The Bloody Mountain

V: TYLER

I tried to look around but there is no sign of the killer.

We were all shocked of what happened but we have to move. I picked those bags and throw it far from the dripping blood of the tour guide. Diazo helped me. Some of the blood hit my head and face,,, same as Diazo. After we removed all those bags, I got a glimpse of the guide's head. It was still staring at me since his eyes weren't closed. It was quite scary. Then, Diazo hugged me while crying. I also felt like crying but I have to be strong.

"It's okay, don't cry honey. I don't wanna see you cry," I said as I knew she was afraid. Well, who wouldn't be.. if we got to witness the tour guide being killed. Not knowing who the killer was and what's the purpose of the killing.

"I...I..I t-thought you'd be dead." She said between her sobs. I also thought that would be my end too. It was supposed to be a double kill. Thank god for enlightening me that moment. I was grateful that I got to notice the knife and shunned it before it hit me.

"No, that's not going to happen honey. I promise.  I said trying to ease her feeling though I don't know what would happen next. Someone was watching us and maybe his trying to kill us all. And whoever he is, I know he was killed enough. But I won't let him kill me without giving a fight.

Diazo finished the hug and got her bag. She also got mine. It was covered with blood. The smell of it stings on the nose but we can do nothing about it. She got a black t-shirt and gave it to me.

"You better take off your shirt ty. It smells bad. Wear this one." She said looking at my shirt that was stained by blood. I did as what she's told. Her white v-neck was covered with blood too and it smells like mine. She got a black t-shirt too and speedily changed her tshirt.  I got a glimpse of her black sports bra and my face suddenly feels hot. I looked at the boys and luckily they have their own world. I forgot we have bigger things to deal on. But still, I don't want anybody to have desires for my girl.

Some of the girls were still cryin'. Now we are only 6 boys and 8 girls left. And I don't know if I should feel lucky to be one of the six boys remaining or to feel devastated that I become one of the seven who went up here for this Mt. Sanguineous.

"We should go back now," a girl said between her sobs. She was comforting a lady who was beside her. I think they were sisters for they really look alike. She was right, we should go back, we can't afford to lose another life. We can't stay in this mountain. We don't know what more danger are waiting for us if we'll continue our pace. Maybe the killer don't want us to be here. Killing our guide was maybe a way of telling that we aren't welcome here and that we should better go back. And that's what we were going to do now. We'll be going back. Before anybody could reply from what she has said, a piercing arrow hit her straight to her left brown eye. My co-climbers gasped and started shrieking for another attack. I could see the blood dripping from her very eye down to her face. Her pretty white skin became red as it was already covered with blood. The girl cried and she became hysterical. She touched the arrow but then let go of it, then touched it again. It looks like she was scared and don't know what to do just like us. The hit didn't kill her but I think she can be saved either. If we'll remove the arrow from her eye, it will bleed more.

I was trying to locate where the arrow came from but I didn't see anyone. It was too gloomy and a lot of trees and bushes were in the area. I tried to see if there's something moving but, there's none.

Some of us went panicked like they will run for their lives. But, we stopped them. I know they were not just scared but mad as well. But running at this time will only make the situation worse. It will be more dangerous.

"Nathalie..." the girl was being called by the lady beside her who was also hardly sobbing. So her name was Nathalie. Nathalie was already covered with her own blood. The lady with a curly hair like hers hugged her. They both have brown eyes and perfectly tanned skin. I'm quite sure they were sisters.

"It was my fault, I shouldn't forced to come with me Nathalie,... I'm so sorry," the lady said between her sobs. Her tears were flowing. I could say that they were really close.

"It's not your fault Nathalia, don't blame yourself.," Nathalie said while an arrow was still stucked on her eye. I could see the difficulty of her speaking but we can't do anything to help her. I feel so helpless and I hated myself for being incapable of helping her. I knew that Diazo was feeling the same way I felt. Diazo was silently crying  while hearing the sisters' conversation.

"Just tell mom and dad, that I love them. Just don't blame-- " Nathalie said while catching her breath.

"No, thalie.. please, don't say that. I don't know what to do without you. I can't go home without you." And by that being said by Nathalia, another spear hits. And it hits the hugging sibling. I looked at where the arrow came from but I've seen no one. There were two boys who volunteered to look for the shooter. Now I couldn't imagine how they got to do this. How could someone be ruthless and heartless? Why is it too easy for them to kill?

Thalia was hit from the back directly to the heart and it also hit the right chest of Thalie causing their death. I was hugging Diazo since she was crying so hard. The girls were also shrieking. Some boys were comforting their girlfriends. The remaining tour guide remained standing. He wasn't blinking like he was trying to absorb what had happened. Then, a lady went near the corpses of the siblings. She was the same lady who found the skeletal bones when we were on our way here. She was examining something on the corpses.

"Guys!" She shouted catching our attention.

"Look at this!" She added while holding a white paper that is a already dotted with blood. She got it from the spear that hit Nathalie's eye. There's something on this girl, she's so keen. I wish to have that ability specially that we were in this situation.

I haven't noticed that there was a note attached on that spear. Every eyes were now on her. We were all curious of what was written. And when she had read it. The situation seems to get worse.

The group was quarreling of what to do and what we shouldn't. We had varied opinions and  that only causes more trouble.

We should be finding ways to solve our problem.. but now, the problem was the solution. We think of  different solutions that only divided us instead of being united.

How's the story going? Anybody here who could teach me how to kill?!😂😂 I'd like to be a student😂😂
