"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

    A familliar sound woke Chaleigh's eyes from her sleep. At first she couldn't remember what kind of sound it was. But when it rang again her heart misses a beat. Her suspicion was right, it was the sound of the church bell.Her eyes wandered above. She couldn't see anything in there because it was too dark but when she lowered her eyes, her chest pounded even more. She saw burning torches. This served as the light around. When the church bell rang again, she decided to got up.Her eyes widened, wandering again to the seats from her side to the front. She saw the statues at the end even the altar was there. Left and right there is a bamboo torch blazing a fire. If she is not mistaken, this church is vintage. But where is it? And why is she in it?She was about to move to rose her feet, but something seemed to interfere with her movement. She felt something heavy attached to her body and when she looked down at it, her knees were shaking. She's wearing a wedding dress. She tried reme

    "Your dream makes me jealous! Why I'm always the villain?" he grumbled to her. She laughed at his joke, especially since he was frowning slightly, which you thought was really sulking. "Then there's another plot twist," he added and scratched his forehead again after shaking his head.She got up without losing the smile on her lips. Even though she had a scary dream, it was replaced by a joy that only Vynx could give her."They say you're not fit to be a hero—wait. Is this your house?" she asked and peeked outside. She saw the statue of the virgin Mary made of cement attached to the concrete fence on the left side and it was still lit. There is a beautiful garden around its foot full of Santan flowers. Bermuda grass is in the yard and even though it's dark around, he can still see how healthy they are. Right there, she could tell that her twin friends did not grow up in a simple life."Welcome to my home!" In the way he spoke, she could see the joy on his face.Vynx immediately st

    "I'm sorry Chaleigh, I didn't know that's what you're thinking. I only decided that you'll sleep here in my room because I know if something strange is happening to you. Chaleigh, our friends don't understand you! I'm the only one who can help you, so even if I stay awake I can just watch over you, I'll just wake you up from your dream and I'll do it. And it'll be easier for me if you're just here by my side."She tossed back and forth in the bed she was lying on as Vynx's voice echoed repeatedly in her ears. She was still inside Vynx's room and she was also lying on the bed. While Vynx laid a bed on the floor. It seems to be condescending on his part because she the guest, the owner adjusted the bed."If you want me to court you first, then I'll do that. I'm sorry if I assumed, I thought you'd already accept me. I thought I am already on your heart, it seems like I'm stupid and I considered that. I forgot that you deserve to be courted. It's like I'm not a man, right? I'm stupid in t

    The voices of Chaleigh's companions to tell the story go in the right ear, out the left. It's one o'clock in the afternoon and they are currently crossing the road to the house of the oldest resident in the town of the twins. Because according to the trustee, if there is anyone who knows about Mt. enigma, that is the old man who lives in the other village.The place is very isolated that they were forced to walk because the car could not enter. But no matter how hot the sun is, he doesn't care because her mind is going everywhere."I'm not saying I don't want you to belong to my family, Chaleigh. All I want to say is that you had to know Vynx first, I'm not saying he's a bad person or he can't be trusted . It's your right to court by him, and it's also your right to know first that he has a late ex-girlfriend."What Vyze says is Vynx's late ex-girlfriend repeatedly enters her mind. Why is Vynx not mentioned? And sometimes when their workers comment on the mansion, they seem to say tha

    What she had dreamed came back to her mind. Could it be that what that bell indicates in her dream is connected to Mt. Enigma? But why is she dreaming like that?"So what's that? There's also a church on Mt. Enigma?" Mamo asked while crossing his arms over his chest."Doesn't it look like the OA?" Yvaine commented and glanced at the old man."Sort of," Zaliyah agreed while adjusting the camera. "I can't imagine—you know? Who's crazy built a church on a mountain?"Mamo giggled at what she said. "Maybe because that mountain used to be a place of prayer? Isn't that right, history says that the river or stream there can heal the sick—""The stream like an Enigma necklace!" Bax interjected quickly and pointed at Mamo but in a whispering manner.Chaleigh immediately thought about the tattoo. She looked up at Vynx who had been silent for a while but it was Bax who pointed out the contents of her mind. "And also the tattoo!"Bax was the second to notice that tattoo. So maybe his mind is also

    It seems they moved to the other village when they went to the house of the person Larden was referring to. It's not like the houses in Father Gimo's place. This green painted house is now a bungalow. There is a red gate and a concrete fence as well."Sister Nenin?" Larden called as he kept looking to see if there was anyone inside the yard or not. "Sister Nenin?" He grabbed the iron and almost pressed his face to it while looking left and right.Currently, Yvaine's elbow is resting on her shoulder as she shields the sun that will hit her face with her palm.Mamo was fanning himself with his hand and it looks like he forgot to bring a fan. But that seems impossible because she knows Mamo. He was used to the fact that every time she looked at him, he fanned himself.Bax, on the other hand, is currently wearing headphones and sometimes dances as if he is in sync with the music he hears.Nivo, even though the sun was very hot, was still hugging Zaliyah's neck and Zaliyah was holding his

    "I haven't heard of any missing girls this year." What Larden said came back to her memory.If no pregnant women have gone missing this year, does that mean no one has been found dead on Enigma mountain? But if there is none, how can Enigma continue the cursed thing that the locals say?It's not like she wants pregnant women have to die every three years. What she means is that having such a tragedy every year is like a vow of that mountain and it cannot fail this year."If no pregnant woman goes missing this year. What if this is the year the cursed on Mt. Enigma is stopped?" They were thinking the same thing as Wynce.Currently they have returned to their Vynx mansion and are gathering in the living room. There was lasagna prepared in front of them and orange juice made by the maid herself for them.Because they decided not to have dinner and only eat snacks except for Zaliyah who seems to be eating very well. This is another strange woman who seems to have suddenly become greedy.F

    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
