The Cloaked Truth Series #4: Where No One Sees

🦋 XXXV.

I went out after a couple of minutes passed and wala na akong marinig na kahit na anong ingay.

Paglabas ko ng bathroom, I saw a man in his black hoodie with a tattoo in his right hand. Who is that? And why does he have blood in his shoes? Baka pintura lang?

He looked back to me and I pretended that I didn't see him. Kunwari ay sinara ko ulit ang pinto ng banyo at ng mapansing nag-lakad na ukit siya ay tumakbo ko papunta sa sala at dining room.

I stopped running and made my butt sit on the floor. I covered my mouth while I was looking at the blood shattered on the floor. I saw Audrey's parents laying down there lifeless. I quickly went to the dining room to look for my Mom and I found her breathing heavily.

"Mommy!" I screamed.

But before I could even come closer, I heard footsteps. And she looked at me panicked and scared.

"G-go! go! Run, F-Farah! Run!" she said.

Hindi sana ako papayag kaya lang mas lalong lumalapit ang tunog ng lakad sa direksyon namin kaya dumaan ako sa back door ng kusina palabas. Nasaan si Audrey? Nasa loob pa kaya siya?

I was running non stop while crying. I couldn't even see the road properly until I reached our apartment. Nang makabawi ay naligo kaagad ako at nagbihis. Hindi ko alam paano ko sasabihin sakanila 'to, lalo na kay Audrey.
