Chapter 33: Where the hell is Estelle?

Three woman prepared for this day. This is the day that they have been waiting for. Today is the day that they promised themselves to capture the last laugh. Will they succeed given that they are going to be catching the biggest fish—Estelle Clemence?

Ingit—dahil dito nagsimula ang lahat. Estelle has been the apple of the crowd's eyes. Estelle has been a silent-type yet she is the talk of the public. Estelle has been a living perfection while they are a living trying-to-be. Estelle has Theo's attention while they need to transform just to get into him. Kaya naman, hindi mapigilan ng tatlo ang ma-ingit.

Kahit pa sabihin nilang hinding-hindi matatalo ng kasamaan ng kabutihan, hindi din naman natin makakaila na sa araw-araw ay parehong naroroon ang dalawang to na namumuhay kasama natin. Minsan kaya ding manaig ng kasamaan sa atin pero 'yun ay dahil hinahayaan natin.

Today, this woman will make sure that they will be able to spread darkness into Estelle to get her killed. In that way, everything will be perfect for their wicked plans. These things earned a loud wicked laugh from the three.

A place of pitch dark where only few things can spark. A not that polluted area but do you think you are still in the area? If not for the old window, this place must be a place for a newly widowed—silent and perfect for grieving. Funny this things turned out into Estelle's place of pain-to-be.

Estelle felt a freezing cold thing stretching from her nape into her feet. So, she slowly tried to open her eyes as soon as she heard a sound of a lizard despite of the unfamiliarity of the ambience. Where the hell is Estelle? When her eyes are fully opened, she saw a corrupted ceiling where the sound of the lizard is coming from. She tried shaking her head but it throbbed suddenly.

"Crap!" she whispered because she can't utter a shout.

She tapped her head and massages it gently. Suddenly, she heard a sound from a metal. She frown as she realized it is from a chain connected into the fetter in her ankles. Her hands has handcuffs and is connected to a chain too.

Who would dare to do this to her? They must be stupid for doing this.

"The apple is awake!" said by somebody who is probably approaching Estelle's location.

The sound of the footsteps made by more than one were visible now. Estelle immediately braced herself. She needs to be prepared and calm. She glanced at her lower left side and found that she is lately lying on a cold metal box.

The door opened and the Black Trio shared the place. Kendall is smirking while holding a whip. Mae is frowning while looking at Estelle—eye-to-eye. Aprilyn is holding a sickle and pick while grinding at Estelle.

"Where am I?" Estelle said in a momotone manner.

Aprilyn laughed. "Are you sick?" She rolled her eyes. "Well, why bother to ask that? You are going to die anyway!"

The three laughed in unison. Estelle shaked her head as a sign of forfeit. This girls are extremely sick, so why bother to ask them?

Estelle's eyes widen as soon as she heard a footsteps approaching her way. She decided to fight but then the hancuffs and the fetter stopped her from doing so. Mae grabbed some of her hair and pulled it harshly.

"Ahhh!" Estelle's shout enveloped the area.

The three started chuckling while seeing their rival experiencing pain. Mae approached Estelle a little bit as she grabbed Estelle's nape and forehead and then twisted it in a hurtful manner.

"Ahhh!" Estelle shouted once again as soon as she felt the pain in her neck. Her tears started to pool. She doesn't want to look vulnerable but she just can't help crying out.

"Opsss. I never expected that tears." Kendall walked into Estelle while her palms are on her waist. "Don't worry Estelle this is just the beginning of the worst." Kendall laughed like the witch's. "That fucking tears will tripled or quadrupled!"

The three laughed once again. Estelle slowly move her head despite of the painful neck. Her wrist and ankles are reddish as well because of the handcuffs and fetter. She slowly move backwards and took a deep breath.

"Holy God, help me because I will help myself," Estelle whispered softly.

Kendall and Mae is busy preparing 'Estelle's Hell'. Aprilyn decided to approached Estelle. Aprilyn is smiled as she shook her head. Seeing this lass as their prisoner is a total satisfaction. Who would have thought that the smart and unstoppable Estelle is right in front of her. Who would have thought that this time they finally got the biggest fish? They failed multiple times but look at now, they finally got her.

