I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE: Everything
SERRA “Serra...” someone grabbed my hand. I stood frozen. The corners of my lips curled a smile. I excitedly turned my head and faced him. My lips contracted erasing my smile seeing Xyrus. I was expecting someone else, someone else I don’t even know. “I just want to say thank you for saving me the other day despite how bad I treated you.” He stared at my eyes with a smile curved on his lips. I gave him a sturdy look. “Worst.” I corrected him. He looked away and said he was sorry in a soft voice. “Go out with me, Serra.” That was an out of the blue remark that took me by surprise. He looked away again. Red crept his cheeks. He ran his fingers through his hair. That gesture of him replayed in my mind nonstop. The short strands of his hair covering his forehead ran smoothly upward up to the back of his head. His long brown mapple hair bounced above his shoulder. “Serra?” Xyrus called. His black hair leaned to his right. Sadness fell over me. I was seeing someone else. My heart sud

“Grey Preston...” I lifted my head to see who mumbled my lover’s name. It was Amara. I removed my piled books from the space beside me and placed them on the table. I tapped the bench motioning her to seat beside me. “That mysterious guy again?” She shook her head. “Is he even real?” She put her bag on the table and handed me a bag of snacks. “So, how’s the baby?” I ran my hand over her bulging tummy and talked to the life inside. “The baby’s fine and if you’d ask, I’m fine as well.” She rolled her eyes to the back of her head. “How about Lulu?” I grabbed a different colored pen and started scribbling random stuffs around Grip’s name that I doodled. “Can I see his face again?” Amara pointed at Grip’s name using her lips. I flipped my sketchpad and showed her my artworks. I drew his face in every scene I could remember. I first showed her my art work of Grip when we met each other for the first time, on the pathwalk, under the mapple tree. “Is he some kind of fictional character

“She’s not answering her phone!” Mandy complained the nth time raffling her hair in annoyance. “It’s because she’s dead,” Amanda said bluntly. “S-She can’t be dead.” Amara sobbed and buried her face on my shoulder. I felt terribly useless. I risked my life just to save others who doesn’t even treat me as human but I haven’t done anything to save a friend, to save Lulu. I clenched my fist. I’ve never thought I could be more useless than before. I was busy with my pain that I wasn’t able to eye her. I shouldn’t have acted careless. “If only I didn’t got carried away with my emotions, with my thoughts. This wouldn’t have happened. Lulu should have been still here with us, talking, laughing,” I angled my head downward. “This is all my fault...” I whispered. “Serra...” Amara gaped my chin and placed her hands against my cheeks. “This wasn’t your fault, none of these. Never be apologetic, Serra. You’ve done more than anyone could.” She wiped away my tears. “You could have your busy days

“K-Kate...” I said under my audible breath. She smelt awfully damp. Her sloughing skin wrinkled and was icy pale. Her lips were chapped and purpled. Her brow angled ferociously framing her glaring eyes. The corner of her lips elongated a smile up to her ears. The skin over her lips created visible cracks due to the movement when she grinned. Her body snappily turned to me and her hands pressed tightly against my throat. She was laughing in satisfaction with pursed smiling lips. “K-Kate...” I groaned and wrapped my hands around her wrist. I tried pulling it away but my hand kept on slipping off her slimmy rotten flesh. I held in her arms putting all my weight and kicked her chest as hard as I could. Her arm snapped off her body that floats on the surface meters away. Her body sinked but her hand kept intact on my neck. I grabbed her fingers twisting them off my throat and threw her pair of hands away. Both landed on the tiles out of the pool area. I turned around when I felt someone

“That’s absurd!” Mandy walked back and forth of their room. I was getting dizzy with what she was doing. Amara just sat beside Kate who is apparently Lulu at the moment. The latter kept quiet since we left the pool area. Amanda wanted to stay and make sure I was okay but she was called by Mr. Garzon and it seemed urgent. After a few minutes, dad came running to check on me. He even suspended the entire school activities to make sure I was okay and won’t worry skipping one. “Let’s calm her down first.” Amara suggested pulling Lulu closer and placed her head over her shoulder. “She needs that. She looked anxious,” Mandy agreed but still kept on walking in front of us. “We all are–” I pointed at Mandy “–and we can’t calm down with a sight of you striding back and forth.” I swiped my finger on the air pointing to the chair next to the bed. After a moment of silence, Lulu was the one who broke it with a sigh. She curled her knees and put her chin over it. She pushed her index finger up

