Synopsis

"You were never the best pretender. Instead, you are my best friend. My dearest friend. The trust I build-up, and the memories we shared, it all shattered. You broke everything. If killing you would condemn me to hell, I just have to take a seat beside you. I will never forget your betrayal while your body is dying." Set off in the year of 2018, in the capital of Manila, the group of 7 friends, together with the office worker's brother, a popular actress, and a painter, were mystically followed by a person wearing a black hoodie. Everyone has a secret to keep, but when someone tries to peek into the gloom, you will never know how dark they are. _____________________________________________ I originally entitled this story "Diyes" which means "Ten" in Latin words.

Chapter 1Prologue

Darkness consumes the abandoned room. The windows of the warehouse are all shut tight. 

Only source of light coming in from the window are the rays of the moonlight. The sound of the crickets is evident as the thunderstorm echoes from the outside. 

The rain pours down heavily, and the lightning cracks. The cries of the victim are dying down. Their voices are now hoarse because of too much howling. 

The killer's accomplices block the doors, trapping the victims inside the room. They are all wearing the same signature black hoodie. They have masks earlier, but taken off, revealing their cruel faces. 

The silhouette of the killer stands still, glaring at his victim. A killer aims the gun at the first victim's forehead. The others are lying on the floor, battered and beaten. They have no strength left to move. 

"You betrayed me. You are better off killed by my own hands," the killer hisses while crouching down on the floor. He steps through the fresh drips of blood on the ground as he holds on to the victim's face. 

"Don't kill me. We are best friends, right?" The first victim pleads, looking straight towards the killer's eyes that signify loathing. The victim's in despair to save his life. 

"I trusted you!" The killer yells at the victim's face, a gun is shaking in his hands and he can't hold it still. The veins in his neck are throbbing in vain. 

"But you destroyed my whole life!"

"Please... don't-don't do this," the victim stutters, staring straight into the eyes of the killer. The killer's outrageous eyes were terrifying. He despises the victim as the person is sitting right in front of him. The killer shoots the victim's forehead as the thunder booms outside.

A pool of blood flows out of the victim's lifeless body. The killer laughs as silent tears drip down his cheeks. 

"You are better off as a corpse. You are a betrayer."

Unexpectedly, the dimwit, her fiancé who broke off their engagement comes begging for them to get married like they were supposed to. "So what if you're stunning now and lost all that weight? Everyone knows you used to be an ugly duckling. Who knows the underhanded ways you resorted to to lose weight. Forget our past and marry me again." The woman looked at him and snickered. "Aren't you the heir of the Baker family? Why would you marry a fatso like me?" The man huffed and said arrogantly. "Hmph! Do whatever you want.

Reading this had be intrigued from the beginning. If I don't focus on the narrative too much, the introduction of the premise is good. I can easily know what kind of story setting we'd have if I want to keep reading it. It definitely had my curiosity. It made me wonder what kind of twists are on the way. Since it's still in the introduction, I can't give a full depth review on the story development. Most of this will be abstract. One of the hardest to do as a writer is to intrigue readers from the first chapter and this novel does well on that! After the prologue, it entices readers to wonder how that becomes to the main storyline. The transitions between characters in the first chapters were well-done. There are two that stood to me because of the amount times their POVs came up. Since the two of them are about to be affiliated, it made me wonder if one is the protagonist and one is the antagonist. I mean I just saw one person did 3 faces in front of 3 people--that almost screams 'antagonist' for me. The idea of seeing both sides of them sounds exciting. Not only does it give out the bigger picture but also it makes the story much more interesting. Their personalities plus the premise seem like a good mix to keep readers interested. There's a lot of characters. I'm unsure if I'm in favor of having them all come out at the same time. When I read their background, like job descriptions, I wonder how they all had the time to meet because I find it hard in real life ad ulthood. Haha. (deng WN censor. had to redo it lol.) The spontaneity of it does make up for it since it's the unplanned that really push through. I found a few parts confusing, mostly some information. I didn't know how they connect and there was disruption in the flow of narrative. It's easily looked over because I just thought I'd understand it better as I read further. The descriptions in the narrative are a hit and a miss for me. There were details that I thoroughly appreciated and there were lack of details that I looked for. It depends on a reader I guess to what they are after and what the writer wants them to focus on. Because more characters came out right away, I'm not quite attached yet to the main characters. POVs are easily switched with a big group and with multiple characters. It's hard to find the balancing point when everyone has a personality to contribute to the story. Overall, the concept is intriguing. The execution can be improved but it doesn't necessarily bring down the intrigue of the premise. I just think that some improvement can really take it to a next level to where it can fully immerse readers into the story. Good luck on future endeavors!
