Alyssa was again horrified to see the statue sitting inside the cabinet again. "Why does Sir have that, it's scary!"

"Alyssa helps us, have mercy on us," they begged her.

She looked at Sofia's face. She was sad and her eyes were blurred with tears.

"What do you mean? How can I help you?" she asked them but they did not say a word.

Sofia just handed her the three paintings. At first, she was hesitant to accept the held by Sofia. Alyssa was nervous that the artist might catch up with them and get caught tampering with the paintings.

Alyssa took a deep breath before accepting the painting Sofia was holding, then she suddenly disappeared from her sight. She was surprised when Sofia disappeared in front of her, she could not speak.

"Sofia?"

For a moment Alyssa seemed to feel the surroundings spinning. She felt dizzy so she held on tightly to the painting.

Alyssa sat on the floor while holding the paintings tightly, she closed her eyes to suppress the dizziness she

Maggie said as she continued to shake her friend's shoulder who was still moaning and mentioning Daisy's name.Maggie was nervous when she still didn't wake up her friend, out of fear that she might not wake up at all and thought of slapping her."What are you planning to do?" Alyssa asked her friend as she woke up to see Maggie as if she was going to be slapped.Maggie was surprised when Alyssa spoke, she quickly put down her right hand."I've been trying to wake you up for a while but you didn't wake up, I'm nervous so I planned to slap you," Maggie confessed to her.Alyssa sat up slowly on the bed, she covered her face with her hand. She tried to remember her dream. Alyssa felt Maggie's arm on her shoulder so she turned to look at her."What else did you dream about?" Maggie asked her."I dreamed of Sofia, Miguel, and Daisy. They are asking me for help.""Why?" Maggie asked. "It looks like your dream is we

    "I think Sir had a good sleep," Charlotte commented noticing that the artist was not yet in his seat."Yeah, he's often the first to come here in the kitchen," Noel said.They were just wondering because it was only now that he was late in their conversation to wake up at the right time. He often went to the kitchen first, but now he is not there yet. At the same time, the students looked at the opening of the kitchen when Mang Nestor entered the kitchen."Sir told me, you should have breakfast before him. He will be waiting for you on the third floor." Said Mang Nestor."Is Sir Gregorio sick?" Alyssa asked. She saw the old man shake his head."He's doing something important," the old man answered and he set the table."At that age, you can still do all the tasks here Mang Nestor," said Maggie."My only job here is cooking, every week someone comes here to clean the whole Mansion." The answer of the old man."Is that so," Maggie replied, nodding her head.

    ON the third floor, the students were busy painting the ones they had already drawn. Gregorio, on the other hand, was sitting in his swivel chair watching them carefully. He saw that the students were looking out the window when they heard loud thunder.Suddenly the rain came down, the glass window was closed so the rain could not enter the room."Are you afraid of thunder, do you want me to cover it with a curtain?" Gregorio asked them.The students shook their heads."The rain is a blessing Sir," Noel said with a smile as he focused his eyes on what he was doing, to which his fellow students agreed."All right, continue what you're doing. I'll just leave the room, I just need to ask Mang Nestor to do something.""Go ahead Sir," students answer.Gregorio got up and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he came out without looking at the students.When the artist finally got out of the room, they started making noise."It's good that Sir came o

    THE students left the room one after the other, while Gregorio's gaze followed the two students. He tilted his head and closed the door of the room. He didn't think about what he noticed in them.The Artist followed them down the stairs he could see their happy conversation."Have fun, because your hours are numbered! Gregorio whispered happily in the air. He clenched his fist firmly. He could no longer wait, to have another victim. "Who will I follow them?" he was referring to the students and secretly smiled.AFTER lunch, Alyssa and Maggie went to their room while the others were with them, preferring to hang out in the living room while watching the news."There's a storm today," Noel said while sipping hot coffee.Carlos also sipped his coffee before looking at Noel."That's why it's raining non -stop." Carlos looked back at what he was watching on television. "It's bad, other villages in San Victoria town are flooded.""I

    "IT'S still raining hard and it looks like it's getting a bit flooded outside the gate." She added when she noticed water entering under the gate of the mansion."Eeehhhh!" They shouted when suddenly there was thunder, followed by lightning. They both knelt and laughed as they crawled back into bed."I just hope the storm doesn't last," Maggie said, Alyssa was about to answer when her cellphone suddenly rang on the dresser. She immediately picked it up and answered the call without being able to find out who the caller was."Hello?" Alyssa started."Hija, how are you there in San Victoria?" asked on the other line. It was her mom who called."Is that your mom?" Maggie asked her in a whisper. She nodded, she put her index finger in her mouth signaling to be quiet for a moment."We're fine mom," she replied to her mother."There is a typhoon in that town, do you want me to send our family driver there, to pick you up?" her mother's voice was worried."Don't wor

