"Mabuti naman gising ka na." Nagtaas ako ng mukha at doon tumambad sa akin ang guwapo ngunit tila galit na mukha ni Ruther.

Mas lumalapit na ang ahas. Nanghina ang kaniyang mga tuhod, at halos matumba siya. Ang mga malamig at patayong balintataw ng hayop ay tila nakapako nang buo sa kaniya.

Marahil dahil sa matagal na pananatili sa estado ng matinding takot, ang kaniyang tiyan ay nagsimulang mamulikat nang marahas.

Hindi dahil inimbita niya ako. I was too tired and too weak when he went to his room. Feel ko bibigay na din ang katawan ko any minute now kaya minabuti kong pumunta din sa kwarto ko. Sa bawat hakbang ko sa hagdan, para akong matutumba. Pero pinilit kong magsikap para marating ang kwarto ko. Kaya pagdating ko, hinang-hina ako. And true enough, when I let my body on my bed, agad nandilim ang paningin ko. My breath became shallow as I started to shiver. At nawalan na ako ng malay kalaunan. …

Isang matinis at nakakakilabot na ingay na parang mabangis na hayop na pilit kumakawala. Napapikit si Nevaeh sa takot habang nanginig ang buong katawan niya. Unti-unting kumalat ang malamig na kilabot mula sa kanyang likod hanggang sa bawat sulok ng kanyang katawan. Hindi pa siya tuluyang nakakabawi nang may malalaking kamay na marahang tumakip sa kanyang mga tainga.

At sa bawat pagkakataon, si Vernon ay tila sinusukat ang kanyang tibay bago lamang siya tuluyang bitawan kapag ang lahat ng magagandang salita ay nasabi na. Para siyang hinila mula sa kailaliman ng tubig, siya ay basang-basa, mabigat ang katawan at halos hindi makahinga. Ang kanyang katawan ay tila inihiga nang patag sa isang malamig na ibabaw at kahit ang simpleng tunog ng tik-tak ng orasan ay nagdudulot sa kanya ng panginginig parang may sumasabay na takot sa bawat segundo.

I couldn’t help but feel conflicted, wanting to push him away yet yearning for the warmth of his presence. “Damn it! Faster, you’re shaking to death!” he urged, urgency spilling from his words, amplifying the chaos of my emotions. Yes, I was already cold, not just because of the chilly air, but from a deep, shivering chill that coursed through me. Even though I was shivering, I didn't address it. Then he took the shower filter again and held it up to me, as if offering a remedy. I moved to rinse myself, eager to finish and escape the coldness that enveloped me.

She’s terrified. The wind blew and she shivered. She’s damn wet and cold. At hindi nakakatulong ang malamig na pag-ihip ng hangin sa lamig na kanyang nararamdaman ngayon. She looked at Aiden. At dahil sa malakas na buhos ng ulan, kinakailangan niya pang mapahilamos para makakita nang maayos.

Nabigla pa ako nang binuksan niya ang shower at pareho kaming basang-basa na ngayon. The cold water from the shower hit my skin, making me gasp.
