Fate became numb by the pain and several bruises were all over her fragile body. She was beaten up so bad that she couldn’t care less but to breathe normally.

Hindi naman talaga ganun kasakit ang lahat ng ito kung hindi dahil kay Sunshine.

She treated her bestfriend more like a sister she could never have. And now, the world seemed so cruel and Fate was not quite sure what to feel anymore.

He had lost her one person she loved most. And now, she was trapped in this place, alone and scared.

How she wished that Ayden was here. He alone could understand her feelings. And she’d never felt like this to anyone. Just for him.

Nilagyan ng takip ang kanyang mga mata para wala siyang mabibiktimang gorgon. She was the heiress and yet it was the very first time she went in Meduria. Kahit sa panaginip lang, hindi niya ginustong makarating sa lugar na pinagdasal yata palagi ang kanyang kamatayan.

At kamatayan lang talaga ang mayroon ang lugar na ‘to para sa kanya.

She hated it, that in order to break them all in a great cursed made by Athena herself, was to sacrifice her own life.

Bakit nga ba ganun? She asked herself. Kung tutuusin, wala naman siyang kasalanan sa nakaraan. Isa lang siyang biktima. Kailan pa naging isang kasalanan ang mga dugong dumadaloy sa kanya?

Kung normal na problema pa ‘to kagaya ng isang pangkaraniwang tao, kasalanan palang maging taong mayaman o kaya naman ay kasalanan bang maging taong mahirap?

Ramdam niyang nakabitin ang kanyang katawan sa isang malamig na lugar. There was nothing but silence. She heard nothing.  She could feel nothing but emptiness.

The place seemed in peace and tranquil as of the moment. Only there was nothing tranquil about what was happening to her right now. There was nothing tranquil about the fear and anxiety she felt.

Pakiramdam ni Fate ay nasa isang maliit at malamig siyang selda at para bang kahit anong oras ay kaya nilang paslangin ang isang tulad niya.

Gusto niyang igalaw ang kanyang buong katawan pero ramdam niya, ang bigat-bigat. Wala siyang nakikita pero alam niyang duguan ang kanyang damit, marami na siyang pasa at ramdam niya ang bawat hapdi sa mga latigong hinampas ni Sunshine kanina.

She really hated her.

Just a thought of Sunshine’s ferocious eyes towards her made her tears to fall.

Gusto niyang magalit pero hindi niya magawa. Si Sunshine lang ang tanging naging pamilya niya sa loob ng maraming taon. Off all people who could betray her, why Sunshine?

Mas masakit pa ‘to kaysa sa panloloko ni Jake sa kanya dati.

It hurt like hell. But this enormous pain was like a permanent mark in Fate’s heart.

Parang ayaw ng umalis sa katawan niya ang masakit na pakiramdam na patuloy niyang pinagdudusahan.

Hindi alam ni Fate kung gaano na siya katagal sa lugar na ‘to. Hindi na din niya naisip na pwede pa siyang makatakas sa Meduria.

The only way to get out from here alive was to steal the scepter they used to create portals. Thinking of it was like a suicide mission. She was hopeless. She let out a deep breath. She hated the fact that tears were wanting to pool from her eyes. Most of all, she hated the fact that she would die in here alone with no one to mourn for her.
