Zyra's POV:

I was panicking. I was trembling.

Hi...hindi ko alam ang dapat gawin. I really don't know how else to act. Ang sakit ng katawan ko, I think I'm bleeding and god, I'm crying.

The girl....is...she....here?

I immediately grabbed the nearest phone within me at nanginginig na dinial ang emergency hotline. I cried more.

I was covered with blood, and I was surrounded with dead bloody bodies...of my friends. And the room...it almost looked like burnt, as it really smells like smoke.

"117, what's your emergency?" A woman answered my call.

...But hindi ako maka-pagsalita.

"Hello?"

"I..." I stuttered, I'm still in shock.

"I'm Claire. Ma'am, what's your emergency?" The woman repeated.

"Please help me...I'm bleeding..." I tried speaking, setting my whimpers aside.

"Yes ma'am, we'll help you. What's your name? Can I please know what happened and where you are?" The woman spoke as I heard typing noises.

"I...uhh, Grand Blu-blueview, Taguig." I cried. "I-I'm not sure...there was this girl, I-I don't really remember. Please send help. I think my friends are d-dead. Puro d-dugo. Plea-please help us." I cried more.

"Yes ma'am, we'll be sending help there now. Pero po sa ngayon, stay in the line and don't panic. You'll be alright." She assured.

"Are you and your friends safe? Is there someone armed with you?" She asked.

I looked around, only to see my friends all lying on the floor, and the nearby fire down the hall, "Hindi po. My friends...I don't think they're breathing. Please h-help...the fire..."

"Yes ma'am, we are on the way. Can you tell me some details about what you remember?" She asked more as I tried my best not to panic and answer her.

Makalipas ang ilang mga minuto, I heard chatter then the officers arrived on scene. The firemen and hotel staffs weren't far behind.

The firefighters started on extinguishing the fire by the kitchen. And the police started on inspecting things around the scene. May mga dumating din na paramedics, helping me and my friends.

I kept begging for help. I kept begging for help na sana matulungan ang mga kaibigan ko as I saw them na sinasakay na sa wheeled stretcher.

Feeling ko nababaliw na ako. My head hurts as much as sa sugat ko sa tiyan. Tsaka...tsaka baka nandito pa yung ba-b-babae.

Everything is spinning. All I can remember was we were having a party.

Now all I can see are the color red at blue at ang aking naririnig na lang ay ang mga nagkakagulong mga tao.

Paramedics were calming me but no to avail. Sobrang nagpapanic ako from everything. I can't think straight. I just wanna go home and be safe.

Wala akong masyadong natatandaan at wala na rin ako sa huwisyo. Basta humihingi ako ng tulong sa mga doktor na gamutin at tulungan ang mga kaibigan ko.

"Ma'am, this will ease your pain and will relax you." Yun na lang ang mga salitang natatandaan ko before I was injected with some sort of liquid.

After that came mumbles, as my eyes started to get a little bit hea...vy.
