“Tapos na," sabi ni Avelox after transfering the salt into a small plate na nakita rin lang namin sa bahay. We actually cleaned more and we saw some useful utensils but mostly are glass plates. We are really thankful na may natira ng konting plato at iba pang gamit na pwede pa naming pakinabangan. This can really help us but our problem is how to preserve our meat longer, maybe we’ll use the salt method. You know, putting salts on the meat and drying it using sunlight. Lumabas ako ng bahay at nadatnan ko si Zavier na kumukuha ng tubig and he’s currently purifying it. I suddenly remembered that Avelox mentioned that she saw grapes when we went fishing. We can make liquor using it. Well, sa sitwasyon na ito, ang sarap talagang mag laklak ng alak. Hindi man halata pero umiinom rin ako at madalas kapag failed yung research k

Minulat ko ang mata ko at agad napahawak sa bewang ko. I looked around and I noticed that I was laying in a bed of leaves. Agad akong napaupo dahil sa gulat, Where am I? I bit my lower lip when I felt pain when I sat. I also noticed that my wounds were covered with bandages? How? Also, this is not our home? What is going on? Pinilit kong tumayo at dahan-dahang naglakad. Napadaan ako sa isang picture frame na nakasabit pa rin sa wall pero puno ng halaman. I carefully moved the leaves to see the picture at nagulat ako sa nakita ko. It was Apollo and some girl who's holding his arm. They both looked so happy. If I'm not wrong, this girl was Vivianne, the youngest female idol na sumikat at galing to sa school nila Apollo, there were rumors that they were dating-- I guess, those rumors were true. Lumabas ako sa pintoan agad dahil wala na ang pinto. Sumalubong saki

ZAVIER'S POV "Ang hirap naman maghanap," reklamo ko "Kasi naman di rin naman natin alam kung saan tayo magsisimula knowing na all infrastructures are useless, tsaka isa pa may kalaban rin tayo. We’re really at disadvantage," Avelox answered and I nodded I sighed at patuloy na humahanap ng mga gamit na pwedeng gamitin at mga pagkain na pwedeng kainin. Although we have some spare meat sa mansion kailangan pa rin namin kumuha ng iba pa. Buti nalang tinuruan kami ni Cass paano mag preserve ng mga pagkain, ngayon ko lang narealize kung gaano ka importante ang refrigerator. We have to get unripe fruits as well for it to last for a couple of days. I can't believe na pwedeng mabuhay ang tao kahit walang internet or convenience store. Well, without Cass, maybe we'd be eating anything that looked edible right now. I’m glad we met with 2 famous

CASSIOPEIA "Good Morning Cass." bati ni Avelox sakin "Good morning." bati ko naman sa kanya I looked around but I saw no one except us inside Apollo's room. "Where are they?" tanong ko "Packing our things, we have to stay in another place kasi inatake na dito so I'm guessing they already marked this place." "Yeah, you're right, pero saan tayo pupunta?" sagot ko Napatingin ako sa mga sugat ko. They're healing fast. I tried to stood up and I smiled. Nakatayo na ako at nakakalakad but slow kasi medyo andun pa yung pain but the wound in my waist is still painful. Although my platelets did their job already, masakit pa rin.

“I’m really sorry about that,”I apologized over and over to Apollo habang pabalik kami sa mall. I hugged him out of nowhere and I really think that he doesn’t feel like hanging out any more. “It’s fine, really. I was just surprised,” he replied I sighed and I looked away. I did hug him but I know it was just because of my hormonal imbalance. He handed me the exact thing I needed, of course my serotonin and endorphins would rise like crazy. Alam niyo na mga happy hormones natin pag tumataas, kung ano-ano na lang yung gagawin natin dahil sa kasiyahan. Sinundan ko siya papunta sa likuran ng mall and I saw barks of trees na naka-form na into square. Kulang nalang talaga yung screen. Did he make this when he walked away after asking me? I sat in front of him as he was try
