I've lost all my senses. I keep on screaming and crying. Wala pa rin akong marinig. I was slowly succumbing into the darkness.
There was no light. I can no longer find the exit. Ganito nalang ba lagi? Do I always have to wait 'til this body's tired and satisfied? At sa pag gising ko, isang duguang tao ang makikita ko?
No one will help me anymore. Wala dito sina papa. Ace's gone. I'm all I have. But how can I do everything on my own?
The little bit of hope in my heart was slowly fading away. I guess I'll just have to— "Bernadette!"
It could be my imagination or insaneness taking a toll over my senses, but I think a soft, almost inaudible voice chimed in my ears.
The voice was slowly getting louder. Hinahanap ko kung saan nanggaling ang boses, and then I saw a white light, a spotlight. It was moving and it's like telling me to follow it. I did, but it was too fast. Then, all of a sudden, it stopped.
I saw a man's shadow running towards the light. The light showed his face, it was Ace. He was running towards me and for the first time in my life, I thought that I was saved.
Tumakbo ako papunta sa kaniya at niyakap siya. "I'm scared. I'm so scared..." hindi ko mapigilan ang humagulgol.
"Everything's fine. I'm here. I'll always be here, Bernadette."
I felt so calm. Habang tumatagal ang yakapan namin, I felt his warm body. At that moment, I knew I was back.
But I was too tired. I just want to sleep, nothing will happen because I'm in his arms. I can finally sleep without any worries. Ace saved me. "I love you." I whispered.
AXEL
All I did was hug her. I kept on calling her name. She's about to kill one of the men of my abductor. Hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa kilala kung sino ang nagdala sa akin dito. All I know is that he's hiding.
Maya-maya pa ay narinig ko na ang tunog ng police's siren.
"Tch. We're not done yet!"
Saktong pag-alis nung lalaki ay bumukas ang pinto. Dumating sina dad kasama si Demon.
"What happened?" He asked.
Tumakbo siya papunta sa kaniyang anak at siya ang nag-alaga rito.
"She fainted. Muntikan niya na mapatay yung kasama ng suspect. It was out of defense." I explained.
Dinala na kami sa hospital habang yung mga nahuling kasamahan nung suspect ay dinala sa prisinto.
They weren't minors anymore. It seems like the person behind this hired men from a mafia. The tattoo on the man's shoulder is the same as the DeadEye symbol.
DeadEye is a lowkey mafia led by a man who was scarred in his right eye, DeVonte Iñarez. He also fought Demon for the king's position back then.
He used dirty tricks, planned to kill Demon. But that immediately backfired him. As an act of defense, he tried to make DeVonte lose his grip on his knife. Nung nabitawan niya yung kutsilyo, tumalsik sa mata niya. It was the reason why he had a mafia called DeadEye.
He was rich kaya he gathered lots of men. The only thing on my mind now is, anong connection ng suspect with the DeadEye?
