/Amore's POV/
When does the world really end?
Does every spin slows down?
Does every heartbeat really matters?
What if there is no what ifs and just deal what's in front of you.
Would you take that risk?
Questions came tumbling my mind in just every split seconds.
The breeze that let's me breath better, gives me hope to live more.
The falling leaves that gives me uneasiness by telling me that everything has its time to go.
I can hear footsteps.
"Amore, you're sweating go inside" It's mom, all I can see in her eyes is the true desire of care and sweetness.
She's beautiful, mom is truly wonderful.
"Yes mom, susunod po ako" and gave her an assuring smile.
I was homeschooled my whole life I'm 17 yet I've seen no one new in this simple island. Just my Mom, my Yaya Nathalie, our guard Mang rodrigo, and the fisherman nearby our mansion Mang berting. Everything in this island is comforting but there will be a time you'll realize that everything in here is like a prison. I even asked mom why she's hiding me here, she even told me that life in the real world is cruel everyone's gonna judge me or try to hurt me. Still. I. Don't. Get. It.
Why hide?
Why in this island?
I'm living like only 5 people knew I was alive. Including my online teacher based on Manila. This life drives me insane.
I gave up the thought and stood up. Patted my thighs for possible sand and there breaths out, stretched out my hands pointing the moon whose about to appear on the reddish orange sky.
"Beautiful." I smiled and take a walk away from the shore.
From there I can see the screaming elegance of our mansion but from there on our grand entrance my mom is uneasy and teary eyed while she is mouthing me 'turn back'. I froze into fear I don't know if I will follow what my mom said or just do nothing.
Then I was in shocked when a car arrived Black SUV to be exact.
Never in my whole life saw any other human being except for those people here with me in this island.
I was about to take a step forward when I saw Yaya Nathalie dragging me away from the scene.
"Yaya?! Saan niyo ko dadalhin?" Before she could answer me I looked back to our mansion and saw 10 big men carrying big guns and pointing it out to mommy
"MOM!" I used my full force but Yaya won't let go of me and even cover my mouth with her hands.
"Shhhhhh amore... Sumunod ka na lng ... Ma-magiging ok rin ang lahat" I can hear pauses to yaya's voice and concluded that she's about to burst out .
"Ya-ya tell me....wh-what's ha-happening?" I can't help but cry too.
We just ran with the silence. The whole sky is turning black and the screeching sound of the dried leaves we step in is my only comfort to whatever is happening. Then suddenly while we are escaping, fear crept into my system.
"Nakita mo na ba ang anak ni Madame Prima?"
Yaya immediately pull me towards the bushes and hide as we heard the voices.
"Shhh" Yaya warned, I nod in reply
"Lagot talaga tayo nito pag naiwala natin yun"
Narinig namin ang paghina ng mga boses nila na nagpapahiwatig na naka layo na sila. Tumayo kami ni Yaya at hinila niya ako patungo sa dalampasigan na kung saan naghihintay si Mang Berting sa isang madilim na sulok ng isla.
