Midnight came. The large road accident that happened at the City of the Pines was naturally broadcasted nationwide and those in the faraway capital did not miss the news.

...Two hours later, Ley and Hana sneakily jumped down from the aircraft landing in a street. The pilot was still hellbent on flying them to the other airport in the neighboring province and had no idea about what was happening in the passenger seats. He did not notice their mind-boggling departure. He did not see how they jumped off without wearing parachutes, and they simply relied on their physical capabilities to resist the frigid temperature, the air pressure, the fear, and everything associated with their suicidal moves.

...“Your friend’s a passenger of the bus that fell down the cliff at the City of Pines?”Nathan was currently someone who preferred to not leave the bungalow as much as possible. After experiencing peaceful days free of hauntings, he naturally became attached to the House. Even when going to the grocery store to buy himself a few bottles of alcohol or some treats, or when tagging along to help the maids restock, he did not want to stay outside for more than two hours.But now, Lucy, his pretty and competent editor, wanted him to accompany her to a place that would most likely demand him to part from his safe haven for a day or more?“Yes.” The woman’s voice rang from the other line, answering his previous question.Nathan’s mind went back to weighing his options.He had done his test before and five hours was already the limit. Only five hours. Yet a one way trip would already consume that much time, or more if they unluckily got caught in traffic.Leaving for a prolonged period meant

...“Mr. Nathan?”The one he saw seated on the stool next to the bed was Hana, and she was the only familiar person in the place. Ley, his ‘master’ was not around. The one lying in bed was a handsome man in his mid or late twenties matching the descriptions Lucy’s friend’s said just a few minutes ago. He must be the butler of the House. His future boss, Sam.Nathan looked around for a while, taking in every detail of the room. Hana who was puzzled about his appearance here asked, “Why are you here. When did you arrive?”He dazedly replied, “I’ve come with a friend who visited another passenger. I have just arrived.”“I see... We are only an hour or so earlier than you then.” Hana’s eyes went to the fairly beautiful woman standing next to Nathan. “And this is?”Lucy saw that Nathan’s gaze went to her too so she stepped forward. Wearing a smile on her lips, she said, “Good day. My name is Lucy. I am Nathan’s editor. He writes for our publication.” The editor was actually glum since

In the end, Hana and Fernando stayed in Ley’s and chatted about how they passed the previous days.Ley did not join them as he opened his laptop and searched about similar accidents around the city.He browsed for half an hour.

...Ley looked behind them through the rearview mirror.But despite evading danger, his face was icy cold from thinking that their rented car almost suffered the same fate as the tour bus.

...Hours passed and those who set off for the capital arrived at home just an hour after sunrise. Hana had a class to attend in less than one and a half hours. There was no time to rest at all. She had to take a shower then change into her uniform and then eat, all in an hour, just so she would not be late. Thankfully, she was no normal girl so the lack of sleep did not faze her at all and she was able to finish the task on time. Sam drove her to her new school.
