As Lola Yma was making her way into the house, she could hear some rattling and shouts of struggle, which then became laughter and then roars.

“Lola Yma! Thank goodness, you are finally here! We are already at our wits end here trying to subdue her.” The person who just spoke was Buboy, the purok chairman. He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the big droplets of sweat on his face and forehead. His statement and sigh of relief showed his great confidence in Lola Yma’s skill.

“Is this her?” After she was brought inside, Lola Yma immediately noticed that a young woman was being held down by eight, however, even though they were putting all their strength in subduing the woman, all eight men were struggling to keep her down.

“Yes. She was brought here not too long ago. She’s a tourist.” Buboy told Lola Yma, his face now showing signs of exhaustion.

“Haaays. There is not a single month that goes by that no tourist gets possessed.” Hearing chairman Buboy’s words, Lola Yma could not help but release a sigh of annoyance.

“Mawi, come in here and help. Hold her head and prevent her from moving as much as you can. The rest of you, do the same thing!” Lola Yma then went into action and started issuing orders to Mawi and the eight people holding down the young woman.

While Lola Yma and chairman Buboy were engaged in their small talk, the young woman went through a cycle of shouts, laughter, and roars. Mawi, who had been silent and observing the woman could now clearly hear and differentiate the voices coming out of her mouth. The shout is obviously the woman’s voice, pain and struggle could be felt every time she shouts, and these are also reflected on her face. The laughter and roar, however, is clearly someone else’s voice. It is deep but raucous, once this voice comes out, the woman’s expression becomes sinister and full of malice.

When Mawi heard Lola Yma’s instructions, he immediately followed her words and held the woman’s head down, her face facing the ceiling. The eight men exerted more force to stop her from flailing around. Then at this time, Lola Yma took out three white feathers and placed one of them in the spaces between her toes. As soon as Lola Yma finished her action, the woman immediately stopped struggling.

“Everyone but Mawi, you may release her.” She instructed. However, she did not look at them because she had her eyes closed. When the men released the arms and feet of the woman, Lola Yma immediately started praying – no, chanting.

It was not loud, more like a whisper, but Mawi could hear Lola Yma clearly, though he does not understand the words coming out of her mouth. He also observed that while Lola Yma was chanting, a faint yellow light started to cover her body. Such a sight made Mawi blink in surprise, he looked around and noticed that the people around them did not seem to see that yellow light.

“Who are you?” Lola Yma finished her chant and suddenly asked a question.

“Why should I tell you?! You are not worthy to know!” An arrogant voice answered. If the people present were not looking, they will think that the voice came from a big person with a deep voice.

“Really? I am not worthy?” A sly smile appeared on Lola Yma’s face, holding two of her toes to lightly pinch the feather and then without warning she started to twist one of the feathers that was placed between the woman’s toes.

“AAARRGH!” A howl of pain was emitted by the woman, but the voice is a mixture of deep and shrill tones of voices.

“HAHAHAHA! DO YOU THINK THAT YOU REALLY HURT ME?!” The entity possessing the woman taunted Lola Yma.

“Oh really? You think I am playing games with you?” Lola Yma was not affected by the taunt, and twisted the second feather, repeating the same process as she did with the first.

“AAAARRRGGGHH!” Another howl of pain came out, this time, it is evident that it was suffering more.

Lola Yma, however, did not ask a question as she simply twisted the previous feather. Another cry of pain sounded.

“Now, do you think that I am not strong enough? If I wanted to, I could end your existence!” Threatened the old woman. The last words she said were uttered with such gravity that everyone in the room including Mawi felt a shiver down their spine. It was a threat not aimed at someone with a physical body but at someone who is a spirit!

“STOP! Stop! If you kill me, the girl will also die!” The entity sounded afraid but was also threatening Lola Yma with the life of the woman.

“That may be the case, but she will not know about it. However, you on the other hand will feel the pain I will inflict on you! I could also just torture you!” Lola Yma was not perturbed by the entity’s threats.
