LOGINKim was able to get up. It was dark around him, crawling in the dark, but she could smell a pungent odor. She even screamed as she slipped. When she smelled it, she was shocked and terrified when she found out blood had spread on the floor.. she was even more frightened when she remembered that person had abducted her. Since she could not see, she still forced herself to step even though her knees were shaking with fear. God help me get out of here!
"Is there anyone there.. please hel
They found the old doll, and it seemed like it caused the strange noise. For a moment, the tension faded, but the fear didn’t go away.Cheska couldn’t shake the feeling that it wasn’t just a coincidence. The doll’s cracked, empty eyes felt wrong—like it knew something, like it was silently blaming them. Even though it was just an object, it gave her chills.As they walked down the grand staircase, the house grew quiet again. But it wasn’t a peaceful silence. It felt heavy… like something was watching and waiting.“Well, that was anticlimactic,” Ben said, trying to sound relaxed, but his voice still shook a little. “It’s just a doll. Nothing to worry about.”Lia hugged herself, still uneasy. “I don’t know, Ben. It felt… intentional. Like something wanted us to notice it.”Marco, trying to stay practical, spoke up. “Whatever that was, we need to focus. We should figure out where to sleep—and check if there’s water or electricity. This place is dangerous in the dark.”Before anyone could
The old gate creaked loudly as it slowly opened. Inside, a long driveway stretched ahead, almost hidden by tall weeds and thorny bushes.In the soft light of early morning, the ancestral house finally came into full view. It was big and once beautiful, a clear sign of wealth from long ago. But now, time had changed it. The walls were dirty and covered in mildew. The paint was peeling off, and many windows were broken or sealed with wood. They looked like empty eyes staring into the dull morning sky.“It’s… bigger than I imagined,” Lia said softly. She held onto Marco’s arm, her grip tight.“And a lot more… gothic,” Marco added, trying to sound brave but failing. He checked his phone, then frowned. “No signal. Great.”Ben, always practical, started taking their bags out of the car. “Well, it’s clearly abandoned. And probably full of rats. Let’s just go inside and see if we can stay here.”But Cheska didn’t move. She kept staring at the house.It wasn’t just how old and damaged it looke
The car finally stopped at the edge of a clearing. Its headlights lit up the large, old ancestral house in front of them.But before Cheska could focus on the house, she noticed the town around it. They had passed through earlier, but it was too dark to see clearly. Now, as dawn slowly appeared in the sky with soft shades of purple and gray, the real 모습 of San Lazaro began to show.The village was small, sitting quietly in a valley surrounded by thick, ancient trees. The trees seemed to lean closer, as if they were hiding secrets. The houses were old—some looked like they were built during the Spanish era. Their paint was peeling, and the wooden windows were worn out and faded.Everything felt tired and forgotten. It was as if time had stopped in San Lazaro, leaving the place stuck in sadness and silence.But what made Cheska more uneasy were the people.As Ben slowly drove through the narrow streets, a few people appeared from the shadows. Most of them were old. Their faces were full
The old sedan rattled as it moved along the winding road.Cheska sat quietly by the window, watching the rice fields blur into tall coconut trees. The sky was slowly darkening, and the farther they went, the fewer houses they passed.Inside the car, Lia and Marco tried to talk about music, their voices light but forced. Even Ben, who was usually loud and playful, stayed quiet, his eyes fixed on the road ahead.Something already felt off.San Lazaro.Cheska had only ever heard that name in whispers.Her mother, Ellie, refused to talk about it. Every time Cheska asked, she would either change the topic—or look at her with fear that didn’t make sense.But this time, Cheska didn’t stop asking.She came here for answers.“Are you sure about this?” Lia finally asked, her voice soft.“Your mom… she doesn’t want you going here.”Cheska gave a small, uneasy smile.“I know,” she said. “But I have to. Too many things don’t make sense.”She looked down at her hands.“Everyone died in that house…
"You should definitely go to your Grandma's house in province Cheska? Besides No one has lived there for a long time and I don't know, if it will be repaired until now." Ellie said. Even though it was a long time ago, she still can't remember it."Mommy, I have to go for my research paper and if I don't pass next month. I will not pass and will no graduated next year!" Cheska gave a long explanation to her mother who is still against her going to the province. The former house of mommy's parents."And I'm not alone, there are many of us, Mommy, you don't have to worry about me. When we finish we will immediately go back to Manila promise..." In addition to what Cheska would say to her mother."Okay, find... What else can I do? As long as you don't separate from your friends, you should always be together." She reminded Cheska always."Yes, Mommy. I promise..." Cheska raised her right hand as a sign of her promise."Okay. Good! I will call the caretaker there and tell him you are com
"Come in." The girl smiled at him. He has nothing to do tonight. He thought of visiting it so he and Margo could have coffee."Thanks?""Where?" Smiling, he asked me."To come with me inside, even at this time of night," I said here. It smiled at him so sweetly that even its eyes smiled as well."It's Okay. I can't sleep either! " She answered me."Why?" I asked.Nothing.. maybe because of what's going on around me. You know, until now, the criminal has not been found... I'm afraid that maybe my sister and I will be next. Fear was in his voice."Shh.. don't think like that, Margo. Besides, I'm here when you need help. Just call me. I'll be right back! " I immediately said it. He saw someone standing tall, and Margo looked at them.For a moment, I saw someone looking up. Do you have anyone else with you besides you two and your sister? I'm asking here.The one who was looking at me knelt."Nothing! Maybe you just did that? ""No. I can't be wrong, peo
