“Ma'am,” a person called suddenly who broke the silence once the two looked at him.“Geoffrey,” Axton said.“Ma'am, Xania is awake,” Geoffrey said.The two were surprised and looked at each other first, before they thought of going back to the clinic at the same time.When they arrived, Yune, Iris, Lizar, Willow and Oriana were still there while Xania was lying on the bed, her eyes open and glimpsed at the three of them before averting her eyes. Ma'am sighed and looked at the others.“Can you leave me and Xania here first?”Ma'am asked, and each of them also answered “Yes” or “Understood”.After they left, Ma'am Safira looked at Xania again but she’s still avoiding looking at her. Ma'am Safira took a chair and placed it beside the bed and sat down.Silence passed between them.When Ma'am Safira's sigh broke it.“I know you're angry, an

After Ma'am left, she reached the shore of the sea because that clinic was so close to it.Now, with no one to see her, pity and grief carved on Ma'am Safira's face.She remembered clearly the look on Xania's face as tears flowed down her face… especially when she remembered that night...No one actually knew that Safira was able to follow Jacky to the building where the organization of Mr.Victorino is.Using her wings, she followed Jacky through the sky.She found it difficult to enter because of the number of people on guard so she knockedthem downone by one so thatthey wouldloseconsciousness.She's using her tails to each person seeing her entering the building at that time and ensures that whenever they lose consciousness, they will not remember they saw her.Using the extended ears on her head as one of her tails, she heard where Xania was imprisoned that's why she came rus

In a dark room, with only the moonlight coming from a window that illuminates that room,Vince is standing by the window staring out in the open like he’s waiting for something.No one knew what he was thinking now asheactuallystared out the window.The silence was interrupted with a knock on the door.Vince said nothing when it opened on its own and his Auntie showed up.“Hey,” Ma'am Jacky smiled at him.Vince didn't say a word but weakly smiled back at her as his reply.“Sorry it took a while,” Ma'am Jacky said and went inside the dark room.But someone came in next.She closed the door and didn't even turn on the light of the room… because there was no light bulb either.She positioned herself in front of the two with her arms crossed on her chest.“So, are you two ready?”Ma'am Safira asked seriously.Ma'am Jacky and Vince looked at ea

~~~Mr Victorino is inside his room having his coffee when there is a knock on the door.“Come in,” he commanded and it opened.Mr. Victorino was surprised at whoentered but he immediately smirked.“Wow. You're early Jacquilyn,” Sanjiro said.“I always keep my word, Sajiro,” said Ma'am Jacky.Sanjiro let out a sigh.“There you are again.”Jacky just answered him by rolling her eyes.“So, where is my nephew now?”she asked.“Hmm, actually—”Knock, knock.Sanjiro didn't finish what he was going to say because of the knocking.The two looked at the door because of that.“Sire,” Cliffton called.“Yes Cliffton?”Mr. Victorino replied.“Your son went atthe basement,” Cliffton replied.“Oh great timing,” Sanjiro finished his coffee a

Jacky looked back at Sanjiro.There was silence again before it was broken by, “I understand,” Jacky said.“But didn't you at least even think about how Vince feels towards the beast?” “Ugh,” Sanjiro commented immediately.“Feelings? How could you possibly say that my son has feelings for that animal? My son knows that that beast killed his mother and I know he will kill that beast in his anger.” “But what if that beast didn't actually kill Ate Victoria?”Jacky asked. “Oh come on Jacquilyn,” Sanjiro retorted.“Why are you siding with the beast? Do you know that creature?” “Yes,” Jacky replied.“And I know, beast or not, Xania will never do that.” Sanjiro was shocked.”Xania? Where the f*ck did you even get that name?” “It's the beast's name,” a voice interrupted so the two looked at the speaker.The two were surprised to the one who is standing now in front of the door. “

Chapter 25After Ma'am Jacky contacted Vince's three friends, she’s now riding in a taxi telling him an address in Barangay Tres that the driver didn’t know. So with that,Ma'am Jackyjustpointedthe way there.They were on a dark road but Ma'am Jacky immediately noticed a black car parked.“Wait, stop,”Ma'amorderedimmediately and the taxi stopped.“You can drop me here Manong,” Ma'am said as she took the money from her wallet and gave it to the taxi driver.“Just keep the change,” as she got out of the taxi.When the taxi left, she turned on a flashlight on her cellphone to see the road.It was good and she still remembered the way here.Arriving at the end of the forest, she immediately saw the large building uphill.There was no hesitation that she went there immediately and didn’t even mind the men surrounding and

“Ma’am,” tawag bigla ng isang tao na nakasira ng katahimikan sabay napatingin ang dalawa sa kanya.“Geoffrey,” sabi ni Axton.“Ma’am, gising na po si Xania,” sabi ni Geoffrey.Nagulat ang dalawa at napatingin muna sa isa’t isa, bago nila naisipang tatlo na sabay bumalik sa clinic.Pagkarating nila, andoon pa rin si Yune, Iris, Lizar, Willow at Oriana habang nakahiga naman sa kama si Xania, nakabukas na ang mga mata at iniglapan lang ang tatlo bago umiwas ng tingin. Napabuntong hininga naman si Ma’am at napatingin sa iba.“Maaari niyo ba kaming iwanan muna ni Xania?” pakiusap naman ni Ma’am, at kanya-kanya rin sila ng sagot na “Sige po” o di kaya “Masusunod po”.Pagkalabas nga nila, tumingin muli si Ma’am Safira kay Xania pero nakaiwas pa rin siya ng tingin sa kanya. Kumuha naman ng upuan si Ma’am Safira at tinabi ito sa kama at u

Pagkalabas ni Ma’am, nakarating siya sa baybay ng dagat dahil sa malapit lang ang clinic na iyon sa dagat. Ngayon, dahil sa wala naman nang makakakita, umukit ang awa at pighati sa mukha ni Ma’am Safira. Alalang-alala niya ang mukhang pinakita ni Xania habang dumadaloy ang luha sa mukha niya… mas lalo na nang maalala niya ang gabing iyon...No one actually knew that Safira was able to follow Jacky papunta sa building kung saan ang organisasyon ni Mr. Victorino. Using her wings, she followed Jacky through the sky.Nahirapan siyang makapasok dahil sa dami ng taong nakabantay kaya isa-isa niya itong pinatumba para mawalan sila ng malay. She's using her tails sa bawat taong nakakakita sa kanya na pumapasok sa building nung mga oras na iyon at sinisigurado na tuwing nawawalan sila ng malay, hindi nila maaalala na nakita nila siya.Gamit ng extended ears sa kanyang ulo as one of her tails, rinig niya kung saan nga nakakulong si

Sa isang madilim na kwarto, na tanging liwanag lang ng buwan na nanggagaling sa isang bintana ang umiilaw sa kwartong iyon, Vince is standing by the window staring out in the open like he's waiting for something. Walang nakakaalam ng iniisip niya ngayon habang nakatanaw nga siya ng malayo sa labas ng bintana.Naudlot na lang ang katahimikang iyon nang may kumatok sa pinto. Wala pang sinasabi si Vince nang bumukas ito ng mag-isa at nagpakita ang Auntie niya."Hey," ngiting bati sa kanya ni Ma'am Jacky.Hindi umimik si Vince but weakly smiled back at her as his reply."Sorry it took a while," sabi ni Ma'am Jacky at pumasok sa loob ng madilim na kwarto.Pero may sumunod na pumasok din. Siya ang nagsara ng pinto at hindi man lang binukas ang ilaw ng kwarto… dahil wala rin naman itong ilaw. Pinosisyon niya ang sarili niya sa harap ng dalawa with her arms crossed on her chest."So, handa na ba kayong dalawa?" seryosong tanong ni Ma'am Safir

