Secrets behind me

Darkness..

Coldness..

Where am I? Why is it so dark here? It feels so cold, I don't have any clothes.. I'm just tied up here..

I heard some foot steps and the door's opening.

"You," it's a woman's voice.

I can't see her face clearly, because of the darkness that filled the room.

"You need to suffer, because your acting dad is not important, so you're the one who will take responsibility for his own sins," she said and walk closer to me.

Biglang lumiwanag, nakakasilaw at kung magtatagal ang mata sa sinag nito ay may posibilidad na mabulag ang kung sino mang titingin dito.

"Who a-are you?" I said weakly.

"I'm the one who's going to curse you to death," tumawa sya na parang demonyo at dahil dun ay nakita ko na ng mas malinaw ang mukha nya.

Auntie Odessa...

She's my auntie, my father's younger sister.. and I've never expected that she'll be like this.. she's weird all the time.

"Auntie?" I said weakly.

Bigla syang tumawa nang malakas, nanlilisik ang mga mata nya na parang makapapatay sya sa kahit na anong oras.. and I've never seen her like this.

"Don't you dare call me Auntie! You're just an adopted child Nemo, and you're nothing to do with me but, let me make you suffer first." Adopted child?

"Why are you doing this to me Auntie?" No, I will not cry. I will keep my promise to dad that I will never cry.

Nakaramdam ako ng sakit sa kaliwang pisngi ko, she slapped me and its hurts. Sa sobrang lakas niyon ay halos mabiling ang kaliwang pisngi ko.

"I said stop calling me Auntie it's disgusting like you kid!" She shouted at me many times, she even pulled my hair while I'm crying.

I'm crying in pain, I'm crying because I can't keep my promise to dad..

Hinablot nya ako at itinayo tsaka kinalag ang tali sa paa't kamay ko, nakarinig ako ng mga hakbang—mabibigat na hakbang.

"Bring him to my room Entel," she said.

Naramdaman kong may humawak sa braso ko at dali-dali akong kinaladkad. It hurts, pero wala akong magawa kundi sumunod nalang.

"What do you want? To die or... to be cursed?" Kinilabutan ako sa boses nyang kakaiba.

"Why are you being like this? I thought you're good," I said while crying, I'm scared.

"Looks can be deceiving, Nemo. The good in outside is evil inside keep that in your mind kid" she said.

"A-am I going to die here? Are you going to kill m-me?" I can't even talk. I wish daddy will come and save me.

"Noooooo, I will not going to kill you but, I will make you suffer, so that you can pay for your dad's sin," she said.

"But I-I have nothing to do w-with that, you said that I'm just adopted child right? So Please let me g-go," pagmamakaawa ko.

"Oh little boy, scared? Hahaha tama lang na matakot ka, dahil kulang pa yan sa mga nagawang kasalanan ng tatay mo! At ano ako tanga para pakawalan ka? Never!" I'm scared.

Umupo sya sa upuan na nakatapat ko at kasabay nun ay ang paglaki ng mata ko sa gulat. She transformed! She transformed to a witch..

Witch...

"Stare at me all the time with that shocked eyes Nemo, you know what's your acting daddy's sin? Oh well, he just killed my daughter. He just killed my loving daughter, ang paraan para muli akong balikan ng asawa kong iniwan ako. Pero see? Kung anong ginawa nya?  Pinatay nya ang anak ko! She killed my daughter! At dapat lang na magdusa ang pinakamamahal nyang ampon dahil sa ginawa nya, mula ngayon... ako na ang mommy mo naiintindihan mo?" Natatakot ako, I don't know what to do.

"Hindi mo pa maiintindihan sa ngayon dahil bata ka pa, pero habang lumalaki ka ay maiintindihan mo na kung bakit ko ginagawa to Nemo. Iaalis kita sa lugar na ito at hindi ka babalik hangga't hindi ka pa lumalaki," she's really a witch, I want to punch her.

"At isinusumpa ko na walang sinumang babae ang makalalapit sayo, maliban sa akin at iyon ang pagdudusahan mo Nemo, walang babae ang makalalapit sayo dahil aakalain nilang isa kang delikadong nilalang na dapat nilang iwasan, you need to suffer BWHAHAHAHAHA,"

"I will make your eyes red, to make people think that you are an drug addict or what creature you are, I will not let you sleep at night, so you can sleep in morning. I'm good aren't I Nemo? And, I will make you suffer so you can't live freely because you were cursed. Cursed by the witch."

She pulled my hair and whispered to my ear..

"But for now I will make you sleep, because later on, you are not a typical human,"

And everything went black...
