"Ninong Jerry: Hey kiddo. Hope you're OK. You were sleeping like a baby when I reach the clinic. I'll explain everything once your school things are done"

"Unknown Number: Minutes after you read this, She will come to you"

"Unknown Number: Keep an eye on the soup, make sure not to eat the meat inside. Hid it carefully"

"Unknown Number: Check your pants side pocket - Carol E."

What was that? Some weirdo got my number already?

Row of beds, white sheets and bright a bright light surround the area.

How did I get in here again?

Trying to recall the last events, A chilling shiver from my spine crawl all over me as I remember the voice inside my head. I remember my body felt like I'm falling endlessly into abyss of darkness.

I remember people bursting into flames out of nowhere.

And I remember my Ninong descending from the sky.

I can't make sense of everything that I remember, but I know it's real.

"Hi, you're awake" A lady holding a tray of food greeted me.

I felt a sudden surge of dizziness when I heard her voice, but it was all gone when the smell of food filled the whole room as she set it on my bed. Her crimson red hair is quite mesmerizing as it flow down her shoulder.

"I'm the school Doctor, most students here call me Mrs. Ivy. I know you got a lot of questions, but you should eat up first."

"I'm in school?", I kinda forgot that I'm going to school.

"Eat up", The whole room suddenly smell sweet.

The smell of soup in front of me is so seducing, greens and oranges floats in it and there i noticed. A single piece of meat floating in the center.

Didn't I receive a message about meat in soup? How did it know?

"Are you related to Blood Sky?" Mrs. Ivy took a quick glance at me as she rummages some papers on her table.

Whos blood sky? I think Mang Kulas mentioned that before too.

"Who?"

"Oh?" She cleared her crimson hair in front of her face as she looks at me curious.

"You don't know? Just eat your soup, and we will talk later" Her sudden smile suddenly raise so many questions. Who's Blood Sky?.

Now back to my soup. I need to check my phone again. Who's Carol E.?

"Unknown Number: Check your pants side pocket - Carol E."

Quickly patting my pocket, I felt an object inside it.

*ding*

"Carol E: Don't show it to her"

I quickly scaned the area, no window. How does she know?

Checking my inside pocket, there rest a ring. No harm in trusting Carol E. I guess. I will check it later.

"Reply: Who are you?"

"Carol E: Eat your soup, hid the meat, she will get suspicious"

The soup tastes fantastic. Just a sip from it made it felt like colors started pouring inside the room.

After finishing the soup, I hid the meat inside my pocket. Just what's in this meat anyway.

"Mrs. Ivy, can you tell me what's going on?"

"Im not sure if I'm the right person to tell you this, but you are attacked by Crimson Cult. They are worshiper of the Fire of Saint Elmo. They are after the blood that you host"

"Fire of Saint Elmo? Blood that I host?"

"Our Principal will explain everything and I believe your friends are here to see you".

Familiar faces greeted me as they walk in the room.
