Midas' Touch [COMPLETED]

Chapter 44

Iminulat ni Kalonice ang mga mata. The room she was in was unfamiliar. Kaya bumangon siya saka tumingin sa paligid. Sakto namang bumukas ang pinto. Nakita niya si Octavius, kasama si Caedmon, at may kung anong pinag-uusapan.

Nang mapansin nilang gising na si Kalonice ay sumara ang kanilang mga labi at nanahimik. They approach her. Octavius gently sits beside her while Caedmon remained standing beside.

"Kalonice," tawag ni Octavius sa kaniya. She stared at him with lifeless eyes.

He gently brush his hand on her hair. "I know I shouldn't be asking this because it was my responsibility, but would you live with me? I want to take you home. I want you to use our family's name---"

"Nasaan po si Midas?"

Natigilan si Octavius dahil sa natanggap. Nangintab ang mga mata ni Kalonice. "Gusto ko po siyang makita at mayakap. Kailangan ko po siya. Please po, hayaan niyo po akong makita siya." Her voice cracked as she speak. She cried but no tears are falling down her eyes.

Nanikip ang dibdib ni Octavius at napatingin kay Caedmon na umiwas naman ng tingin.

"Anak," tawag ni Octavius sa kaniya. Their hearts melted.

"My daughter..." Muli, nayakap ni Octavius si Kalonice. Hindi ito gumanti sa kaniya ng yakap.

"I will protect you. No one can hurt you now. I will protect you, Kalonice. I will never forgive those who hurt you, even if it's Jarrah or the son of a friend of mine. I will never forgive them. You will never feel pain again but happiness. I will protect you. I will protect you, my daughter."

Ipinikit ni Kalonice ang mga mata. Napahagulgol siya at mahigpit na niyakap si Octavius. Marahang umatras si Caedmon at iniwan silang dalawa. Pinuntahan niya sina Ali at Francis na mga nakatulala at malayo ang tingin. Tinabihan niya ang mga ito, sinamahan at binantayan habang walang sinasabi.


Octavius left Kalonice for a while and went to his room. He called Larry. After a few ring, he answered it. He could hear rough breathing in the background, groans and moans. And he knows from whom it's coming from. No other than Midas.

[Yo, homie. Sorry if I answered your call late. I was kind of busy here. So, where's your daughter?]

"I exiled her." It was straightforward. Larry is not surprised at all. They are friends, they knew each other's demons and are friends with them too. He's not feeling sorry for Jarrah. If only he was evil enough, he would make her life a living hell until she finally get down there.

[That makes me so happy. My son is still alive, sadly. My parents said they couldn't be here, but they will try ASAP. Bet if you made it back here, your inaanak is in a casket already.] Tumawa pa ito na para bang wala lang sa kaniya na planadong-planado na ang pagpatay sa anak.

"Don't kill him, Larry. He's still your son. Remember, Gwynedd is pregnant. Let him go. I'm coming back with my daughter," seryosong lahad niya at huminga ng malalim.

[That will be better! I promise to talk to her sanely. But make sure to protect her, okay? My hands are possessed by some bad entity. I might smash her face with my son's head. What do you think?]

"You're crazy."

Larry guffaws at his remark. [Is that new to everyone though?]

"What I mean is Kalonice. I'm bringing my daughter, her, with me. And no, she won't meet your son. She doesn't know it yet. I don't know how to tell it to her. Shits happened and she might not contain it. So, keep your son alive until my daughter is well again. I will talk to him. Save me a piece of him."

[Wait. What---] He ended the call.


Octavius went our and knocked on Kalonice's door. No one answered so he went in. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, phone on her ear, reaching Midas out.

"Honey, we're leaving,"

Napatingin sa kaniya si Kalonice at naibaba ang telepono. Tumango ito saka siya nilapitan. Nasa labas na si Caedmon at hinihintay silang dalawa kasama ang mga kapatid ni Kalonice. Sasabay na ito sa kanila pabalik sa New York.

Buong byahe ay tahimik lang sila. Pinapanood nila si Kalonice na paulit-ulit na sinusubukan ang pagtawag kay Midas. She's flooding him text messages in his every social media account. Marahil nga ay umabot na sa libo ang kaniyang mga text at chat dito. Pero ni isa sa mga iyon ay walang sineen si Midas. Online naman ito. Bakit hindi siya nito sinasagot at nirereplyan?

