"N-No! This can't be!" Colthen stood up, and almost stumbled towards the gate. He grabbed the big lock and tried to open it, but it was already closed. "W-We can't stay here! We can't!" Now he's going crazy. There are tears to wipe, there is sweat, and there is a lock to open."It's me, get out of there! I'll open—I'll try!" Wynce pushed Colthen further and then fiddled with the butt of the lock. After a while he put a cape in his pocket and looked at them. "I-I need a hairpin!"They each act differently. Her hair is not tied or even clipped at all because it is just short. With Vyze it is long and it is also a cape on the head. "Shit! Shit! I don't have a pin!" Vyze also exclaimed in restless."Even just a wire! On a bracelet! On a necklace! Or on an earring—to pierce this!" Wynce shouted.She saw her bracelet. She took it off because it was made of silver. "T-This..." Her hands were trembling as she handed it to Wynce. It's even more startling because Mamo's screams are getting loud

They walked around, they wanted to say thanks because they found another gate but just like the one they saw before, it was also closed. Colthen bore Yvaine's weight. No matter how tired he is, it's okay for him, as long as they can take her to where she will be safe."I'm not going to wonder why no one makes it out of this mountain alive," Wynce spoke again, still supporting on Vyze who was stumbling. "If the wall is this high and the gate is closed, who can get out? Those trapped here might just starve to death—""We're inside Wynce. Maybe you're forgetting that we're the ones trapped here," Mamo scolded and his gait was not going well. "Are you saying we, too, can't get out alive?""I-I'm going to die laughing at that." Everyone turned to look at Colthen. His speech was accented because he was lifting Yvaine and was sweating profusely. "They chased the treasure? Then they couldn't get out either?" He still laughed even though he was out of breath. "It's funny yet it's a tragic scen

"C-Colthen! I only did what I thought would help her. I love Yvaine like my daughter! I love you—all of you! I have no intention of torturing—""But you did it! You did it! She's already had a hard time!" As Colthen landed Yvaine's head on the rock. Mamo backed away because Colthen didn't seem to know what he was thinking anymore. His eyes were glaring with anger that was still filled with tears. "And you didn't feel sorry! I didn't even see you feel sorry!"Mamo jumped into the water. Suddenly Chaleigh didn't know what to do and her hands were shaking, holding Colthen's hand. "Don't touch me! I might put you before her—""Colthen!" Vyze yelled and her lips trembling. "What will you do-""I will kill him!""You can do it?!" She also screamed even though she was scared. "Hold you too—""I don't care! I'm mad Chaleigh, I'm mad!" He screamed loudly as he grabbed her neck. "You don't know how I feel. You don't know how much I hurt, Chaleigh!" The trembling of his jaw and the grinding of h

"Vynx!" She quickly stood up as Vynx stepped back until his figure became a blur in the darkness. "Where are you going? Vynx, something happened to Mamo!" She wanted to cry, but Vynx continued to walk. "Vynx?""Vynx? How are you? A-Are you okay?" Even though these twins are always fighting, Vyze still can't hide her worry. She also stood looking up at Vynx above and tears were currently falling. "W-What are you doing there?""What happened to him?" Wynce asked in a whisper so they looked at each other."M-Maybe his wound still hurts—he'll find a place to rest," she just said to continue the positive thinking.Later his figure walked up. "Vynx!" Wynce called."I think he will look for the people who hurt him. He seems angry and that's why he retreated because he didn't see the three men he worked with," said Uncle Bilyo who also looked up."Then he couldn't do them alone," Wynce said firmly."L-Let's follow him. He's not with anyone." After Vyze said that, she quickly ran up."Wash you
Mt. Enigma Chapter 47
At the bottom of the mountain they continue to search Vynx. It was surprising because he suddenly appeared for a moment and disappeared again. They were going straight up and there seemed to be too many tall grasses blocking their path."Vynx!" Chaleigh could hardly even scream. She was panting so much but she didn't even bring water. They left their belongings in the river and the truth is that they haven't eaten yet. She could feel his stomach boiling and she hoped they could survive this night without food.Being so tired, Vyze decided to sit down. They want to continue but they couldn't bear tiredness anymore. "Can you still bear the fatigue?" Wynce asked sitting next to Vyze.She sat below them and Uncle Bilyo sat on her right."I'm hungry," Vyze complained and they both felt the same."We left our food on below," Wynce said.But one of them opened the bag. Yes bag, because Uncle Bilyo was only carrying a small bag and he was carrying it earlier when he went down into the water.

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

"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.

"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
