Third person's point of view

"Mama! Gising!" hiyaw ng batang lalaki at sabay inaalog ang kanyang nanay na tila ba hindi gumagalaw sa pagkahiga. 

"Papa! si mama ayaw magising!" sabi nito habang umiiyak na at tuloy pa rin sa pag alog ng kanyang ina

-

"I'm so sorry Mr. Writt, we did all we can do. It was too late for us to save her" It's the first thing that the father heard ng lumabas ang doktor sa emergency room. 

"Mama!" sigaw ng bata habang umiiyak ng marinig ang sinabi ng doktor. Habang ang kanyang tatay ay napatulala nalang sa kawalan ng marinig ang sinabi ng doktor.

"You fucking idiot! Ikaw nanaman ang naging rason kung bakit ako natalo sa sabong!" sabay suntok nito sa bata habang ginagamitan nito ng kanyang kakayahang pahintuin ang pag galaw ng katawan ng isang tao. 

"Papa! Tama na! Please!" habang umiiyak ito at dumudugo na ang ilong dahil sa pagkasuntok ng kanyang tatay.

"Bakit ka ba umiiyak ha?! Bakla ka ba?! Wala akong anak na bakla!" sunod-sunod na pagsuntok ang natanggap ng bata na galing sa kanyang tatay. Mas lalo namang umiyak ang bata lalo ng tumindi ang sakit na kanyang nararamdaman sa buong katawan. 

"Just try to report me and you'll know what will you get from me." pagbabanta ng kanyang tatay habang hawak nito ang banga ng binata habang ito'y hindi makagalaw. 

"Your dazzle is so useless isn't? You can't even use it against me. Do you even learned something from that school? dapat pala pinangsabong ko nalang ang binabayad ko roon." sabi nito at tinigilan na ang kanyang anak na puro dugo na ang suot nitong damit.

Zandreia's POV

"What's your dazzle Red?" Ximus asked as he was driving to where miss Z is at. I rolled my eyes at his question, when he met my friends he also asked about their dazzle. Iyayabang niya lang kasi yung thunder niya. He's not that full of himself but he just likes to joke about it. 

"I can bring pain to someone whenever I like. I just have to touch them once and I can do it freely." Red said while he is just looking at the front. I was not surprised since I knew his father's dazzle already.

"Woahh, then that's actually dope!" I rolled my eyes when I heard Ximus' answer. I felt him become uneasy when Red mention his dazzle, I guess he's recalling if he touched him once. 

Since Ximus said that it would take us an hour till we get to miss Z, and that's why I made myself comfortable in the seat and closed my eyes. I felt them look at me and put up a heavy sign. 

"Why didn't you wear the beats I gave you? It has noise-canceling and I think It would help you when you want to have peace." Good thing he mentioned it, kaya naman kinuha ko yung beats sa paper bag at kinonect ko sa phone. 

Usually when I listen to music, often play "IDK you yet" by Alexander 23. I like how this song is properly composed and that it calms me down. 

-- 

"So, your father is the one who kept trespassing to the forest huh?" Miss Z said as she was reading something, habang nakaupo kami sa couch at hinihintay ang magiging action niya. 

"Yes miss Z. Naririnig ko po siyang palaging kinakausap ang mga kakilala at pinapasama sa pagpunta nila sa forest." pagsagot ni Red kay miss Z habang tinititigan ito. 

"Interesting. How about you? You aren't fine, aren't you? You're exhausted." I was stunned when I met Miss Z's eyes. They're now glowing with the shade of lavender. "Here let me help you out," she said 

Napahinga ako ng malalim ng huminto ang pag ramdam ko sa mga emosyon ng mga nasapaligid. So, this is how it feels like not being able to feel all the things around me. 

"So Z do you have any plans?" I looked at miss Z that is now looking at her laptop. 

"Oh dear Ximus, It's already finished."

I was stunned when I heard her answer. She looked at us and asked us to come near her. I was not that surprised that we are now suddenly at the prison headquarters of dazzle. Where enties and criminals are kept.

In here the cells are specially designed to stop the flow of the dazzle of dazzlers. If they force it to come out, the favor would return to them.

"You! You're the reason I am here! Malas ka talagang bata ka!" I was stunned when we arrived at the cell of Red's dad. He has scars all over himself, assuming that it was made by himself too.

"How interesting Mr. Writt. Your child is more powerful than you, yet you call him a piece of bad luck?" No one dared to talk next after miss Z's statement. "Have you tried feeling the wraths of his power?" Miss Z continued habang nakasandal siya sa gilid ng cell

"What do you want from me huh? Sinabi ko na sa enforcers diba?! Hindi ako ang nag utos at isa sa mga nag punta sa forest!" Sabi niyo at bigla nalang napahiyaw ulit ng sinubukang gamitin ang dazzle.

I was surprised when miss Z suddenly flashed something on the cells' wall. It was a pov of someone with Mr. Writt. The images showed how they killed sacred animals in the forest.

"So, want me to continue playing your friends' memory?" She asked. Yet to no avail, it wasn't answered

"I thought so." Miss Z smirked and faced the cell. "Now, Red, what happens to those who don't abide by the laws?" Miss Z faced Red who is staring at his father in the cell.

"They get punished, miss"

"Very well said" "Then do the honors Red."

I saw how shocked Red was to miss Z's words. He knows that the moment an order comes to Her, it is always done.

"Let him feel your wrath"

It's a good thing that miss Z is still helping me by turning off my dazzle while we are still in here. Even if she doesn't mention that this place is full of heavy emotions, I know how dangerous and arousing this place is. I saw how Red's face turned serious as he stared deeply into his father's eyes.

"I've always thought to myself that I don't have the right to hurt someone else unless I am given a strong will to." He said while trying to maintain calm

"Every day, I always know that I would be beaten up to another prick of death. I didn't know what was freedom like anymore, to be honest. The home that I knew back then suddenly faded." He sighed and continued "Did you even know that I had trouble sleeping? I've even experienced being awake for 68 hours. The only chance that I got to have a little sleep is between subject breaks." I saw a tear that escaped his eye.

"Mom taught me how to be respectful and responsible. That's why I can't do what you are asking for Miss Z. Even though he brought a lot of trauma, I don't want to disappoint Mom as he did." He said as he still stares at his father's eye. No, it's more like glaring. 

"You're true to your own morals Mr. Red." Miss Z smirked and faced Mr. Writt. "Now, as for your real punishment. Since your son had sympathy, and I don't since you've brought a lot of trouble in the forest." I felt Miss Z's presence gets heavier.  Mr. Writt ended up passing out by the punishment. 

We are now back to Miss Z's office and Red is now thanking her since we are now about to go home since all of us are tired from all of the things that happened. And Miss Z's barrier around me is gone since I told her that I was fine now, it felt relaxing yet scary to be powerless. We were about to walk out of the door when Miss Z mention something. 

"Don't worry Mr. Writt you won't be seeing him using his dazzle to hurt you. Since they're gone"

Can I see you tonight?

A few minutes would be fine.
