“ Wha_ who are?” Bayani takes an intent look at the Mayor ** Does he honestly have no idea up till now** he thinks perplexed, then replies; “ A whole lot of horrors sir!” As the bewildered Mayor asks his numerous questions, Bayani turns to ready his gear and himself. **“ The unfavorable memory of what he just witnessed buried itself into his brain. Even though he wished to stop remembering it, flashes of the event still appeared now and then. The moment he was driving through town to aid the distressed officer everywhere looked like a deserted wasteland. Moments at intervals, he could hear eerie screeching all around him. ** So it wasn't just a rumor?** he wonders. After the meeting of the Mayor and the fishermen of the community, it was decided that they would send the very best among the fishermen to try to hunt down whatever thing that was making the fishes disappear that quickly. With the disappearance of the Mayor's daughter Tala around that area, Bayani had sent three

“ Don't move one more step. Or we'll be forced to open fire!” Bayani orders making her stop walking toward her father. Bayani's fingers shivered a little, he shouldn't have let her in in the first place, she was no longer human. **But how is she not running wild and attacking us right away!?** His thoughts had no answer, but he was sure that if she so much as raised her ankle a bit, he would certainly shoot her. “ Dad?” Althea suddenly calls the intensely shocked Mayor who took a few steps back behind Bayani. ** SHE CAN TALK!?** Bayani's mind cried. “ Y_yes dear?” The Mayor finally replies, there's no way this could be his child, but why does her voice sound like her? ** I must be asleep. This cannot be real!** Thinks his bewildered mind. “ Why are the police here? Did something happen? Did anyone die?” she asks. ** What the hell? Her emotions are as dead as her eyes. I can't lose focus, she's going to do something I can feel it** Bayani thinks, sweat trickling down his forehea

** What the...? Why the...? How the... ? Why the hell did Dolly agree to this? ** Chesa walls in her mind as she sits arms wrapped on her knees covered to the chest in the bubbled water, incredibly shy. ** Bathing with Dolly is one thing, but with a complete total stranger is a whole 'nother different thing altogether. ** she thinks, her feet trembling. Jade giggles; “ What's wrong with your friend? ” she asks. “ She's shy! ” Dolly looks at her and replies. “ I'M NOT... shy! ” Chesa replies, hugging her knees tighter. She wished that the ground would just swallow her up. “ Don't be shy, just think of me as Jane. I can perfectly mimic her you know. ” Jade says, picking up her white hanky, folding it, and tying it around her eyes. Leaving her mouth semi-open, she hovers her head around like a blind person. “ Wow, you look just like her! ”Dolly exclaims. Jade giggles and takes off the blindfolds. “ You know, I'm so glad that you guys like her. Most people just want to avoid her.

Emma slightly opens up her eyes to the starry skies above. The headache has reduced, and she could barely believe that she made it out alive. “ Emma! You're awake. ” Stephanie called. “ Yeah! ” She responds, getting up and noticing the bandages wrapped around her head. “ What is this? ” She asks. “ And why ugh, why does my mouth taste like I ate an entire card of drugs? ” “ Well, we had to force you to take some paracetamol you know? Two tablets. You were unconscious and there was no water. ” Stephanie replies. “ We're just happy you're okay! ” Bituin says. “ Yeah, we are! ” Nathan concurs both of them including Adrian looked at her like someone that had just resurrected from the dead. “ Uh guys, I don't think that we'd have to wait for water for too long now. I think all those dark clouds I'm seeing are a storm. ” Maya says sitting by the edge of the roof. “ Uh! guys! I think we could take shelter under these solar panels. ” Nathan alerts, as the wind blew harder, and the stor

The sea waves wooshed on and off the shore, the waters moving against Chesa's arm. Gradually, she opens her eyes and sees a crab moving about the shore. “ I'm I dead? ” her subconscious asks. Lifting a finger, she rubs it against the crab's shell and it retaliates by snapping it with its pincers. “ Ah! Not yet!! ” she exclaims sitting up. “ Dolly?! Dolly wake up! ” she calls shaking her as she was lying beside her. “ Uh... Huh? Chesa?” She says as she got up, rubbing her eyes with the back of her arm. “ Are you alright Chesa? ” She asks. “ Yeah! I'm fine! Are you? ” “ I think so. ” Dolly replied and Chesa helps her get up on her feet. “ Where... Where is that boy? ” Dolly asked as she looked around. “ Over there! ”Chesa replied as she points to khent who lay on his back with a giant crab on his face. The crab which seemed to be surprised at what it was crawling on, picked at his nose with its pincers. “ Ouch! ” he exclaimed and immed