Aprilyn bend out and stared Estelle. "Do you know how much I loved seeing you here after a lot of tries?"

Napangiwi si Estelle but despite of the condition she faced Aprilyn with blazing eyes. "Let me guess." She looked at the ceiling. "You are the one's who spread that Loris and I are having and affair. Then, you put a sleeping pills on my drink during the opening ceremony. After that, you showered me some arrows while performing on the gymnastics competition." Estelle faced Aprilyn. "And before I forgot, you let the weak Kendall Jeanick held a sword in the hallway."

Aprilyn's jaw immediately tightened. She suddenly launched a punch on Estelle's stomach that made Estelle puke some blood. Estelle's eyes were blurry because of the pain. Her breathing became slower as her vision started seeing darkness.

"That's what you get from insulting the leader of 1st Queen Bee and Black Trio." She grabbed Estelle's neck and choked it. "You are helpless right now so don't act like your bulletproof!"

Estelle spit some blood again while Aprilyn is still choking her. Her tee and jeans are covered with blood. Her hands and legs started shaking. Her neck is experiencing too much pain but she can't even utter a shout. She wants to cry out the pain but the force of Aprilyn is too much to handle. Estelle is already damage and that made her super helpless. There, she remembered a reminder from Secret.

Estelle is on her way home after a short talk with Mrs. Margaux. She is wearing her white tee and pedal jeans with black rubber shoes. As she step forward she can also hear another footsteps. The presence of this someone is somewhat familiar to her. Her brow raised as the footsteps became louder. She stopped and face her back.

"Secret," Estelle mumbled.

Secret smirked. "I'm glad you remembered me, Este—"

"Because I don't tend to forgot anything," Estelle said while rolling her eyes.

Secret rolled her eyes as well. "And not because you care?" Secret's eyes narrowed. "Didn't I told you that you must care, Estelle?"

She turn her body around and started strolling. "Why would I care? Hmmm."

"If you won't care, I won't care as well!" Secret said and that made Estelle stopped.

Estelle raised her brow and turn around. "I believe you are trying to state something. What is it?"

Secret smirked. "I won't care, right?"

Estelle chuckled. "Oh, you did?" Estelle took a deep breath. "Then, why are you still here?"

The smirk on Secret's face vanished in an instant. She faced Estelle with blazing eyes. Her jaws are perfectly tightened as her teeth are grinding pass each other.

"Tomorrow, make sure to survive because you have to care! If you will not care, I'll take your life by myself! Retrieved your past loss, Estelle. It's time to pay us back!"

A lot of presence came into the picture. Estelle just realized that Aprilyn is not holding her neck anymore. One cloaked man approaches her way. She can't see the face because of the cloak.

"Who are you?" Estelle said.

"Anonymous Y," the cloaked man said while freeing her hands and feet.

Estelle glanced at the front and saw the three dead bodies.

"Anonymous Head killed the three by herself. Since you are already free, let me ask a question," Anonymous Y said as he step backwards.

Estelle lift her hands a bit. Then, she tried to stand. Anonymous Y approached her immediately and help her stand. Estelle's lips twisted as Anonymous Y's arms are on his waist at the same time, she felt the pain in her stomach.

"I can manage. Thank you," Estelle whispered.

"Alright." Anonymous Y step backwards.

"What question are you referring?" Estelle said while enduring the physical pain.

"Oh!" Anonymous Y cleared his throat. "Are you willing to pay us back?"

Estelle immediately turn her head into Anonymous Y. "I appreciate your efforts. What do you want? But I don't think I can trust you, Anonymous Y."

Anonymous Y's eyes narrowed. "Anonymous Head saved your ass today and yet—"

"All of us are capable of being good and bad. Anonymous Head might save me today but who knows that person will also kill me tomorrow? And how can I trust a faceless person?"

Anonymous Y harshly pulled his clock off. Oval face with black hair, black thick brows with chocolate-colored eyes, long pointed nose with high cheek bones and fine thin lips. "I'm Seody Ydebieme. We are not faceless just like what you said."

"Seody?" Estelle whispered as her eyes narrowed.
