Crimson Lake. For all thats worth, I have always found this place a little weird and shitty. But now that some of its creepy history are starting to unravel and my perfect little world has started to shake, this place just got a lot more weirder and shittier.

I dont know how but I suddenly found myself standing on the farthest and darkest corner of the library with the new guy at school who may or may not be the definition of trouble.

"You dont know who you're messing with so stop seeking the truth." Mahina niyang sambit na para bang nagbabanta. Patingin-tingin siya sa paligid na para bang natatakot na may ibang nakarinig sa amin kahit pa napapalibutan kami ng naglalakihang mga book shelf at lumang libro.

"Thats the point, I dont know who killed and terrorized Joy kaya sinusubukan kong mag-imbestiga kaya pwede ba? walang basagan ng trip." Giit ko at tinanggal ang kamay niyang kanina pa mahigpit ang hawak sa braso ko.

"Mag-imbestiga?" Napasinghal siya at bahagyang tumawa, "Ano tingin mo sa sarili mo? Detective? Tamara, ngayon pa lang binabalaan na kita, The Crimson Ripper isnt a joke. This town has been dealing with a demon who has manage to evade the police for two decades, killing teenage girls and bringing despair in this little town. If he's out killing again, better be careful because you suit his victimology." Dagdag pa nito at tumalikod mula sa akin at para bang maglalakad na palayo.

The words he uttered already gave me chills, but the way he spoke as if he doesnt give a bit of a care to another person's existence is scaring me even more.

"Did you just threaten me?" Sarcastic kong sambit at agad na napahawak sa magkabila kong bewang.

"I'm warning you." Lumingon siya sa akin at muling humakbang papalapit, "Stupid people die first. Once the Crimson Ripper sets an eye on you, he will never stop until he brings you to hell. If you value your life, you would look away, pack your bags and leave this hell of a town. Consider yourself warned." Walang emosyon niyang sambit kaya muli akong umiwas ng tingin sa kanya at napalunok na lamang ako. 

This guy.

I have never met anyone as creepy as him.

He's breathing.

He's walking.

He's alive.

But its like talking to a lifeless person.

Does he even have a soul?

"W-We have to warn others." Hindi ko naiwasang mautal.

Sa sobrang lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko, hindi ko na magawang makontrol ang pananalita ko. 

I'm honestly scared though. And no, its not because of the serial killer bound to take this whole town to hell. I'm actually scared of myself and what goes on in my mind. Hindi ko kasi alam kung bakit napakalakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko. Gusto kong maniwalang kinakabahan ako sa maaring mangyari sa mga tao dito pero hindi ko maitago ang katotoohanang excited ako sa maaring mangyari kasi for the first time, may nangyayaring interesting sa lugar nato.

I have always loved thrills and mysteries. I have always seeked for them. And now its coming true.

Damn it, its a good thing no one can read my mind. For sure ang weird ko ng pakinggan.
