CHAPTER THIRTY-SIX

NOW OR NEVER MAY 20, 2021 MADDY 25 MINUTES BEFORE 6 AM After entirely removing my ropes, there is now a small light leaking through the wall vent I didn't see at first. I continue to catch my breath as the beating of my heart beats floods my ears, drowning out all other sounds in the room. I'm not sure what to do next. When I forced my feet to stand, they were almost completely submerged in the floor. There was a distinct twist of hurt hiding behind the flesh of my legs as if it were the first time I had used them since they had become separated from the rest of my body. I staggered toward the girls, gasping heavily, squeezing every ounce of energy I had left in me while gripping a pair of scissors tightly in my hands. “V-Vanessa…

CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

WHERE IS MADDY? MAY 20, 2021 JACKIE [JACQUES LUSTRADO | 24] “MADDY IS MISSING!” I unconsciously gave a sneering smile at Zack; the first person who startled me because of his horrifying face and because of the way he yelled at me as if it’ll be his last breath, the moment I opened the door of our room. After I had a heavy drink last night, a hangover is now my companion. Because of that, there’s an enormous amount of headaches troubling me. Honestly, I don’t really like getting drunk. After I started my teaching career, I stopped drinking the way I often do before. And last night feels like my first time drinking alcohol again—I lost control of myself. “Did you see her went out last night?” Zack shouted once more when I wandered straight to the kitchen to brew a coffee. Soberness would soon kick in as long as I drink a cup of

CHAPTER THIRTY-EIGHT

CHAOS May 20, 2021 JACKIE When we saw Gabby and Santi get out of the car at the same time, we were all frozen to the spot. This was shocking to see—we all know how Gabby feels about Santi, but now? I'm at a loss! "Gabby! Are you alright?!" Lizzie broke the silence when she ran from Gabby, who's suspended in the air, held by Finn. When Gabby and the others gently guide Gabby inside, Zack held an umbrella in his other hand and shared it with them. He did not even dare to look at Santi. When they were already inside, I realized I had no choice but to go along with them. While I was foolishly biting the inside of my bottom lip, Santi trudges past me with a frightening scowl on his face.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE

LOST BOY [PART ONE]May 20, 2021 West Lake is just a small province. Years ago, it was almost isolated because of the job opportunities deflation, which caused the locals to take risks in other towns. But their primary reason upon leaving was because this place was infamous for missing cases with two convicted serial killers. Adding in those darkest eras of West Lake, women's population slowly decreases, naming us the scariest and unsafe place in the country.My mother lived here and left at thirteen to work in a brothel in the city, where she met my father. She used to tell me stories about this place, how it's not simply full of grotesque creatures. Her face brightened up when she said to me that this was where she found her happiness because this is the place where she gave birth to me. I am her happiness.

CHAPTER THIRTY-NINE [2]

THE CONTINUATION... It's only 6 a.m. And I already expected a turmoil in the basement as soon as he found out Maddy was free, or if she was lucky enough and chose herself over the girls, she might have escaped. But I didn't get my hopes up. All I know is that he'll be so preoccupied that he won't see us leaving the house. Everybody was still asleep when I walked into the living room. As I approached the front door, I noticed Finn sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. I sighed and shook my head, then continued walking toward the entrance. It's a genuine pity because Zack's friends are great. The way he always comes out on top of life is annoying. He has a fantastic bunch of friends that he just brought to die in here; he has the loving arms of his uncle and aunt, a beautiful

CHAPTER FORTY

TRAITOR May 20, 2021 GABBY For the first time in my life, I committed a heinous crime. I deceived the person who trusted me. No, she was not just a simple person in my life. She had been a part of me—we've known each other since we were kids. I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself, not after what I did. "Gabby, please stay awake." Lizzie's voice tries to keep me awake while lightly tapping my face. I shiver uncontrollably, feeling the cold on every inch of my flesh. Perhaps this is my karma for what I did to Maddy. I never expected to find her there, and I never imagined Santi could do such things to innocent girls. But what I didn't expect was

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

SIX FEET DEEP [PART ONE]May 20, 2021GABBYMaddy's blood is getting closer and closer to my skin, and I can feel the sorrow rising in my chest as I stare at her with wide-open eyes. Everything happened so quickly, and my tears weren't stopping. At first, I believed Santi had fired his gun at me, but when he moved his palm across Maddy, I felt my strength dwindle ultimately.She was shot in the stomach. I couldn't stare at her any longer, but I also didn't want to avert her gaze. Maddy vomits blood while she lies unmoving a few steps away from me. When she gave me a faint smile, I shook my head in despair. I don't want her to do that to me; she can't just say goodbye after all these years of not seeing her. I can't just say goodbye to her now, not in this state.

CHAPTER FORTY-ONE [2]

THE CONTINUATION... "Julius, you friggin' traitor!" When we came upon a wounded cop with blood splattered on his thigh, Santi ordered me to pull over with a gritted-teeth grumble. "Santi! Help!" Cried by the man on the ground. "I'm coming back for you! I simply need to—" He didn't get a chance to finish his sentence when I hit him in the jaw, causing him to collapse against the car door as he accidentally relinquished the gun, which fell to the floor. For a split second, I considered grabbing the gun lying on the floor in front of his feet while he's dizzy. But I was hesitating and thought that it would just be a trip to hell, so I opened the car door and tripped on the mud, but I quickly dragged myself to my feet a

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO

THE MADE-UP LIES [PART ONE] MAY 20, 2021 JACKIE We were urged to sit here in the living room by Santi after he yelled at us not to leave, and it was also the time two guys in police uniform knocked on the door. They instantly became familiar to me. They are one of Santi’s friends from last night. Lizzie and Gabby are in Zack's room; his breathing surprisingly returns to normal after he passes out. When the two cops arrived, Lizzie stopped, begging Santi to let us take Gabby to the hospital. We were all quite concerned about Gabby's condition, and I was afraid we would lose him. Fortunately, he is fine, but he still has a fever, so Lizzie is with him to care for him. It was still a mystery to me what happened to Gabby and Santi; they were together, and we had no idea where they went. And when t

CHAPTER FORTY-TWO [2]

THE CONTINUATION... Zack took a step forward toward Santi, saying, "Do you know how Debbie constantly abused me when I was a kid?Debbie, who was sitting on the bed with Chloe next to her, scoffed in disdain."She's your grandmother!" Santi yelled like an older man demanding respect in return."Yet she didn't act like one!" "Zackary! I'm just trying to keep myself under control right now. Don't test my patience!" I noticed Santi's fist clenched in rage, and his lips curled in contempt."Stop accusing me of abusing you. You're a scoundrel; I just did it because I want to remove the horns from your head! Zackary, you were such a stubborn child. There was
