"Lady Winter!"

Malakas at sunod-sunod akong napamura. Naabutan nila ako, King'ina! Mas binilisan ko ang pagtakbo ko sa gitna ng madilim at nakakatakot na kagubatan.

"Lady Winter!" Rinig kong sigaw ni Andrew, ang pinuno ng mga kawal ni Don Demilion, ang tatay ko.

"Fuck! Just leave me alone!" malakas na sigaw ko at mas binilisan ko pa ang takbo ko.

This isn't my first time. Pang-ilan ko na bang takas ito? Maraming beses na, at lahat 'yon palyado. Hoping, this time... successful naman. Ang hirap kaya mag-isip kung paano tumakas, lalo na't heavily guarded ang buong mansyon namin. Lalo na ang kuwarto ko. As in mapapa-putang-ina ka nalang kasi maging pagligo mo, nakasunod sila sa'yo.

Shit this life of mine, ang gusto ko lang naman ay maging malaya...

"Lady Winter! Let's go back! Masiyado ng delikado rito!"

"Wala akong pake! Sinabi ko bang sumunod kayo!"

"Lady---"

"Damn!"

Mabilis kong prinotektahan ang ulo ko ng matalisod ako at nagpagulong-gulong. "Lady Win---"

Mabilis akong tumayo at bumalik sa pagtakbo, hindi alintana ang mga sugat na natamo ko at ang presensya nila sa likuran ko.

I need to escape. Nasasakal na ako sa puder ng Ama ko. Si Mama naman, walang ginawa kun'di kampihan ang tatay ko. Nakaka-inis. Miski mga kapatid ko hindi ko mahagilap dahil lagi akong mag-isa mag-agahan, mag-isa magtanghalian maging sa hapunan. T'wing kaarawan ko naman, nasa kuwarto lang ako nagmumukmok. Nagsusulat at gumuguhit ng kung ano-ano.

I'm already 25, but I haven't celebrate my own freaking birthday. I can even feel, that they're not happy since I was born. Maybe because I am different from them?

I have this cool sharp rounded purple eyes and a long Icy blue wavy hair color, that makes me more standout and more beautiful in our town, and maybe in world?

They should be proud having me, I am undeniably gorgeous and I have brains too! But they really hate me for unknown reason.

"Lady Winter! It's raining!" Andrew shouted again.

I don't know why they are so slow, they are hundreds who are chasing me. Yet, they can't even get close to me. We have a big gap to each other, a really... really great gap.

"Then stop chasing me! And go back to that freaking house!" I shouted in anger.

I am eager to escape now. They can't stop me. I keep asking why they hated me, why they distance themselves to me, and treated me different to a normal lady. They keep pushing me on my limit, and I'm already at my fucking peak.

"Lady Winter!"

I stop running when I saw the cliff. "Damn..." I utter and try to look what's waiting from me if I would jump.

A big stone is waiting for me and a blue ocean. This is too risky. Kung tatalon ako, malaki ang tyansa na mamatay ako. Tipak-tipak na bato ang sasalubong saakin imbes ang malinaw na tubig ng dagat.

"Lady Winter..." I can hear Andrew's worried voice.

I face them and heavily sigh. "So..." I look at their faces and shook my head shortly. "...this is failed, huh?" I said and coldly chuckle.

"Lady Winter, tara na po. Bumalik na tayo sa bahay niyo."

I rolled my eyes and crossed my arm in front of my chest. "Who do you think you are, Andrew? Can't you see? I want my freedom. Mahirap ba 'yon ipagkaloob saakin?"
