Ella's POV:

I started stripping the bloody clothes off my body and quickly turned on the shower with a hot temperature. The water is mixed with scented soap and shampoo that quickly washed off the blood.

Ang metal na amoy ng dugo na nasa buhok ko ay pinapalitan ng mabangong samyo ng sabon na galing sa shower. Pati na rin ang mga duguan kong kamay. Namantsahan rin ang maputing sahig ng shower room ng dugo galing sa kamay, buhok, at mukha ko. I switched the shower into a plain water to wash off the soap, watching the water flow and let it do its job.

Pero kahit anong pampapabango o mamahaling sabon man ang gamitin ko, hinding hindi maaalis ang dugo ng mga innocente man o criminal na mga taong pinatay ko noon hanggang ngayon.

Of course I'm not guilty. I'm a fucking criminal, I don't have a concience. I don't kill because I want it. I was raised this way. Killing is like an illegal drug. It reaches my system, I cannot just take it off me. Ganitong buhay na ang nakasanayan ko, theres no way out of this. Kailangan kong makipag sabayan.

In my world, we eliminate the weak and defeat the strong. So, basically we're going to take over the whole mafia world and make a new law. We'll rule the other mafia organizations. They will bow on us. And if anyone who stands in our way, well.........we will see each other in hell. That's what my father said.

In other words, walang makakapigil samin.

I am not the one our mafia called Hera without having a sack of sin. I smilled bitterly, but then suddenly.........that smile turned into a trembling lips.

Shit.

My head feels like a bomb exploded inside it. Its aching like hell. Running through all the parts of my brain. It feels like it ran out of blood and oxygen. The warm water feels so cold for me. I leaned at the wall for support, while closing my eyes. My nightmares keep comming back. I opened my eyes prevent it from getting into me, but its fucking useless. Its destroying every part of my brain. Its............suffocating.

I reached for the bathe robe and quickly wrapped it around my trembling body. I slowly walked out of the shower room while my vission is blurry. Pictures of my nightmares keep on comming back. It gives me something I don't fucking understand. I don't want them, it makes me feel weak and vulnerable.........

Napa-upo ako sa maputing sahig ng banyo. Parang binibiyak at sinasaksak ang ulo ko dahil sa sakit. I want to screm, but there's no voice comming out of mouth. Pinipigilan ito ng hindi ko maintindihang sakit at takot.

I am alone here in this bathroom clutching my aching head. Before I even realized it, tears keep falling from my eyes...............and I don't know why. I feel so weak. Voices keep echoing inside me I covered my ears, but they keep comming back. Death is comming, danger is near. I ran my fingers from my ears to my hair, clutching it. I can't bear the pain anymore. It's killing me. It feels like, it is excessive than death.

I tried to stand, but I failed. I hugged myself, tryn'a ease the pain I'm feeling. I want to keep it inside me. I can't stop this shitty tears from falling and why the fuck am I crying? I don't have an idea, not even a little. My breathing is not normal anymore. I keep on chasing it. Parang may pumipiga sa lungs ko.

H

"Ahhhhhhh" I screamed out of the pain and frustration. It took all my might to do it.

Somebody, please...help me............

It feels like falling into a dark endless pit.
No way out. This pain is unbearable. It feels like every brain cell is shutting down. The flashbacks are not stopping. They're useless, because I just don't know them.
