CHAPTER 60LEIGHTON WAJEEEH'That school... that LSA really did this!''Sila ang nasa likod ng mass suicide kanina. Kailangan mong iwasan ang tinatawag nilang eye piece.''Join our saint, join our saint...''Another Leonard's family! Sahara Kim and Nikolina Eun-ji Kim-Villaluz!'I REPEATEDLY shook my head because of the voices and scenes that keeps flashing into my mind. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nangyari. My eyes still close and all I could feel is the softness sheet behind my back.'Wait, you forgot to introduce me! I am also a Villaluz! Also a son of Leonard Villaluz! I am Blaze Villaluz! And I am here to kill all of you!''Leigh is not Leonard's son. He's not a Villaluz. Anak naming siya ni Fred. K-Kaya huwag mo siyang idamay dito...' 'I am Zhavira. S-Sorry, L-Leigh... for everything...''Die!''Leigh, anak. Kapit ka lang nang m-mahigpit.' And the next scene happened went black.Napabalikwas agad ako sa pagkahiga dahil sa mga naalala ko. Sumakit ang ulo ko at napatulala ako sa
CHAPTER 61THIRD PERSONEONKIE, as what Eun-ji stated, is a group of four assassins. But people, who have known that name around Asia, thought that it is a name for a single heartless and frightful assassin roaming around the continent to hunt its prey.They called them heartless and frightful assassins because they believe EONKIE targets random people in a gruesome way. As their signature, they always cut the victim's manhood and hang around near its dead body.Nikolina Eun-ji Kim of South Korea, the knight of EONKIE and sword is her technical expertise. Kiera Lee of Japan, the crowd control specialized in lashing a whip.Lice Nekath Zy of Thailand, the marksman of the group trained to master shurikens, a weapon in the form of a star with projecting four blades.And the pride of China, Oharra Zen Gu, known as the dasher for her excellence skill in manipulating dual blades.Together, they made EONKIE.It was horrifying to all men thinking that someday EONKIE will also come to them an
CHAPTER 62DOSNAPATITIG MUNA ako sa babae matapos niyang sabihin iyon. She showed us two green flash drives that I couldn't distinguish what type of flash drives these are. "Well, you don't have any choice but to trust me." I just answered her. I knew it's really surprising that I suddenly changed my course. They knew me as one of Blaze's right hands---or, should I say, minions. Yeah, minions. Noong oras na kinalaban ko ang lalaking si Ashley sa Questas Forest---ang gabi kung saan muntik ko nang mapatay sina Yuna at Harry, Ashley spared my life. I was struggling that night and when I acted to run away from him, he just let me. Hindi niya ako hinabol para patayin. And the next thing I saw was Blaze just easily shot Khora. I was so shocked that time. Khora was important to me because we've been friends and partners-in-crime ever since. And starting that night, I just realized one thing. Napagtanto ko na maybe, he didn't really considered us family. And time comes, gagawin niya rin
CHAPTER 63-3-"Alright, we're in!"YUNA'S FACE brightened when suddenly, a green circle pops out from her Cabinet's hologram. That small green circle scatters around the entire screen until a couple of word appeared.'Stealing Access...'After that, a series of dots moves below those words, an indication that the software is trying to do its job to have a complete access.Just like her, Leighton's face was painted with a curve on his lips. It was burst with an excitement and a taste of victory, especially when the loading succeed.The first couple of word vanished and it was replaced by another two words.'Access Complete!'Yuna was fetched by black screen with different codes running upward through her screen. She then manipulated a few touches and later a grid of different areas shows. Those are the access of the base's surveillance cameras. Such as the lobbies, operating rooms, and other protected areas. "Phase one is done, I just hope the rest will go well."Yuna swiped that scr
CHAPTER 64-3-"WAIT, I think I can deactivate the nano virus."Done with some manipulations, the VB has already dominated the entire system. It wasn't tracked down since it has the same identity as nano virus, but still loyal to its purpose, to stop the spreading.But somehow, with the same identity as the nano virus, Yuna found an opportunity to take advantage of it so that it can deactivate the nano virus. And that is by letting those nano virus copy what the VB orders.To illustrate this, since the VB has a form of a nano virus, the nano virus will think it as the same as them, so it might somehow follow what it does. Hence, if the VB self-destruct, the nano virus might follow its destruction that would surely stop the nano manipulation in human brain. In a nutshell, Yuna can control the nano virus, can even deactivate them.But that is just theoretical. It is not a hundred percent sure that those nano virus would follow."It is... quite sacrificial.

