"Day and night you have been experiencing pain. Do you want this to stop? Then, accept your fate. Hold my hand, I'll show you the way to your success." She lend her hand towards me but I just stared at her.

"Come my darling, hold my hand,
We are going inside your dreamland.
From the rivers of Jedrek to the farm of  Erutan,
She who stole the happiness of the Goddess should be punished.
Come my darling, hold my hand,
They are going to kill you one by one."

I woke up to a strange feeling and a strange dream. I hear a song and I know that song.

That song was always on my sister's phone. That's her favorite song, why the hell I am hearing it right now?

Inilibot ko ang aking mga mata saaking paligid. Narito parin pala ako sa isang bahay 'nung Kalmin na 'yun. Hindi ko na masyado maalala ang nangyari kahapon ngunit isa lamang ang nasisiguro ko, at 'yun ay kung may anong pumipigil saakin makalabas ng gubat.

Tiningnan ko ang aking sarili sa salamin na naka toun saakin. I am wearing a white dress, long enough to cover my knees. Okay na 'to kahit walang bra at panty. Importante hindi naka hubad.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto at sumalubong saakin ang malamig na simoy ng hangin. Nasaan na 'yung taga erutan?

I have never heard about them. The myths of this city? Na-uh. Kahit kalilipat lang namin dito may alam na ako kasi nga paborito ko kayang pasyalan to dati.

All I know is demons rule the night but technically umaga ngayon, so I think everything is a myth.

"Skuck-"I choked myself trying to scream. No! I saw his hands turn into something familiar. It's like the claw of a wolf. A lion? I don't know. Basta, it is a sharp claw.

Sinampal ko ang aking sarili.

"Masakit." Totoo nga ito. Everything I saw was real. I am sure that I am not suffering in some kind of dementia. I am sure of that.

I always feel like I am part of something else. I always feel like I am an outcast. But, I would never expect fantasy would mixed into my realities.

I am scared of what's happening. I don't know. No, no.

I tried to convince myself that everything is fine and nothing's wrong with me.

"There is really something wrong with me." I realized something that would make me tremble a little bit.

The pain inside my chest. It's not attacking me anymore. That's very strange. I monitor the pain inside my chest everynight and day. I should feel something. I didn't take any med so I should be feeling something, but no.

I feel happy even there's no reason for me to be happy. Is it the forest that seducing me?

I walked outside of the cabin. Looking around was so peaceful and quite. Birds singing in the air and me feeling happy.

It is the most perfect scenario I could ever imagine but someone knocked it off and ruined my momentum.

"You look happy." He said, smiling so wide.

"Not anymore, because you are here." I rolled my eyes. Heh, I look behind him and saw some cage.

"How's your sleep? Are you good now?" He asked me. Wow, concern.

"I am good but since you are here, you ruined it. By the way, what's that?" I asked him while pointing to the cage behind him.

"Ah, this is food. A little panther from the forest." He said and made me gasp.

"We have our dinner now." He said happily.

"Opps! No, no, no and no. Give me that cat. That's not a panther. You can clearly distuinguished between the two, Kalmin."

"What is a cat?" He asked me innocently. Wow, wala bang pusang gala dito? Wow naman ha.

"Cat is a pet. Pet is a friend. So, that is my friend." I told him. He smiled.

"Okay, no dinner?" He asked me and I quickly hold the cat before he can do something else from it.

"Yep. I am good with no dinner. I guess" With that, my stomach rumbles.

"Okay, let's kill your frien--"

"No! You are nevee going to kill my cat. Go and find some fruits!" I screamed so loud that the cat was no longer in my hand. It was running along with Kalmin.

"I guess my sisters were right about the banshee. Maybe, I am the banshee." I giggle.