She's so down, she's so low. She needs Midas to support her because she's starting to let her self fall down. But in their situation, when she's needing him so bad, when he's the one she needs the most, saka naman ito absent.



After landing, the press have caused stampede, trying to get a word from them. Kalonice was being squeezed by them, pero wala siyang maramdaman. She was deaf by their questions. The camera flashes don't blind her. Her eyes are dull, they are empty. At this moment, she's completely numb.

"Miss Montecristo, is it true that Jartah Lisieux is pregnant with Midas Yzaguirre's child?"

That question. That damn question made her stop from moving forward. The reporters took the chance and crowded her. She stares at the one who asked it, he was waiting for her response.

"Kalonice, don't listen to them. Let's go. Come on!"

Hinila siya ni Caedmon. He covered her at nagmamadaling lumabas ng Airport at pinapasok siya sa loob ng limousine. Kasabay ng pagbagsak ng kaniyang mga balikat ay ang pagbaba ng kaniyang ulo sa leather na sapin ng limousine

"Totoo bang buntis si Jarrah?" she lifted her stares up at them. "She's pregnant, so he dumped me."

"Kalonice, that's not true,"

Hinawakan ni Caedmon ang kaniyang kamay.

"Then, why won't he answer my calls and reply to my messages?" Tumingin siya sa kaniyang palad.

"Wht can't I feel anything?" Her palm held her chest. "I can't feel anything. Is there something wrong with me?"

Humigang pagkakahawak ni Caedmon sa kaniyang kamay. Octavius felt so heartbroken at niyakap ang anak.

Samantala, sa labas lamang ang tanaw nila Ali at Francis na walang imik. Their eyes lose their radiance and became dull and cold as well. He will seek help from Larry's sister. She's a psychologist after all. Tiyak na matutulungan niya ang tatlo na bumalik sa dati nilang mga sarili.


Nakarating sila sa napakagarbong mansyon. Gusto mang mamangha ng magkakapatid ay hindi nila magawa. Something made the fuse of their emotions shut down. Sa paningin nila ay walang kwenta ang lahat ng bagay sa kanilang paligid. Diretso lamang ang tingin nila, at kung makikipaglaban ka ng tingin sa mga ito ay manghihina ka. Tagos sa buto ang kanilang mga tingin na para bang tinitingnan ang iyong pinakakaluluwa.

Delphine stood in front of Octavius, tears streaming down her face. Nakaabot sa kaniya ang balita. Alam na halos ng buong mundo ang nangyayari sa kanilang mga buhay, kung ano ang sitwasyong kinakaharap nila. It started from the nurse that eavesdrop as Jarrah lie to Larry. Ikinuwento niya ito sa mga kasamang nurse na ikinalat naman sa social media. And that's how the fire rage on, spreading continuously.

"How could you do that to your own daughter, Octavius? How could you exile Jarrah from our family? Tell me why! Tell me why, Octavius! Why did you threw oue daughter out!?"

Sinalo siya ni Octavius nang siya'y natumba dahil sa sobrang kahinaan. Mahigpit na humawak si Delphine sa kaniyang mga braso at tumingin kay Kalonice.

"Is it my fault? Should I be sorry?" tanong nito na para bang isang robot na inosente sa emosyon ng isang tao.

She titled her head gently to the right. "Should I be sorry to you, Tita Delphine?" ulit niya at hinalukay ang katauhan ni Delphine mula sa kaniyang mga mata.

"Say, should I be sorry for taking her place?"

"Kalonice," Octavius called, "You have nothing to be sorry for. It is my decision. It came from me, so it's on me," aniya habang nakatingin sa mga katulong. They gave them the sign para asikasuhin ang kanilang mga bisita.

Sumama si Caedmon sa kanila at sila'y hinatid sa kanilang mga kwarto.

Umupo si Kalonice sa kama. Bumaba ang tingin niga sa cellphone na hawak niya. She's waiting. She's still waiting for his call.


"He's still alive, Gwynedd. He's still alive---"

Isang sampal ang napadpad sa pisngi ni Larry. Nasugatan ang kaniyang labi; dumugo ito sapagkat nasa tapat lamang nito ang tasang kaniyang iinuman sana habang nagsasalita.