From tough, everything will be just alright. From sorrow, it will turn into joy. From cry to laughter.And from worst, chaotic, and messy situation changed into peaceful and back to the usual one. "Leigh, let's go." I am in front of the mirror, fixing the collar of my jacket when I heard a voice in front of the door of my bedroom. Tumingin ako sa kaniya at ginawaran siya ng napakatamis na ngiti. "How do I look, mom?" I asked her. That's my mom right there. The one and only Sabrina Estrella-Hedalgo."Good as always, anak." sabi niya matapos niyang tingnan ang kabuuan ko. I just responded with chuckle while walking closer to her. Inakbayan ko na lamang si mommy at saka pumunta na lamang kami sa labas para mag-abang ng masasakyan. It's been a year since the worst scenario ended. That night,
PROLOGUE-3-"YOU KNOW why I wanted to end someone's life in a place like this?" saad ng isang lalaki.They were at the end part of the Questas forest. On the other side from where they are, makikita ang mga taong nagkagulo. They were fighting for their lives.The man pointed his gun towards the man who's few inches away from the cliff. "Kasi gusto ko kayong makitang magdusa. I'll shoot your head then I'll push you off the cliff. That's very satisfying to see," he continued, grinning to the man. "If you've got anything to say, before anything else, now's the time, Leighton Wajeeh."Tiningnan siya ni Leighton sa mata. "Kahit anong gawin n'yo, hindi magwawagi ang kasamaan!" he said firmly, trying not to stutter.Then the man chuckled. "Iyan lang ang gusto mong sabihin? What an empty ultimatum. Linyahan ng mga bidang namamatay sa huli."Leighton just clenched his fist."Well, I'll tell you now," The man speaks again. "Any minutes from now, dahan-dahan na naming makokontrol ang Santa Luna
CHAPTER 1LEIGHTON WAJEEHNAPASINGHAP ANG lahat nung biglang sumigaw si Eun-ji. Both Yuna and I just shook our heads at hindi ko mapigilang mapa-face palm.Eun-ji looked at us. "Oops! Sorry." she said, letting out a peace sign after she covered her mouth."Tss..."Pati ang mga pulis sa loob ng bahay ay napatingin sa gawi namin.Wonder what happened?Well, minutes ago before that, I was inside the school's cafeteria, enjoying my lunch. Walang masyadong tao kasi Wednesday, and by Wednesday, pinapayagan ang mga students na lumabas ng paaralan. It's the only day of the week na pwedeng lumabas ang mga estudyante during lunch."It's so good!""Tss."Napatingin ako sa gawi ng mga nagsalita. Yeah, at hindi pala ako mag-isa. It's been how many weeks since the first day of class started. I tried to get rid of them kasi gusto kong kumuha ng mga posibleng lead sa kaso ng daddy ko.However, I stopped because the aura of the school seems to be too innocent. From the head of the school, to the facul

CHAPTER 59-3-HINDI ALAM ni Leighton kung ano ang sasabihin niya. He looked daze, yet he responded to Eun-ji's hug. As Eun-ji broke the hug, agad niyang pinahiran ang kaniyang luha and gave him a smile. "Welcome back." she muttered.Pagkatapos ay pumasok na sila sa loob ang isinara ang pintuan. Dim surroundings welcome Leighton's eyes. They did not turn the lights on because they worry that it would catch attention of the Nanos. They just used lamps and candles, enough for them to see the surroundings, their faces.Eun-ji guided Leighton to sit on the couch while Sahara just stood first beside him."Oh, finally, tita Sahara. You're here already---"Mula sa kaniyang kwarto, lumabas si Yuna. Napatigil siya sa kaniyang pagsasalita nung nakita niya ang taong nakaupo sa couch, kaharap ni Eun-ji."L-Leigh?!" she muttered in shock and surprise. Gaya ni Eun-ji, her tears automatically flooded. "Oh, my god..."Agad siyang pumunta sa direksiyon ni Leighton and just like what Eun-ji did, she h
CHAPTER 58SAHARA KIMHONESTLY, I'M glad that my people found him. That they found Leigh. Few years ago we already had given up in finding him, not because we just concluded that he's dead but because it was difficult to do so. The moment Ashley told us that he's alive, I immediately made up my mind to check on him there even though it's really hard to leave Santa Luna. Whenever you went outside your house, those Nanos immediately attack you. Yeah, Nanos---that's what they called them, might as well used that term.Anyway, those Nanos seemed very hungry to kill those normal ones, including us. Their minds have been corrupted and controlled. I know for sure that one day will come that they could dominate the whole place, or worse, the whole world. And that is what we needed to stop. However, I admit that my plan went vague and vague as time passes by.I sometimes left Santa Luna to see Leighton. To see how he is; if he's still doing good. However, every time that I went to where he w
CHAPTER 57-3-Two years ago...SA ISANG lugar na puno ng mga taong nagkakasiyahan ay napalitan ng katahimikan at takot. Mangilan-ngilan na lamang ang lumalabas. "A-Anak..." a woman whimpers. Nakatingin siya sa isang batang lalaki na ngayon ay marahang lumalapit sa kaniya."M-Mom... I d-don't know Jexler is already infected..." the boy suddenly cried. 'Yong mga mata niya ay kahit saan na tumitingin. "Hinipan niya ako bigla sa mata at bigla siyang umalis. M-Mom, h-help me. I d-don't want to be like them."Napaluhod na lamang ang babae. Her hands trembles as she looked at her 13-year old son. Agad na lamang siyang napalapit sa kaniyang anak at niyakap ito nang mahigpit. "I t-told you to just stay in our garden..." she whispered with a sob. Pagkatapos ay sinapo niya ang mukha ng bata. "D-Don't worry, everything's gonna be alright." After that, biglang napahawak sa ulo ang bata at ilang saglit pa, bigla itong napatingin sa kaniyang ina. In just a snap, bigla niyang sinugod ang babae.A
