"Enough!! The brotherhood should also execute you for barging in on our sacred tradition, the cleansing!" The man said in a low husky voice.
Astrid squinted her eyes to even out the details of the man's face but all she can see is nothing but a person behind a huge black cloak.
She wanted to yell and asked for help but only a small exasperated air came out, it feels like there is a big lump obstructed in her throat.
Suddenly the man brought out its big knife ready to stab her. The killer raised its knife suspended in mid air , pointing on her chest.
"DIE!!!!!"
Nagising si Astrid nang marinig ang pag sigaw ng kaniyang matalik na kaibigan, si Genesis. Inuuga ng binata ang katawan niya upang magising siya ng tuluyan. Bumangon si Astrid na animo'y isang bampirang umahon mula sa libingan.
Kinolekta ni Astrid ang kaniyang hininga gamit ang natitirang pwersa niya. She felt like she performed an exhausting exercise at ganon na lang ang pagkawala ng pwersa niya pakiramdam niya'y dahil iyon sa nangyari kagabi.
Nang imuklat niya ang mata ay tumambad sa kaniyang harapan si Genesis na nakasuot ng white t-shirt at denim jacket.
He was wearing a full geared denim apparels from top to bottom.
"What happened?" Tanong ni Genesis tumayo ito at binuksan ang vennetian blinds niya.
A beam of light raced, passing through the panels of her blue tinted window.
Umiling iling si Astrid "Nnn-nothing it was just a bad dream" sagot niya. Kahit naka bukas ang aircon ay malamig na pinagpapawisan si Astrid.
A bead of sweats continue to fall down on her cheeks and on the temple of her face.
She was somehow wet.
"No. What i mean is anong nangyari kagabi?" Pag correct ni Genesis at naupo ito sa tabi ng kama ni Astrid.
A beam of light struck Genesis' face revealing the features of his charismatic and manly appearance.
Hindi nakasagot si Astrid, she was trying to put all the pieces together of her fragmented memories that had happened last night.
The murder that happened last night to be exact. It was like a nightmare but in real life.
Gusto niyang kalimutan ang nangyaring karumaldumal kagabi ngunit hindi niya magawa, the vivid evocation of a fresh murder still lingers at the back of her mind.
Genesis opened her T.V.
At dahil ganon nga kasikat at ka-influential na tao si Emilia agad na kumalat sa balita ang nangyari sa kaniya, ilang oras lang ang nakalipas at pinag-pyestahan na ng media ang kaniyang pagkamatay. Kahit saan channel na ilipat ni Genesis ay puro tungkol sa pagkamatay ni Emilia ang binabalita.
"This is what i am talking about," wika ni Genesis.
Ayaw mang ungkatin muli ni Astrid ang nangyari wala siyang nagawa dahil matalik na kaibigan niya si Genesis.
Kinuwento ni Astrid ang nangyari. The story on how Emilia was killed is shorter than in real life scenario. Kung ang kwento niya'y inabot ng 10 minutes lang ang totoong pangyayari ay inabot ng mahigit tatlong oras.
She felt quiet dizzy dahil alas kwatro ng madaling araw na siya nakauwi kasama ang kaniyang Dad matapos siyang i-interrogate sa police station.
Luckily her Dad is a lawyer, she was then released from the interrogation phase.
