Yzabel's body started to shiver. She can barely even stand but she made sure she wouldn't fall.

"Bakit? Bakit nag kaganito?" She asked herself as she whimpered and tried to walk.

"Yzabel~~~~" A familiar voice called out for her.

"No, andito na sila. Andito na sila." She whispered as she tried to run but eventually fell to the hard and cold pavement.

"Wag ka ng tumakbo."

"Wag ka ng lumaban"

"Wala ka ng magagawa"

"Talo na kayo"

Yzabel tried to stand stood up again but her body is too weak to do so.

She heard the footsteps coming towards her so she started to crawl towards the door.

But she's too weak already.

The people after her were able to catch up.

They stood in front of her as they watch her struggle to crawl.

"Pathetic."

Someoe kneeled beside her and mocked her.

"Do you really want crawling as your last act as a living breathing human?"

"Hayaan mo na yan. Mamamatay na rin naman yan."

Yzabel could only cry in desperation.

"What do you guys want?" Alice asked Emz and Rowee.

"We want you dead. That's just it." Rowee replied smilling.

"Why?"  Jem asked, a little bit irritated.

"Would you explain to an ant why you're about to kill it?" Emz asked back while smilling.

"You don't right?" Rowee answered while she giggles

The two giggled again and spoke.

"We'll be back. By then, decide who will die next." They informed the group as they hop around as if playing and having fun.

The group looked at each other in despair.

"I know how to defeat Manisilat" Yzabel exclaimed, "But I need Abby and Sela to do it." Yzabel told the group as she held the knife.

"As for Rowee, she's Manggagaway and the book told us that to defeat her, we need to know what it means for the beginning is the end." Yzabel clarified.

"Wait, you know how to defeat Emz but not Rowee?" Sela asked Yzabel.

"Manggagaway is the first and strongest Agent of Sita. It is practically mankind's punishment. Manggagaway is the bringer of sickness and death." Yzabel explained as she watched the sick girls, "She doesn't kill fast, she kills slowly. Painfully."

"Focus muna tayo dun sa kaya natin, si Manisilat." Brei told the group.

"Diba, in order for us to kill her, the person needs to die first?" Dana asked.

"Baka may near death experience." Sheki added.

"Or baka may kapamilyang kamamatay?" Jem suggested.

"Someone who died and survived?" Abby asked, "That doesn't make any sense."

"It does." Yzabel answered, "It will make sense in time."

"We need to meet them outside, not here." Alice suggested, "Baka madamay ang iba."
