The water is way too deep for her,
A place she can't escape, not even stir.
If not only for the drive for revenge,
She will not resurface again.
The forest is an endless maze for him,
A place he knows he must not miss.
He will hunt for as long as it...

Chapter Eleven
ILYA
Ngayon palang, kailangan ko nang tanggapin na Killian has a lot of questions.
So, I am in no position to lie again at him. "Darren went to the same party my best friend and I went to. In fact, she was making out with him that night... If I remember correctly." I spoke.
What I said was true. My friend back then, Katrina, whom I lost touch to—after my 'death', was the one smooching with Darren five years ago. Despite being super thin and has his face donned with acne, he could pull off girls anytime he wants. And he was also there the night of the incident.
"So, seeing him again hurts you?" Sabi niya.
I nodded. "Yes, he was kind of responsible for giving her the drinks that night."
"Bakit hanggang sa ngayon malaya pa rin siya?"
"Obviously his family is powerful. Any rich kid could get away with murder, Killian. That's how the Philippine justice works," tangi kong sagot sa kanya, at nagsimulang alisin yung seatbelt na nakayap sa aking katawan.
He does the same and turned off his car, pero bago ko mabuksan yung pinto para lumabas, his hand shoot out to grasp my own. Hawak ang aking kamay, bumalik muli yung naramdaman kong kakaiba kanina sa car meet nung tinulungan niya akong sindihan yung lighter. I was caught off guard with the action kaya napabalik ako sa pag-upo at tiningnan siya.
"Just stay by my side, okay? Alam kong hindi ka kumportable pumasok roon at makita siya muli, pero I can't leave you here outside."
Tumango ako muli. "I will, Killian. I can handle men like him if something goes wrong," asar ko sa kanya pagtapos.
I even killed his college friend last week.
He nodded in acknowledgment at lumabas na kaming dalawa ng sasakyan. Knowing Darren's current location is hard as he is sometimes living with his family in Manila. Meron rin siyang condo sa Makati, at itong bahay niya sa isang exclusive na subdivision sa Pasig. I wonder if his neighbors don't complain from the frequent party noises.
I sighed, dahil kahit na kakamatay lang ni Gio, hindi mapipigilan ni Darren ang kagustuhan na magpa-party.
Bumungad sa amin ang dalawang bodyguard na nakatayo sa labas ng gate niya-- and they just let us in, at inakala na makiki-party lang. Maybe Killian, with his casual clothes, but me? I am considered as under-dressed with my sweatpants and large hoodie. Pagpasok namin sa front yard ng mansyon, makikita ang iilang sasakyan na kanina lang ay nandoon sa car meet. I even spotted Cal's Nissan in a corner. Dahil tumila na yung ulan, there are a few people mingling outside and a random guy called Killian and even offered him a drink, pero tinanggihan niya ito.
