JOSHUA The sunlight peeking from the curtain blinds and the gentle hands caressing my hair fetched me out of dreamland. I tried to slowly sit as a skull-breaking pain knocked on my head. "Okay ka lang?" Isang pamilyar at mahinhin na boses ang umagaw sa atensyon ko. I tried to clear my visions as I tried to turn and look at her, "Ate." Her eyes were full of worries and it was puffy, "Have you been crying?" She shook her head as she smiled, "No." "Don't lie to me, Ate. Your face tells me that you have been. Is it because of Toffy? Nakipag-hiwalay nanaman ba siya? Nangbabae? That jerk-" I immediately stood up and was already ready to leave the room when that headache knocked me out again causing me to fall on the floor, "Fuck!" "Calm down, Joshua. Calm the dow

NASH "Are you ready?" Tanong ko kay James habang pareho kaming nakatitig sa hindi kalakihang bahay na nasa harapan namin. It was an old styled house that looks like homes from the spanish era. The atmosphere was peaceful and has been releasing the calming province vibes. Malawak naman yung lote na napupuno ng mga pananim. They had fence that was made of wood, even the gate was made of wood. Matapos maayos na iparada 'yung sasakyan, sabay kaming naglakad ni James papalapit sa gate na kahoy. Hindi na sumama yung iba dahil we have decided na tutukan nalang nila sila Steff. Kaya naman na namin to. Marahang umak

CRISTEPHARIE  It's been two weeks since I ran away from home. I've been staying with Joshua these past days, bumibisita din naman sila Kuya sa Condo niya. We've been going to school normally. Madalas namin kasama si Tasha, we're having fun but everything isn't the same as before.  Nash and James isn't around. Sabi ni Jinn, may inaasikaso daw para sa kanya-kanyang company nila. Jinn, Tripp and Aldren? Minsan ko nalang din makita.  Si Ethan ang madalas na nasa school pero siyempre naiilang padin ako sa kanya. I still don't have any idea about what he's been planning. I can't open up to anyone. I'm well aware that everyone's kinda close with Ethan and I don't

JAMES A very quiet abandoned building is what lies before us as of the moment. There was no one around, ni mga nakaparadang kotse wala. Kung tititigan ang lugar, ni hindi mo iisiping may mga tao pang nagpupunta dito. It was a building right in the middle of the forest. Mukhang factory na ilang taon nang napabayaan. "Sigurado ka bang nasa tamang lugar tayo, Tredd?" Tanong ni Nash kay Tredd na hawak hawak pa yung laptop niya. Tredd glared at Nash before rolling his eyes, "My work is to track down that GPS device na pinapahanap niyo. Malay ko kung nasa tamang lugar tayo basta nandito yung GPS device." "Saan ba

TRIPPToday is the third day. Supposedly that Bloodlust thing they've been talking about will be starting today. However, we still don't have any idea how the event goes.Hindi namin alam kung isa ba iyong gathering na sama-sama kami sa isang arena para tapusin o yung challenges o kung battle royale ba yun na kami-kami din ang target.Wala kaming alam, ni wala kaming kinalaman sa mundong iyon. The mafias, they belong in a whole different world. A world that we never really wanted to enter."You guys will be going back to Taerang today." Tahimik na sambit ni Criston habang nakatutok sa laptop niya. Kasalukuyan kaming nasa dining hall habang nag-uumagahan. For the past three days, all they did was to let us sleep, give us a lot of vitamins and control the food we eat.Aside from that, we've been practicing some fighting skills w
