Kidnapping!!! A heinous act that people have been doing for many years and various reasons! Money, revenge, fetish! It could be anything of the sort! It's one of the most unforgivable acts that violate human rights and also human law!!!

But the problem is...!

"My family don't have any money worth for ransom..."

Correct! The Monillas household doesn't have even the slightest cent to give for ransom! So It's not even worth It to take him and ask for money! More so, It's a waste of time and energy!

"So what's the reason for them to take me..."

"It's ya organs..."

As If a demon whispering at his tiny ear, a voice was heard. A husky tone indicates that he's a human male with deep intonations. Allaine followed the origins of the voice and figured that It came from the right corner of the prison!

"So there are other people here, thank god!"

All of a sudden, hope was filled at Allaine's heart! Hope! Happiness! Relief! To be able to find a comrade at this confusion is a bliss incomparable to any luxury in the world!!!

But as If to crush his heart filled with hope and blissfulness, he replied with huskiness and irritation along with the message on his words:

"I dunno when ya' got here coz I'm hafta sleep but since ya're already here... I already have one piece of advice for ya'... Just give up and die..."

At those words, an arrow was pierced at Allaine's heart... Turning down the hope, crushing the blissfulness, destroying the relief his heart felt at the moment!

It was turned to confusion, doubt, suspicion! The same thing he felt just minutes ago slowly, like a snake crawling to his backbone and spine... aiming to put venom and poison to his heart... It slowly... slowly... came back!!!

PANICKED!!! PANICKING!!! WILL HAVE PANICKED!!! As If the past, present, and past participle blending through his head, mind, and brain, he panics! Exhaling rugged breathing one after another, filling the room with tension once again!

Before he knew It, the voice that once gave him hope and relief is now gone! Surely he's a neighbor who is a prisoner too! That means he's not exactly alone and there's another cage beside him! BUT!!! The current Allaine Monillas is not capable of knowing and thinking calmly right now!

In a panic, he shouted and knocked wildly at the wall that separates the two cages in an attempt to bring back the voice that gave him relief earlier! He yearns for It! He yearns for It! HE YEARNS FOR IT!!!

Knocking, kicking, punching the wall of cement that's separating the two of them... But! It's fruitless! No voice came out! No relief!

"Wait, didn't he said... that those guys kidnapped me for my organs... Then that rumor about a white van kidnapping kids and butchering them to sell their organs... is true?!"

+++++

In the year 2009 and beyond, a famous story that got out solely because of word of mouth has spread! It's the story of a white van taking kids for their organs!

Kids and some teenagers don't do drugs, cigarettes, and other chemicals that bring harm to the human body's organs so they're the perfect vessel for fresh and bounty organs that will sell at a high price at the black market!!!

This is money! The power of money! Money can bring both harm and good! It can soil the human heart and most importantly, destroy the important things founded by humans! The fragile thing called relationships!

Knowing this new piece of information he got, he hugged himself and tightened his knees and thighs, avoiding the bars as much as possible by sticking himself to the corner that he once punched and kicked out of desperation...

"I don't want to die..."

Muttering these words filled with clinginess to life... He muttered them again as If struggling to make a point for himself...

"I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die."

Whispering these words filled with clinginess to life and dead eyes springing from his eyes full of saltwater and mucus... He continues to... DESPAIR!!!

The full bright moon has finally peeked through the foliage and tall trees blocking Allaine's view... But even as of this moment, he's still muttering the very words that show his desire to live...
