped him. "They pooped together!" Vyze yells causing her to let out a bubble of laugh. This is how difficult when you are taking care of twins. When it comes to pooping together you don't know which one of the two to take first."Vynx!" Vyze called. She choose Vynx because only Vynx has the ability to answer."Oh?" replied the twin brother but did not look at her. Still busy playing his phone."He

    Suddenly the strong and cold wind blew even though they were inside a place she hadn't memorized. Maybe they were inside the path she saw earlier.The flames in the torch dancing causing the whole place becomes lighter and soon darker. Vio stopped what he was planning to do to her. He looked around in surprise and they all did the same.She felt Zaliyah moving and Wynce got up just in time and watched as Zaliyah rose up.Her long hair is blown by the wind. She stood up straight and faced Vio."Son..." Did she hear right? Zaliyah, called Vio a son? But Zaliyah went on, "You're not a bad person.""What's happening?" Marietha's footsteps were big approaching to them."Open your eyes, open your heart," Zaliyah continued."Who are you again inciting my son?" Marietha asked Zaliyah sarcastically.Zaliyah faced her and gave her a bad look. By now the strong wind had stopped blowing."My son, not yours, Marietta!" corrected Zaliyah.Marietha's eyes widened.

    Chaleigh landed in an unfamiliar place. It doesn't seem ordinary. Everything around her smokes and she can't see anything but only that thing."W-Where am I?" she asked in a whisper but her voice echoed.She was not inside the church as she last remembered. She passed out... She ran as fast as she can, remembering the last thing that happened. "Vyze? Bax? Wynce, where are you?"But no one answered. She continued to run as if this place had no boundaries."Vyze!"She didn't stop, she just sped up but the smoke around her didn't seem to change."Wynce! Bax!"The last thing she remembered, Bax caught Vynx's stab that was meant for her. After that she lost consciousness.So what place is she in?"Is anyone here?'Is it still part of Mt. Enigma?"Chaleigh..."She quickly faced behind. Her chest pounded when she saw the woman who always appeared on her.She stepped back says stammering, "W-Who are you?""I said don't let him go." The woman stepped closer causing her to continue back away.

    The woman, looks like a large frame in the twins' house. She is the woman wearing the wedding dress that Vynx introduced to them as their mother.In other words, this girl..."M-Mom?" Is a mother of Vynx and Vyze. She walked straight in front of them and behind her followed about six people with tattoos on each right arm."A-Auntie?" Wynce whispered."You guys are too stubborn and you're still going here. I've sent several threats but you still haven't been brought in! Get them!" she ordered after stopping in front of them."M-Mom what does this mean?" Vyze asked as the two men approached to touch her but Wynce pushed one away."Auntie! What is this?! Why are you doing this?!" Wynce's veins almost popped out of his throat and on his forehead as he asked.The man stood up and Vyze's mother faced Wynce. Her face looks like Vyze's so it's not unlikely that they are mother and daughter, the only thing she doesn't understand is what's going on.Someone held her but Bax took off quickly. "L

    From head to toe, there was no doubt who the person was in front of them now. He was standing and Nivo was on his feet with blood currently gushing from his mouth.They know who he is. From the shoes he wears, his pants and his red jacket..."V-Vynx?" Her lips trembled when she said his name.Right! Vynx! What they saw is Vynx who stabbed Nivo. Vynx is now the man in blood-stained clothes, carrying the stone shaped into a knife standing in front of them. His face had no emotion, just looking at them while they couldn't believe.Wynce with currently parted lips. His eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing. And also Bax that is no different from Wynce's reaction. Uncle Bilyo is now obviously confused. Vyze with parted lips. Sweat and tears streamed down her face at the same time.While she? She didn't know if Vynx was still in front of her. It seemed like a different person and she couldn't feel the presence of the man she loved.Why is that? Everything in her dream c

    "Nhie! Wake up, Nhie!" Nivo almost climbed the cruz. It wasn't that high that he was still touching Zaliyah's waist. Every word he uttered echoed. Maybe because of the depth of where they are.Viewed from the church steps. The altar can be seen in the center. On the left side you can see various images, on the right side you can see the cross where Zaliyah is and it is slightly behind the altar.There is a large stone that can be compared to a wall but it is not attached for another stone. If Chaleigh wasn't mistaken that way will go inside and she doesn't know what's in there.But she is currently standing next to the cross. Bax and Nivo are working on how to get Zaliyah out of there. Wynce and Uncle Bilyo are also helping and Zaliyah's hands are only tied with rope. It's easy to remove if they are properly positioned."Nhie! Wake up! I'm here, Nhie!" Nivo kept crying and trying to calm himself."W-Who did this to her?" Vyze asked and she heard her swallowing saliva."It looks like t

    "Colthen!" Bax moved quickly and knelt down next to his lifeless friend. His hands trembled as he held it while his knees literally shook with trembling."C-Colthen! W-What happened, w-who did this?!"Wynce's light remained focused on them but his face was glistening with sweat. His lips parted as he watched Bax's crying to his friend's body fall asleep.Nivo's body trembled as he slowly approached Bax."I-Is he dead?" Vyze asked dejectedly and you could also notice the tremor in her voice due to shock and fear.Nivo's hands were shaking when he held Colthen's hand. After a while, he wiped off the sweat that seemed to be depressing."No! Colthen!" There Bax raised his head while crying. He hugged his friend's lifeless body and shouted the words, "Who did this to you?!"Chaleigh looked around while crying. When Bax looked up from where Colthen had come from she looked up too—even those with them. All they see are branches and leaves. It's just above where the moon can be seen.If someo

    "Zaliyah!""Hello!""Zaliyah, Please answer! Where are you?""Nhie! Don't play pranks like this please!""Did I hear right?" Chaleigh asked in whisper to her companions. "Is Zaliyah missing?""Looks like you're not the only one looking for someone. It looks like they've also lost a friend," Uncle Bilyo commented.They just remained standing where they were. They waited for the two men to come and when he got close to them, Wynce deliberately aimed the cellphone flashlight at their faces.They immediately covered their faces with their arms—glaring in the light of Wynce's flashlight."Who's that?" Nivo asked and because of the light they didn't recognize them. When he heard his voice, her entire system tingled."Colthen? Is that you?" Bax asked. He had no idea that they would no longer with his bestfriend. She clenched her fists in anger.Nivo came even closer to see them better. "Take that away!" He demand as he got closer and shook the phone Wynce holding, luckily he didn't drop it.

    The dress of the priest-shaped rock itself is white in color and has a red tie hanging from its neck and falling over the chest down to the belly. There is a cross engraved on the left side of chest and it is tilted as if it is being worshipped.It is not man-made by the book. It was only found by the Filipino ancestors. Only its paint is man-made and it looks like it has been taken care of because if this paint has been around for a long time it is sure to have faded by now.Nivo circled behind it. There is an arch there with a beautiful design. Just like the one at the feet of the priest, there are also flowers surrounding it. Some of them are orchids, queen of the night and other types of flowers that they don't know."Someone is taking care of this place. It's obvious," he said and touched the stone image."I think it's a group," Nivo said."A group but the quiet one now.""Probably, it's Friday the 13th and it's still Holy Week. There's really no one here.""What if there is?" Za
