Gregorio carefully closed the door of his bedroom, he immediately approached the black cabinet. The painting was pinned to his right armpit, while with his left hand he carefully opened the cabinet.
"I have a new offering to you, my lord." Gregorio presented the painting he was holding in front of the statue of satan.
Horrible growls could be heard inside the artist's room. The black force seemed pleased with his offering.
Gregorio offered a prayer for his master, he even kissed the feet of the statue of satan. When he finished praying he took a small box with the year 2019 written on it, the artist opened it and placed the paintbrush Maureen used.
Gregorio returned the small box to the foot of the statue, carefully placing the new painting on top of the paintings that were there.
"Goodbye Maureen, welcome to your new world!" Gregorio said smiling and he laughed out loud, a sign of his victory!
The artist again offered a prayer to his master befor
"All right, just don't spend too much time in the bathroom because I have diarrhea," Maggie replied."I have to take a bath first and the bathroom might smell of dead rats." She joked with Maggie."Oh, don't be like that. No poop smells good.She laughed, Alyssa left her friend, she went into the bathroom to take a shower."You're beautiful!" Maggie said to herself as she tried to look cute in front of the mirror, she combed her long hair and sang.Shine, shine upon the Philippines oh lord.Let your righteousness be known everywhere we go.Your kingdom is...Maggie stopped singing when she noticed in the reflection of the mirror the painting hanging on the wall.Maggie looked at the painting. She noticed something strange in the painting, even though she didn't always look at it but there seemed to be something strange. She stopped combing her hair, she stood up and approached the painting hanging on the wall.Mag
"Yes, I'm done taking a bath," Maggie replied. She went to the cabinet and got something to wear."I guess you just sprayed water." She was joking with her friend so that somehow, they would feel better."It doesn't matter friend, I'll just take a bath with perfume so I can still smell fresh." She answered while getting dressed. "What are you planning now?""I don't know yet, help me explain to them." Alyssa was referring to the three other fellow students."We'll have a hard time convincing them," Maggie replied."That's exactly what I was thinking," she admitted.They stood side by side in front of the mirror, combed their hair for a while, and decided to leave the room as well.7:30 in the morning at the dinner table."Oh, where's Maureen?" Gregorio pretended to ask the students. He sipped hot coffee.Alyssa and Maggie looked at each other, they both didn't want to talk. They thought that Charlotte and Maureen might be fightin
BUT unbeknownst to Alyssa there were running questions in Gregorio's mind. He stared at her intently.Could it be that she already knows something about his secret? he just couldn't notice. Gregorio leaned back in the swivel chair he was sitting on.If his suspicion of Alyssa is true, he needs to finish what he started. They can't go back to their place, he'll make sure this week doesn't end until he has trapped them in the painting."Sir, can I go down? I have to use the bathroom," it was Charlotte."Sure, Charlotte," Gregorio replied.Charlotte stood up quickly. She adjusted the slightly raised jeans she was wearing."I'll just go down, guys," Charlotte said goodbye to her fellow students."Okay," the three agreed.Charlotte came out of that room quickly. She was on her way to their bedroom when she saw Aling Iseng who was carrying a black trash bag. It looked like she was still able to control herself to pee so she thought of helpin
"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
"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
"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
"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
"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.
Alyssa struggled. She couldn't breathe.Blagh!The fire was blazing in the hole. Gregorio released the woman.Gregorio felt his whole body heat up. He backed away from the woman while touching different parts of his body.Carlos immediately helped Alyssa, raising her head."Alyssa!" Maggie called to her friend. She knelt next to her. "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. He opened her mouth and gave her mouth to mouth, resuscitation to allow air to enter his heart.Alyssa sighed as if she was chasing her breath.Carlos quickly lifted Alyss's head. Maggie prayed thanks to the lord when she saw that Carlos had revived her friend."Maggie..." Alyssa called softly to her friend. She is crying.
"HE was outside the mansion. Your friends were also there to stop Sir Gregorio from burning the painting that imprisoned you.Alyssa was happy with what she found out. 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. She chased the butterfly to catch it.Alyssa stopped running when she noticed a long white bench not far from her. She remembered this. Now she was positive that she was in her dream again.She stopped chasing the butterfly and walked in t
"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?!"
