DILIM

Part 8

**

Someone's POV

"She might be wondering right now why Mariane died when she just stab her as a warning."

I smirked and took a bite of the cookies. The scenario a while ago flashes in my mind.

"Let her, she might get crazy thinking who killed Mariane, and of course, sooner or later, they will find out that she stabbed her." I uttered.

"You know what, I have a great idea. What if we kill yesha next? She almost ruined our plan."

I stop and paused for a moment. "We can't, she's actually a big help. Buti nga dumating sya, and now, they are suspecting her."

"But wait, sumagi lang sa isip ko, what if malaman nila na tayo yung pumatay kay Mariane? What if they will find out our identity?"

"We'll kill them then. But hopefully hindi nila malaman kaagad, cause it wouldn't be fun at all anymore. Though we should be more careful now, malamang magdududa na sila. Everyone can be the suspect. Kaya if kikilos tayo, kailangan nating mag-ingat. We should do our plan neat and clean."

"Hey, I know what our next plan will be."

I look at him and we both smirked. This will be so much fun. I wonder how things will turn.

— Few days later —

Nica's POV

I was reading my book inside the classroom when suddenly my phone vibrated. I look at it and saw an unknown number.

"Do you wanna know who killed her? Meet me in the old building. Hurry or you'll never know." - Unknown

Pagkabasa ko nun ay agad akong tumayo at pumunta sa old building. Habang naglalakad ay napatigil ako dahil naalala ko ang nangyari noon nung huling pumunta ako sa building na yon. Bigla akong kinabahan at nagsimulang humiling na sana walang masamang mangyari. Pagkarating ko ay katahimikan ang bumungad sakin. Nagdadalawang isip pa akobg pumasok dahil madilim sa loob ng building, pero sa kagustuhan kong malaman kung sino ba talaga ang pumatay kay Mariane ay pumasok ako.

Napadaan ako sa isang room sa fourth floor at napansin ko na parang may tao sa loob. Hindi ko maaninag ang mukha niya dahil bukod sa nakatalikod sya ay madilim din ang room kaya ang anino lang nito ang nakikita ko.

Naaninag ko din na parang may papel na nakadikit sa pinto kaya naman ay lumapit ako para kunin ito.

"Nica"

Bigla akong napatingin sa likod ko dahil parang may tumawag sa akin. Paglingon ko ulit sa room ay wala na ang taong nakita ko kanina. Nagsimula akong kabahan kay naman ay dali dali kong kinuha ang papel at agad na umalis. Pagkalabas ko ng building ay tiningnan ko ang nakasulat sa papel.

"Open your eyes, she's just around you, the killer is hiding behind those curtains. Don't be deceive by her words, or else you will be next."

Bigla namang tumunog ang phone ko kaya dali dali ko itong kinuha.

"Do you really wanna know who is SHE? Well, I'll give you a hint. She's always around you. She doesn't like your favorite book. You know her, you know her very well." - Unknown

'No way... It can't be her.."
