"Let's go and see Mikaela first," Seryoso kong saad.

"Are we just gonna leave Andrew here?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Matteo.

I turned my back on them and started to walk away. "We can't carry his body. Hindi natin kaya kahit apat tayo. Ang layo pa ng lalakarin."

"We can't just leave-"

Pinutol ko agad ang sasabihin ni Matteo. "The killer is still out there, waiting for a chance to kill us. What do you want? Let us all get killed here? This tunnel is not safe, kahit may weapons tayo mas kabisado niya ang lugar." I shrugged my shoulders. "Who knows kung ano pang trap na nandito?"

"Tama si Sera. Ayaw ko rin naman iwan si Andrew dito pero dapat muna natin isipin yung killer." Pagsang-ayon ni Zora.

Pagod na sumandal si Maya sa pader. "We didn't even know where to start. We have no clues at all."

"That's why we will start to keep looking now." I crossed my arms on my chest.

I need to step up right now. Hindi na talaga ako natutuwa sa mga nangyayari. The killer fooled Andrew, baka pati ung gate kalokohan lang din.

"Me and Maya will check Mikaela's body. Siya ang target sa screen, malay natin may maiwan na clues doon ang killer. That killer might always execute the plan perfectly, but I still believe that he or she will still make a mistake."

"Paano kung hindi siya magkamali?" Zora asked.

"Gusto ko pa rin maniwala na magkakamali siya. Kahit 0.1 percent glimmer of hope lang papatusin ko pa rin. I won't give up, hindi ako papayag na manalo siya sa laro niya." I took each one in turn. "Let's carry this out. Let's beat that killer at their own game.

"You said that you and I would check Mikaela's body, so you're suggesting the four of us split up?"

I firmly nodded. "Yes, mas mapapabilis tayo. Zora and Matteo will find clues or any hints about the gate. Let's just guard each other's backs. Sumigaw kayo ng malakas kapag kailangan niyo ng tulong."

They exchanged glances before nodding at the same time. I took that as a sign that they agreed with my plan. Kailangan namin ng mas matinding team work at tiwala sa isa't isa. We need to get out of here. Hindi ako makakapayag na hindi makaganti sa mga ginawa niya sa mga kasamahan namin. Kahit saglit lang kami nagkasama dio, naging mahalaga na rin naman sila.

"Okay, let's beat the hell out of that killer." I said before I led the way. I don't feel any fear right now. I just knew that I was mad and ready to kick whoever that fuck out.

We made our way out of this tunnel. Adrenaline raced through my veins, making me feel so brave right now. Wala akong nararamdaman na kahit anong takot o kaba. Gusto ko na matapos 'to. Hahanapin ko siya at sisiguraduhin kong pagsisisihan niya ang lahat ng ginawa niya sa'min.

Nang makalabas kami ay nagtanguan kaming apat bago naghiwalay. Sila Zora at Matteo ay sa labas unang naghanap, habang kami ni Maya ay dumiretso sa library para matignan si Mikaela. I knew what happened to her but I was still quite surprised when I saw her lifeless body on the floor.

"She lost so much blood." Was all that I can say.

"Yeah right, compared to Lucas this is much worse." She walked closely to Mikaela's body and kneeled beside her. "The killer even twisted the knife inside. Sinigurado talagang mamamatay si Mikaela."
