ONE thunderous evening deafening the night. 


Darkness filled the palace,


A palace everybody dreamed of,


Seems not dreamy now that it was filled of anger and evil,


Once filled of love and happiness,


One night where everything changes.


'Daddy? Mommy?'


I can't stop crying.


'Where are you?'


I heard a lot of whispers and whimpering.


'Mommy?'


Are you finding for me too?


Daddy?


Did you search for me, too?


"Ava, don't come near here"


I  heard some croak in her voice... is that my Mommy?


"You're not safe here, darling."


Daddy? Please let me see you!


I wanted to see them.


'Why can't I?'


"It's dangerous, honey. They might use you as a tool"


'What are you talking about, dad'


"Farewell, my daughter"


Mom no!


"Run! Run away my princess and please..."


Hearing my father's sobs makes my heart shattered


"Never return."


And I heard loud shrieks, 


sirens, 


explosives, 


gun's shots


and 


A laugh I cannot seemed to forget.


"Ah, here's my precious one. Gotcha!"


And as if it's a cue, I wake up... quivering with fear


I closed my eyes for a second for another darkness succumbed me when I opened my eyes earlier.


'That night still haunts me to death huh?'


Nagulantang ako sa tunog na umalulong sa aking silid. Nagmula ito sa orasan na di kalayuan sa aking banda. Little distractions makes me really cautious. Madali lang akong makaramdan ng kahit konting galaw, aura, o iba pang kabilang sa aking senses. Matalas lang siguro o... baka isa to sa naburang pangyayari noon.


Iniiling ko na lamang ang kung anong memoryang nasa isip at bumangon sa aking pagkahiga. I sighed when I notice the dropped tablets beside me and the bottle on my hand. No use, eh? I stood up and threw the remaining in the toilet and immediately flushed it


I made sure na Iv'e taken too much of it, but I guess it wasn't enough for me to die', I irritably whispered inside my head.


Why can't I just die, huh? Why can't you just die!


 I punch the mirror revealing my reflection. 


I'm a freak.