Inilapag ni Gwynedd ang isang papel sa kaniyang mesa. Nabitiwan ni Larry ang tasang hawak nang makita ang stamp doon ni Gwynedd kasama ang kaniyang pirma.

"I'm divorcing you, Larry. This time, it's REAL!"

Nanlalaki ang mga matang tumingin si Larry sa asawa na mugtong-mugto ang mga mata mula sa walang tigil na kakaiyak nito.

"S-Sweetheart..."

"I, Attorney Gwynedd Al Qadir, will see you in court tomorrow. Bring your lawyer with you. I will sue you for physical child abuse and physical domestic violence. I will do that to protect my children from your psychotic tendencies, Yzaguirre! And if you will use force on me, I will sue you for abuse. And everyone in this house, including our families and friends, could be a witness that will prove that my accusations against you are true!"

Napatayo si Larry, hindi makapaniwala sa kaniyang mga sinabi.

"Love, let's talk this through, please---"

Before he could lay a finger on her, a dozen of shotguns are pointed to his head. He was frozen. Tumingin siya sa mga taong nasa kaniyang paligid.

The royal guards of Dubai.

He stared at Gwynedd who was glaring at him bravely.

"You made me do this. I pleaded and begged for your mercy. I cried a river, screamed 'til my voice became hoarse, but you didn't listen. Congratulations, psychotic engineer. Your family is now destroyed."

Nanginig ang mga kamay at labi ni Larry kasabay ng pamumuo ng mga luha sa kaniyang mga mata.

"Gwynedd... I'm sorry!"

Tinalikuran siya ni Gwynedd at sumama sa heneral ng kaniyang mga guwardiya.

"Gwynedd! Gwynedd, don't do this to me! Love, I'm sorry! GWYNEDD!"

Hinabol ni Larry ang asawa ngunit nagtuluy-tuloy ito sa paglalakad. Her royal guards stop him from making further movements but he persisted and made a way for his own.

The chase did not last for long, because when they reached the living room, NYC polices are in formation, pointing their guns at him as they protect his children against him.

Dumaan sa kaniyang tabi ang medics. Napaluhod siya nang makita ang kalagayan ng anak na siyang gumawa. Napamaang siya kay Gwynedd na taas-noong tumitingin sa kaniya ng masama. He slowly shook his head at her.

Desperate, he crawled towards her at nagmakaawa. Mahigpit niyang niyakap ang mga binti ni Gwynedd. Ayaw niya itong bitawan kahit na hinihila siya ng mga guwardiya niya palayo sa kaniya.

Umiyak ang kanilang mga anak. Sinubukan ng mga ito na lumapit sa kanilang nagmamakaawang ama ngunit dinampot sila ng mga guwardiya at inilabas saka ipinasok sa kotse.

"NO! NO, PLEASE! GWYNEDD! I'M SORRY! I'M BEGGING YOU, HONEY! DON'T LEAVE ME! LARZO! LAREON! CONTESSA! GWYNEDD, I'M SORRY! I'M SORRY! PLEASE, FORGIVE ME, BABY! SWEETIE, I'M SORRY! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Isinubsob ni Larry ang kaniyang mukha sa sahig habang nakahawak sa mga paa ni Gwynedd.

The guards pinned him down and removed his hands from her. Malayang nakapaglakad palayo si Gwynedd.

"GWYNEDD! GWYNEDD, NO! NO! PLEASE, NO! GWYNEDD!" Hiyaw niya ngunit parang bingi ang kaniyang asawa at sinamahan ang kanilang mga anak sa kotse.

Muling isinigaw ni Larry ang kaniyang pangalan at humagulgol ng iyak.

"GWYNEDD!!!"

"Good morning, Sir Lisieux,"

"Good morning too, Att. Pressmark," Octavius greeted back at umupo sa katapat nitong upuan.

"We have a problem about changing your daughter's name, Sir,"

The maids serve them tea. Octavius raised an eyebrow to him. "Why? What's the matter?"

May inilabas na mga papel. Inilapag niya ito sa kaniyang harapan ng magkahiwalay. "Along the process, we figured out that Miss Kalonice had another name. This was her original birth certificate, and the written name here was Octavia Montecristo. However, in the birth certificate she gave us has the name Kalonice Montecristo on it. Both are certified by the government. However, this birth certificate with the name Octavia was stamped in the Philippines, and the one with the name Kalonice was stamped here in New York."

