26th House.

Part 1-- Dare: Chapter 3-- Trapped

We got in the car as soon as the girl disappeared. We didn't know where she went. We also didn't know why the hairs on our arms would stand during the time we were there. Our minds were messed up with the things that kept on going then. But suddenly,                                                                BAM.                         It seemed like something hit our car.                                                                       BAM.                                   This time, it became louder. "What was that? I'm so scared! It's so creepy.", shouted Trixie while breathing heavily.                           BAM.                    "Ah! Ano ba kasi yon? What was that?!", shouted Klaire.

"Reece! Start the car already!", I said.

"I'm trying! Ahhh!", replied Reece while trying to start the car.

"What?! What do you mean by trying?" 

"This thing won't start!"

"What?! What's happening, guys?", said Trixie.

"No. We can't stay here. Sa tingin ko, kailangan na natin umalis dito by foot.", said Reece with a sure voice. "Oo nga. Reece is right. We should go.", I replied.

"Are you sure, guys?        Jay, what about you?", I asked.

"Huh. Oh, yeah. Let's go.", replied Jay. But, somehow, Jay was still kind of quiet then.

"Then, let's go!", I exclaimed.

We went outside of the car. Going out, our hearts felt like they were racing us. You couldn't imagine the fear that was inside of us. We looked at each other. Fear and silence were the only things in the air that time. After that, we got going.

The sounds of rattling of sticks and bushes were going through our minds. It was so dark. The light there was so weak. But suddenly,

"Guys, where are the people?", asked Klaire with a surreal voice. 

"Oo nga noh. Where are the locals?", I replied.

We just looked at each other. The faces that I saw can define the words terrified, scared, and frightened. 

.

.

.

"Wait, guys.", said Jay shockingly.

"What?", I replied.

"I think I saw this lamp post earlier."

"Huh. Baka magkamukha lang. Let's keep on going."

.

.

.

.

.

"What the...?", said Jay again.

"Ano na naman?", replied Reece with frustration going through his throat.

"Guys, look. This was the lamp post from earlier! We've been going in circles all along!"

"What? Guys, takot na ako! Umuwi na tayo." , said Trixie.

The time I realized that we were going in circles was the time that I heard someone whisper in my ears. I had goosebumps. It said something in Batangueno. The first part was in Batangueno but, there was a translation in the end. 

The translation was:

"..............Papatayin ko kayong lahat.............."

"Ahh!", I shouted.

I was seriously shocked. That feeling of someone whispering in your ears without knowing it is like the feeling of waking up at exactly 3 AM and someone is looking or staring at you. I had goosebumps. 

"O, anong nangyari?!" , said Klaire.

"Someone whispered in my ears! Someone we don't know! Kailangan na natin umalis dito!"

"What? Can't you see we're just going in circles? We're trapped!", replied Reece.

"Eh, at least we have to find somewhere to stay for the night! Delikado tayo dito! Didn't you hear what the little girl said?", I replied.

Then suddenly the lights started to flicker. The windows of the buildings went open and close. The doors also went open and close. The doors were banged by an unknown force.

"Aahh! What''s happening?", exclaimed Trixie.

"We have to get out of the streets.", I said.

"Where will we go?"

Then, Jay pointed at a house. The house looked like an old-fashioned Spanish house. We had no choice but to go in there. That was the only house that seemed to be 'okay'.

.....

But, we were wrong.

And, here, the real story starts.
