When Zach opens his eyes all he can see is smoke and the on and off lights everywhere in the ship. They crashed. At sa sobrang bilis ng pangyayari ay hindi nila lahat iyon napaghandaan. He look up, the winter is covering the entire sky and snow are still falling modereately sa kinaroroonan nila kung saan man sila naroroon ngayon. Where is Aria? The moment he remembered the woman she loves ay automatikong kumilos ang katawan nya, but isang galaw lamang niya ay umingit na ang mga bakal sa Gemini na animo anumang oras ay magkakalasug lasog iyon. At maya maya pa nga ay bumagsak ang mabigat na bakal malapit sa kanya, that created an echoing loud noise. At nasundan iyon ng mahabang katahimikan. Where is everyone? Zach moves his hands at may nakapa syang likido, it’s blood, no doubt about it dahil kanina pa din niya iyong naaamoy. It’s good to think that it’s not Aria’s blood, but whose poor creature owns this blood? This is not good, they are in the middle of nowhere and someone’s seems to be injured.

“Zach….” He heard Earl calls his name. The damn wizard is holding some magic light on his hands to guide the way. Good for him to have his magic that always comes in handy. But he doesn’t have anyone with him.

“Zach, are you alright?” nang makalapit na sa kanya si Earl ay saka lamang nya nakita ang malalim na sugat na naghati sa kaliwa nitong kilay. It’s bleeding drastically.

“I’m alright, but I can’t move an inch. I think everything will fall apart once I started moving. But it looks like you’re not ok Earl.” He said while looking at Earl’s open wound.

“Oh, you mean this?” said Earl at pinunasan ang dugo na naglalandas na sa kanyang mga mata.

Zach smiled. “Looks like this thing that made us crashed isn’t an ordinary thing since it injured a wizard.” Earl offers his hands to Zach. Tinanggap naman ito ng huli then Earl sighed. “Hayyyy… yeah, you’re right. Immobilizing a vampire sure is a hard job. Teka how did you know that something hits us?” nagtatakang ani Earl.

“The Gemini is in a very good condition to travel to this land. Gerard makes sure of that to me. And look at those marks.” Turo ni Zach sa left wing ng Gemini mula sa maliit na binatana kung saan sila naroroon. “Those marks look like sharp claws to me.”

“It’s a very alarming marks… we have to warn others. But before that we have to take care of your open wound.”

“I’m hoping to find Aria to stitch me back… but there’s no sign of her. No… I mean there’s no sign of anyone here.”

“Let’s find them.” Seryosong ani Zach with fear of not finding Aria on that place. Dahil kahit anong ramdam ang gawin nya he can’t feel Aria’s presence samantalang alam na alam nya kung saan lagi naroroon ito.

SHE is conscious but her eyes are not ready to move and do its function. Ang bigat ng pakiramdam nya at ang sakit ng ulo nya. Pinakiramdaman nya ang sarili, feeling naman nya ay wala syang sugat and besides she’s a vampire kaya imposible na masugatan sya. Yun nga lang hindi ligtas ang sakit ng katawan nya sa nangyari. God! They crashed. It happened so fast. She smells blood all over the place at kung hindi sya isang bampira ay malamang lasog lasog na ang katawan niya sa pagbagsak na iyon ng Gemini. Only a miracle can save a human flesh on that crash.

Then she opens her eyes. Napabuntonghininga na lamang sya. Amoy usok, gas, dugo at kung ano ano pa to stir up her imagination ng maaaring Makita pagmulat nya but now that her eyes are wide open she realize that reality is worst than her imagination. Bumangon sya at doon lang nya nakita ang sira sirang wristwatch.

“Oh…God seriously…” napailing na lang sya sa kinahinatnan ng wristwatch na iyon. Bigay pa man din ni Commander Wayne ang bagay na iyon. At bukod pa doon it’s her only communication to others. She runs her fingers to her red hair where is everyone? She can’t track anyone’s smell sa halo halong amoy sa lugar. But one thing is for sure, watak watak sila ngayon and someone is badly hurt. She has to find them. Tumayo siya ng dahan dahan at kinuha sa boots nya ang maliit na baril. Well, just in case she encountered some unexpected guest inside the wrecked Gemini.
