Update 33: The Turn of the Century

|Seth's POV|

After the tragedy at the veranda, Drake hurriedly brought Natasha to his room while Rex assisted Art as he came back to his old self after the bullet buried on his shoulder. I heaved a sigh. Hindi ito ang inaasahan kong mangyari between all of us, but I guess, there is someone's plan working in the process of our destruction.

"What are you doing up there, Professor Sy?" from my eyes closed, I open them boringly and looked at her - wearing an angelic smile - on the ground.

"Why not accompany your brother instead, Angel?" I jumped from the tree and walked towards her. "Or I must say, Scarlet."

"AHHHHHHH!" a loud screeching sound embraced the whole place. I turn my head aggressively to the mansion and glared at her.

"Asshole! I am here with you so don't you dare suspect me!" She said, gritting her teeth in anger.

I cussed under my breath and ran to where we heard the scream. T'was Natasha who screamed and that is one thing for sure, but for what reason?

We reached the second floor at nadatnan namin ang lahat sa may pintuan ng kwarto ni Astrid, even Art who was shot earlier. I entered the room and went to Natasha.

"What happened? It seems you had seen a ghost lurking around."

She turned to me, still wearing that look on her face. "I did."

What she has said puzzled me. And what puzzled me more is when Clifton arrived, chasing his breath with hands on his knees.

"Astrid...She's missing!"

After the confusion, we all settled at the living room.

"She can't be missing and you all know that."

"We know, Seth. But what's going on now? She has not fully recovered for Pete's sake!" Clifton.

"Maybe she went shopping?" Lexus.

"Or in the cr?" Dionysus.

"Disus! There are a lot of cr in this mansion, what the hell?" It was Nike this time.

"I'm just trying to help, okay." Dionysus crossed his arms with teary eyes.

"Or she was kidnapped. But that was impossible, right." Rex laughed. "What? Did I say something?"

We all took that as a sign and went to our phones. Astrid's weak and she hasn't regain her energy yet to fight so there is a possibility na ganoon nga ang nangyari, pero bakit? Something is odd and I can't figure it out.

"Hey. Here she is!" It was Lexus, pointing at the LCD.

"Why the hell is she there?" Natasha.

"A game. Someone's inside the mansion and he's playing with us!" Nike screamed in fear.

"How can we save her?" Clifton asked in a very serious tone. I eyed him.

"In order to get her is to be in the game." Lexus. He seemed to notice that we're waiting for him to continue. He sighed. "I can get put you in the system."

"You've gotta be kidding us, kiddo." Scarlet laughed bitterly. Natasha glared at her.

"Then go." He said. Clifton. He surely is dead serious.

"Okay then. We got some devices with us. Wear it."

"Let the game begin!" Rex whistled.
