Prologue

Trigger Warning!

Contains scene that may trigger your inner demons.

" Yssani! I'm home I brought some macaroons" I shouted as I enter our kitchen. I can't wait to see Yssani reaction when she seees this. It's her favorite. It's my way of saying sorry for not so interacting to her these past few days. I'm always busy with trainings. I'm really training hard to be able to defend myself and my sister in case if something bad happen to us.  I can't afford to lose my sister I already lost my parents. Simula noon kinupkop na kami ni Tito Ben. Dahil siya nalang ang natitira naming kamag anak.

She always nags at me to go out of the country. Which is we can't because Tito Ben wouldn't allow us. Plus we're both minors. I'm still fifteen and she's like eleven turning twelve in two months.

I finished drinking my glass of water when I decided to go upstairs. Siguro nanonood na naman to ng k-drama. I really don't understand it. It's too cheesy for me. I've seen one of the scene she showed to me. Grabe ang pagpilit ang ginawa niya para lang sa favorite scene daw niya. There was this girl wearing a sparkly pink dress who is sitting in front of a mall hugging her knees because it was too cold and it's raining. Then a man suddenly stood in front of her. He offered an umbrella and he extended his arm towards this girl. And Yssani was like screaming. Nakakakilig daw. I really don't understand. Is it necessary to scream? She said it was so romantic. But it's too cringy for me. Like it doesn't exist in real life. It's unrealistic.

I stopped halfway to my Yssani's room when I heard a laugh from Tito Ben's room. As I come closer, the more the laugh becomes clearer to me. And it was Yssani's laugh. It was the kind of a drugged person laugh.

What is she doing at Tito Ben's room? The last time I checked takot siya kay Tito. When I was about to twist the doorknob. A moan escaped from someone. I heard a thought that made me see black. Someone I trusted. Someone I entrusted my life and my sister. My hand is shaking. I couldn't think of any reasons.
