Don't fear the darkness, baby.

Monsters has a different personalities.

Once will be your enemy,

Twice will drive you into insanity,

And mine can brought you remedy.

ALIYAH'S POV.


I woke up by the chatter sound of the birds. I breathed as i slowly moved my body sidewards and hoping i could sleep some more but my mind is yelling me to open my eyes and get up. I growled in annoyance. Gusto ko pang matulog! My freaking eyes are sore and i cannot even breath fluently dahil ramdam ko ang pag babara ng kung ano sa ilong ko.

Anong oras naba? Bakit ang aga yatang mag ingay ng mga ibon ngayon? Daig pa nila ang mga manok ni Daddy, ah?

"Baby.."

I frowned when i heard a soft voice. I hummed and try to cover my head with a pillow pero naramdaman kong may humaplos sa buhok ko. My eyes immediately went wide open when i remembered something. Marahas akong napa singhap at agad na napa balikwas ng bangon.

Hades! I shouted inside my head

"Hey, hey. Sshhh, it's okay.."

Napa kurap ako nang bumungad sa akin ang nag aalalang mukha ni Mommy na siyang naka upo sa kama katabi ko. Her green eyes are in a deep worried but her face remained soft.

I.. I.. t—thought..

"It's me," She said softly, more like convincing me. "I'm real."

Inabot niya ang kamay ko at dinala sa pisngi niya. "Good morning," She whispered, smiling.

Imbis na sagutin at bungadin siya ng halik at ngiti ay dagli akong dumipa para yakapin siya. She started to breath shakily as he embraced me back.

"It's going to be all right now. Mmm?" Hinaplos niya ng buhok ko at humalik doon. I stayed quiet and let her heart beat gives me a peace. "Tell me what happened, Darling."

My lips shivered. "N—nightmare." I confessed shortly.

"Oh my goodness!" Her embrace tightened. "I've told you! Sa kwarto kana namin matulog para mabantayan ka namin ng papa mo!" she scolded.

"I fell asleep in the tub, good thing Hades saw and saved me."

"He see you naked?!" She gasped, bahagya pa akong nilayo sa kanya. "Are you out of your mind?! Paano kung hindi dumating si Hades?! Anong gagawin mo? Don't be so careless, Aliyah!"

"I woke up and there's a towel covered my body.." I stopped for a moment. "Maybe? But he didn't do anything assaulting." I look to her green eyes to prove i'm telling the truth at mukha naman siyang naniniwala kaya nagpa tuloy ako. "N—nagwala po ako." Nahihiyang sabi ko at pinag laro ang mga daliri. "I scratched his face and neck, i even kick him. Wala siyang paki—alam hanggang sa kumalma na ako. He called one of the house elders to help me to get dressed and left the room. A—akala ko hanggang d—doon lang ang pag tulong niya pero bumalik po siya. H—he brought me a mug of milk and stayed with me when i was asleep.. T—then, there's no bad d—dreams again.."

Saglit siyang natahimik at pinag masdan ako. Although she looks in relief, there's a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"Pag gising ko, agad kong nakita si Hades sa labas ng kwarto.." She suddenly said made me give her my full attention. "I don't know how many minutes he stand in there and i was shock when he didn't bother to knock instead he just wait patiently, kung anong rason? Baka daw madistorbo kami sa tulog pag kumatok siya. Unbelievable." Napa ngiti kaming pareho sa pag kwe-kwento niyang iyon.
