"The compass is pointing that direction.." usal ko.

Almatheo took a deep breath.

The compass is pointing a foggy place below the mountains. I don't know but this place is really quiet. Hindi pa namin masyadong maaninag ang lugar kasi maulap ito.

"Sige.." bulong niya. I felt some goosebumps dahil sa pag bulong niya. It felt like something might going to happen to us. Oh god , please.

"Why are you whispering ?" I whispered.

"Dayo tayo dito. At tsaka isa pa , pareho nating hindi kabisado ang lugar. Kailangan nating mag-ingat." bulong niya.

Dahil dun sa sinabi niya ay napatingin ako sa paligid. Wala gaanong bahay dito unlike dun sa baba ng bundok which is kung saan kami papunta.

"Bababa ako." he stopped the horse at bumaba.

"Why ?" I whispered as I looked at him as he was getting down.

"Kailangan nating maging sigurado. Tara na." usal niya.

I am riding on the horse and he's walking beside me. We are both looking from left to right. This place is making me feel scared.

"Tignan mo ulit." he said.

"Ah , yes." I immediately look at the compass to make sure if we're going to the right direction.

"I am right , it's that place." I said surely. I even pointed the foggy place and show the compass to him.

"Sige. Wag kang aalis sa tabi ko. Kailangan nating mag-ingat."

I rolled my eyes. Mas lalo niya akong tinatakot.

"I know ! Ikaw lang naman yung kasama ko !"

"Shhhhh ! " pagpapatahimik niya sakin.

We walked for more like 35 minutes. Mas lalo kaming kinabahan kasi all the houses seems quiet. Bihira lang ang taong nakikita namin. Yung ibang tao ay kakaiba pa ang tingin samin , yung tingin na parang they're trying to tell us something.

"It's pointing that way.." usal ko as I saw the compass shined again. It's pointing the most foggy placed in this small town.

"Tara.." usal niya.

When we arrived at that foggy place ay biglang lumamig ang hangin. It's so cold , it's making the atmosphere more scary. Wala kaming nakikitang tao dito unlike dun sa kanina na nadaanan namin. This place is weird. Hindi pa namin masyadong maaninag ang daanan dahil nga maulap ito.

"What was that ?!" tanong ko as we heard someone laugh. Pero wala namang tao.

"What was--"

"Shhhhh !" pagpapatahimik ni Almatheo sakin.

Napatingin kami sa buong paligid. There's no one.
