Cold water was splashed on me as i was waken up to my unconscious state. Lifting my head, I could see an outline of a man, making himself blended through the dark. I look around and found myself in an abandoned cabin, the smell of trees and molds from the furniture any the woods are a little bit chopped to the edges.

I was in the middle of the forest with no cellphone and no signal on. It was already morning and I could hear the chirping birds around me. It feels like a normal day except I was kidnapped and will probably die.

Again.

I haven't even say my goodbyes to my parents, mostly to sebastian. I didn't want to end up dead and my sister, who only want me to loosen up, be stricken with guilt. They did nothing wrong.

My eyes got misty and a terrifying voice was soon heard and shivers made their way to my back. Tears rolling fast through my eyes as I bite my upper lips to stop it from trembling further more.

Cooing me with his voice, I feel like ants and bugs crawled up my skin and the look in his eyes were the same as before. His blue eyes makes his eyes more colder and the shivers that racked through my body was the evidence.

He was feral, a rabid crazed animal.

Obsessed with his sister and also, Sebastian.

It was just a question.

A question that make me stoned in my place as fear overtake my body. I couldn't believe it. He knows.

He knows.

And now, his relieving his making me remember again.

Memories, unwanted memories that became my nightmares everyday rushed through my head. I tried to stop it with my hand but I forgot that my hands and feet are bound together. Closing my eyes, I tried to stop it, my will against my mind.

"Liliana really is a beauty"

"Yes, she was the most beautiful here, her beauty was in par with the princesses maybe even more"

" Isn't her brother obsessed with her. Did you hear that his brother almost shot a man courting his sister. Can you believe it! Not only her sister but his best friend too"

It was the rumors that is currently spread here in our town. Although rumors are not to be trusted, I know "smoke won't be known if there wasn't any fire".

He was out of his mind when he heard he died, she, Liliana, however recovered herself. Although she looks pale and weak,it make other men see her in his fragile state as a way to protect her, to shield her from the pain and sorrow.

It was sickening to watch. How the men helplessly fell for her feet, his body hasn't even cooled down yet those shameless men tried to garner his fiance's attention. Not even respecting the dead.

I was in the market to buy fruits for my mother who is currently sick after the news was brought here in the village. Even my sisters and sisters in law was red from crying, they still held on for their children, my innocent niece and nephews, who would be fatherless.

No father figure in their life, to watch them grow and decide who they want to be.

The woods are still the same, birds chirping and the wind blowing as the leaves flow through the rhythm of the wind. Squirrels and rabbits, deers watching me while I walk. It was the shortest route from our house. I know it's not safe, but I still can't leave it and stay away from it.

The smell of trees as the water from the small ponds were seen, reflecting through the light rays of the sun.

"No-o-o"

It was a shout.

At least it was but the sound already died. I wanted to go and venture out but I was feeling something bad about it. Something's telling me that I might be in a bad position here.

I walk slowly as I tried to be discreet about my walk into the path of a supposed abandoned cabin in the middle of the forest. I was already in the room but I didn't see anything, I was supposed to step out when I hear a pounding sound behind me.

There.

There it is.

I see a man holding a shovel on his right hand while he was burying something, i edge more closer and finally got a clear look.

It was a coffin.

But there's something off about it.

The pounding? Where is it?

Where is it coming from?

I look around but nothing was here. I focused myself more to the guy piling up some soil towards the coffin. I couldn't see his face because he's wearing some kind of mask.

Thud! Thud!

Here it is again. Where is it?

The soil atop from the coffin vibrate and I paled. Is it coming from the coffin? Why?

Don't tell me...

My thoughts were trailed when I hear a familiar sound.

"Don't worry. You and I will accompany him in the future. You just wait there okay?"

He was talking to the coffin. A person was in there.

A living person whose still alive is being buried alive.

His voice and his stature.... Liliana's older brother!

I wanted to escape and return to town and report him to the localities but before I could do that a seemingly rope was tied around my neck. I didn't know that after I tried to think about my escape plan, he already sensed me.

A red rope from my basket was his thing that choking me. Fruits scattered along the dirty soil as I tried to claw my fingers out, as if wishing it could break in half and released me.

I was gasping for air, I could feel my throat longed for air and my hands were frozen midriff as I tried to get away.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt after this. But youre not invited to our house.

Only me, my sister and him can, no one else"

He talks to me, cooing me like I was a child. He was murdering me for godsake!

I didn't even tell my parents how much I'm grateful for them. Their sacrifices and the love they have given to me. I didn't want to die.

I don't want to die.

But life's not fair. I died and the last thing I heard was a bang and a body followed after, his blue eyes staring at me.

He died and I died.

He killed his sister to be with him forever.

And he was obsessed about the three of them.

Obsession want a good thing and now, it leads to something much dangerous than anyone in our town would have expected from him.

This is how I died, and maybe this is how I will die again, in the second time, with the same person and same red rope that he will use to choke me to death.
