The ride continues and everyone inside were very quiet. Ezra looks at them and sighed. He looks at Tintin who looks angered inside the pickup car. He looks at Reymar and Aljohn.

"Hey....guys... I'm so sorry.." Ezra spoke, but neither of them even talk nor gave him a single glance.

Ezra looked down as he felt like it is really is fault why Jumbert had died. "It is really my fault..." He mutters.

"You're right... It is your fault." A familiar voice spoke up and a rattling sound follows. This causes Ezra to turn beside him, just to see Jumbert, covered with teeth. Only his eyes were visible.

"J-Jumbert..." Ezra started to panic.

Another familiar person appeared beside him. It is CJ, which covered with blood and his whole face is melting, revealing his skull beneath.

"You made us killed!" CJ exclaimed while gurgling his own blood.

"It is you to blame!" Joshua also appeared. He has a bloody shoulder and the upper part of his head is burst open, leaving only his mouth. Blood squirts out from the place where the upper part of her head should be, everytime he moves closer to Ezra.

Kevin, Kahrel, Polyarga and Hidari also appeared. All of them look gruesome and horrifying. They all looked like the last appearance they had before they died.

Kevin having a hole through his heart, which is squirting some blood. "Ezra... You bloody salamander!"

"I HATE YOU!!!" Kahrel yelled at Ezra. Either sides of her head have holes which could see the other side.

"Curse you!!" Polyarga screamed, but her voice sounded like it was torn apart from within her throat. Her eyes were so white that her pupils aren't visible anymore. There's a knife struck in the middle of her forehead.

"We loathed you, Ezra...." Hidari cried out. Her lips were torn off from her mouth, revealing only her teeth. Tears were coming out of her eyes as she glared at Ezra.

Ezra backed away from them, until he's on the edge of the pickup car. "P-please, forgive me!! I'm so sorry!"

"WE LOATHE YOU!!" They all screamed, causing Ezra to fall on the edge of the car's bed.



Out of a sudden, Ezra woke up from his sleep and sat up. He sighed in relief after realizing it was all just a dream.

"Are you alright?" He heard Nyx asked, as her hand gently pet his hair.

He quickly looks at her. "U-uhhh, did I fell asleep?"

"Yep." Nyx said as she nodded.

"You fell asleep on her lap, boy." Reymar said.

Ezra's cheeks went blushing as she slowly looked at Nyx. "I-I'm very sorry."

Nyx shrugged. "Nah, it's fine."

Ezra's cheeks still went blushing. He looks at the jacket that is wrapping around him, which was actually by Nyx. He took it off gently and gave it to Nyx.

Ezra then slowly looked around. "Where are we now?"

"Who knows." Aljohn replied.

Ezra slowly nods and looks at Nyx. "T-thank you."

Nyx slowly nodded and said, "It's my pleasure to protect you, Ezra."

Ezra quickly looked away while blushing.

After hearing Nyx, Reymar, Aljohn and Ramil looked at each others, before looking back at them.



Eventually, the pickup car stopped right in front of a highway, which is covered with stranded vehicles. Some of them are even in the sidewalks, others were burning and were already looking like a husk of their former look.
