     I tried to run to him, but I couldn't.

     It seems that my body is paralyzed. I can move my eyes, but definitely not my body.

     I looked on Mr. LS and Celine, and I was shocked that they were on the floor, holding their heads tightly, screaming without sounds.

     It seems that they are enduring the pain, but wait! Pain? Why? How? Pain from what?

      Ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa kanya, at laking gulat ko na harap harapan na kami. Creepy, nakangisi siya at halos walang ng mga mata dahil sa kanyang ngiti na abot hanggang noo. Nakasuot siya ng purong itim na coat? May hood ito at hindi ko na maaninag papaba dahil may kadiliman ang paligid.

     "Hi, baby brother!", he cheerfully said. It seems that he really missed me, after several long years, believing that he was already dead. I wanted to cry because of the happiness that I felt but...

     "Buhay ka pa pala?", nagngangalit niyang turan matapos biglaang magpalit mula sa kasiyahan ang kanyang ekspresyon papunta sa galit. Nanglilisik ang mga mata niya.

     My eyes were trembling. I don't know what to do. I was afraid, the fear started to eat me. What's goin' on? Eerie things and questions started to float on my mind.

     He raised his right hand, noticing that it has many tatoos or sort of strange markings. Wait! I think l've seen those before, but when and where?

     Nagsimula siyang bumigkas ng mga salitang hindi ko maintindihan, hindi ko ma-decode ang sinasabi niya, parang walang katuturan. Hindi parin ako makagalaw, katulad nina Mr. LS at Celine. Unti unting nagiging blurred ang paningin ko, hindi ko siya maaninag hanggang sa... kumislap ang mata niya? Hindi ako pwedeng magkamali, kumislap ang mga mata niya, kulay pula.

     My clear vision returned when I heard a loud shout.

     "Roe, Ilag!", si Celine habang akay si Mr. LS.

     It was a miracle that I have moved my body after suffering from few moments of paralysis.

     Nagawa kong makatalon sa direksyon nina Celine, buti na lang nakailag ako sa ginawa ni Kuya Morgan.

     It was a shot of Thick beam of shadow with some red shiny dusts that you could normally see when someone is welding.

     "That was close", I said jerking my feet.

     "Yeah! Not yet my best baby brother!", Morgan said while giving us an I-WANT-TO-KILL-YOU look. He then raised his right hand towards us again throwing a powerful second shot.

     I can't run that fast, it's a light of shadow, meaning, It's fast as light. Why is he doing these things? What have I done to him? Is he the faceless man in my dream? The faceless man that gets energies from any source around him.

     I then closed my eyes. He is so powerful. Sorry. It's our end...

     After several seconds. There was no beam that his us, there was no attack, there was no eerie thing that destroyed us, there was nothing. Until I opened my eyes. I saw Celine standing, raising her both arms in the air. Murmuring something that I couldn't understand just like Morgan's a while ago.
