SCARLET'S POV
I slowly opened my eyes. I saw Keith and Hera sitting on the couch while both asleep. I moved my head and saw a clock. It was already 1:00 in the morning. My body hurts a little. I tried to sit but I end up waking Keith.
"Hey, you shouldn't be moving too much." And he went to me, assisted me to sit.
"Thanks." I said. "Dapat pinauwi mo na si Hera."
"I told her that but she insisted. Anyway, do you want something to fill up your tummy?"
"Apples will do."
"Got it."
Kumuha ng apple si Keith mula sa basket. He sliced it and started peeling it. Inisip ko naman ang mga nangyari kanina. Kaboses siya ni Red pero parang hindi naman siya. Iba ang damit, iba rin ang tindig. And another thing, why would Red do such a thing?
Isa sya sa Three Phantoms, they were made to protect the heirs of different families. Specifically, to protect Keith, Kenzho and Hendrix. Kaya walang dahilan para saktan ako o kami ni Red. And the girl earlier said that she wants to kill Keith. Now, I'm really sure that she's not Red.
"Hey, kain na." Sabay abot sakin ni Keith ng apples. "What are you thinking about?"
"Wala wala." I shook my head. "Mali ako. Hindi si Red 'yon."
"Ohh, you mean the incident lately?"
"Yeah."
"Let's just say that, Red will never get involve to such things." He said.
"I agree. Ano na bang balita?"
"Well," Umupo naman siya ng ayos sa tabi ko while I start eating. "Tinuloy padin yung camping. Tapos kanina nung chineck ng security yung forest, wala na raw yung mga umatake sa inyo kanina. Mukhang nakatakas na."
I finished the first slice of apple and looked at Keith. "Sa tingin ko Anodyne ang may pakana nito."
"How did you say so?"
"Yung babae kanina, she mentioned something about killing you, your family, me and my family for such kind of revenge. She wanted you to suffer."
"What?!" Napakunot naman ang noo niya. "She's insane. She can't dispose us that easily."
"I know."
"Don't worry.." He held my hand tightly and looked at my eyes. "I will never let them have you. I'll protect you. We'll live together until the end." And he planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
I smiled. "And I wont let them to take you away from me."

Dalawang araw na ko sa hospital. Sa tingin ko ay tapos nadin ang camping nila. Sayang naman, di ko man lang na-enjoy. And worse is puro injuries pa ko. Dumalaw na sina Mommy, kaso kanina lang madaling araw ay lumipad sila papuntang Taiwan.
Lalabas na ko ngayon, pero di ko alam kung didiretso na ko ng Academy o uuwi pa. Pero sino naman kasama ko paguwi ko.
"Mistress, san na po ba kayo didiretso paglabas nyo?" Tanong no Erick, ung butler namin.
Naiwan sya para pagsilbihan muna ako. Si Keith naman ay bumibili ng pagkain. Si Hera bumalik na sa school dahil pinatawag sya ng ate nya.
"Hindi ko pa alam, Erick." Sagot ko.
"Okay, Mistress. But do you need something else?"
"Hmm. Do you know where's my phone?"
"I think it's with your boyfriend."
