'MAKARI'The surrounding noise disappeared. The periodic gusts of wind stopped. Even the serene sky now seemed to sympathize with the overflowing nervousness that engulfed my entire being.My mind screamed at my body to act. I had to move and run to get away from her if I even could. But since our eyes met earlier, I couldn't obey my body anymore.No doubt, I was under her black magic."After several months, we finally found you and the sweet part is I was the first to find you!" The black witch standing in front of me let out a shrill and terrifying laugh.There is nothing remarkable about her outward appearance, in fact, she seems to be my age and just a normal girl wearing a pure black outfit. But when your eyes fall on her, you will know that she is not normal because it's just pure black.For someone like me with a high level of senses, I could feel the steaming black aura in his body but Mama Amelia was far stronger than her. However, Mama Amelia isn't here right now so there's
Moon Drip 10 | The Man He Least Expect
'MAKARI'My eyes almost rolled due to the speed and heaviness of my breathing. I'm like a fish out of water and now chasing air. My body still didn't stop shaking and beads of cold sweat keep on rolling down my forehead.They're here. They found me. No. They're after me!During our last six years here at Golden River, every night Mama Amelia and I wished that this was the last place we would move to; the "safe" place we longed to. But I can't believe that this afternoon, those six years are coming to an end just because of a black witch currently chasing us now."Breathe, Makari. Breathe!" said loudly the person driving the car that made it possible for me to get away from the witch chasing me now.He quickly maneuvered the car and entered a deserted road. Woods can be seen on both sides of the road. It looks like we are on the outskirts of town."Sh!t! She's still following!" The guy behind the wheel cussed. He looked back and forth at the road and the rearview mirror to look at our
Moon Drip 00 | The Beginning
In the distant past, a story once emerged about a clan that lived in tranquility and harmony in a hidden village in the deepest heart of an enchanting forest — the clan pleased by Selene, the Moon Goddess. This clan is small and there is nothing special about them. They live with what they have in the abundance of nature and they are contented and very grateful for it. But if there is one quality that pleased the Moon Goddess with them, it is their undying faith in Her.This clan — the Cohens, were pure believers of Selene.Believing that the Moon Goddess gives them grace and protection against the threat of the wild in the forest whenever darkness falls, whenever the moon reaches its prime state, they hold a ceremony to thank and honor Selene for Her light. They dance and sing their gratitude for the Goddess that never fails to reach Her. Because of that, they became special in the eyes of the Goddess and She was very happy with them.Until one night, when the moon had a blue light,
Moon Drip 01 | Gloomy Afternoon
'MAKARI' "Do advance reading on the topic we discussed today. Expect that we will have an oral recitation tomorrow and of course, you already know the punishment for those who cannot answer. I told you just now so that you have time. It's up to you whether you take it seriously or not. That's all. Class dismissal."The loud ringing of the bell lasted for almost a few minutes before it ended just like today's class. It's a bit noisy not only in the classroom but also outside, probably others also have already been dismissed.When the teacher finally left, I stood up like most, the only difference was, I wasn't as loud as them who seemed to be celebrating and crying for joy just because our day was ended.Can't blame them. After almost a whole day of boring classes going through today, this point is the only one that can bring back their almost burned-out enthusiasm. The moment everyone's been waiting for, they say.I just quietly sighed and headed out of the room. After all, I don't ge
Moon Drip 02 | Accursed Gift
'MAKARI'I even had to take a double look at the digital alarm clock that was sitting on top of my bedside drawer to make sure that my first glance at it when I woke up was correct. I doubted it when I opened the draperies in my room because when I first looked at the time it was only 9 o'clock in the morning but it seemed like 6 in the afternoon outside. That was probably because of the incessant rain and even now the dark sky was still mourning. And because of that, the classes are still suspended.Before going out, I folded my bed first. Besides the fact that there is no one else to do it but me, I also don't have a habit of leaving my bed in a mess. I folded the blankets properly and stacked the four pillows neatly at the head of the bed. After that, I went to the bathroom to do my morning routine. By the time I left my room, I was wearing a checkered white and black sweater, grey jogger pants and bunny-designed black cotton plush wool slippers as footwear. The weather is cold du
Moon Drip 03 | Blood
'MAKARI'The long week of non-stop rain has ended. Just yesterday, the sun finally showed up, bringing back the vitality of the atmosphere that was temporarily washed away by the rain.And at the same time as the days passed, I fulfilled my promise to Mama Amelia that I would "try" to interact more with other people, especially with my classmates, which for me is no longer difficult since I have been with them during my freshmen and sophomore years.But that doesn't mean I will let them interfere in my life or suddenly become closer to them. As I said, I have to take a lot of care for the sake of safety not only for myself but also for Mama Amelia. Compared to previous years, it's better now that I interact with the class somehow even if not that often. I leave that like that for now.And now, I'm walking out of the building. The first half of class is over and we have a one-hour break before lunch so I thought of going to the forestry which is at the end of school. Since then, I have
Moon Drip 04 | Disconcerted
'MAKARI'I violently rose from my bed, catching my breath with beads of sweat on my forehead and chest. I opened the lampshade to break the darkness in the four corners of my room. When I glanced at the time on my digital alarm clock it was only a quarter past 5 in the morning.I let out a deep breath before I stood up from my bed. I felt thirsty so I decided to head to the kitchen.Arriving in the kitchen, Mama Amelia was not there, she was probably still sleeping. It's still too early since she usually wakes up in the morning to cook breakfast later than 6.With the glass in hand, I went to our fridge and quietly got some cold water that was just right to wake up my mind and body. I don't know if it's still necessary because a while ago my core woke up because of that dream that visited me. Again.After drinking, I went straight to the veranda. I slowly opened the door and turned on the lights as the dawn was not enough to illuminate the surroundings.I don't even know if I will be
Moon Drip 05 | Not Priority
'MAKARI'"Days go by so quickly when you don't realize it", that's what many say and I've proven it to be true. It seems like only yesterday when Mama Amelia and I celebrated the sixth anniversary of our stay here in Gold River but now we are halfway through the year.Mama Amelia is always grateful for the days that have passed without any problems happening and so am I. There is nothing more that we both could ask for but to be safe in this place. Still hoping— believing that this is the place we've been looking for for a long time; the place where we will be safe from the threat of danger.But if there's something I'm more thankful for besides what I've mentioned, it's that the recurring nightmare that has been my regular guest every night for about a week has finally stopped.Because that nightmare brought nothing but apprehension and restlessness if I focused on it, I chose to forget it and it was effective because now my mind is at peace.Although sometimes it makes me wonder if
