The car drove off, she can hear the yelling of Esther and Zackary from the distance, but Gen and her friends refused to stop.
Upon Ram and the others arrival, she felt the world for once, gave her something to look forward to. She thought they loathed her for what she had become, but their hugs and tears proved otherwise. When Esther and the rest gave her and her friends some privacy, Ram suggested that they visit the noodle shop again. Gen smiled and immidiately agreed. They slipped out of the garden, into Ram's car and drove off.
The whisper still accompanied her though, but the immeasurable happiness she felt, subdued it for a while.
"Can two people truly look alike?" Patrick muttered as he rolled down one of the car's window.
Patrick and Ram almost attacked Zackary that morning, confusing him for Mike. Gen wanted to ask why they even wanted to attack Mike, her question was answered by Ram, who assured
(2:00 P. M Tuesday August 2015)The town of Caracia is silent compared to their small town. The trees though, far exceeds the one's they have. The forest in Caracia is denser compared to Sutoria. The wind blew Gen's hair back as she walked along side Ram."I have a question" Ram begun as they settled themselves on a bench under a tree."I was expecting an answer" came her reply."Well, so do i, why didn't you say anything Gen?You could have told them the truth!" Ram took a different tone as he said those words. His shoulders began to shake, and for the first time, he wanted to cry like a child. He wanted to stomp his feet and throw a tantrum. He had kept it inside all this time. He played the mediator and planned their mission. He gave instructions to the rest of their friends, pretending he was alright. Convincing everyone that he has control, but the truth is, he felt ashamed and weak. H
(3:00 P. M Tuesday August 2015)He slithered through the air, watching as the car drove away. He smiled at himself when a he finally found a new path, a path that she will accept. A path, that she will love.Menacingly, he smiled.Gen kept trying to free herself from Esther's protective arm. Even as they sat inside the car which is now being driven by Zackary, she still has her arms wrapped around Gen's shoulder. Esther refused to let her ride with her friends and commanded her to ride in the van they came with.7:30 P. M The drive was filled with silence. Sturbed only by the occasional stirring of Damien who appeared to be uncomfortable sitting beside Gen.Ram's car is trudging behind them. Gen can almost see and feel the anger painted on their faces, especially Ram. "When this is all over, I will make sure to keep them with me all the time" Gen thought
The evening felt colder than usual, the breeze from the forest surrounding the small town of Sutoria sent a foreboding chill down everyone's spine. The market which usually stayed alive until ten in the evening was deserted. Houses are shut due to the relentless wind dancing across the horizon, even the gossiping women who often strayed on the streets of Sutoria retired earlier that night. The police chief asked his men to retire early too, but warned them to keep their phones and ears open. He didn't hear of any storm coming their way, but the weather told otherwise.Angus guided Delfin around town, they managed to find a local store still open and bought the beer. The baker's son, with his naturally born intelligence also bought candles and flashlights. "just incase we lose electricity" he said to the teen who was eyeing him with curiosity.They drove back to the Calderon mansion with haste. ***********************************
(10:35 P.M August 2015)Zackary froze in place. He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but when the image of Mitch fully registered itself on his head. He tried to run back upstairs.Damien shivered and accidentally released his hold on Mitch when a dark foreboding shadow radiated from the man. He had seen many things in his life. As a child, the weird dark shadows that loomed over people was a constant thing. When he was sent to the mental institution at a young age, he fought hard to prove he wasn't a liar. He desperately begged the doctors to believe him, but when they started to make his life miserable, he stopped and learned how to live with the weird things that surrounded him. His life got better and in time, the doctors began to treat him well and released him from the institution, fearing the judgement of people, Damien stayed at the hospital as a worker, deciding to remain silent, forever.Everything was going smoothly for him and his aunt, un
Thunder rumbled across the horizon, lightning flashed as rivulets of rain pellted on the roof of the Calderon mansion.Ram huffed and gave Zackary another punch on the cheek. The young doctor who was already stumbling from the first blow, fell on his knees."What did you do to him, you son of a bitch!" Ram yelled. Angus ran towards them to mediate, but was immediately caught by Mitch's man."Talk ashole!" Ram screamed angrily as he tried to kick Zackary who was already squirming in pain.Zackary, with his pride, wounded and body beaten, grabbed Rams right leg as his left tried to kick him, sending Ram out of balance and falling on the floor.As the two fought each other. The lights went off. Everything and everyone went silent. Only the sound of thunder and rain can be heard."What's happening?" the voice of Genelyn Calderon echoed through out the living room. Everything happened fast, the next sound each man heard was the voices of two wome
As the coldness inside the room increased, so did his body. Mori can barely feel his fingers and toes, his lids felt like they were frozen in place. His eyes watered and salty liquid began to cascade down his cheeks.The weird obsidian liquid slithered up to his bed and as it reached his foot, a low chilly voice whispered into his ear. Mori tried to turn his head to the side, but it too, felt frozen in place."Do you believe?" the voice asked.Mori wanted to answer, but what came out is nothing more than a gurgling sound.The old man watched in astonishment as the liquid wrapped itself on his foot and slithered up his tighs, curling to his smotach, until it swaddled him completely.He felt his chest tighten as the liquid constrict around his body. His already labored breathing completely lost, as the foreign matter gave one last compression.He always wondered what death would be like. He never believed that winged beings will welcome him, o
Esther watched from the space between the dining room door and its frame. She saw everything, heard everything and for the last time, Esther cried. She recognized the contorted figure standing behind Carry. Her heart broke and her dreams shattered. The old house keeper silently walked towards her bedroom, closed the door and pulled out a nylon rope from her drawer. As she pulled her rocking chair towards the middle of the room, her door slowly opened and a dark shadow like matter slithered on the floor followed by a contorted figure.Esther smiled and without fear or hesitation, she walked up to the being. "It's alright love, no one can hurt you now" she whispered.The thing let out an ear splitting scream and wrapped its contorted arm around the house keeper's body. Esther did not flinch or took a step away. She let it hug her and watched how it turned away, leaving dark wet foot marks on the floor.(Wednesday, 2:
(Wednesday morning, 9:00AM Aug 2015)A continuous knocking on the front door of chief Baldermor's house rattled the entire House hold. With hazy eyes, the police chief stepped out of his house wearing a thick robe and was immediately greeted by a lavish looking woman."Good morning sir. I was told this is the house of the town's chief. Will you be kind enough to guide us towards the Calderon mansion?" the woman asked politely.Her stature and demeanour left Carlos Baldermor mute. The last time he heard someone speak formally and saw a woman hold herself with grace was when Althea Calderon asked for his help about getting a licence." Su.. Sure" the chief answered, his words rolled out unintelligible due to the rapid beating of his heart.It only took Carlos Baldemor a few minutes before he found himself outside his house, standing infront of a graceful lady and a bunch oth
