Lincoln Pov

"Seven?" I called her with a low voice when I saw her walking into a room.

Hindi ako pweding magkamali si Seven ang nakita ko. Pero bakit may dugo siya?  What happened to my sister? I was worried following her. She was anxious and frowned. She held the hand of a boy. When I got to the door where she entered, I stopped peeking first. I saw two men and Manang was also inside. He took care of the lying man. Hindi ko alam kung patay ba yun o walang malay!

"Athena..." The man standing there called her when he saw her enter.

The little boy went next to the lying man. What's happening? Why is he calling my sister Athena? Is Athena is her given name by Daliah? Baka nga kasi hindi ko na rin matandaan.  

Pero sino ang mga kasama niya? Hindi niya pinansin ang tawag sa kaniya ng lalaki at tinitigan nalang ang lalaking nakahiga.

Nakita kong may tumulong luha sa mga mata niya kaya papasok na sana ako pero pinigilan ako ng isang kamay. It was Doña Flora na may kasama pang iba. Nasa 50's na ang mga kasama niya.

"Bumalik ka muna sa kwarto niyo Mr. Lincoln! Hayaan mo muna si Athena. Ipapatawag namin kayo mamaya!"

Tumango naman ako saka siya sinunod! Kapag nalaman kong isa sa kanila ang dahilan kong bakit umiiyak ang kapatid ko pagbabayarin ko sila!

Sinubukan kong hanapin si Abel dahil hindi pa ulit siya nakausap pagkarating namin sa mansiong ito. I need to know if his okay! It was my obligations to always look after them! I'm their elder brother and I am the eldest.

"Kuya! Why are you here? Nakita mo na ba si Athena? I mean si Seven?" Fiona asked me ng makasalubong ko siya sa hagdan pababa.

"I did! May importante pa silang pinag-uusapan sa kwarto kaya wag ka munang magulo. Go back to you room and have rest!" I commanded her.

"Yes kuya! But where are you going?" She asked again.

"You know where Abel is?" I answered. Sandali siyang nag-isip saka ngumiti.

"He's in the Library! Why?"

"Nothing! I need to talk to him."

"Okay!"

Tumango ako at iniwan ko na siya. I need to talk to that man. Masyado siyang distracted kanina at hindi nakikinig sa usapan!

"Where is the library?" I asked one of the maids.

"There..." tinuro niya sa akin ang kulay asul na pinto. Tumango ako at ngumiti sa kaniya.

"Thanks!"

"You're welcome, Señorito!"

I walked quickly and entered the Blue door and I was not mistaken. I saw Abel staring straight at the book. He has not noticed me yet! His aura is different from the aura of Abel I know! This is the very first time that he become interested in reading a book like this. What book is that?

"Abel?" I called him!

"I need to be alone!" He answered me.

"Fourth! Is that your way---"

"I said I want to be alone!" Padabog niyang sinara ang libro at binaling ang tingin sa akin. He was shocked to see me but he just turned around and walked away with the Three books.

"Fourth! I'm still talking to you!" I shouted. He's really different.

"I don't want to have a conversation now! Second! Please leave me alone!" He quickly walked out the door and walked straight.