I knocked on Lulu’s door or basically Kate’s room but I got no response. I was about to leave but I heard loud whispers from the inside. There were like two people arguing inside the room. I quirked a brow. Mandy told me that she will accompany Amara today for her prenatal check-up and they just left. There’s no way Dorothy could sneak in. Amanda has a photoshoot out of school either so she couldn’t be here. “Lulu?” I called but still got no response. I twisted the knob and the door wasn’t locked. I slowly opened the door and went inside of the room. I found her standing at the corner facing the wall. She was mumbling inaudible words furiously as though she was arguing with someone. “Lulu?” I called one more time but she didn’t look like she heard me. She brought her hands to the sides of her head and covered her ears. “Shut up... shut up... shut up!” “Lulu, what’s wrong?” I approached her. “Ahh!” she screamed still covering her ears. I swiftly recoiled my hand in shock. “No! Th
Last Updated : 2022-01-16I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX: Dorothy
Dorothy was sitting in the middle of the dark room, unconscious. Lulu moved closer and hid behind me but her eyes were still peeking over my shoulder. She was hooked despite the fear that was consuming her. Mandy did the same to my other side. Amara wrapped her arms around mine and squeezed herself to me. Amanda did the same to my opposite side. I was like their human blanket or pillow they use every time they watch a horror movie. They all pressed against me more when Dorothy moved. She was awake. She looked around in total confusion. She ran around banging the walls and doors looking for possible exits. The camera was a pair of eyes following her movement and she didn’t seem to notice it. She stayed paranoid while trying to break free. In this type of situation, you have to keep calm in order to think right. In her case, she was like scooping a broth with a fork. “Dorothy...” a voice behind the camera called. It was sweet and playful yet creepy. It gave me goosebumps all over. S

“That was like a scene in a horror movie.” Mandy brushed her palms against her arms to get rid of the goosebumps. “A movie based on a true to life story,” Amara added. “W-Why did we watch it?” Lulu hugged her knees. “Yeah, why?” Amanda asked confused. Amara shrugged and so was Mandy. They slowly turned their head in my direction and my reaction was like I wrote the word what using my face. “I was looking for clues that would help me determine who the serial killer is. Let me remind you, I clearly and vividly remember you guys rejected my invitation but then you joined me one by one anyway. Don’t blame me for the nightmares haunting you even in daytime.” I sat on the edge of the bed. I exited the video after finishing watching it the nth time. They all looked at me with awkward smiles on their lips. Realization hit them like ton of bricks. We were currently inside our room, Amanda and my room. We spent the nights together after what happened to Dorothy. We also decided to stick t

