I looked helplessly, trying to search something aside the hunger-filled lust in the eyes of the rich filthy people cowering me. Something that could save and take me away from these predators ready to eat their prey. No matter how much i want to run, my arms are tied. The strong, narrow, capsule-shaped metal that held my body firmly in place makes my hope vanish in vain. As I am losing hope, that's when I met that cold lifeless coal eyes that seems to grew darker as it turned in a darker shade of the midnight. "Five million!" She raised her hands in the air. Making everyone to look at her. "Seven million!" The guy in black-suit smirks, making his maniac face uglier than a duck. "Eight." "Eight and a half million." "Ten million." another one stands up on his chair. Making a good run for this auction. The first guy grits his teeth. Obviously triggered by the last guy. "Fifteen million." he announced. "Twenty." "Twenty five!" No. I'm doomed. I've got not enough money to buy myself out of here in case I will be sold at any amount higher than fifteen. Who the hell spends twenty million just for a night? Damn rich people! My savior stands like a princess as she says, "Guess, I'll have to make it fifty million." Literally, there's nothing but silence after the last bid. Everyone is shocked. "Fifty million for a night with that woman. Anyone who want to raise their stake?" she asked again as if daring anyone to bid higher. All I could hear is the loud thumping of my heart as the guy in red, nods and mark me SOLD. As he took the gold collar that was thrown to him--marking me hers. Damn it!

"You just make me lose my date just to babysit your house?" I asked my cousin Trance. I almost punch his handsome face if it's not just on that--i can't even tell what it was-that crossed us. "What's that?" I asked my cousin. He looked at the direction that i pointed out and he smiled widely. "It's Samara! She's the kindest neighbor." He beamed and called her.. "Are you crazy? You just told me that--that something is a person-- and 'it' is a she, and now you're saying she's the kindest?" "Wait 'til you see her." "No, i don't need to. Because I'm going now.Just leave it to your craz---" "Who's crazy?" I heard a voice asked. "You!" I spat. But yea, i should have not said anything yet. Because I never thought I would be facing an angel in a red sweatshirt, yellow pants, rainbow knee-length socks, blue sneakers, and wearing a bunny head band--worst, running around the village in the middle of 12 midnight. I guess I have to check my head together with this Strange Stranger.

"No! Stop!" I could see her fading silhouette. She keeps on walking away just like the way I dreamt of her every night. 'No! Please don't walk away. I need to see your face. I need to know your name. I need to find you.' But I know that it wasn't enough. If there's anything that she's good at, it is into dodging people away. "Please!?" I almost beg. "I need to see you. Just stop." I keep on running and chasing after her. But like in every dreams, she kept on slowly fading away. And I could feel the same emptiness within whenever I've dreamt of this. It starts with her fading hands. Like a human form that's painfully breaking into tiny crystallized pieces that's scattered into thin air, she's dissolving in an incredibly fast-paced. "No. Please don't!" I could feel the tears that's running down on my cheeks as I try to grab her fading hand. "No! No!" As if there's a heavy rock on my chest, my breath starts to heave. I could feel the hollow emptiness within and the contradictory feeling of being crushed beneath.

May maseselang parte at salita sa kwento. Kaya naman patnubay ng magulang ay kinakailangan. Lagi po tayong magdasal bago matulog. Dahil baka mamaya ay nasa tabi niyo na sila Penpen at Sarapen at yayain kayong maglaro. Ito ang unang katatakutang kuwento ko. Patawarin n'yo ako. © Miecky Sarenas COPYRIGHT 2014 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

Hindi lahat ng nawawala ay hindi na muling babalik pa. May ibang, bigla na lang lilitaw upang matapos ang bagay na dapat noon pa nila na tapos. Tulad niya....... Akala naming lahat ay wala na siya, akala namin ay nakatakas na ang may sala. Pero isa lamang iyong malaking Akala. Bumalik siya para maningil... Bumalik siya para isa isahin ang mga bagay na dapat niyang tirisin......... Maniniwala ka ba kung sabihin ko sa iyo na siya ang may pakana ng lahat? O, pagtatawanan mo lang ako tulad ng iba? Siya.........Siya.......Siya...... Siya ang ATE ko, ang may kagagawan ng lahat..... Dapat bang maging kaisa ako sa mga plano niya? O isa ako sa dapat na sumalungat?
