51 - Consumed

His plan to become a teacher in this village seems to have been vague. He smiled bitterly and let out a sigh. Even though he was sulking because no Frahisto had come, he had to keep going. One day, the demon will also pay to kill his uncle. Not now but he knows that the karma they say will come.

He was wearing a jacket and hat. He was also very careful and looked around. From the time he was with Frahisto on their run when they were in the woods and being chased by their Mayor's staff, he seemed to have a sharp sense of humor as well. He becomes alert. It was about five in the morning and there were very few people on the road. Some open small shops, fetch water, exercise and others go to farms and paddy fields which is one of the only products in their area.

He turned quickly. She had a feeling there were eyes staring at her. She glanced at his hand which now began to tremble.

Okay, listen Odessa! You’re a goddess and the goddesses, ‘tis just scary. You have to leave. We cannot approach the Police and they may not be trusted. It is said that of Frahisto; Never trust someone. Okay, calm down. Let's just calm down ...

He hurried to the terminal. He will still ride the Van; their only transportation to go to the City. She can’t afford to fly an airplane so she will board the ship again — even though she became phobic after the ship sank but she doesn’t have any choice. It’s either he wants to get away alive or he wants to die in the province.

He took a deep breath as he boarded the Van. He has two trips. When he arrives in Pagadian City, he will take a bus to Ozamis. Then get a ticket to go home. He calmed himself for a moment and looked around, nothing suspicious. He leaned weakly and began to be consumed by sadness and pain again.

Extreme speed of events. To this day, he still can't believe that this is what happened to the man he considered his father. He thought that the bad people in their village were exhausted but he was wrong.

Due to his lack of sleep and wakefulness the previous day, he immediately fell asleep when the car left and they continued to travel. Odessa only woke up when the van suddenly stopped in the middle of the road and far from civilization. The surrounding wood is good and the road is paved.

“What's the matter brother? Why did we stop? ” What's the matter brother? Why did we stop?

“The tire exploded, Ma’am. Excuse me passengers, let's fix the tire. ” Blow the ghead, Ma’am. Sorry to all passengers, we'll just fix the tire first.

He nodded and sat up. The surroundings were quite bright and he barely hugged himself. Weird. He felt, there was something around so it happened, he became un-easy in the seat. He was restless. There were a lot of them in the van and in fact, they were still crowded. All it takes is to make them sardines inside.All of them, let go first and fix the rusty van first. The car itself will be scared when it sees the Junk Shop because it might weigh. In case they have an accident, they will not die by accident ... Of tetanus.

He was coming down exactly from where, a black van stopped. Immediately his chest twitched! He really felt different. She was even more surprised when three men she knew well walked out! Your man killed his Dad!

"Ha!" He suddenly backed away and was confused as to what to do. Is it here yet? Will he die here? Will he be next ?!

"Goddess Elairon ..."

She screamed when a man grabbed her arm and pulled her out. His fellow passengers calmed down with the driver, but when they took out their guns ... Everyone was speechless. They crowded in and were scared.

“Take her! Put that woman inside the van. ”

He immediately struggled. “No! Let me go! Let me go! ” He pulled his hand away but a man gripped his arm tightly. I think his bones would be broken by what he did. "What! What is my father's fault with you, huh ?! He said let me go! ” He kicked both thighs of the man and crushed him in extreme pain.

He had a chance to get out of here and escape. She twisted her leg to run but a man pulled her hair and hit her hard. The passengers with him shouted and crowded to one side. The children with them in the Van began to cry.

"Will you go well or all of them, next to your old uncle?"

“What? You shop. ”

She bit her lip so hard and tears slowly fell in her eyes. The slap the man gave was painful and apparently numb his cheek.

"Take her."

She could do nothing but obey the man who violently pulled her arm. The grip was tight and his small arm would probably break with his big hand. They dragged him away and no one dared to help him.

“W-what do you need from‘ me ?! P-you killed my Dad! You have no heart. We are not at fault for you— ”He was overcome with pain when the man with the mustache squeezed his arm.

"Quiet!"

It finally put him inside the van. He was in the middle of two men with little movement, it would cost him death. It doesn’t seem to be able to bring these ‘em to the simple pity he will do. While the other one, the vehicle was in front and without a word.

