The water is way too deep for her,
A place she can't escape, not even stir.
If not only for the drive for revenge,
She will not resurface again.
The forest is an endless maze for him,
A place he knows he must not miss.
He will hunt for as long as it...

Chapter One
LYA
Have you ever experienced as if someone is staring at you in public places?
In an instant I felt a shiver rush my body, at napahawak ako sa batok ko nang parang may umihip na hangin roon. Lumingon ako sa likod ko at sinubukan hanapin kung mayroon bang nakatingin sa akin. I try to find the source, pero kumakain ako ngayon sa labas, at sinuman ay maaring makakita sa akin. I may feel silly being paranoid right now, but instincts never go wrong.
I went back to eating my lunch and tried to dismiss this feeling as I can. Halfway through my meal, my phone buzzed a notification from Valerie. Binuksan ko yung message niya at nakita kung anong oras ba raw ako babalik, followed by a meme.

I hate it when she calls me ma'am.
Valerie was my first hire. She insisted to be my apprentice after I sell my first painting at a gallery in Taguig. Sabi niya, ngayon lang raw siya nakakita ng ganung klase at style ng pag-pinta. I paint a mix of surrealism, realism, and photorealism. If you mix three, it was really hard for the viewer to grasp the story of the image. Sabi ng iba, it made them feel nostalgic when staring at my work. Yung iba naman, ay para bang napanaginipan raw nila yun noon.
Valerie on the other hand, sees chaos. One corner looks beautiful, but if you moved your eyes onto the other side, or even think deep about it...it shows the ugly truth.
Instantly, I knew I liked her. Tinuruan ko siya ng mga techniques ng pag-pipinta kahit na isa rin siyang Fine Arts student noon. Her skills also made me agree for her apprenticeship. Now a freshly grad, I offered her to work for me. I didn't just get an assistant, I gained a friend as well.
