Thirty Fourth Trial

Chapter Theme song: Kung wala ka by Hale

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL GRADE 12

MAY KUMUHA SA KANIYA.

Candace couldn't form any word when Bryson said that while they were half running, and half walking in the middle of grass field. Kung pwede lang na liparin ang distansya ay ginawa na nito. Bryson was holding her hand tightly as if she will be gone anytime soon.

And that's what really Bryson was thinking. Iisa lang ang dahilan sa isip niya kung bakit nawawala si Bella, and there's also a huge chance that Candace will be gone. That they will get her too. This is what him and his parents had been trying to prevent over the years.

At mas lalo lang iyong lumala nang tinanggap niya ang gamot na 'yon.

Tangina.

This...is... it. The price of his trade.

The Altera Vita is currently in his hands now, at ilang taon na simula nang mapunta sa kaniya iyon. Ilang beses niyang tinanggihan na mapunta sa kaniya, at ipananatili na lang sa iba but he has to accept it. He traded, and in exchange of the trade was accepting the medicine in his hands even he knows what would happen the moment he accepts it. HE knows and he saw what happened to Easton when he accepted it. He knows what happened to Zane when it was in his hands. The same thing happened to Declan.

Pilit nilang inililigaw ang Black Coffins, but because of the transition they're making, it's just getting worst.

WHEN Bryson and Candace reached his car, he guided Candace inside even with anxious state. He's worried for his little sister, and all he wanted to do was to speed up his car, and go find Bella. Bata pa ang kapatid niya, at wala pang sapat na pag-iisip at lakas para labanan ang sarili laban sa mga paniguradong kumuha sa kaniya. He has to be there for his sister.

Umikot ang tingin ni Bryson sa paligid matapos isara ang pintuan ng sasakyan kay Candace. He saw their men. May tumango sa kaniya. Mas dumami ang mga ito matapos tumawag ng ama niya. Doubling their security until they get home, and secured Candace.

"Tumawag na ba sila tita sa police?" Candace asked. Worried was evident in her voice too.

Alam niyang katulad niya, Candace is worried too. Mas lalo na lang kapag nalaman ito ni Arrow at Macey. Bella is basically their little sister, even not by blood. Hindi makukumpleto ang araw ng tatlo niyang kaibigan nang hindi nakakarga si Bella.

And Candace might admit it to Bryson or not, his little sister was the reason... one of the reasons why Candace is still with him, and didn't lose grip of her back when they were having issues because of what Diane poisoned in Candace mind.

"Oo..." sagot ni Bryson. Alam niyang nagsisinungaling siya, but it was for the best for now. Police is nothing to them but a decoration right now. Walang maitutulong.

Tumango si Candace. "Mahahanap natin siya. Baka...may nakakita sa kaniya at may tatawag 'din para ipasundo."

That's impossible.

No one would see Bella on the streets or some sort. Alam niya ang totoo, at kung bakit siya pinapauwi ng mga magulang niya. He needs to be there, and he also needs to be the one to find Bella, at the same time, he has to secure Candace. Para hindi ito madamay.

"Thank you..." he whispered at Candace. He knows she's trying to comfort her even she knows nothing, and even he's lying everything at her, Candace was still able to reach him and comfort him.
