"Layuan mo ako!" I screamed to the top of my lungs. Agad akong tumayo at kinuha yung pinakamalapit na stick. "Try to get near me now"

"Ate Marcy?"

I sighed. Akala ko talaga kakainin nako ng kung anong halimaw.

"Was that you?" nangingilig kong tanong.

"What's that?" nagtataka nyang tanong.

Grrrrrr

"That!" binulalas ko. I looked around me for any signs of mysterious creature habang mahigpit na hawak ang stick na kinuha ko kanina.

I heard Mabel giggle. "Anong ginawa niyo po?"

"I'm gonna find where that sound came from and end it's existence"

"Ate"

"Bakit?"

" There's no beast," pinigil niya ang kanyang tawa, " That was just my stomach"

Napatigil ako.

I laughed hard.

Nakitawa din siya sa'kin.

We look like monkeys laughing at my stupidness right now.

The beast was Mabel's stomach, diyos ko.
