I've never experience being the one who needs to be taken care of, I grew up alone, and taking care of my matters alone, I never shared anything, not because I'm afraid of betrayals, but because I want to keep my ups and down to myself.

Wether it's victory or lost, achievements or failures, I'll keep it to myself, because no one will understand how proud I am ti me, rather than myself.

For me, Telling someone about part of me is giving them a chance to betray you, I dislike the idea of being betrayed too, because I already experienced it, as a kid and as an adult, It's always everywhere, close or wide eyes opened.

I've never understood the part where people who's close to you are more likely the one who's planning to kill, that was also the same reason why I have few friends I can call to, Acquaintances, Colleague, Neighbors are different from friend.

Being friendly is like befriending your grave.

As a kid I want to be a hero, As an adult I learn to be villain. A fairytale was nothing, it was meaningless as days pass and passed, I've never ever thought of prince, falling in love with first sight, I want to be a princess inside the story who's love by her complete family.

Everything vanished when my family was killed right within my eyes, I never had a chance to bury them, they vanished like a wind who just passed by in my eyes, I didn't know where are them, I tried my best, and I'm still trying to built myself day by day.

Being hunted by my past is like living in a world with darkness surrounding you, you just need to learn how to walk in the dark silently so you won't disturb anything, But till this day, I'm still hoping maybe, just maybe they'll come back, just maybe.

Mother and father, Where are you, why did you leave me.

The worst damage you can ever have is destroying a monsters while becoming one, it's a reflex, no one can avoid, neither, I am no saint as they say. Everything is all in my plan. None of them was being an angel.

Unti unti kong minulat ang mga mata ko, I found myself in a huge room, a black matte theme room, I first tried to sit up properly, I roamed my eyes around, Who's room is this? This doesn't look like a hospital.

"You're awake," Bungad ni Atreus na papasok sa kwarto, mabilis nitong nabitawan ang tray na kanyang hawak saka tumakbo sa direksyon ko.

Mahigpit n'ya akong dinamba ng yakap, Hindi agad ako nakapag react, Umalingawngaw ang nabasag na pinggan at baso, I thought of pushing him because I can't breathe, But seeing how heavy is breathing is, let's just comfort this one, wait, I don't even know how to comfort someone.

I raised my hand and placed it on his back, tapping him slightly, However, this one should be enough, RJFNC never thought us how to comfort people, we solve cases.

"Taleigha, Gising ka na..." His voice trembled at the end, as if he alone cannot believe it.

"Yeah..." it almost came out as a whisper.

He cupped my cheeks in his palms. "How are you feeling? Are you alright? May masakit pa ba sa'yo?"

"Sit down first, will you?" I asked calmly.

He sat down immediately on the chair just beside me. He looked at me still waiting for my answer.

"I'm okay now." I answered, Humilig ako sa sandalan ng kama.

"Inside? Out?" Agad n'yang sagot, Kumunot ang noo ko.

"What's with that question," Lumingon ako sa table na may pitsel ng tubig.

Tumayo si Atreus at pumunta roon, sinalinan n'ya ako ng isang baso ng tubig saka lumapit sa'kin at inaabot, kinuha ko 'yon saka sumimsim, Parang ang gaspang ng lalamunan ko.