Namilog ang mga mata ni Octavius na natigilan. Agad niyang dinampot ang dalawang papel at pinagkumpara ang dalawang ito sa isa't isa. The rest of the information given was the same, but thr only thing that differentiates them was the name registered on it.

"We concluded that Miss Kalonice might have a sister or a twin, but the document states that she was single when born. Can we call her so we could have clarifications here? The requirements needed for name change are complete and valid, however, this one is not. We will need to know the truth behind this one, and only her could tell it,"


Napahawak sa baba si Octavius at pinagmasdan ang dalawang dokumento. Biglang bumukas ang pinto kaya naman sabay silang napatingin sa kung sino ang dumating. Tumuwid ang likod ni Octavius nang makita si Caedmon.

"Sorry for the interruption, Ninong. I am leaving now," anito.

"No. Don't leave yet, Caedmon. Can we talk to you? 5 minutes. Please lend us your time." Pakiusap niya at ipinagsama ang dalawang papel.

Napakurap si Caedmon. Pumasok siya at umupo sa tabi, sa pagitan nilang dalawa. "Is there something I can do?" aniya at umupo ng maayos. Tumango si Octavius at iniabot sa kaniya ang mga papel.

Caedmon looked in his eyes before accepting them. Natigilan siya.

"Do you know anything about that? Octavia and Kalonice, which of them is her real name?"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Caedmon at namutla. Napatingin siya kay Octavius na seryoso, bago sa attorney nitong nasa kaniyang kanan. Siya'y napalunok at muling tumingin sa mga dokumento. Sa sobrang pammamawis ng kaniyang mga kamay ay nabasa ang hawak niyang mga papael.

Nailapag niya ang mga ito sa lamesa at nailagay ang mga kamay sa mukha.

"Can we... Can we talk about this privately, Ninong?"

Nagtinginan sina Octavius at si Pressmark. Tumayo ito at nagpaalam. Hinintay nilang makalabas ito.

"So, you know the truth about this, Caedmon?"

Caedmon nodded. "Yes. Yes, Ninong. I know, because I was with her when she changed her name before..."

Octavius was speechless. They look at each other's eyes deeply.

"Tell me the truth. I want to know the truth behind this why, Caedmon. Please."

Muli, tumango si Caedmon. Maybe it's time to share all the things he knew about her. He has the right too, because he was her father. But in his perception, what he's about to do is just passing the burden he had been carrying for years in Octavius's shoulders.



Matapos maghilamos ay hinarap ni Kalonice ang sarili sa salamin. The sectoral heterochromia of her right eye came out, and the edge of her right lip arched.

"How's your life going, Kalonice? Finally numb?" tanong ni Octavia na nanunuya. Walang isinagot si Kalonice.

She lift her right hand and touch the left part of her face.

"There you go. That's what you get for stealing my body. Have you learned your lessons? So bitter, ain't it?"

Iniwas ni Kalonice ang mukha nula sa kaniyang kamay. Natawa si Octavia.

"Kalonice... Kalonice is a personality too, Ninong. She was not the owner of that body but Octavia. Edana, Nisa, Sui, Hate, Wych, Anastachia, and Kalonice, all of them, they are all personalities," Caedmon revealed. It almost gave Octavius a heart attack.

"I'm not surprised to know that he's my father. It's so obvious. Just look in my eye. I got it from my Daddy." Mahinang tumawa si Octavia at pinasingkit ang mata sa salamin habang malapad ang pagkakangisi. Nanatiling walang emosyon si Kalonice na nakatitig sa kaniya mula sa salamin.

"Kalonice was the very first personality that her mind made, followed by Edana. It is impossible for a good personality to be made because of the environment Octavia was in, plus the fact that her mother was abusive, the personalities that is obviously could be made are Wych, Hate, and Edana. Although Edana is more on defending her self and standing for her self, she also have violence tendencies that could result to murder,"


"I heard that Jarrah was pregnant?" Ngiti ni Octavia na sinusubukan si Kalonice. "You have no idea that they are cheating behind yiur back, ain't you? Bitch, I do. As you lie asleep, travelling in your sweet, sweet dreams, my consciousness was awake. They fucked each other while you were sleeping on his birthday. Right beside you, they are fucking each other..." pang-uudyok niya pa lalo. Doon na nangilid ang mga luha ni Kalonice na siyang nagpalundag sa puso ni Octavia dahil sa tuwa.

