"Fort?" I called him after hearing him groan. It was our sixth day being held by Chris. And our wounds were widely open. "Fort!" I called him again as I started to panic. Hindi siya sumasagot! Pati ang kaninang pag-iingay niya ay nawala rin!

"What the hell is going on here?!" Napalingon ang sa pintuan at nakita ang dali-daliang pagpasok ni Chris mula rito.

I gestured him to look at his' older brother's direction and said "He was groaning earlier. And now he won't budge."

Dahan-dahang lumapit si Chris sa kapatid at idinikit ang likod na bahahi ng kanyang kamay sa noo ni Fort.

I heard him curse as he slowly untied the chains groping his' brothers arms.

"I need to take him to my room and fix his' wounds mysel-" but before he could even finished, bigla nalang siya tinalunan ni Fort na kanina ay parang nang-hihina. He took down Chris and made sure he won't be getting up soon and picked the key. Tuluyan na pala siyang nakalas ni Chris.

He then ran towards me and unlocked my chains. And after doing so, I weakly hugged him.

"Tara na, he'll wake up soon." He reminded me at saka dahan-dahang inilibot ang kanyang kamay sa balikat ko, aalalayan akong maglakad.

We did not think twice of leaving the house but as we took a step outside, nasa gitna pala kami ng kawalan.

"Tara na." He said as he stared at the dim forest right in front of the house.

"T-teka nalilito ako. Akala ko ba nasa villa tay-"

"We moved location without the both of us noticing." He sighed. "This is his' cabin which had the same design as his' villa."
