Bax and Vynx held Yvaine and Nivo opened the agua-oxinada. They moved Yvaine away from them and placed her in a place where they were comfortable."Hey! Don't be like that—""Oops! You're right here!" Mamo quickly pulled Colthen back to stop them. The area was already filled with Yvaine's screams, it was up to the people around to hear them."Don't be like Mamo, have pity on Yvaine!" Colthen struggled hard."What pity? We were forced to do that because of our pity! She was the only one who didn't feel sorry for herself—oh my! You keep still!" Colthen has stepped on Mamo's foot but he still has no intention of letting go of the man."Let go of me, Mamo! Damn it! if she's loses of consciousness again, you'll really carry her later! Two women you'll carry, I'll never help!" Colthen was really worried about Yvaine's reaction but suddenly the woman screamed loudly and the men were sure to be cleaning her wound with agua-oxinada."It's quick Yvaine, just be patient!" Nivo intervened and Mam
"Calm down Vynx! Calm down! Chaleigh won't fall!" He even heard Wynce's voice and she also felt a hand holding his hand.When she opened her eyes, she followed the owner of that hand—Bax!"Hold on Chaleigh! My God, I hope Bax you won't get tired!" Mamo was trembling and the tone of his voice was clearly vibrating.They are going through nothing. It's only about 15 inches wide from the edge and the only thing they can lean on is the ground—nothing to hold on to.She almost didn't even want to look down because she felt like she was being pulled there. By now she couldn't stop screaming in fear."P-Please, save her!" Vynx hadn't left yet and when she looked back at him. He is still carrying Vyze but the situation is too difficult. He's sweat dripping down his face because of worrying about her so much.Wynce has already put down the bags. Even though he was shaky, he still tried to land properly so as not to fall. "Save your sister and we'll save Chaleigh!" Wynce said firmly and sat dow
Each of them meditated separately in the forest covered by the Enigma mountain. Vynx and Chaleigh are currently talking while Vyze is sleeping soundly inside the tent and Wynce is just hanging around outside.Colthen and Yvaine were at the tree next to the tent. It seems that the conversation between these two is often different from what they used to when they were still in Antipolo.Bax, on the other hand, was currently walking towards two lovers, Zaliyah and Nivo, who were eating. Mamo and Uncle Bilyo would have guestures their hands and kicked the leaves as if they were talking about something serious.Fortunately, the part of the mountain where they were was not very thorny. As if there is not too much fuss or chaos.Let's go back to Vyze inside the tent. She was sleeping soundly but something entered her imagination—a dream."I don't know what you're talking about! I don't know anything, Vyze!" Even in dreams, her brother is still her enemy.She was currently confronting him abo
"I don't have an ex yet, Chaleigh!" Before Vynx found Wynce and Vyze, this is what they talked about. "You've heard what the people who work at home have been saying, haven't you? I have never introduced a girl to Dad."Impossible. Why did Vyze say about his late ex-girlfriend if he hasn't had an ex yet?"It's okay with me if you have an ex. It's normal if you have a past but why did Vyze tell me that you have a late ex-girlfriend and I need to know about it—""Huh? Wait! Vyze told you? My late ex-girlfriend?" This is a strange question. She couldn't even see his face well but she's sure that his look couldn't be painted because of surprise. "It's impossible for her to say that—""Are you saying I'm lying?" she interjected. "Clearly from what I heard, what she said was your late ex-girlfriend. So that means you have an ex and she's dead."She's even more confused. She doesn't know now which of these twins is telling the truth. It could be Vynx, maybe he's just afraid to admit it. But
"I can't feel my hand anymore!" Yvaine cried her complaining because some of them didn't want to move to go home. "You're all fine, you're not wounded while me I'm scarred and I can't take this hiking any longer!"Yvaine is right. They don't have scars so it seems like they're selfish and they don't act immediately."Hurry up. Two of us are already injured. We can't enjoy this mountain if two of us are struggling." Wynce also responded so Bax was forced to nod."It's time to move, where are we going to go again?" Mamo asked now that the tent used by Vyze had been fixed. It only took a while to persuade them to go home because Nivo still seemed to object.There's no problem with Mamo, he understood Yvaine's situation but Nivo and Bax seem to still want to see the location of the magnet and the big stone in the shape of a reclining priest."Let's go. Come on, Yvaine!" Colthen had said Yvaine's name which meant he didn't want to joke anymore. Bax and Nivo also have a temper and don't wan
"They...they took Vynx!"After Nivo said that, it seemed that her knee suddenly lost strength. It was as if cold water had been poured over them and they hardly noticed Zaliyah kneeling next to him."W-Why do you have a wound, w-what happened?" she asked worriedly while patting her boyfriend's cheek."They? Who are they? Where's Vynx?" Even though Nivo answered why Vynx wasn't there, Vyze still asked due to her restlessness."W-Who are they? What did they do?" She also repeated the question. Tears automatically came out of her eyes and she looked at Vyze whose lips were parted and Wynce was supporting her because she was about to fall."W-We don't know, he was taken..." Bax stopped speaking and swallowed for a moment, holding his bleeding arm. "W-We fought, b-but they're better at fighting Some... they even have weapons—""They have tattoos!" Nivo interjected and also groaned when he sat down and held his chest while Zaliyah was about to cry out of worry and was still confused about w
Nivo's plan before reaching Mt. Enigma."Do you also notice what I notice?" Nivo asked after flipping the cigarette he was smoking. They are currently on the terrace of their Vynx mansion and are observing what is below.In the situation of their residence, it is obvious that the twins did not live in an ordinary family. That is to say, the Aviles family is really rich."Notice what?" Bax asked. It seems that Bax has no idea what Nivo is referring to. Well, he also has no idea."Yes, don't you wonder why we didn't even notice from the looks of Vynx that they are so rich?" Nivo clarified. He thought about it too but he just didn't pay attention to it."They're not just arrogant. I know Vynx, it's really quiet so it's impossible to talk about their property," Bax answered."Even so, Vyze is talkative," Nivo reasoned."Even though Vyze is talkative if she has a different inclination to talk. Her mouth is full of black and pink.""You really don't get what I mean." Nivo scratching his hea
No corner of Enigma Mountain can avoid sharp thorns. But when Vyze glided in it she didn't seem to think about those things anymore. They went down to where Vynx could possibly be.They see grass that seem to have been hit and possibly passed by Vynx's body when he rolled down."Vynx!" They never stopped calling him. Her cry grow louder even more."Vynx! Please answer if you can hear us!" Wynce called and he slid down."Vynx! Where are you?" she also cried depressed. If there are people victimizing this mountain there is a possibility that they will be heard but for them they don't care. What's important to them is to see Vynx right away. Maybe he is suffering and what's worse is that he might run out of blood."Vynx—ahh!""Vyze!" Wynce almost stumbled towards Vyze after he got up from the slip. The direction of the two is opposite because they separated searching that part of the mountain."What happened?" asked Mamo who was just to his left with Uncle Bilyo and was also down in a pa
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. "What the hell are you saying?""Th
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
