Ever heard of Philippines? It's in the Southeast Asia known to be the gateway of Asia. Its capital is called Manila, it was colonized three times by Spaniards, Americans and Japanese. Some of you reading this story might even come to the same place as I but let me tell you something this place that you think you know so well has secrets that I will only reveal to you. My name is Mary Joy and this is my story.
I was walking towards the train station when all hell broke loose.
I was humming to myself my favorite song pay phone as I was walking and saw a boy running towards me. He seems to be holding a sword and he seem to be running towards me! I ran as fast as I could but then he caught me and stab me right at my stomach but no blood came out and weirdly the sword seems to pass through me. I yelled scared at what I am seeing, as I was yelling the boy slowly took the sword out of my body. I turned to look at him.
He has long black hair and bright blue eyes that seems to be tired and lonely. He looked at me with a puzzled look which is kind of weird because I'm supposed to be the one puzzled with this incident.
"Why didn't it turn her to dust?" He murmured to himself thinking that his voice is soft enough for me not to hear. I wave my hand over his eyes.
"Hello anyone there? I can hear you perfectly you know. So what's this about turning me into dust and who are you? I'm guessing you're a foreigner because almost every guy I know doesn't like speaking in English." He looked at my eyes and he was puzzled more than he was a while ago. He then turn and walk the way he came back. I quickly run towards him.
"Hep Hep Hep, Where do you think you're going? You haven't answered my question yet and from what I'm guessing you're lost and you don't even know where this is." He tried walking towards the other direction but I stopped him.
"Let me through" He said.
"Not until you answer my questions." I countered.
"Fine. My name is Nico Di Angelo and yes I am a foreigner in this country and I don't have any idea what or where this place is. Now let me through." He said angrily.
"Since you're lost and guessing from you height you're around 15 you're coming with me." I said grabbing his shirt and pulling him towards the direction that I wanted.
"By the way my name is Mary Joy and this is Philippines." I said. He looked at me and then asked.
"Phillippines? Never heard of that country before. Where is it located?"
"Well it's in Southeast Asia. Almost all of the people here can speak English some not as good as me since I'm a student but they are understandable so don't worry much about communicating with us."
"Thank you." He said in a very soft voice that if I wasn't paying attention to him I wouldn't have heard it. I smiled and said 'you're welcome'. I continue to drag him. I hope we can find his parents soon so he could go home but I really want my other question answered. What was he talking about a while ago? What kind of sword is the one he's carrying? I guess my questions can wait until he could finally have the courage to answer it and tell all of the things that he's hiding from me.
