Sacrifice: I admitted myself to the hospital since I was bleeding and losing blood and I dangerously drove my motorcycle there. The last thing I remember was noise and chaos before darkness and echoes, then silence. I remember... Vaste, vide... I'm lost in darkness. Where am I? "V̜͕ͪ̉én̶̎eͥͨ̆z ic͎i҉̀...̝͗ͦͦ͞" Huh?

I follow to where the voice leads me, my legs sloshing through... Water? Am I in a cave? It feels like being in a flooded cave. Following the voice, I end up meeting a shadow in the darkness. Huh? Shadows only apear in the presence of light, like what Elisa told me. I don't remember being fucked up by a party or tricked into taking a drug.

You know her? And what do you mean we have to obliterate what's possesing a fucked up man who killed Auntie's fiance? The one who killed Elisa and Emilia's dad who they never met? The one causing the multiple disappearances? And the one beaten me up to a pulp? Why? Why not harm this dude who is completely nuts? I feel like fading. "I need answers! What does all of that mean!?" "Y͟o̿u'̣͔̾l̷̡͗̅l͕ ̾͟fi̒͏g̮ͪṳ͖̊̌͘r̞͘͜͠e͉ ͍iͣt͍̏͜ ̵̱̳ͭo̶̲͔̒ų̮̅̀̍t͙͆̚.̺̏" "Wai-" I woke up in a gasp. I'm confined. Before me are Elisa, Auntie, Papa, Leslie, the king and Henry? I understand my sister, dad, best friend and cousin and aunt being here. Why His Grace and Henry are here? Don't they have other things to do? "Hello, Lester. We meet again." "Yeah, right." "A certain person who is working at a graveyard was killed." Hand in mouth, they sacrificed their life because of me? Looking down at the white hospital cloth, I had to think for a moment that someone who keeps on kicking me out of the cemetary did a sacrifice. Their own life in exchange of my own. I lay my head and sighed, looking at the window. I feel like a huge weight is crushing my shoulders. Papa's disappointment on getting my fixes, my pissed sister, the fact I'm still in grief, my best friend's sudden and unexplained suicidal thoughts, my fear of being caught from being a rule-breaker, being near the brink of being caught because the king himself is here, the chaotic mess that sprouted? Give me a break, I might lose my head from this bullshit! Elisa is glaring and she looks pissed and disappointed. "You mad, bro?" "Nah, resting face." I don't remember Elisa suffering from RBF, but maybe it might be her makeup. Elisa is becoming more and more mysteriously distant. Yeah, often aloof, but never this distant. Auntie doesn't know about Elisa now, huh. Observations: I became extremely curious about Elisa Vatore. Cold and distant. The more I ask about her, the more Kat doesn't know, the more she is silent. Interesting. I'm a little astonished on how Kat doesn't know, so I asked why. "She doesn't share anything to me. If I try approach her, she'll be distant or if she isn't in a good mood, she'll hiss. Yeah, it does hurt a little being aggressively hissed at by your own child, but it seems she isn't well lately. She is still having very high grades, but I'm worried about her well being. Something isn't right lately." Hmmmm... Emilia, Leslie and a hospitalized Lester told me that Elisa likes animals and they also told me that her favorite color is black (It's obvious, obviously). I heard Emilia is scared of dogs. ¡Tengo una idea! How about I shapeshift into a black cat? That way, I can sneak my nose to what's going on with Elisa. Yeah, I'll do that. I won't scare Emilia, and I would be let in Elisa's room. So one Saturday, I shapeshifted into a cat and meowed at the front door, fingers crossed. Elisa answered the door and I hear her say. "Awwwwww... Ang cuuuuuuute. Mooooom, may pusaaaaaa!" Kat approached and said "Wow, cute." "Can we keep it?" "Sure." "Yay!" I was rushed upstairs into a room filled with black. I can't tell if the lights were on or off, but it turns out they were on. "Isah! Alagaan mo, no?" "Opo!" I'm trying to figure out what language were they speaking, until "Watashi wa anata ni nani o nadzukemasu ka?" Was that... Japanese? This is indeed a multilingual household. I still can't figure out the first language they spoke. I saw a notebook left on the table, so I hopped onto the table and opened the notebook. ¡Dios mío! It seems like this is not a good start. "Looks like I'm always avoided right now. Is it because of the rumoured intimidation I have or is it because they assume I'm a demon?" That's hard to read. Elisa should improve her penmanship. I continue to flip through the pages. "There is a girl that kept on picking on me. Her name is Gretchel Lucien. She brought a knife to school even if that is not allowed. I was alone in the bathroom and she cut off my hair with the knife. She keeps on telling me that I failed being a demon and that I'm failing being a human. I'm not a demon and I don't like failing!" This is worse than I thought. I hear Emilia from downstairs, speaking a strange language. I don't understand what she said unlike the first language where the sounds are clear. This time, I can't wrap my head what they were saying. It's like.... I can't describe it. This is frustrating. It's sounds are so weird. From the tone of their voices, it seems like the twins are arguing. "Darren Donnatrich, I don't love him anymore. I don't have the guts to tell him. I waana say it's over, gusto ko nang sabihin na wala nang forever. But how? How do I break up with this freak?" Hmmmm... Why do I feel a connection to an acquaintance? It's like behind this mask of mystery, hides misery. Why is she hiding this to her own mother? I hear footsteps coming into the room, I jumped off the table and of course it was Elisa. "Ah! Bakabuklat notebook ko? Ating multo keni?" What was that? Weird. She looks at me and calls out with a "Wsswsswsswsswsswsswssss..." Maybe she's calling me? So I approached. "Ayyy nakuuuuu... Si Atching Emi talaga..." She pets my head very gently. "Looks like you're imported or something. You can't be fed with leftovers unlike back in the Philippines" Philippines? Huh... "I wanna run away. I can't stay here any longer. If only I was someone else." Why would you want that? Pains of Secrets: Elisa is getting colder and colder. It's reaching a point where I'm worried. What's the reason? Is it this fact I never told them, the both of them that they're demons too? I didn't know anything about stuff until now. I couldn't tell them because I don't know how to be a demon, don't even know how to use some of my powers. Now I have the knowledge, I don't have the guts to say it. Emilia might storm off and lock herself. Elisa might be more destructive and could cause trouble. I need help, even if my daughters, nephew and niece looks up to me like somone cool. I am not brave enough. I am not strong enough. I'm sorry. End of Chapter
