Chapter Sixteen: “No Clue”
Devon
I just... Stood there... not knowing what to do...
I saw blood... Spreading across the floor coming towards my feet.
Eleanor ran towards Tita EJ. She's still conscious... But barely breathing.
“Devon!!! Si Daniella!!!” I heard Eleanor's scream as I finally snap out of my thoughts.
Agad akong tumakbo sa tabi ni Daniella na umiiyak ngayon sa isang corner and carried her in my arms, I was continuously rubbing her back and kept saying, “Shh” for her to stop.
Pero she didn't stop.
“D-daddy... S-si Mommy E-Ellie...” Daniella said between breaths, I was rubbing her back continously for comfort and then she wrapped her arms around my neck and continued crying on my shoulder.
“I-I'll c-ca-call t-tito Chris...” sabi ni Eleanor sakin sa nanginginig niyang boses. Her hand was shaking and her eyes were red from crying.
I didn't know what to do...
Hindi ko kayang icomfort silang dalawa at the same time!
And yet, si Tita din nanganganib ang buhay!
“T-tito Chris... Si M-mo-mommy...N-Nabaril... Opo... Please tito p-pakibilisan.” I heard Eleanor say then she ended the call.
She was on the floor, at ganun din si tita EJ, blood was spreading across the living room floor.
Her own mother's Blood was on her hands.
Until a flashback of my memory when my own mother died of an accident.

“Yes po he just arrived from work.” I answered back politely.
[Great,can you please get him on the phone for me?]
