Letter of death and two dead schoolmates.

Carmela

"Open all your envelope."

We just wanted to forget the past but how could we forget if the past it's own is hunting us?

Escaping from the darkness but you your own is a darkness. There's a limit to a pain but there's no limit in fear.

My heart beating fast, knees trembling, sweating forehead and shaking hands. That's what I feel right now while I am slowly opening the black envelope. I let out a heavy sigh before totally get the white paper inside.

I closed my hands tightly as I slide out the paper inside. And the moment I opened my eyes I found nothing. Just a empty white paper.

I roamed my eyes around saw them shaking in fear while reading what written in the paper. Why does my paper is empty? What is the meaning of this?

"Anong nakasulat?" Tanong ni Cherry sa kanila.

"You saw what happened and did everything you do to save yourself but not the people who is kidnap. Selfish bitch." Tuloy tuloy na sambit ni Mei kaya nanlaki ang mata namin sa binasa niya.

"You touched her and them. You didn't do anything but to touch them instead of untying them." Sabi ni Chandria.

"You hide her. Yes you hide her but in the wrong place." Shioree.

"You heared them cry and begging but you just sit still and watch them tortured." Jc.

"You wanted to help but you stopped yourself." Deb.

"You took a video of them being in hell." Raymundo.

Lahat sila sinabi lahat ng nakasulat sa itim na sobre na iyon. That's what you call the letter of death. Lahat ng nakasaad doon ay mga maling ginawa nila at hindi nilang nagawang tulungan ang mga survivors pero bakit walang laman ang sobre ko? Hindi ba ako witness? Sabit lang ba ako dito?

"Carmela?" Nabalik ako sa huwisyo ko ng tawagin ni Sunshine ang pangalan ko.

"Anong nakasulat ng sa iyo?" Tanong ni Arielle.

Umiling ako at itinaas ang puting papel na walang laman. Kumunot naman sng noo ng iilan habang nakatingin sa kawalan.

"No offense ha. But what if ikaw ang killer? Dahil sa lahat ng binigyan ng sobre dito sa'yo lang ang walang laman?" Sabi ni Cassandra kaya hindi ko mapigilang hindi ikunot ang noo ko.

Sa ganda kong to mukha ba akong killer? And hello I was with my friend the whole time? I don't even know how to kill!

"Ang sama mo! Kasama namin buong araw si Carmela. At hindi niya magawang pumatay ng kaibigan namin no!" Depensa ni Alex at tatayo na sana at inambaan ng suntok si Cass pero hinawakan siya ni Luke mula sa pagtayo at pina upo muli ito.

.Opinion ko lang naman." Sabi ni Cass at iniwas ang tingin nito sa amin.

Tumikhim muna si Jed bago magsalita.

"Walang maidudulot ang pagtuturo niyo sa isa't isa kung sino ang killer. But one thing is for sure. One of you is the killer."

Bigla naman akong kinabahan sa sinabi niya. Inikot ko ang paningin ko at tiningnan ang mga reaksyon ng mga kasama ko sa loob. I don't know what to react. One of us is the killer? How? Paano? Hindi naman pwede si Rhona dahil transferee lang din siya but she is a witness too. Lahat kami except pala sa akin ay witness ang nandito.
