The Mayor puffed heavily as he ran frantically into his home. Inside, the house was a complete mess showing all the tell-tale signs of a struggle. Around the living room, utensils from the kitchen was scattered. A knife with fresh blood that seemed to drip from its evil blade lay ominously in the center of one table.“ Maria!! Maria!!!” he called his wife in a great panic as he climbed the stairs, racing towards her room.Everywhere he looked, all he could see was blood and death. What looked like arterial spray covered the walls like a psychotic Jackson Pollack painting. Puddles of sticky red blood pooled around the bodies of his maids whose necks had been slashed indiscriminately.His cold, clammy hands shook as he gingerly walked towards the room’s door, blood splashing on his trousers.“ Ma…ria?” he called again, struggling to keep his glasses on his shivering sweaty face as he turned the door’s handle and slowly pushed it open. He hurriedly locks it while turning slowly fearing th

Khent and Althea after spending the entire morning shopping, returned to the road to board a taxi back home. The road was quite busy, with people roving about, and residential buildings on each side.Althea held a cup of strawberry ice cream in her hand, smiling innocently, and waiting for the perfect opportunity to run from him. They were just a few meters away from the place she and her sister branched to the Hinatuan river.On seeing a taxi cab approaching from a considerable distance, Khent flings his hand in an attempt to stop it.

As people gathered, the man begins to shriek in agony from the overwhelming pain enveloping his body.Khent gets up from the ground and helped his cousin up to h

“ Listen man! You can't go out there.” Adrian says as he helps Nathan to block his way.“ And what are you? The counselor's son? Get the heck outta my way now!” he replied, pushing him.“ You mean to tell us that you have no idea of what the hell is going on here?” Nathan asks.“ What's your problem dude? You will kill us all if you open that door.” Bituin said, pushing him back by the shoulder.“ Have you all lost your freaking minds? Get outta my way—Now!” he shouts back, face red in anger as his stomach growls hungrily.“ Listen to us dude! Please!”“ You cannot go out there!”“ Go back to sleep moron!!...”They all try to dissuade him from reaching for the door, but he gets even more angry as he is pushed back over and over again.Having had enough, he clenched his fists in readiness to punch the first person that will try to get in his way again. But then, he felt a straight hit to his kneepit which forced him to kneel on the floor, and then a sharp strike to the neck silenced him

By around 4:00 am the next morning, Emma was forced awake by hunger. Her tummy grumbled so much that she could no longer fall back asleep. Sitting up she clinched to herself tightly in anguish but then she remembers the remaining cookies Stephanie left for the next evening. She couldn't wait any longer as she dragged herself to the door and searched for the cookies. Finding it after some minutes, she counts the remaining ones and they were only five. Devouring only two of them did nothing to relieve the hunger she felt, so she takes an extra half. Still, she was hungry, so much that she ate up all of the remaining cookies left. Right after, she felt awful about what she had done but could do nothing but throw away the empty wrapper. Laying back on the desk beside Stephanie, Emma coils up herself and tries to fall back asleep. ... “ Emma! Emma!!” She hears Stephanie call her name moments later. “ Emma!!” she called again, shaking her shoulder.

Every student at the Guardian's office scattered around the office with their breakfast partners in a hurry to eat. Nathan moved to a corner of the class and Mira grudgingly followed, arms wrapped around her chest.“ Comm'n aren't you hungry?” he asks sitting on a desk and keeping the flask on another desk in front of his as he invites her to join him.Keeping her eyes on his without hiding any sign of her displeasure, she drags a desk and stationed it in front of him before sitting down on it.Nathan smiles at her and says; “ You know Mira! I'm not your enemy. You could stop frowning like that.” while handing her the spoon.Mira gazed at him for while before collecting it from him and lightning up a bit.“ Why did you want to share with me?” she asked as she mixes the stew with the rice and takes one spoonful before handing it back to him.Nathan smiles again; “ Well, it's because you aren't friends with your classmates, and Maya is too shy to eat with you.” He says before taking
