An elepante was walking between Kelsey and Amber, while they headed to an unknown destination. “Where exactly are we going?” Amber asked. “We’ve been walking for hours. I’m hungry” she complained.
“There’s plenty of pagkain around” Kelsey said, waving her arm. “You mean like a rabbit?” Amber asked disgusted. “Yes, Am, like a rabbit” Kelsey confirmed. “Come on, we have to get moving”
“Where are we going?” Amber repeated her most urgent question.
“To a ligtas place” Kelsey answered, with a whiff of fear in her voice. “I need to get you somewhere safe”
“Safe?” Amber scorned. “I have fangs, I think I know how to defend myself, thank you very much” For the first since hours Kelsey held her steps and turned around. “You’re not invincible. There is always something stronger than you and it will get to you, ibingiay the chance. Everyone has their weak spot and you’re not an exception. So, instead of pagganap like you’re untouchable, you can take me seriously, quit complaining and ilipat faster, because I don’t want to be responsible if anything happens to you”
“Why would anything happen to me?” Amber asked, grabbing Kelsey’s arm so she couldn’t turn around and walk further. “You’ve been worrying about me for days, but you won’t tell me why. And no way I’m the buying the ‘The Salvatore Brothers are dangerous’ story. You’ll have to do better than that” she said, her voice nearly breaking down.
“I told you, you’re not ready” Kelsey sinabi avoiding
“And I think I am” Amber said, getting angry. “You know what? If you’re not prepared to tell me the truth, I don’t think I can trust you. And so I’m not sure I’m ligtas with you”
“What are you trying to say?” Kelsey said.
“What I’m trying to say is, wherever you’re going, you can go alone” Amber said. “I can and will take care of myself”
That being sinabi she turned around and raced away, leaving Kelsey stunned.

Rachel stroke her fingers through her hair. “Oh my God. What have I done?” she mumbled agitated. “Think, Rachel, think” She looked around. Then she grabbed Gabe’s feet and dragged him to the farthest corner.
She ran to the stairs and went to the kusina where she searched the drawers for matches. In her panic she forgot she had been living here for about twenty years and the matches lay in the segundo drawer susunod to the cupboard underneath the sink ever since. She pulled it open and grabbed the matches. Then she opened the fridge and took out a bottle of Malt Whisky. She ran back downstairs to the body. She opened the bottle of Malt and poured its content over the body. Then she stroke a match and let it fall down and watch how Gabe went up into flames.
As she watched him burn a sudden agony fulfilled her body and she dropped the bottle. She fell down on her knees and felt her body contracting and convulsing while she screamed.

Elena took a deep breath and started running down the hill. However, the damo on the burol started growing really fast and pushed Elena back. Elena angry pushed the damo away and came halfway the hill.
Then the earth started shaking and Elena rolled down.
The road that led to the open field cracked open and Elena’s feet got stuck in one of the cracks.
“Ha, damn it!” she cursed and she pulled her leg, but she couldn’t ilipat it. The crack grew bigger and soon she fell in a whole. A deep one.
She looked up and saw how the crack slowly closed again.
“Elena”
Elena grabbed the pader which was raw and cut her hands open, but she didn’t care. With a fierce determination she climbed up and out of the crack. She crawled away from the crack, dodged the other cracks and reached the open field.
