"THE barangay captain of San Victoria, he said, the bridge that connects the road to here, and to the other side of town was cut." Gregorio lied to them.

"What do you mean Sir?" Carlos immediately asked the artist who was obviously nervous because he remembered his friend Noel and even the caretaker, Mang Nestor.

The students exchanged glances.

"How are Noel and Mang Nestor?" Alyssa asked the artist and held her friend Maggie's hand tightly.

"Don't worry guys, they're fine." Gregorio smiled in response to them, as he still had many lies already formed in his mind.

"Thank God!" said the students. They even signed the cross which secretly annoyed the artist.

"People who are stranded and unable to cross are in the municipality. Among them are Mang Nestor and Noel," in addition to what he said and sat on the sofa in front of the students. "When the rain stops I'll try to go to the other town to catch up."

Maggie asked the old woman.The old woman nodded."My name is Iseng, just call me Aling Iseng." Introducing the woman to herself."We're glad to meet Aling Iseng!" Maureen and Charlotte said, almost at the same time.They also introduced themselves one by one to Aling Iseng.The old woman looks kind but Alyssa notices that she always seems to avoid looking. Maybe she's ashamed of them. That's the reason she thinks."Where is Sir?" Aling Iseng asked, referring to the artist."He's in his room, but he told us that you're coming," Alyssa said. "J

    "All right, go upstairs, I'll follow you later. We'll play tongits first, Maureen saw some cards in the room where they were staying,""Can you play tongits?" she asked Maggie. During the time they were together, she had never seen her hold a card."What's the use of Carlos, if he doesn't teach me, hehe,"Carlos scratched his neck, he was ashamed of Alyssa, she might think he was gambling."My Dad and I enjoy playing cards or chess sometimes when I visit him," Carlos confessed. "But I don't gamble," he defended himself."Don't be defensive," Maureen whispered to him."Of course, in order not to break his handsome points to Alyssa." Charlotte also jokes with him."Noel isn't here, so you're bullying me," Carlos said but his eyes were on Alyssa.Alyssa completely avoided Carlos' gaze."All right, I'm going up, enjoy playing cards." Alyssa turned away."I'll just follow you girl!" Maggie said that her eyes were already focused on the cards she was holding.

    "You know?" Charlotte asked in surprise. "You're in the room, aren't you?"Alyssa stopped chewing and quickly thought of an excuse."Yeah," she said. "I was at the window of the room when I saw Sir's car arrive." Alyssa lied.Again Alyssa continued to eat the bread but she was still thinking about what she had discovered in the room and the artist’s secret. She wondered how to begin to say, that she would not look ridiculous to them.She noticed Aling Iseng glancing at them as she sliced ​​the pumpkin, she felt that she might be listening to their conversations. Maybe even the old woman is an accomplice of the artist. She'd better keep the artist's secret to herself first, she'll find the right time to warn her fellow students to beware of him.Gregorio looked carefully inside his room, nothing suspicious happened but he seemed to feel nervous.

"Need help?""Just eat there," Alyssa replied without looking at her friend."I'm going to feed you, it's like you can't lift the spoon you're holding." Maggie was still joking with Alyssa.Alyssa's eyes narrowed at her friend."I think I have a headache," Alyssa admitted. As much as she was thinking, she felt the pain in her head, she was thinking about what she was going to do, how she could warn her colleagues to be careful with the artist."Sip some hot broth, Alyssa," Gregorio said that he had been watching her.Alyssa raised her head and looked slightly at the artist."Yes sir!" She answered sparingly.

Fortunately, she had finished brushing her teeth so her breath smelling fresh.

She was stunned and did not blink her eyes.Maggie noticed Carlos staring at her friend, so she also looked at Alyssa."Hey, Alyssa!'' Maggie called her attention and waved the card she was holding in front of her face. "Is there a problem?""I'm just thinking," she answered gently.Alyssa's butt suddenly lifted when she remembered the earrings she had seen inside the artist's room."It's Noel's earring, isn't it?" Alyssa showed the earring she was holding.Carlos took the earring in her hand and stared at it carefully."Yes, Noel owns it, why do you have this earring?" Carlos asked her.Alyssa didn't answer, she thought carefully about how she would start telling them the artist's secret she had discovered."Alyssa?"

Please understand us, it's not really easy to believe what you said but it doesn't mean we won't believe you anymore," said Carlos as he stepped up the stairs.Carlos glanced at her slightly, he saw that she was just silent as if she didn't want to speak.When they reached the top of the stairs, they also separated to go to their rooms.When they entered the room, Alyssa ran to the bed lay down.Maggie locked the door and then stepped closer to her friend."Friend," Maggie called to Alyssa, she heard her faint sob.

    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.

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 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!"

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!"

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!"

    "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.
