Alex I'm not actually sleeping. Nasa subconcious world ako ng utak ko ngayon, sinusubukang tumakas sa masakit na reyalidad na nasa labas. Pero kahit anong takas ko, ramdam ko pa rin ang sakit. The pain lingered na tila isang lintang nakadikit sa akin. I wanted to get rid of it, but I didn't know how!"Death was indeed painful, Alex,” puna ng alter ko."Parang ramdam mo naman,” sarkastiko kong tugon."I felt it, Alex. I felt it because you felt it. I'm your conscience, your second you. Kaya kung ano man ang nararamdaman mo, nararamdaman ko rin,” paliwanag niya."Then, bakit parang hindi ka man lang nasaktan?""Nasasaktan ako, Alex.""Well, you don't look like one.""Dahil hindi ako nagpadala nito. And you should, too,” mungkahi niya.I looked at him, scowling. "Are you implying na kalimutan ko lang ang nangyari?" I asked him, hinting at a bit of anger i

It's 8 something in the morning, but the camp was still in a mess. That fire specter sure did great damage. Luckily, neither the civilians nor the soldiers were harmed or wounded. Everyone was safe, except for the facilities. Nasa opisina kami ngayon ni Sky at Dao, para alamin kung paano umatake ang mga halimaw. By the number, siguro akong na-detect iyon ng mga surveillance team."The surveillance failed to detect their energy signatures, and I bet Dao, too," General informed na siyang ikinataka ko."Positive,” tugon ni Dao."Paano ‘yan nangyari? Those were monsters!" protesta ko pero nagkibit-balikat lang si General."I wished that we know the answer, Alex, but we didn't. But I have a hunch that Glias was behind it," suspetya ni General."How? Do they have an invisibility cloak that can conceal the monster's energy signatures?" Sky guessed. It was actually a joke, but he looked serious. As if, he wished that his joke

Nasa labas ako ngayon ng quarter namin. Tahimik, nakakunot and noo, nakasandal, at nag-iisip para sa gagawing modus mamayang gabi. I knew it's too soon para paroblemahin ang lalaking iyon, pero gaya nga ng sabi nila, the sooner the better. I needed to act early, bago pa mahuli ang lahat. If that man was an accomplice of Glias, sigurado akong may pinaplano ito."Okay ka lang, Trish?" biglang tanong ni Maica na tumabi sa akin. I smiled at her.Should I tell her about him? Well, if I wanted to reveal this guy's identity, I need help."Naaalala mo pa ba ‘yong bagong art professor bago mamatay si Angelie Terran?" tanong ko sa kanya na ikinakunot ng noo niya."’Yong gwapong art professor na kakapasok lang that time?" pagkaklaro niya na agad kong tinanguan. "Bakit? Ano'ng meron kay Sir Sagil?""That's his name?" takang tanong ko."No, apelyido niya ‘yon. Hindi ko na matandaan ang first name niya," Maica cla

"Ano?" kunot-noong tanong ni Alex. Hinabol ko muna ang hininga ko, hanggang sa maging stabilize ang paghinga ko. Kinuwento ko sa kanila ang nakita ni Trisha, tapos ang mga hula niya, at ang panghuli ang plano niya. "Ginawa niyo ‘yon nang hindi ko man lang nalalaman?" inis na tanong ni Alex."Ayaw niya kasi. Gusto kong sabihin sa’yo pero makakasira daw iyon sa plano niya,” depensa ko."Kahit na—""Can we stop arguing and start finding our friend?" biglang singit ni Sky.Buti na lang Sky at pinutol mo kasi mahaba-habang bangayan iyon kapag nagpatuloy."Ikaw muna bahala kay Alissa, Carlo," pabor ni Alex na agad tinanguan ng lalaki. "Babalik kami,” bilin ni Alex sa bata."Where did you last see her?" tanong ni Sky."Follow me."Tumakbo kami papunta sa pinangyarihan ko kanina.  Nang marating namin ito, agad napaluhod si Alex at hinawakan ang lupa. Then, he closed his eyes. After

Twenty selected soldiers were arranged at the open ground, standing firmly and sternly, while Jerick oriented them about the plan. Kami naman ni Sky, Carlo, and Maica, ay naghahanda. The three were given guns, bulletproof vests, and earbuds. Habang ako ay vest lang at saka earbuds. I didn't have a weapon, because I'm a weapon myself.The three, along with Jerick, were tasked to save and rescue Trisha, habang ang mga sundalo ay gagawa ng diversion sa nasabing lugar na pinunto ng mag-asawang Galeo.I wanted to destroy the machine — the one they used to free the monsters —, pero wala ito sa plano. Any side actions could jeopardize the entire plan, kaya sa susunod na lang iyon. If I managed to kill the Director and defeated the whole Glias forces, isusunod ko ang machine. Kasi gaya nga ng sabi ko, I needed to end this, and that included these monsters."Let's go,” paanyaya sa amin ni Jerick, na agad naming tinanguan.Agad naming ti
