ALYSSA covered both of her ears with her hands as the artist started laughing.
"Sofia....!" Alyssa shouted when she saw the painting swallow her. She cried on one side of that room because of the pity she felt for Sofia.Alyssa let go of the painting she was holding, she suddenly returned to the present. She moved so quickly, that she put the paintings back in place for fear that the artist might return to the mansion.Alyssa was about to close the cabinet when she noticed the boxes at the foot of the statue. The girl looked at the small but medium-length boxes.The year 2016The year 2017The year 2018The year 2019 is the current year, these are the ones indicated on the top of the boxes. She took the year 2019 and carefully removed the cover.Paintbrushes! She whispered to herself.She took a paintbrush and looked at it carefully, she read something written. "Miguel," when she read what was written, she suddenly saw in her vision Miguel's face crying an"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. He thought, that someone might have entered his room when he was not in the mansion because he forgot to lock
MAGGIE sipped the soup with a sound."Yeah, Aling Iseng, super B!" Charlotte said that she used her hands to eat.The old woman just smiled modestly at the compliment she heard."Hey, why you are so quiet," Maggie commented to Alyssa that noticed her friend seemed to be having a hard time raising the spoon. "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.
"A-aahhh because," Alyssa's mouth twitched, her fingers restless."Because?'' Carlos smile.Alyssa was about to speak when the power went out, it was dark inside the Mansion. She was scared so she hugged Carlos."Don't leave me, I don't see anything," Alyssa begged him, even though she couldn't see him. Fortunately, she had finished brushing her teeth so her breath smelling fresh. Her arms were still tightly wrapped around his neck."Ssssshhh, I won't leave you," Carlos whispered to her, he couldn't move. He was afraid to touch even a strand of Alyssa's hair and she might slap him. But his heart secretly celebrated when the girl hugged him even though it wasn't intentional.The three girls came out of the kitchen holding hands."Alyssa!" Maggie called to her friend, she widened her eyes so she could see Alyssa."Carlos, Alyssa, where are you guys?!" Maureen shouted as one arm was slightly raised like a zombie.Alyssa heard fellow students calling to them.
CARLOS noticed Alyssa's strange behavior, she was watching them play cards but she seemed to be thinking of something. 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?" It's Carlos again."I saw that in Sir's bedroom," she confessed. It would be goo
Charlotte and Maureen had left but she could hear their laughter, and she knew they were talking about her."Don't pay any attention to them," Maggie whispered to her. She nodded in response.Carlos also stood up and stretched his body. "Come on, let's go up too."Alyssa and Maggie also stood up.The three went up the stairs."Alyssa, please don't be upset with us. 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. She worriedly rubbed her back."Don't cry,
"I'll give you that painting," Gregorio said with a smile."Really?!" Maureen asked incredulously.The artist replied with a nod."Are you serious Sir?" Maureen still couldn't believe what she heard. She looked at the painting again. It was so beautiful then the artist would just give it to him."You heard me right?''"Thank you so much, Sir!" Maureen smiled."But there's another part of the drawing I haven't painted yet, can you continue?" Gregorio looked serious."What do you mean?" Maureen asked confused. She thought the painting was done.Gregorio handed the paintbrush and acrylic colors to Maureen.Maureen was silent as she gripped the paintbrush tightly."Sir, it looks like your painting is done,""Not yet," Gregorio replied.Gregorio showed the girl a part of the painting that he intended not to paint."Ah, this fairy has a flower in her ear," Maureen pointed out in the painting. She didn't notice i
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