    GREGORIO secretly rages in anger at his caretaker for not being careful at work."Is that so Sir, that's why Mang Nestor brought Daisy's bag yesterday," Maggie said as if a thorn had been pulled out of her throat.They even thought of some bad things. Then it turned out that it had good intentions. Maggie was suddenly ashamed of herself."I'm sorry Sir," Alyssa apologized.They saw the artist smile at them. "Oh, that's nothing, when you have a problem you can talk to me, don't be shy."They nodded with a smile."Let's go down, maybe your fellow students are waiting for us in the kitchen.""All right, let's go down, we might run out of sopas," said Maggie with a weak laugh.Laughing, Alyssa put her arm around her friend's shoulder. "Let's bet, they haven't started eating yet,""How can you be sure?" Maggie asked her.Alyssa pinched Maggie's right ear. "When do we eat without eating together?"Maggie seemed to think. "Yeah, hehehe!" Maggie chuckl

    I believe when we return to Manila you will be looking for drawing and painting!" Alyssa said positively, as she continued to draw."Maybe!" Maggie replied. "Even though we're busy with our studies, I still have time for drawing and painting. I'm going to be as good as you, girl!" she added."You need to treat me when we return to Manila. Because, if you don't come with me, you won't know that you have other hidden talents." Alyssa heard her friend's loud laugh."I'm always the one who treats you every time we go out,"She laughed at what her friend said. It's true what Maggie said, she was the one who always gave her free food.Maggie is the one who often goes out for food trips when they have extra time after class."Because you're the one who likes to eat," she joked. She looked at Maggie she saw one of her eyebrows rise."All you have to say is you're just stingy," retorted Maggie. "Even twenty-five cents in exchange, you'll still get it." Maggie was joking.

    GREGORIO gave each one a candle.The students moaned in frustration."Tomorrow morning I will send Mang Nestor to town to buy more gas to use in the generator," Gregorio added."I'll just go with Mang Nestor tomorrow Sir," Noel suggested looking at the caretaker.Gregorio turned his head to the young man, who was secretly celebrating."Maybe you can buy some junk food tomorrow, Noel?" Maggie asked him."Sure!" Noel answered. "Can I go with Mang Nestor tomorrow, Sir?" He asked the artist again who seemed to be silent for a moment."Are you sure?" Gregorio asked the young man as he played with his fingers. He already knew who his fourth victim would be."Yes, Sir!" Noel answered quickly."All right, go with Mang Nestor tomorrow morning.""Yahoo!" Noel said cheerfully, and he asked his fellow students what else they wanted to buy."Just buy junk foods," they replied."Okay, noted guys!""Mang Nestor, you can rest now.

"Carlos, Alyssa isn't moving anymore!" Crying, Maggie said and shook her unconscious friend's shoulder."Alyssa, open your eyes!'' Carlos cried. He touched her wrist. He felt her heart beating weakly. "Her heart is still beating!" He quickly laid her on the ground.

She was thankful to god that the two were safe."Aling Iseng, I need the key to Sir Gregorio's bedroom."The old woman, quickly reached into her pocket and handed a bunch of keys to her.Alyssa quickly reached for the keys. She forgot to ask the old woman which of those keys was for the artist’s bedroom.Alyssa almost ran up the stairs to reach the artist's bedroom.Aling Iseng's gaze just followed Alyssa with her back turned. She quickly walked away from the stairs to hide."Which of these keys is for his bedroom?" she whispered in disgust. She had already tried five keys, but the bedroom door, had not yet been opened. She tried again.Click! Alyssa heard the sound of the doorknob. She push the door.Alyssa hurried into the bedroom. She picked up th

    Alyssa held her head, trying to remember why she was in that place again. She didn't remember anything. Maybe she was dreaming again.Alyssa was about to take a step when her body was out of balance. She fell on the grass."Ouch, it hurts!" Alyssa said softly. She got up quickly. She looked down and saw a rope tied to her feet.What could have happened to me? Why are my feet tied?She sat down on the grass. She quickly removed the rope tied to her feet. She stood up again, took a deep breath before starting to step.Alyssa took a walk, looking around. The surroundings were beautiful. If she wasn't mistaken, she was in a paradise!Alyssa noticed a colorful butterfly flying back and forth at her.