"Where's Fortocarrero?"

He was stunned when the man next to him aimed his revolver at his head. He could feel the cold coming from the tip of the gun and Odessa would admit, fear consumed him at those times. He thought that he would be able to escape them when he left but they seemed to be just waiting for him to come out of his den.

"Answer me, woman!"

“I-I don't know! I do not know!"

He cried out even more in fear and panic when he turned the 357 Magnum Revolver he was holding and then pressed it to his head. Just a touch of it on the trigger, he's going to fall dead now.

“I’m asking you again. Where is Farhistt Fortocarrero? ”

He bit his lip hard and closed his eyes tightly. He did not know where the young man was. Even if he says he doesn’t know where it is, he knows ‘he won’t be believed. A series of sobs escaped his throat and in a moment, his own fear engulfed him.

Frahisto ... Where are you? B-why did you let me fall into the hands of your enemy?

"Kill her."

“No! H-no, please! ”

The car stopped to one side and the man who was driving himself refocused his caliber on him. There was no fear in its eyes looking at him.

“That crazy Fortocarrero killed our big boss and ruined every single illegal business we had. So, answer me, where is he ?! ” its loud cry.

He was stunned. She looked at the man in confusion and tried to absorb what was said. Frahisto is to blame but he and his Father paid? He laughed heartily in the back of his mind. What did Frahisto do with his life? In the life of the person close to him ?! Why are they affected? Why?

He shook his head one after another as tears welled up in his eyes. He didn't know where the hell the young man went! No text or call, no. Then, suddenly there are men like this and lightly set fire to their house just to find him the missing Frahisto? God! Oh, God. I think he's going crazy.

"Kill that woman. Useless."

“Wait! I-I know ... I-I will say that ... ”

He stared at her intently. The tip of the caliber was pressed harder on his forehead and it gave him a triple fear. "One lie, one bullet."

He swallowed hard and quickly wiped away the tears. He needs to play time. Yes, he was scared but to think that he would die like this? Not allowed.

"The last thing he said to 'kin, he's going to C-china ... Yes, China!" he shouted when the revolver rang. Two guns were pointed at his head now and little by little, he would faint with fear. “He is in China for an assignment! Turn a secret assignment that ‘he didn’t say what it was. Please, please ... Let go— ‘don’t !!!” He froze when he touched the trigger of the gun.

Falling to one side the man pointed a revolver at him. It was hit by a bullet from nowhere, a big bike raced and blocked them. He was stunned and covered his head when the man on the motorcycle and wearing a helmet mercilessly shot the male driver. The target was in the head and with the force of the bullet's impact, the male driver's head was almost shattered and part of his brain spewed out.

He screamed loudly and did not know where to hide. She was almost terrified and her eyes were blurred with tears. He must have been deafened by the sound of the gun and almost fainted when blood gushed from his face and other flesh.

“Itang! Please help me! Itanggg! Help me here !!! ”

"You lied to us, bitch!" angrily the man next to him pulled his hair and beat him with the caliber it held on his head.

She was in great pain and could feel the blood flowing. He was too late to think when his body collapsed. But before he lost consciousness ... He heard the loud voice of Frahisto calling his name.

"F-frahisto ... B-why ..."



Odessa woke up with a headache and saw a different environment. I think he is in heaven. He punched his head in the head with a gun, with a bandage on it. He looked at his hand, there was an IV fluuid attached to it. He was dumbfounded looking at his hand and then he finally realized he was in the hospital.

What is he doing in the hospital? If he is alive, is the person who chased him alive? Are they gone? Will he not be killed? His Dad ... His Dad that burned down with their little house. She started to get excited and tears kept falling.

She winced when the door opened. He was immediately pushed to one side and closed his eyes. “P-please! H-I don't know where Frahisto is! I-I don't know! ” he began to become hysterical with fear. He could still hear the gunshots and could feel the sticky and reddish blood splattering on his face and body.

“Odessa! It is me, Frahisto. ”

“I don’t even know where he is! Nothing! Let me go! Let me go! H-I don't know where he is. No no..."

It gave him a tight hug as he, still lost and struggling to get away. Suddenly his eyes turned to blood all around and he could still hear gunshots over and over again. Her cries grew louder and ended in sobs. Afraid of one's own life!