"Kalonice believes that she was the owner of that body. She doesn't know that she was actually a personality too, she believe that Octavia is the same personality as Wych, so she tried forbidding her from coming out ever again before she went fly back to Philippines before. The same thing goes to the rest of her personalities. They believed that Kalonice was the body's real owner, believing that Octavia is the most dangerous personality among them. But they are wrong, because Octavia owns that body, and she has the power to kill them all from her mind."


"Painful, isn't it?" Pinunasan ni Octavia ang kaliwang pisngi. "Don't cry. I will relieve this pain for you. Take it as my parting gift for you. You're dying, anyway."

"Octavia... Octavia is also known as Nymph, the known and titled Patron of Pleasure and Torture. By day, Kalonice performs in my Uncle's bar. By night, Nymph will take over, haunting men and finding her prey,"

Octavia whispers, "Let me kill him for the shit he put you through, Kalonice. I will kill Midas for you."

Umiiyak at takot na takot na tumingin si Caedmon kay Octavius at sinabi, "S-She's a serial killer, Ninong. Octavia... Octavia is a murderer. And I've been helping her ever since then."

"Don't you ever touch him, Octavia! Huwag na huwag mong sasaktan si Midas! Huwag na huwag!"

"She confessed to me before. When her mother sold her to a foreigner for the very first time, she killed him. She killed them. She killed him and his men. A week later, their deaths was found but they never knew who the killer was. Octavia came back to her mother like nothing happened, acting like a sweet daughter to her. Like a sweet, so innocent daughter..."

"Why not, Kalonice? Why not?" Painosenteng tanong ni Octavia at pinigilan ang sarili mula sa pagtawa.

"No one ever knew how Kalonice was made, not even Octavia. She told me that she came out all of a sudden. Then, her mother tried selling her to a foreigner again. Octavia killed for the second time. And until now, his body was still missing. It was never been found. The cycle goes on until Edana came out, escaped from another buyer, claiming that she was Kalonice's first personality to ever come out. Octavia was so mad, because she failed to kill the men because of Edana's escape plan."

"I swear to god, Octavia! I swear to god! Touch Midas, just lay a single finger to him and I WILL KILL YOU!" Pagwawala ni Kalonice.

Tumaas ang kilay ni Octavia. Ilang saglit pa ay siya'y natawa.


"She told me that her mother brought a man to their home. He was Ali and Francis' father. He molested her. She told it to her mother but instead of helping her, she didn't gave a fuck and watch her live-in partner rape her. I-I was not her first. Octavia told me that she was raped by him. But to Kalonice's memories, that happening was not recorded. She never knew that the man existed. All she ever know is that Ali and Francis are her mother's adopted children too."

"Kill me, really?" Dumura si Octavia sa katapat na lababo at tiningnan sa mata si Kalonice.

"He raped her countless times. She could not have the chance to kill him because he always tie her. Until one day, when Ali and Francis are old enough, she ordered them to free her. Innocent, they did. And that day, when the man came back home after gambling, Octavia murdered him. And her siblings witnessed it happen. But they  probably couldn't remember it. Maybe due to extreme trauma, or because they are way too young that they haven't developed their memories yet."

"Why would you kill this body's owner, Kalonice? Are you stupid?"

Lumaki ang mata ni Kalonice at natulala.

"Fast forward to when we met. A girl approached me named Octavia. She was already wearing her mask because she wanted to hide her real identity. We played, it was fun, we are both thrilled, not until she tried to kill me during our sex. That time, I was so scared. I asked why she tried stabbing me, but she refused to answer me and leave with a smile on her face."

"W-What are you saying, Octavia?" utal ni Kalonice na pinagpapawisan.

"Months after that, Kalonice approached me, needing my help because her mother was sick. She offered her body to me. I refused. But she showed up in my Uncle's bar. I was distracted by the color of her eyes. It was the same as yours. I asked her what she was doing there, but she wore her mask. And I found out that she was Octavia, the one who tried to kill me. "

Malakas na tumawa si Octavia. "Don't play dumb, Kalonice. Don't play fucks with me. The same shit won't happen ever again anymore. Never!"

