I'VE LOST hope. I cannot even move my body out of weakness and helplessness.

I can feel his disgusting touch on my body and as though every touch of his skin on mine burns me in a way that kills me in the most excruciating manner. The touch of his venomous lips on my neck, the way his sickening hand touches my waist--- I'm wishing to just quickly die rather than take such inhuman action.

"You're f*cking sweet."

I want to scream for help, I want to push him away but my hands are tied in the headboard. There's no use of struggling as I am at the mercy of his hands. I feel lost, and everything looks dark in my eyes--- empty, lifeless, there's a huge void.

Umangat siya sandali para pagkatitigan ang mukha ko habang may mapaglaro pa ring ngisi sa mga labi. Then, he started to pull down the zipper of my jeans.

Pero, mula sa dilim ay parehas kaming natigilan. Natigil siya sa ginagawa nang may isang braso na umakbay sa kan'ya at pinisil pa no'n ang balikat niya.

Hindi ko makilala kung kanino iyon, pero isang singsing na may simbolo ang nakita ko sa daliri niya. Nakasuot ito ng itim na coat.

Hindi pa man nakakalingon si Jace sa likuran niya kung sino ang umakbay, ay nakita ko na ang mukha niya nang ilapit niya ang mukha sa balikat ni Jace. Sa akin nakatitig nang diretso ang mga mata niya---!

My eyes gradually grew wide, and it is as though my helpless body recognized the abominable and loathsome presence of the woman. It's an unfamiliar yet absolutely dreadful presence; I can feel the intense burning feeling at the back of my throat. It is rejecting her presence. Its majestic sight is enough to drive one insane, in fear, that is. Much more terrifying than Jace, and much more inhuman than anything I've ever encountered.

Doon ko nagawang gumalaw. Gusto kong tumakbo. Gusto kong takasan sila. There's nowhere safe.

Maging si Jace ay hindi nakapagsalita dahil sa nararamdaman. Naiwan siyang hindi makagalaw at nalilito kung bakit may ibang tao rito. Nakabukas na ang pinto at may mga katawang walang buhay na nakahandusay. Ni isa sa amin ay walang nakarinig sa mga yabag niya. As if she resides in the black shadows.

"Ah, this woman must be Sullivan's obsession." She finally spoke but with an accent, carefully scanning me from head to toe if I'm still fine.

Who...?

She, then, chuckled mischievously but her eyes were full of infinite darkness and burning curiosity at the sight of me. Napaigtad ako nang ibalibag niya si Jace nang walang kahirap-hirap at at tinaas ang hawak na espada sa harapan ko na parang sasaksakin ako!

"Woman." Makapangyarihang pagtawag niya sa akin at mariin akong napapikit nang hiwain niya ang tali sa mga kamay ko gamit ang matalim na espada. I end up catching my breathe while trembling from fear. I am not certain if this woman is a savior, or much worse than a devil.

"Are you aware that your girlfriend begged me to save you since I'm the closest in this place?" Kwento niya na parang matagal na kaming magkakilala, at basta naupo sa dulo ng kama at nagdekwatro habang minamasahe ang balikat.

The way she speak, move, and act, is as if everything that's happening is normal.

"Commanders never beg. They will never do that. Not even in hell. But, she did. That's interesting, don't you think?"
