I stopped walking when an arrow suddenly appeared a few inches from my foot. I looked back to where it came from.

My eyes narrowed when I saw them. Why again?

"Get her!" Shouted Mr. Killer eyes that widened my eyes.

"What !?" I shouted but no one noticed me and their companions ran towards me. They were all holding bows and arrows.

I could do nothing but run away from them. I went back inside the market.

“Packing tape oh! What's wrong with you !? "I shouted angrily.

Everything I pass is retreating or giving way to me. I could see the astonishment and shock on their faces.

"Why is he being chased?"

"Is he a thief?"

"Here is the powerful group!"

"The popogi and they'll still be beautiful."

Mga bwesit! What is my fault with them? Sapakan nalang oh.

"Fiona Renee, stop right there!" Mr. Killer eyes shouted coldly

“What am I, shunga? You didn't catch me. Think about it when you have time, damuho! "I shouted back

"Lady, stop if you don't want to get hurt!" Shouted another man.

“Why? If I stop, you won't hurt me !? Please often. "I shouted

"Fiona!" I turned to Nica who was worriedly looking at me. I just smiled at her and continued running.

"Ahhhh"

I stopped running and looked behind me.

“Veronica!” I shouted

He is now being held by Mr. Killer eyes while staring sharply at me.

"Come with us if you don't want to hurt this friend of yours." He said calmly but emphatically.

"Let him go first!" I shouted

"Come with us first."

"I won't come as long as you still hold him!"

“Come to Brieve. When you approach her, I will release this woman. "

My eyebrows rose. “And you think I’ll believe you? In that face of yours? Tsk. "

"Are you coming or coming !?" he shouted angrily

"Oh?" I asked in response

He suddenly pulled out a knife and aimed it at Nica's neck.

“It's coming! Bwesit — wait, who's Brieve to you !? "I said angrily

The woman raised her hand so I approached her, at the same time Mr. let go. Killer eyes are Nica. He approached me and I did not realize that he had stabbed me in the neck because of my dizziness and drowsiness in my body.

"Now, let's find out who you really are." Was the last I heard before I completely lost consciousness.

I woke up earlier feeling a bit dizzy and having a headache. I feel like I'm coming out of a serious hang-over. But what I didn’t expect was that instead of critical eyes popping up on me I was in a cozy room. Though dizzy I sat up. I checked around and realized I was in a large room right now. Too big and flashy.

I stopped to look at a pitcher of water on the table on the side of the bed. I immediately picked it up and poured water to drink. A soft sigh escaped from my mouth.

I stood up and immediately I felt the cold floor, I was still a bit shivering because of it. However I ignored it and finally stood up. I was still a little dizzy so I touched the edge of the bed. When I was a bit okay I walked over and continued to explore the room where I am now.

Even if I don't really know where I am now, I still don't feel any danger. Thus, I feel safe and secured.

I opened the door and peered outside, only to be welcomed by a comfortable silence of an empty hallway. I waited for my body to react and panic but nothing. I stayed calm and collected. It feels like this is where I belong. It is my home.

Barefooted, I can walk freely without making any noise. I scanned the place. Frames with pictures were on the walls. There are random paintings, unfamiliar faces and most especially those family portraits. I was glued on that specific area. There's a man and a woman, they seem so happy and in love. Their eyes were glimmering with sparks and happiness. It shows too much positive emotions that it made me smile. Who are you? Why does it hurts me seeing your faces?

"Fiona?"

I was snapped out of my thoughts and looked at ... her. Her.

"Where am I?" my weak voice asked.

"You're in our house."

Her voice were like a beautiful song for me. Who is she?

"Renee?" call a deep voice.

Ms. and I were together. Stranger turned to the man. I thought I was what he called me since I had Renee by name but no. Instead, he came close to the girl and hugged her.

"Fiona ..."

A pang of overwhelming longing crept all over me.

"W-Who are you?" I breathed out.

A smile made to his way and moved towards me.

"It's okay. We won't hurt you." he said calmly.

I tried to recall what happen last time. And I started to panic.

"Where am I? Why am I here? Who are you? Are you an accomplice of Mr. Killer eyes? Let me go! What do you need from me!" I shouted.

"Hey hey-"

"No!" I shouted

"We're not bad people. We saved to from those people. We want to help you. Calm. Calm." he said and slowly approached me and hugged me.

I immediately calmed down. I don’t know why and how but his hug helped me calm down.

"Let's go to the living room first." suddenly the woman's groin.

By the looks of them, they look like they're married, they're in their mid 30's, I guess? And they look very much like the woman and man in the portrait earlier.

The man nodded and helped me walk. Ms. fetched water. Stranger and makes me drink. Then I stared at them.

"Who are you?" I will ask.

The woman just smiled and shook her head. What?

"Would you like to take a walk?" Mr. asked back to me. Stranger.

"How did you save me from them?" I asked again

"Would you like to take a walk?" the man asked again.

I wanted to get angry and shout at them but something seemed to be holding me back. Instead I nodded and smiled. This is weird.

They both stood up and before I could even walk the man suddenly disappeared next to his wife. I stared at the woman in shock.

"Hurry up!" Mr. shouted. Stranger who looks like he's already at the front door.
