"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
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
"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
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