I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-TWO: Mirror
SERRA “Dad,” I called him.It has been days yet he was still sad and listless.“What can do for yoy, sweetheart?” He forced a smile but the sadness in his eyes was visible.“I-I want to ask you about someone.” I lowered my head.“Come here.” He tapped the space beside him. I obliged and sat next to him. “About who?” he asked.“About my mom,” I stuttered.Hearing the last word he was grief-stricken. I felt bad asking about it.“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t feel like it, dad,” I sincerely said.He shook his. “It’s about time.” He smiled genuinely. “What do you want to know about her?”“What does she look like?” I asked even though I already knew.He moved away and pulled something out of the drawer of his bedside table. He gave me a round object. It was metal-like and silver in color with gold Vines and red roses all over.“Open it,” he told me after handing it over.I ran my thumb tracing the vine and pulled the top part upward. I saw myself, my reflection.“You’re a carbon
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: Shadow
The moment the water swallowed me I held my breath. There’s no way I’m letting the cold enter me. I looked up but it’s all water above me. My hair floats over my head like seaweeds. In the rashness of the moment, I began flinging my arms out.I expect to come back out and I did. I gasped for air before sinking again. I kicked my legs and flapped my arms and I was back to the surface again. But each chance to breathe became further apart. Each breath was less than the last.I tried once more. The more I struggle the more disoriented I became. I felt like I’m trashing inside an invisible prison. My first instinct was to get some air but there should be something else. I couldn’t fight for air forever. I need to find a way out.I pushed with my legs and arms and when I was able to bob my head out of the water, I breath as deep as I could. The water pulled me again. I looked around and saw a wall. The fear I felt was overlain by hope. I flicked my feet and tried to reach the walk. It was
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: That Thing
“No... That couldn’t be.” Kate staggered backward. “It should be there. I should be there,” she repeatedly uttered pulling her hair.I run towards her. “Don’t worry, Kate. We are going to find Lulu’s body.” I assured her and patted her shoulder.She yanked her shoulder away from my grasp and took a few steps backwards. She kept on pulling her hair and her eyes were restless. She didn’t know where to focus them.“W-What if that thing took it? W-What if that thing swallowed it?” Her breathing turned shallow and fast. She punched her head with boths hands wandering with little steps. She’s mentally unstable. I walked near her and caught her hands stopping her from hitting herself.“Stop it, Kate. You’re hurting yourself,” I told her.She already suffered enough. I couldn’t bear watching her like this.“That thing swallowed Lulu whole!” she squealed oogling her eyes at me.I grabbed her cheeks and made her look at me. “What thing, Kate? What thing?”After a moment of touching her face m
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY-ONE: Big Sis
“I am sorry for ignoring you, guys.” Kate lowered her head. “I was just scared of Lulu. I’ve known her for years and I didn’t know she was capable of any of that. I know she won’t hurt any of you though. She was just after me.” Her voice cracked. I moved closer to her and rubbed her back. Comforting her is the only thing I could do for her right now. “Nothing of that is your fault, Kate. Monsters are made. Envy made Lulu into one.” I pulled her making her lean into me as she sobs. “But she is still the Lulu that we know. She’s a beautiful flower,” I added. She lifted her eyes to meet mine. “Will she become a flower forever? Are we going to meet her, the real her?” “No.” I shook my head. “In the next life I could be an animal or a plant or I could be in your body and you could be in mine. It depends on the decisions we make at this lifetime. That doesn’t mean we aren’t real. The real us is not our flesh but our soul.” I wiped her tears away. She nodded and smile. She leaned against
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Free
I dropped my phone after hearing what she said. I hastely went back to the elevator and ran again toward the gym. It was passed two in the afternoon already. “Serra, here!” Mandy waved her hand at me. I ran in thier direction. I gasped for air. “Where is Amanda?” “Amara called and they were together at the moment. What’s going on?” She looked both worried and confused. I looked at Lulu’s direction and Mandy already got what I meant. “Lulu!” I approached her. She turned around and faced me. She was wearing an ice-cold expression, far from the Lulu that I knew. Something was really not right here. I saw Kate died but her name wasn’t carved at the black scroll. I shook the doubt in my mind and focused to the present. “Lulu, grab my hand and get out of the body.” I lend my hand to her but just like before she just stared down my hand. “Yes, Lulu. Do it. Trust her,” Mandy encouraged. She looked at me and smiled. I was relieved to see her smile but my heart started to race pushing m
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Mourn
“Are you sure about that?” Grip asked. “Yes, bring me back to the mansion. I chose to front my fear.” I firmly said. He nodded and smiled. He was proud. He grabbed my waist and pulled me nigh him. Lulu’s and Dorothy’s name was already written on the scroll of death and today was the thirteenth day from Xyrus’ supposed to be death. I wanted to save them, to do that I need to watch dad’s every move. I was not certain if my plan would work but I have to try at least. “Grip, something’s off–” I turned around but he wasn’t here anymore. “Grip?” I sighed and just walked the long way toward the mansion. He was vanishing from my sight very often this days. It was a sign that he would leave and cross to the other side very soon. As I walk the garden I came across with bronze maids. They would avoid taking the same way as I do. They would even avoid staring in my eyes. I stared at the huge closed door before me. Just by thinking of going inside gave me goosebumps. I took a deep breath. I p
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Sword of Hustling Wind
Fear enveloped me when I arrived at the mansion. Dead bodies of maids were lying everywhere in the front yard. The metallic scent of blood was giving me a feeling of gagging. I looked around hoping that I could find someone breathing but I was too late. Some were beheaded, some were stabbed multiple times, and chopped like a piece of meat. “Ahh!” I snapped my head in the mansion’s direction. I knew that scream and it was coming from the mansion. I ran and ran. Ran as fast as I could. I pushed the mansion’s door wide open. In front of me was dad wearing his usual coldness. In front of him stood Amanda. She was dressed like the lady in red. I saw no emotion in her eyes. Dad placed his hand on her shoulder and whispered to her, “say hi to your sister.” Amanda slowly raised her hand and waved at me like a puppet. “Hi...” Dad’s lips twitched. He didn’t like what Amanda did. His fingers turned black and grew long. Digging its sharpness in her shoulder. “Do it with a smile.” He gritted h
I Saw You CHAPTER FORTY: Previous Life
“Why did we stop?” I poked my head out of my carriage’s window. “A man dropped in the middle of the road, madame,” the coachman responded. I rose from my seat but a man stopped me by grabbing my arm. His face was a bit blurry but the longer I stare the much clearer his face become. My brows furrowed to see Xyrus who was wearing a weird looking clothes from the past. The breeches were long and fairly full in cut, reaching just below the knee. The doublet has a high waist at the sides and back, extending to a point in front. A deliberate opening of the seam on each sleeve allows the fine linen shirt underneath to be seen. He completed his attire with a cape that spans almost a full circle. I looked at myself. I was wearing a deep brown gown with a low rounded neckline and a small ruff paired with a winged collar. The tight sleeves have pronounced shoulder wings and deep lace cuffs. It has a matching petticoat pinned into flounces on a drum or cartwheel farthingale. I looked at him an
I Saw You CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE: Secret Room
“D-Dad?” I whispered. He did not answer. I brought my phone out and opened my flashlight. I directed the light to his face. “Grip? What are you doing here?” He lended me his hand and pulled me up on my feet. “I should be the one asking you that. What are you doing here in the middle of the night? Are you seriously sneaking?” He made me turn my back at him and wiped the dust off my pajamas. “Yes, I am. So will you lower your voice now?” I scolded him in a whispering manner. “Do you think you won’t get caught? Maybe you passed through the elderlies but how about that?” He grabbed my hand and directed my phone’s light to the ceiling. I felt like my effort went to nothing to see the CCTV camera blinking red taunting me. I face-palmed. “You are lucky because you have a handsome boyfriend to the rescue.” He winked at me. “What did you do?” I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t looked at me like that. I just saved you from trouble. I moved the camera to somewhere that wouldn’t caught you.”