~~~Xania is sitting on the floor habang nasa loob siya ng kulungan at hindi maitanggal ang pag-aalala sa mukha niya, ngayong alam na ni Vince kung sino siya. Maalala niya lang ang mukha niya nang makita niya siya nung alas dyes ng gabing iyon, panigurado litong-lito iyon, at hindi na alam ni Xania kung ano ang iniisip niya pagkatapos.Makakapagpaliwanag pa ba siya? O talagang kinamumuhian na siya ng lalaking iyon sa puntong pag papasok ang lalaking yun ngayon sa kwartong ito, papatayin niya siya agad?Naudlot na lang ang pag-iisip na iyon nang bumukas bigla ang pinto, at may pumasok na tao. Nagulat siya kung sino dahil kanina lang, pinag-iisipan niya siya.Naglakad siya papalapit sa kanya at tumigil mga ilang metro mula sa kulungan niya. Seryoso ang kanyang mga titig pabalik sa kanya at tumingin sila mata sa mata. Naglabas bigla ng isang baril si Vince mula sa kanyang likod na kinagulat ni Xania, pero imbis na siya ang tutukan, tinutok niya ito sa katabi

Jacky looked back at Sanjiro. Pumagitna muli ang katahimikan bago nabasag naman ito ni,"Naintindihan ko," sabi ni Jacky. "Pero hindi mo man lang ba naisip yung nararamdaman ni Vince towards the beast?""Ugh," komento agad ni Sanjiro. "Feelings? How could you possibly say na may nararamdaman ang anak ko sa hayop na iyon? Alam ng anak ko na ang beast na iyon ang pumatay sa ina niya and I know he will kill that beast in his anger.""But what if that beast didn't actually killed Ate Victoria?" tanong naman ni Jacky."O come on Jacquilyn," Sanjiro retorted. "Why are you siding with the beast? Alam mo ba ang nilalang na iyon?""Yes," sagot naman ni Jacky. "And I know, beast or not, Xania will never do that."Nagulat si Sanjiro. "Xania? Where the f*ck did you even get that name?""It's the beast's name," singit naman ng isang boses kaya napatingin ang dalawa sa nagsalita. Nagulat ang dalawa sa nakatayo ngayon sa harap ng pinto."Vinc

Chapter 25Pagkatapos ma-contact ni Ma'am Jacky ang tatlong kabarkada ni Vince, nakasakay siya ngayon sa isang taxi telling him an address in Barangay Tres na hindi alam ng driver. So with that, tinuro na lang ni Ma'am Jacky ang daan papunta doon.Nasa madilim silang kalsada pero napansin agad ni Ma'am Jacky ang isang itim na kotse na naka-park."Sandali, hinto," utos agad ni Ma'am at huminto nga ang taxi."Dito na lang po Manong," sabi ni Ma'am habang kumukuha ng pera sa wallet at binigay sa taxi driver. "Keep the change na lang," sabay bumaba siya ng taxi.Nang makaalis na ang taxi, saka siya nagpa-ilaw ng flashlight sa kanyang cellphone para makita ang daan. Mabuti nga at naalala niya pa ang daan dito.Pagkarating sa end ng gubat, kita niya agad ang malaking building uphill. Walang sabi-sabi na pumunta siya agad doon and didn't even mind the men surrounding at pumasok mismo sa harap ng gate. May dalawang lalaki in black suit and sunglasse
