I was walking down the road within the thick dark forest covered with tall, grand and old trees, the thick fogs scattered everywhere—blocking my sight to the far end of the trail, the surrounding screams an eerie ambiance making my system shiver.  Ang creepy masyado which is giving me goosebumps and I feel like hindi ko na kaya pa ang ganito pag nagtagal pa ako dito.

I roam around my sight and there I found myself with three strange creatures: one looked like a wicked witch with her ankle-length black dress, while the other two were half-bodied snakes—which I guess they were also witches or spell casters for they were holding some magic sticks or the so-called wand. Nakakatakot sila. The woman who looked like a wicked witch- well not totally, it's just that she had a very long hair—around thigh length perhaps, and she is wearing an ankle length black dress like a mangkukulam talaga. But she is the one whom I called by the name 'Nay Russiana'. Well I guess she may be my mom. I don't know. It just that I am unfamiliar at the same time familiar with them. It was like I was watching a movie where I was one of the casts.

Then the two half-bodied snakes appeared in front of me. I kept on screaming that I hid on my mother's back but she said they were allies, like as in kakampi. Ay malay ko po, baka kasi mamaya bigla na lang akong lamunin ng buo o di kaya ay paghati-hatian ng dalawang snakeee na 'yan.

Tapos maya-maya pa ay bigla na lang may mga ahas na dumating, ahas na as in super duper laki na parang anaconda. Huhu mother earth ayoko pang ma-deads. Wala pa akong jowa. Charooott. Pero ang mas nagpagimbal sa sistema ko ay noong makita kong palapit sakin 'yong stupid snake eww. Kainis baka i-dissect kita diyan ihh. Kidding aside, takot pala ako sa snakes.

Takot na takot na ako, jusko lord ayoko pa po matigok. Buti na lang iwinasiwas ni mudra yung wand n'ya tapos nag-chant ng spell—expelliarmus yata 'yon? Charing, hindi ko maintindihan iyong spell eh pero yeah naging crispy snakee na siya.

But then another set of snakes appeared which we badly had to fight against it because my mom already had spent too much energy so she can't cast a spell again. While fighting against the snakes—I mean running away and screaming like as if they would be scared by my scream,  I was bitten by a very, very small snake, something like a newly hatched snake.  langyang baby snakee to pinapak ako. Then I started crying, afraid that what if I die because the venom?

But to my surprise, the half-bodied snake said that I dont have to worry for it was not a curse because my blood tasted sweet and if it is a curse then my blood is supposed  to be salty. 

Luhh? Ang dami niyong alam ah.

I asked them to bit my wound or just let my blood flow for a reason that I am afraid that the venom might poison me but they refused.

" pwede tayong mahanap ng kalaban nang dahil sa dugo mo" iyan 'yong sabi ni half-bodied snakee sa akin.

So they decided to put me to somewhere that our enemies can't find me. In just a snap I fell asleep then the next thing I knew, I was in another forest but the ambience was lighter than that of where I came from.

I saw two men in black sitting beside me, one is wearing glasses while other one don't. Takte naguguluhan ang cute na si ako.

Who are they? At bakit ako nandito? Parang hindi yata ako safe dito eh? Baka mali 'yong kumpas ni mother earth ng magic wand nya?

"Who are you?" Ay taray bes englishero si kuyang naka-glasses. 

"Ah ahm" takte ano ba self isip-isip din. Takte ang lamig naman kasi ng boses n'ya para akong nasa loob ng ref or baka sa Antarctica. huhuhu holy mother of all chocolates help me.

"Why are you here?" tanong pa n'ya ulit sa akin.

"I don't know basta paggising ko andito na ako" iyon lang ang nasabi ko habang pinipigilan na huwag mangatog ang tuhod ko sa lamig, bakit naman kasi natatakot ako sa kanya.