    "Don't!" Alyssa stopped the artist. She covered her mouth with her hand while crying. "Have mercy, Sir, leave my friend alone. I'll do what you want!" she quickly wrote her full name and signed it.Alyssa slipped the paintbrush into the pocket of her denim shorts in the back."You make a drama scene before you do what I ask you to do!" The artist said happily and left Maggie lying down. He hid the gun.Alyssa felt dizzy, held her hands to her forehead."Aaaaahhh!" Alyssa growled. She didn't notice the transformation of the painting because her eyes were tightly closed.Even though her stomach hurt, Maggie still insisted on sitting down. Her eyes widened as she looked at the painting.What is that? Maggie asked herself terribly."Alyssa!"Alyssa heard Carlos calling her name, but she couldn't look at him because she felt the whole area was spinning."Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!" Gregorio laughed when he saw that the hole in the mid

    "What are you waiting for?!" Gregorio yelled at the woman.Charlotte moved quickly, her hand shaking as she began to paint the woman's hair in the painting."Heck, the outcome of your painting must be beautiful!" In anger, he pulled Charlotte's hair."Ouch! It hurts!" Charlotte moaned in tears. She quickly grabbed the artist's hand that was tightly gripping her hair."Hurry up, don't slow down!" He said and violently let go of her hair.Her face almost gnawed at the painting.Charlotte quickly wiped the tears from her eyes, using her fingers. Charlotte painted again, she forced herself to calm down, and maybe if she made a mistake, the artist might hurt her again."Write your name and sign it!" Gregorio commanded the woman when he saw she was done painting.Charlotte quickly followed. She didn't even think of a reason why she had to do it."WHAT IS HAPPENING?" Maggie asked when she heard Charlotte's scream.

    "Don't worry Alyssa, they're with you!" Gregorio replied, violently letting go of Alyssa's hair."What are you going to do with us?" Alyssa asked even though she already had a feeling that the artist was planning something bad for them."As you guessed, Alyssa!" Gregorio shouted. "I'm smarter than you! If you all think you can escape what's destined to happen to you, you're wrong!" He added and sat down on the sofa again.Gregorio looked at the three students, they were moaning."I don't see anything. Alyssa, where are you?!" Maggie moved her hands, she felt something tightly tied around her hands. "What's going on, what does it mean?""Maggie, I'm here," Alyssa replied, but she couldn't move because her legs were also tied."Charlotte, Carlos?" she called two other fellow students."I'm here Alyssa!" Carlos replied when he heard her voice."What's happening?" Charlotte couldn't help but cry when she realized her hands and

    "Hmmm... I'm sorry Sir, we're just worried about Maureen. We haven't seen her yet," that was what Alyssa thought was a good reason to see what the artist’s reaction would be."Let's eat first. Later, we'll work together to find Maureen. I'm sure she's just here at the mansion." Said the artist.Alyssa was disappointed in what she expected to be the artist’s reaction, she couldn’t see in his face that he was just lying.The four students kept their mouths shut, afraid to speak."Aling Iseng, please put their bowls of the pork stew you cooked," Gregorio gently ordered the old woman.Aling Iseng quickly complied. She took the casserole with pork stewed, placed it on the table. She took the students' bowls and put soups and some pieces of meat and vegetables."Thank you Aling Iseng, ' the students said politely as they handed over their bowls.Aling Iseng also sat in the chair next to the artist, but she also stood up qu

    "Tell me, why those cellphones are in Sir Gregorio's trash bag?" Alyssa asked. They were speechless. "I feel like something bad happened to them," Charlotte admitted. "Earlier, I opened Daisy's cellphone, I read her older brother's message, and it looks like Daisy didn't come home to them." "How can you say that?" Carlos asked. He still couldn't believe that the artist could do bad things. From what he showed them, you could tell he was really kind and he took care of them with food. "I read in Daisy's older brother's message that he was asking when she would return to Manila, which means Daisy didn't leave the mansion. She didn't go home to them, her family was very worried about her." Charlotte replied. Carlos sighed and looked at Alyssa. If it was true that she saw herself as the next victim of the artist, he would not agree. He had to protect the woman he loved, he would do everything he could, just don't let her get hurt. "I find

    "Yes Sir, just a finishing touch!" Carlos answered."Very good!"A few more hours passed and the four finished painting almost at the same time.Gregorio stood up to look at their painting. He looked at Carlos first.“Beautiful,” said the artist. Carlos’s masterpiece is buildings, it's beautifully colored.The next thing he looked at was Maggie's painting."Even if you don't like drawing and painting, but you've still made a beautiful masterpiece." Gregorio praises Maggie. The ocean is the one she painted, there is a boat in the middle of the sea."Thank you, Sir," Maggie was pleased with that compliment to her by the artist.Next, he looked at Alyssa's painting. It was a stream and there were three women doing laundry, their faces looked happy."Wow, I can say that you are already a great artist Alyssa." He smiled proudly at Alyssa. He held out his right hand to shake hands with her.Alyssa hesi
