"Won't it be amazing? If you saw the world as if stilled for a second?"

THIRD PERSON'S POV
That late night... it was as if the world stop for the moment... the every living begun to stay still as if an animated object being slow motioned and come to a stop as one tune echoes in every corner...A lullaby that put everything to a spell.
Yet... no one will ever know except for the seven people.... that stood in a certain room, no one dares to move nor makes some sound, uncertainty, amazement, disbelief were written on their face.
Like some superficial being they view the world that came to a stop completely and completely impossible thing is now happening before their eyes.
"What the...."
JIGSAW'S POV
.... this is... the mist?
"What the...." hindi makapaniwalang sabi ni Hawk
"Wa-what's happening?" litong tanong ko.
"Why doesn't it have sounds?" napatingin kami kay First na syang gagalawin sana ang ear muffs sa balikat nya at ilalagay sa tenga nang magsalita si Eye.
"If you want to forget.... Get that on your ears..." seryosong pagkasabi ni Eye... "This is the Mist..." hindi na nag-abala na magpaliwanag si Eye tungkol sa Mist dahil kasalukuyan na tog nangyayari.
"..... Do-Does this..."
"The Mist is always unique... it's always different from one another for one always give different commands" walang emosyon na mababasa sa mukha, mata at pananalita ni Eye. Nakatigin lang sya sa mga monitors... "This means... kahit na ipagkalat nyo lang ang mga nangyayari ngayon... they will label you as a person that's lost his sanity..."
"This way... they may retrieve their memories right?" pagtatanong naman ni Don Felix.
"That's not going to happen.... Do you really underestimating the technology today? If I want it... I could turn this while world into my property..." napanganga ako sa sinabi ni Eye.
Pano kaya kung naging evil scientist si Fyn? Edi nasakop nya na ang buong mundo at kaya nyang payukuin ang lahat sa kanya? wait... Kahit naman ngayon kaya nya yung gawin eh!
"Now.... do you understand who am I?" humarap sya samin... she put up her right hand in front of her in close fist... "I'm a freaking time bomb... with the capability to put this world into much chaos if I wanted... I guess... I'm like the Pandora's box... like all evil can be me..." binuksan ni Fyn ang kamay nya na mayroon palang hawak na papel at nalaglag yun.
"...."
"If ever you want to be someone who's never been born... just try me...." she's not... kidding. Her face's saying she's dead serious.
*My lady... the project was successful...* pagrereport ni Chavis.
"By how much?" pagtatanong ni Fyn at humarap sa monitor at tila parang walang nangyari na nagpatuloy na sa paggalaw ang tao...
*99.99 percent. And 99.99 percent sure... including the people out on space...* wow... wala talaga silang pinatakas?
"Thank you Chavis".... tumingin uli sya samin.... "Okay... now..." huminga sya ng malalim.
sfx: phone vibrates
Dahil sa tahimik ang buong kwarto ay rinig na rinig namin ang pagvibrate ng phone ni First.
"...." center of attention sya ngayon... "...thanks..." bulong ni First at pinatayan nya lang to.
".... thank you... all of you...." pagyuko pa ni Eye...
"Wait... what story did you use to cover it up?" pagtatanong nung Ender.
"... terrorist attack... main culprit, the First Empire.... since naligpit na naman ang lahat " tumango nalang kami... the old and the new... how cliché... "368 dead, 698 injured, 143 missing... 50million... those are the casualties for Philippines....".... that is to be expected any way... napagulo nalang ako ng buhok at napabuga ng hangin ng malakas.
"Fyn..." nagulat kami sa ginawa ni Andrew...
sfx: Slaps
"..... o_o" lahat kami...
"Stupid idiot...." rinig uli naming sabi ni Andrew bago yakapin si Fyn "Stupid..." hinalikan nya ang ulo ni Fyn habang nakasubsob ito sa kanya at maya-maya nakarinig na kami ng hikbi mula kay fyn.
".... *sobs*....." napaiwas nalang kami ng tingin at ang maririnig nalang ay hikbi ni Fyn. I dont know how much she cried or for how long they stayed like that... But I know it's just right how Fyn was right now.
Kahit na nandito kami, kahit na sinabi nya na dadalhin rin namin itong nangyari, ang totoo si Eye... si Fyn lang talaga ang nagdadala ng lahat... ang pagkamatay ng milliong katao daldalhin nya yun.
ANDREW'S POV
Inuwi ko nalang si Fyn sa bahay... hindi ko alam kung anong klaseng istorya ang ginawa nya, pero siguradong pagod sya.
"...." naupo ako sa gilid ng kama nya...
Stressed, exhausted.. basta mukha syang pagod na pagod... halata rin na wala syang tulog man lang at pahinga.
"...." i took a deep breath, napayuko sandali at tumingin uli sa natutulog na si Fyn... I reach for her hand at mahigpit na hinawakan yun... "I took care of them..."..... "So please...." napakagat ako ng labi at oinigilang umiyak... "stop being so irresponsible with your life...." gusto ko sumigaw pero pinipigilan ko lang, gusto ko syang sermonan pero hindi ko magawa, gusto ko syang batukan, ipamukha sa kanya kung gaano sya kabaliw.
"Aist.... I'm going to give you a good scolding when you get bettet... I swear.... my god Fyn.... are you going to kill me?" ang bigat na ng dibdib ko at hindi ko narin mapigilang hindi umiyak... hinalikan ko ang kamay nya at napapakagat labi nalang habang nagpipigil parin ng iyak... "Kung nakikita mo siguro ako... pagtatawanan mo ako... God Fyn..." impit na sabi ko, ayokong gisingin sya... "Bakit lagi nalang kitang iniiyakan? Can't you be more of a good girl?"
"hhaaaaa...." napabuga ako ng hangin at napayuko nalang.... "How can I help you... Fyn?" paghikbi ko sa kanya at hinawakan ang kamay ng dalawang kamay ko at mariing hinalikan yun bago ipatong ang baba ko sa mga kamay namin at pinagmasdan sya...
"...." ngumiti ako ng pilit pero patuloy parin ang pag-iyak ko... I promise to protect and help you but how can I do that Fyn?
