Titus Fjord Buenavista's POV

Minu-minuto yata akong lumilingon kay Von kahit na nagmamaneho ako. Medyo humupa yo'ng galit ko dahil napalitan na ito ng takot.

He isn't even frowning in anger anymore. He's doing something even more of a fright... smiling.

Nakapatong yo'ng ulo niya sa kamay niya as he looks ahead on the road while wearing a sinister grin on his face.

Gulp.

Nakailang lunok na ako ng laway sa kaba. I'm a man, but he's just too terrifying right now. He reeks of danger and bloodlust.

I've never seen him like this.

Even from that incident, he didn't react the same way as now. Does he really like her that much?

Wait, then... Von likes, no... loves Ariadne much more than her?

That's just... unbelievable. Impossible, even. Nakita ko kung paano niya minahal ang babaeng iyon. Heh. Ramdam na ramdam ko parin kung gaano siya kaseryoso.

He just knew Ariadne in  less than a month! Isn't he overreacting a bit? I understand that what happened to her is just plain terrible but for him to react like this?

Odd.

Very odd, if you ask me.

My thoughts were disrupted by his sudden question, asking if how many more minutes left before we arrive at our destination.

"Uh, 10 minutes left I think." I answered after thinking for a few seconds based on the surroundings.

Kinakabahan ako. Hindi ko alam kung dapat ba akong matuwa dahil makakaganti kami sa gumawa no'n kina Ariadne or maaawa para sa kanila. I'm torn in between!

They should really utter their prayers... For someone worse than the devil himself will be knocking on their doors.

Eris Auretta Lopez's POV

"WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?! LET ME SEE HER!" Sigaw ko habang nagpupumiglas mula sa mga nurses na pilit akong pinipigilan sa paggalaw. Kagigising ko pa lang pero si Kie na agad ang nasa isip ko.

"Huminahon po kayo Ma'am. Hindi pa po kayo dapat—  "

"CALM DOWN?! HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN KNOWING THAT MY BEST FRIEND IS ON THE VERGE OF DEATH?! HUH?! TELL ME!" I exploded.

Kitang-kita sa mukha nilang nagulat sila sa biglaan kong pagsigaw ng gano'n.

Oh well. Goodbye, manners.

"Ack!" Napasigaw ako sa sakit after feeling my skin get pierced by something like a needle.

Unti-unti naman akong nanghina.

I see. They used a tranquilizer on me.

Para akong nalantang bulaklak. I can't move. I can't even lift my hand. Parang... sobrang bigat. Feeling ko tuloy tumaba ako. Hahaha.

I gently closed my eyes and tears started to well up from my eyes.

It's my fault. It's all my fault. I always cause her trouble.

Memories of the recent event started to cloud my mind, making me sob even further.

This is just... plain torture.

"Ang kapal rin naman ng mukha mo, bitch!" Rinig kong sigaw ng isang babae at naramdaman ko ang sakit sa ulo ko. She just freaking grabbed my hair!

"What the! Let me go, kung sino ka mang hoodlum ka!" Sigaw ko pabalik and started pushing her away.

"Rie! Hey, let go of her!" I heard Kie scream, her voice filled with worry and  anger.
