~Harold's POV

It's horrible. Yeah, this is the first time I encounter this in my life. It couldn't never be happened if we won't come here but then here we are, facing all this creepy things. Just to gave a justice to this girl, named Maria Ferlinger. Actually I saw her once standing in the staircase while I got up to the second floor but I didn't mind her. I don't saw Maria's faces, it was blurred and full of blood in her dress. Like what Sir Joel said, she raped by this guy who she actually like the one who would save but in other way, it didn't.

            "Harold, ano pa bang kailangan natin?" Jewel asked me. Ngayong araw ay bibigyan namin ng oras si Maria, sabi ni Sir Joel ay alayan namin siya gayundin naman sa sinabi ni Manang Hen.

            "Prayer of course and we could gave some to her." I said to her, she just nodded and turn back and walk to the kitchen. I can see to Jel that she always bothered herself to this kind of creepy things in our surroundings. Did you ever believe in a demon? Actually, I don't.

            I don't prayer most of the time but God is in my lead, He is the one who guide me always. He could be the one that carried all our fears away from us. I breathe in and then breathe out. Im in the front of the altar in this house, minsan lang ako magdasal nang taimtim kaya gagawin ko ito sa ngayong oras. Oo, sabihin na natin na nandito lang siya sa paligid atleast she could hear what I've said that she had to rest and leave this house, quietly.

            Pero sa tingin ko, hinding hindi siya aalis dito. Una sa lahat, dito siya nakatira at lumaki. Pangalawa, nangyari lahat nang hindi dapat mangyari sa kanya dito sa bahay na 'to and the worsts is dito siya pinatay. Sa bahay na 'to na ngayon ay tinutuluyan namin, hayaan muna nating makasama natin siya at paglaruan kami pero alam naman natin na darating din ang oras na titigil din siya at mahahanap niya ang gusto niyang makamit. Justice for herself.

            I bowed and suddenly take a prayer.

            After of a prayer, someone patted my shoulder so I looked at him. "Bro." Boisen said. "Kailangan pa ba natin 'to gawin, nakakatakot pre!" napangisi na lamang ako sa kanya at siya naman ang tinapik ko sa balikat niya.

            "Bro, this could help us even with the people of this barrio. Pupunta sila dito para makisama." Sabi ko naman sa kanya.

            "Kailan mo ba kasi balak umalis?" tanong niya sa akin.

            I shrugged, "I don't know, maybe if we all died." Sarscatic indeed. I don't mean anything, but we came here then it happen so we must find out and stop it. Sumeryoso din naman agad ako sa kanya, "Yeah, maybe if we stopped this creep." I just said.

            Bumuntong hininga naman siya at napailing na lang. Bumalik naman siya sa sala kasama ni Jamela. Si Jamela, bumabalik na naman sa pagkabaliw. Akala niya daw kasi tapos na pero parang magsisimula pa lang daw. She wanna stop all the things I wanna do pero she couldn't, para naman sa ikabubuti ng lahat 'to diba? She cried as if, then she bursted out and shout again her twin brother's name.

            Lumabas din naman ako nang bahay. At tinignan ito mula sa bubong hanggat sa kabuuan nito. How can someone stayed in here house na sobrang luma na at haunted house na talaga ang datingan pero kapag pumasok ka naman sa loob ay alagang alaga ito. Few years, I don't know how many decades the house stood here, but again its amazing. Nakakatuwa lang kasi isipin na natira kami dito, pinakiramdaman at may pinatay pa. she would never ever did this to me.