"She tricked me. Octavia tricked me. She told me she wanted to talk with me, so I followed her to my Uncle's bar's second face, the underground club for hooking and thrills. She tied me, seduced me, tortured me sexually as she tell me her entire story. I thought that she would finally kill me. It was---hell. There was pleasure in her sexual torture. It drove me crazy. I am so ashamed because I begged for her to stop, I also begged for her to make me cum."

"Don't fool me, Octavia! This body is mine! MINE! What are you saying!?"

"Octavia hated men. She uses her body to lure them. The men she played with before was never found ever again, some are found but dead. I don't know how she do it, but I did everything I could to cover her. I was her pet. I was scared of her. I know what she can do. She kill so neat. She could make it look like everything happened due to accident." Caedmon broke into tears and covered his face. Octavius is now barely breathing from everything he have heard. It was hard to process. He don't think he could absorb them. He cannot.

"That's why when Midas met her, I did everything to stop him from playing with her. I did everything I can to stop him because I know she will kill him. Ninong, I was so afraid that day. I want to scream for help, I was so hopeless, I want everything to end, but she monitors my every move and all I can do is obey what she tells me to do. I was so afraid because Midas was her next victim. I was so scared, Ninong! She will kill him! She will kill. Him and I can't do anything to stop it." Tumakas ang mga hikbi sa bibig ni Caedmon habang siya'y humahagulgol ng iyak.

"It feels so heavy because I will have to lie to Ninong Larry and Ninang Gwynedd once he was found dead. But when he made it out alive, I literally called all the Saints I knew and thanked them. He was the very first one that made it out of her room alive. He was the very first one... The very first one. I was so happy. Ninong, I was so happy that he made it out alive. He lived. And I don't know if Octavia, Nymph, spared him or what. I never knew her reason why she didn't killed him that day. But all I knew is, after that day, she never came out ever again. Kalonice told me they 'chained' her so she will never have the chance to use her body again,"


He paused for a whike to drink the cold tea. Then, he continued. "You triggered her freedom, Ninong. Octavia hated men. Seeing and knowing that Ninang Delphine was hurt, she freed her self from her chains and shackles and brainwashed her. I am sorry if I would sound rude, but it was your fault why Octavia is back. In addition of what Midas did,"

Octavius gulped. He didn't bother to wipe his sweats and waited for his next line as he tremble in fear and anxiousness.


Caedmon looked away. "All I can say is... Be careful and take care. You are now living in the same roof. Never let your guards down because in any minute, Octavia will attack you. I know she have her eyes set on Midas. She will probably find him and kill him. Don't tell her where he is. Inform Ninong Larry right away. Be on your guard, don't let Kalonice hold something that is sharp. The easiest way to kill is to slit a human's neck deeply. So, watch out, Ninong, and never walk alone."

Nangatal silang pareho sa sobrang takot. Octavius could hear his own heartbeat reverberating in his ears.

They jumped from their seats in surprise when the door opened. Agad silang tumayo at nagtabi, hinahanda ang mga sarili sa kung sino man ang papasok. At si Delphine lang pala iyon.

Naglayo silang dalawa, mga nakahinga ng sobrang luwag. Sila'y hinahapo at naghahabol ng hangin. Nagtaka naman si Delphine. Mula sa kaniyang likod ay sumilip si Octavia, naliligo sa dugo, at may malapad ang ngisi habant nakataas ang kamay na may hawak na duguang kutsilyo.

"DELPHINE!"

"NINANG!"

Puno ng takot na sigaw nila Octavius at Caedmon. Gulat na gulat ang kaniyang asawa. Sa isang kurap ay nawala sa likuran nito si Octavia. They are seeing things due to paranoia.

Octavius run to his wife and embraced her. His whole body is trembling and cold. Tumingin siya sa pinto. Inabot niya ang seradula nito at binuksan. Mabilis na nawala ang isang anino roon na para bang tumakbo.

Siya'y umatras palayo sa pintuan habang yakap-yakap ang asawa.


He's being paranoid. He's already seeing things. They are not safe anymore. He needs to think of a way on how to keep his eye on Kalonice's movements. Once they knew it was Octavia, they needs to evacuate before its too late.

They are now living with a serial killer and a psychopath.
