Hindi siya makagalaw sa kinatatayuan niya nang marinig niyang magsalita si Dark. Ngunit napukaw ang atensyon niya nang marinig niyang kinakapos na ng hininga ang batang lalaki. She dared to get close to Dark. Nakatingin pa rin ito sa kanya na para bang binabalaan siyang huwag lumapit.
"Dark," she said but then Dark wrapped his fingers tighter around the boy's neck. She tried to push him but the man was quicker. With a brandish of his arm, she was sent flying across the hallway. Her back hit one of the portraits and it fell with her.
She looked at the boy. He is clawing Dark's fingers, trying to remove it but to no avail. Nagulat naman siya nangg marinig niyang magsalita ang batang lalaki.
"Papa," sabi nito. Nakatingin ito kay Dark habang pauli-ulit na binibigkas ang salitang papa.
